What's New in Wii Dead Rising

1UP's Kevin Gifford writes: "We heard Wednesday that Dead Rising, one of the more memorable sandbox games on the Xbox 360, is coming to the Wii, but now we've got further details on the game translated directly from the Famitsu article that made the revelation. The new port, called Dead Rising: Zombie Sacrifice in Japan, will feature all manner of new features and expanded gameplay -- and as producer and director Minoru Nakai discussed with Weekly Famitsu magazine this week, it's all part of an effort to make the notoriously difficult game more appealing to the casual user base."

Making a hardcore game more casual for the Wii? Who finds this shocking?

1 - The original wasnt hard...
Unless you tried to save all the survivors, and if you really wanted to save someone you just gave them a gun to defend themselves. Its an awesome game that I feel will be turned into a mess on the wii.

Yay, another port I'm expected to pay full price for. These games come out well over a year before they're released in the UK and I'm still expected to pay £40($80).

2.1 - Probably not worth it
I could be wrong, but its probably not worth even a rental.

3 - Dead rising is one of the most underrated games of the last 18 months
Dead rising on 360 is a fantastic game, theres just so many various and hilarious ways of killing the zombies it never gets tiresome, the bosses are all unique and challenging the first couple of playthroughs..... there was also 24 hour mode that had a very compelling and tough ending to it *not a story related spoiler* (having to go through the tunnels with literally thousands of zombies surrounding you) and the last boss in 24 hour mode was one tough cookie..... and lastly there was of course the achievements like having to escort 8 survivors all at once and having every characters portrait in your notebook (i still have 2 more out of 76 to find)..... all i can say is wii fans are in for a treat and should buy it..... and if theres 360 owners out there who still aint played it then buy this game, its in the xbox 360 classics collection now so its cheap........

<I own it for 360 and have only played the first half hour of the game... over and over again. There's just something about the controls that always pisses me off. Everything else in the game I found awesome... but those controls need some layout options. Maybe I'll rent it for the wii to check out the control scheme.)

5 - WTF Capcom
Capcom continues to exhibit their blatant bias against the PS3. This game is MUCH more appropriate for the PS3, yet they bring it to the wii??? I would loved to have been in the meeting where this was decided.

I guess all those core gamers over on the Wii have been crying out for this title.

5.1 - no
They haven't been crying for it. PS3 users have been!!!

Petition anyone??? Seriously, this isn't fair to the PS3 gamers. It won't sell very well on the Wii and Capcom knows that! They're not complete MORONS!

Why port it to the Wii when you'd sell many more copies on the PS3?

At first I was ok with nintendo's expanded audience philosophy ...but now I see what all the fuss is about..this casual thing really is a problem.
