Dead Rising for Wii is not a port, there are many changes

There have been a few very well-done ports on the Wii, but a handful of them have made horrible transitions. Fortunately, no one will have to be concerned about Dead Rising for Wii being a port, as Christian Svensson has explained that the game is being reconstructed just for Wii owners.

"If you like RE4 Wii's control scheme, you're going to love this. I think it's important to note: this isn't a port. This is recreated from the ground up for the Wii. So while it borrows things like story and location, there are many changes from the 360 beyond the obvious graphical ones." - Christian Svensson, Capcom's Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

It'll be a different game totally by changing the main character to Chuck Norris OR The Pikmin astronaut guy!

I'll bite if it makes the game saves more fair than on the 360.

I loved Dead Rising on the 360, but I doubt I'll get the Wii version unless it has substantial new content. And I highly doubt the Wii can manage the same number of zombies on-screen that the 360 could.

Dead Rising 2 plz? That game just demands an entire open-world city instead of just a itty bitty mall...

It will suck. The Wii isn't strong enought to render hundreds of enemies on screen.

I bet the story, setting, and items will be the same. All that will change will be the controls and graphics. How does that not constitute a port?

Yeah Yeah, we've heard it all before.

LOL, Wii owners are always excited about ports, makes you feel sorry for them. They love the Wii Capcom treats them, they sell them other consoles left-overs and they gobble it.
