No Dead Rising Wii, why Monster Hunter 3 went to the Wii, Dead Phoenix won't be rising from the ashes

Christian Svensson, Capcom's Sr. Director of Strategic Planning & Research has been providing Nintendo fans with tons of details about the company and possible upcoming details the past few weeks. Today was no exception, as Svensson once again divulged quite a bit of new information. First, some of you may remember Dead Phoenix, a game that Capcom showed off for the GameCube years ago. The game drew many comparisons to Kid Icarus, but eventually, the game slid under the radar and was canned. A good portion of the gaming community hoped for the revival of the game, perhaps by partially remolding the game as we knew it. Unfortunately, it looks like not even this is possible. Said Svensson, "As far as CEI resurrecting it, frankly, we have enough things on our plate at the moment and enough ideas in the pipeline that we don't need to be going back to that well."

Other info from the news post
- Monster Hunter 3 moved to Wii not only because of the high PS3 development costs that we heard about a few months ago
- Dead Rising remake won't be coming to the Wii, nor is there any new details on a new DR game
