If they ever ported it to the PS3, I would only buy it if they took out that timer.

@pwnsause: Nintendo hasn't forgotten about hardcore gamers. 1:1 motion control certainly isn't for casual gamers who are more than happy waggling their little sticks at the screen & hoping for the best, it's for hardcore gamers. Stringer might want you to believe that the Wii is an "overpriced niche gaming device," but that's actually what the PS3.

Capcom why? On PS3 it's alot more likely sell better unlike the wii.Sure you can say the wii has a bigger install base but most people are going to buy wii(Fit sports and ETC)over a hardcore game.

You cannot be serious... I think you're just over exaggerating. The PS3 is nothing like the Dreamcast. They have a strong first party line up, even with games that have not been announced yet like the one from Team Ico.

They may have lost some third party exclusivity, but you still get to play most of them since they're multiplatform, so what's the problem?

4.2 - I agreed that Sony may have made a mistake
with the Cell processor. I think they should of just went with a more conventional tri-core or quad-core design and used the savings to bump the ram to 1 gig. As is smaller 3rd party devs don't know how or can't afford to develop on it. While the bigger 3rd parties just do multiplat that doesn't push the Cell anyway. But it isn't a Dreamcast in terms of support by any stretch of the imagination.

PS3's problem isn't architecture, it's price. PS2 was a nightmare for developers at first, but it was amassing an install base at the pace of the Wii today so developers gritted their teeth & took it like a man. Problem for Sony this generation is they over shot what consumers were willing to spend on a game console by $300 & further compounded the problem by launching during a global economic down turn.

Why the f*ck did Nintendo not announce this at E3. Not only are they taking away one of xbox 360's exclusive their also bringing a gory game that can appeal to HARDCORE gamers. Seriously. If nintendo had announced this people would be looking at their conference in a different perspective.

It's amazing how fanboys on N4G complain to no end about the Wii not catering to the hardcore audience.

But whenever a hardcore game is announced the fanboys either ignore it altogether, or mock the system and say the game will suck.

If you don't own a Wii, in my opinion you're a moron if you care about the system so much. I own a PS3 and a Wii - and I don't care about what games get released on the 360. Actually, screw that, I DO care. I hope 360 owners get awesome games too. I hope everyone who owns any of the systems enjoys gaming to the fullest. And if a game comes out on a system I don't own, and it sucks, you're not going to hear me bash the system, and probably not even the game.

Maybe Nintendo didn't announce hardcore games at E3 because they know that the hardcore gamers know enough about the industry to seek out information on their own about the hardcore games they want to play. The casual fanbase NEEDS to see the new casual games in the media, or else they'll never find out about them!

Its not that the Wii can't play hardcore games, its just that Capcom conveniently decided to ignore the PS3 when it comes to making hardcore games multiplatform.

Although, the Wii shouldn't play victim to this mess...

Now see why couldn't Nintendo announced this at the E3 conference?! That would of given props to the core gamer. The Wii has and gets the core titles it's just Nintendo doesn't seem to want to talk of them to much ><

All you people saying that it should go to Ps3..shut up. Capcom probably wanted it to be on Wii beacuse it is a lot cheaper to develop than the Ps3, also they probably wanted to see if they could the same succes as Re4 Wii.

17 - Congratulations, Capcom!
For continuing to find ways to piss off and lose your hardcore fans. I'm so sick of their bullshit.. I hope the game fails miserably so they realize a 360/PS3 DR2 was the right thing to do. Feck off.

I love my underpowered Wii that hardly ever get any real use outside of gamecube games.Seriously i do but i don't want this very cool franchise ruined by appearing on this system.

Great game with fantastic visuals on 360, i would only be disapointed to play this on Wii
