Capcom’s Keiji Inafune, the creator of Dead Rising and Lost Planet, has announced that he is indeed working on a Wii game. No information was given concerning the title, but Mr. Inafune is hoping to show the project this year.

Ugh, it's going to be a Mega Man game, I can feel it... ;_;

Is this the producer that does the Megaman series? It may be something new or something in the vein of his two recent titles.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #5 on:** January 19, 2007, 04:58:28 PM »

That heavily depends on his involvement. Is he on a "new" streak, or is he on a "milking" streak?

If he makes an original wii game I hope he gives it as much attention as he did Lost Planet in terms of advertising. Ad's for that game was EVERYWERE!

Frankil I wouldn't mid if it was a wii dead rising with all the Zombies being modified mii's, then you can see mii's you've created as Zombies.

It'll probably be a new game, otherwise Capcom could've just announced it as a Mega Man title. Wouldn't be much of a surprise, right? I'd like to see them take their time and make a Mega Man game using the Wii remote effectively.

Both Dead Rising and Lost Planet got old after a while because most of the game consists of killing hordes of enemies over and over and over.... I hope this game is different.

Sources tell me he's working on a Mega Man game based on the Pokemon Dash engine.

Dead Rising Wii could be really awesome. Actually killing zombies with your bare hands!

Do they even have Inafune on their Megaman teams anymore?

Even if it is a megaman game I'd expect some use of the Wii remote. Buster aiming anyone?

Megaman Battle Network Wii... I hope to hell it isn't.

We need a name, at least that way we can make proper baseless speculations. D=

I don't think it'll be a normal Battle Network game. Letting aside that their storyline is now officially ended these have never been released on a normal console. It might be a spinoff like Network Transmission.

I thinks that has to do with Microsoft. Remeber halo commercials run damn near a year. Its a nintendo game so i guarantee you will never see an ad for it unless its a kids game on cartoon network. Otherwise forget about it. I have YET to see a commercial for Zelda! If i havent seen a Zelda commercial i cant possibly expect to see a commercial for anything else. dis game is doomz.

Dead Phoenix will be a great game to revive. Hears hoping. I hoping they are porting RE5! I would feel all warm and fuzzy.

It's the beginning of the Wii's life, so they don't advertise single games; they advertise the console as a whole, with clips from various games. Also, Zelda doesn't even need advertising - it had an 80% attach ratio, for crying out loud.

Also, Nintendo has set aside $200 million US for advertising - that's more than enough.

Galford · « **Reply #16 on:** January 20, 2007, 03:18:15 PM »

Could we be getting real info on the Wii version of RE?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #17 on:** January 20, 2007, 06:22:55 PM »

I doubt it's Resident Evil. I don't think they'd be secretive about that. Never mind that Inafune is only involved with the even numbered REs.

Viewtiful mario · « **Reply #18 on:** January 21, 2007, 04:20:29 AM »

Whatever happened to Umbrella Cronicles? That game seemed to just dissapear with no official info.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #19 on:** January 21, 2007, 05:29:39 AM »

It's in production. What do you want? Weekly updates?

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #20 on:** January 21, 2007, 02:34:44 PM »

I hope it's an original game which will at least be taken seriously. It irks the hell out of me when companies develop titles for Nintendo consoles which are clearly aimed at a younger demographic (I'm looking at YOU, Billy Hatcher).

Despite the fact that I don't even care for the GTA genre, it pleases me to see games like Godfather being designed for Wii controls and rumors of Reggie Regginating Rockstar about bringing GTA to the Wii because these are the games that will permanently negate Nintendo's previous kiddie image.

If MS is being truthful about Nintendo being their primary competition this generation, then the best weapon they have against them is labeling the Wii a "kiddie" console and attempting to use insecurity to discourage people from buying it.

I don't think it'll necessarily work, as Wii sales have been phenomenal thus far, but this tactic HAS worked against Nintendo in the past with great success. The tactic will vanish entirely if the Wii offers too many "mature" games for playing the kiddie card to work.

Didn't they did that already? I heard that they did a flash movie where they killed some Nintendo characters back when the XBOX was first released.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #22 on:** January 21, 2007, 07:14:16 PM »

They can label it kiddie all they want, that still won't make grandma overcome her confusion and try to understand what all the buttons on a 360 controller do.

I think Microsoft going after the kiddie image wouldn't matter much and just be a bad move for them. They are already known as this hardcore gamer machine that you won't want without online, an hdtv, and the love of shooting people in the face. If they started a campaign like this it would make them look even more hardcore, and even possibly push people towards Nintendo who aren't super hardcore themselves.

I think this is going to be an original game. He seems to be on a streak of original games and he might want to make a new game people in Japan will actually buy and remember.
