Capcom secret Wii project still coming (It wasn't Spyborgs)

[flipping_heck]

Based off a next-gen fave title

Thought Spyborgs was Capcom's "or something like that" title? Think again, they're cooking up something else entirely. Late last month, we reported that Capcom were planning a Wii title similar to Lost Planet and Bionic Commando which would be announced over the coming weeks. Shortly after our story, Capcom announced the madcap Saturday morning TV style title Spyborgs, leading us to believe that Spyborgs was indeed the mysterious "or something like that" title. How wrong we were. Issue #25 of NGamer Magazine features a very small preview of Spyborgs, with an enigmatic quote nestled within. "There's a bullet with our name on it if we speak of their ultra top secret Wii title (a surprising take on a next-gen favourite), so we'll stick to the safer, though still intruiging, Spyborgs." A new take on a next-gen favourite? Bionic Commando and Lost Planet are definite possibilities then. Just to get you salivating like a rabid dog over the possibilities, we hear Devil May Cry 4, Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5 and Dead Rising have quite a fan following as well.

Hmm..its not MM9 then.

"Next gen favorite" implies a game already released on 360/PS3 to me..perhaps a Dead Rising or Lost Planet spin off?

[cw_sasuke]

resi 5 wii, sf 4 wii or dead rising wii ?

[Aaron Strife]

MM9 (yeah I went there) or DMC/RE

[batbeg]

Interesting. I wonder why they wouldn't have shown it off at Captivate? I'd assume (perhaps wrongly) that it's going to be one of the two unnamed titles at E3 next month though, so here's to hoping!

WiiWare: Lost Winds - 4 Star Soldier - 3 TV Show King - 3 FF: CC - 5 Toki Tori - 4 Pop - 3 Defend Your Castle - 2 VIP Casino - 1 Critter Round Up - 2 Dr Mario - 2

Uh... huh?

Either that or devs have begun using "next gen" as a general synonym for "hardcore" :/

If that's the case, then MM9 is a possibility. But I'm thinking maybe it's RE5 or something.

[titiklabingapat]

sounds like a spin off.

[Divvy]

The Wiiware scores are out of 5 right?

[Aeris130]

Dementium - 80

Out in jooropp?

[Saint Gregory]

Uh... huh?

That's got to be on a scale of 1-5... right?

Anyway, "next-gen favourite" sounds like one of their new IPs to me so I'd think it's something related to LP or DR.

[nincompoop]

Uh... huh?

Something tells me that they're using a different scale for their WiiWare reviews than their console reviews. Like, maybe a 5 point scale. Just a hunch.

[cw_sasuke]

MM9 (yeah I went there) or DMC/RE

dmc on wii could be nice.....

[thebagofsand]

Devil May Cry Zero where you play as kid Dante. Has cute and colorful enemies, every one looks like a chibi.

So Wii DMC ? Wii RE ?

Well, the fact that it's a "surprising take" means that they actually did some research on the title, instead of throwing one of their franchises and add waggle, which can only mean good things. I'm all for devs reinventing their franchises.

[PantherLotus]

[Coolio McAwesome]

I'm predicting a bizarre Dead Rising themed sports game.

[Sule]

Sounds like Resident Evil Wii. It's Resident Evil Wii. Has to be.

[Dascu]

Lost Planet Wii.

[tabsina]

long shot, but "next gen favourite" could be referring to a genre (and if that be the case - it'll most likely be FPS)

[thetrin]

Resident Evil Soccer.

[[Nintex]]

A new Resident Evil with Re4: Wii controls would be amazing.

[BrodiemanTTR]

Rocketmen Wii

Listen GAF. If you think "a surprising take on a next-gen favorite" means anything other than "disappointing spinoff with waggle," you are really setting yourselves up for disappointment.

I hope I'm wrong, but 3rd-parties really haven't proved anything on the Wii at all. Originals have been great, the ports have been good to below-average, but the spinoffs have been complete trash and we all know it.

[cw_sasuke]

A new take on a next-gen favourite?

Rocketmen Wii

doesn`t compute

[Dascu]

Rocketmen Wii

Commando Wii.

[Linkhero1]

Lost Planet or DMC

[louie]

Street Fighter 5.

Sadly true. But maybe it'll buck the trend and not suck.

Out of all the 3rd parties so far, I'd say Capcom is most deserving of people's faith:

RE4 while a port was probably the most well done port yet.

RE:UC turned into a solid project

Zack and Wiki is probably the most acclaimed 3rd party original game (along with Boom Blox)

Okami was brought to Wii even though it was very difficult to do so

And Monster Hunter 3, a legitimately big franchise in Japan is a Wii exclusive.

I guess my point is, even a Capcom "spin off" has the potential to be very good.

[Canti]

Devil May Cry light-gun game (with occasional waggle slashing).

[Nuclear Muffin]

Resident Evil 6, announced at E3 and shown before RE5 even comes out.

[Puncture]

A hell of a thing to say about the best 3rd party on the Wii. It is the case with 99% of the Wii third parties, but you really need to not let that stop you from giving that lonely 1% the credit it deserves here. Capcom has done right by the Wii moreso than any of the others, And even the spin off UC was decent. If there were ever a 3rd party you should actually GET a little hope for its them.

[Pojo]

Clearly it a Resident Evil 2 remake with RE4 controls.

:(

I wouldn't be surprised it turns out to be an on-rail shooter.

[schuelma]

I had that thought as well. Hope not

[dyls]

How could Bionic Commando be a next-gen favorite when it hasn't even released yet? Lost Planet or Dead Rising are definitely the front-runners.

[beef3483]

Just what I was thinking, and I won't buy it.

[PantherLotus]

I'm not saying Capcom hasn't done an above average job so far, i'm just saying lower your expecations.

[flintstryker]

Mega Street Dead Resident of Lost Planet May Cry

[Dascu]

Imagine: Next-Gen Gamez
Features characters and locations of games as Dead Rising or Resident Evil 5 in an all-new party-game with intuitive waggle controls to offer the Wii owner glimpses of the real games never appearing on his own console.

;)

[tabsina]

a few people are saying lost planet .. but i'm just thinking that it is odd for them to choose to say they were planning a title "similar to lost planet and bionic commando" if they were talking about lost planet itself

[Linkhero1]

What other next-gen title is similar to those two games?

[sevenchaos]

I want this to be a new Resident Evil.

[Atomspike]

Fei Long is missing.

[tabsina]

What other next-gen title is similar to those two games?

no idea.. but its just weird phrasing if it is lost planet

[batbeg]

They didn't say that, I'm pretty sure. The text within the quotation marks is NGamers, the rest is probably from a website or something.

Edit: Or not. I don't really understand the context of the quote to be honest.
