Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking. I don't have any insight into Capcom's development studios but I guess their top re team has been rather occupied with re5. Can't blame them for waiting how sales of re5 turn out and then decide on where to put the next mayor effort in the series.Us Wii owners should indeed be happy that we get something in the meantime.

I'm sure there are some who are happy. But accepting that one must accept that there are people who are unhappy as well. No way Capcom is going to win in this situation.
In my opinion, they'd be in better shape if there were other games developed with the same budget and prestige as Devil May Cry 4, Lost Planet, and Resident Evil 5. Unfortunately, Wii owners are bitter and the longer this sort of thing continues it only hurts their sales even more. Not saying the game is gonna bomb, no one knows that, but I won't be buying a copy of this one even though I bought a copy of the last one. How many other people are going to do the same thing? Another thing is the lightgun genre is getting full on the Wii and at some point its just gonna be too crowded.
I think the Wii market in certain areas is hurting, because no company really willing to put any effort into their Wii releases or even try new things. People will only wait so long before they simply give up and that will hurt in the long run.

Capcom have had ample time to do something significant with the RE franchise on Wii, nothing they've shown so far indicates they're going to do something different anytime soon.
I gave UC benefit of the doubt, they were just churning it out to get something out there quickly for Wii, it and RE4 sold awesome, cool, now lets put something 'meaty' on it next.
What do they do next? Another on-rail shooter based on the OTHER past games that weren't in the first one (probably by the sounds of it??).
I want something like Code Veronica, a real game with a real story based on RE4: Wii controls. If they did that I'd be happy, otherwise... ya. Ignore the other old filler on UC and just make a proper game out of the last chapter story, why was that so hard?
Because they doing the HD stuff, I get it I get it.
Doing as little new stuff with as minimal development effort and cost as possible = not making a real effort for Wii fans and sadly (my biggest gripe) wasting time that could have been spent on a potential great game that could play like RE4: Wii.
Ya sure they could make that game eventually, but what they've done so far on the Wii doesn't really show a lot of hope in that regards.
Its fine for people to like UC and be excited over this, but at the same time I'm allowed to be disappointed I'm still not getting a new RE4 style game to play on my Wii controller. ;(

Everyone upset that it's not RE5: Waggle Party have only themselves to blame. Why anyone would think that it wasn't going to be UC2 is beyond me.
Capcom really shot themselves in the foot with the whole, "Wii users are going to be happy"-schtick. They should have just stealth dropped the information so it couldn't be hyped to heaven.
Also, please don't call Capcom. Seriously, that's incredibly stupid.
I liked Umbrella Chronicles okay, but if the rumors of this being dumbed down are true I will be disappointed.
And I 100% agree with whomever suggested a revival of Dino Crisis on the Wii. More like the first and less like the others please!

I'll be happy with a semi-decent port of RE5, if it close in polish to their RE4 Wii port. I thoroughly enjoyed RE4 on the Wii and am looking for more. I was burned by UC, not a terrible game just very Meh. No desire to finish it, sold it for 15 and bought HOD:Overkill.
I want more of the same like I want a hole in my head. And I'm not sure how successful this will be, I think Wii gamers got burned a little with UC and might not be so will to jump at a sequel.
I dont mind if this is just a throw away game, something to fill out the roster. But they damn well better be working on RE5. Dammit.
I guess I'm in the minority because this is exactly what I was hoping it was. I already have a PS3 so I'm covered for mainline REs, and I loved the fuck out of the first Umbrella Chronicles, so I've been wanting a sequel.
Sorry so many people got their feelings hurt. :lol Year of the Capcom continues!

They should use those environments in this next game though...
But I'm sure it would be much better than Dark Side Chronicles... Or maybe not but at least it wouldn't be rail shooter :lol

It has poltergeists and some other odd stuff that doesn't really belong in RE series but I would still take it.

Wikipedia does a really good job here with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil_4#Development
I think they're referring to the third version actually (the Hooked Man Version) as opposed to Devil May Cry or the Fog Version.
Edit: Seems I'm quite beaten.
They started off so well with The RE 4 Wii Edition but they've gone downhill from there, why couldn't they just design a fully fledged RE game and not this gimped lightgun shoot-em-up crap??
Anyway, not like I'm bothered, I'll continue to play Dead Space next-gen, RE 5 and wait for RE 2 remake on 360 to keep me happy
Just seems a shame when there is alot of untapped potential on the Wii, just look at Madworld, No More Heroes, RE 4: Wii. Ah well!

As expected.
Still want a RE 4 Wii Edition like game, but UC wasn't bad at all. If they put in some extra Wesker/Ada etc. scenarios and a whole new one like in the first one, it could work. They should work on the hit zones of the zombies though. Way to hard to make a lot of headshots.

It's a new RE game that will only be available on Wii with unique gameplay. That's the best possible thing that Capcom could've announced.
Anything else wouldn't make sense.

I'm not bothered. I got RE5 coming and this game will my Leon/Claire fix for the meantime.

To be fair, it's a rather vague blog statement and could be another Japanese-style sales pitch that has little actual meaning in practice. Umbrella Chronicles was a result of Capcom thinking Wii users like easiness, but that was actually a game no easier than any other lightgun shooter.
The rest of the scans still aren't out yet. I want to see more screenshots already.

RE4 Wii was a just a port and since Capcom already ported it to every other platform including Mobiles it made sense to release it on Wii too.
A traditional RE with added pointer support would be totally lame. The Wii deserves something more unique than that, that's what most people bought it for. If you want big blockbuster games it's the wrong console for you.
Wii games should be easy to pick up and play while the traditional RE games are intentionally hard to control to keep the tension up.
