No, so far they have shown major support for Xbox 360 (Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Resident Evil 5) and PS3 (Devil May Cry 4, Monster Hunter 3 and Resident Evil 5).
Capcom has close ties with Nintendo, and believed in the Gamecube - Viewtiful Joe and Resident Evil's beginnings on the console makes me certain that Capcom won't leave Nintendo just yet.
A Viewtiful Joe and Megaman game is very likely, but nothing has been announced.
I'm also sure we'll see everything on the virtual console from Cappers.

I don't think so, unless they are going to publish Heroes for Suda like they did with Killer 7. I've been vary dissapointed by their support of the Wii so far. The Xbox 360 is getting Lost Planet, Dead Rising, and Resident Evil 5. The PS3 is getting Resident Evil 5, Devil May Cry 4, and other stuff like that, but they haven't put any support behind the Wii. Ofcourse that could be because they know the Wii is going to be popular. We all know that Capcom is afraid of sucess.

Like most pubs, they're probably uncertain of the Wii's success... but knowing capcom that won't stop them from supporting it.

yeah! I think they are just focusing on 360 right now.

Dreamcast, Gamecube, PSP....
Wii is blessed.
I'm a firm believer in the Capcom Curse, so I'm hoping for no Wii support from them until the platform has already been well-established.
That said, though, Inafune has already stated that he believes that any future Megaman games on consoles will likely be for Wii, since PS3 is squarely aimed at people willing to spend $600 on a console, and thus will be unlikely to be impressed by the franchise without giving it blockbuster graphics.

You forgot the Saturn in there, as well. And, to a lesser extent, the 3DO.jamesinclair said:

The last decade of Capcom shareholder meetings, summarized:
"The Saturn is the system to beat! And by Saturn, we mean Dreamcast. Dreamcast? Haha, just kidding: GameCube is where it's at! By which of course we mean that the PSP is the future of gaming. Okay, maybe we don't know what the future is, but it's definitely not Wii. Wait: what happened at E3? Oh, god fucking damn it."

On WHAT controller?Calidor said:

The classic controller I would assume.
I think Nintendo pretty much has to include the classic controller shell with the system now ... I mean Smash Bros. Brawl is going to be a major title for them, it has to be playable out of the box with 100% of Wii systems IMO.
You can't expect everyone to have had a GameCube before (others may have sold their GameCubes and controllers since).

Were the 10th Anniversary controllers given a run on the Gamecube too? (Although the GC never had AC)soundwave05 said:

Has this been confirmed?
McBacon said:
I'm certain there'll be more Capcom stuff... Inafune said that he thinks that the Wii is likely the best console for the MegaMan franchise, for instance. However, most of the other teams... don't seem like likely candidates for Wii development, overall. And as to Viewtiful Joe, eh, we'll see. Inaba/Clover/Mikami were all big GameCube supporters, but if you read over Inaba's comments about the Wii, he really doesn't seem particularly enthused by the machine. I wouldn't expect much there.

I think Megaman, Okami, and Viewtiful Joe might be franchises that end up Wii-specific in the future.
That would seem to make some sense, Capcom kind of already hinted Megaman would be a good fit for the Wii.

With how Okami sold (and will sell in America), there is no way it becomes a franchise. Unless, of course, they just eat their losses and continue the fellate the hardcore segment. I'd say no way, but it IS possible since it's capcom.
Megaman will be fun on wii. Should they go 3rd person again?

I think the Wii could be a home for a lot of these Capcom franchises that seem to be a bit more fringe/hardcore these days.
Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Powerstone, Megaman, stuff like that. I don't know if Capcom really feels theres a market for these franchises anymore on the PS3/360.

Maybe Capcom is one of the Japanese publishers Iwata said during the E3 conference - that will be showing their games at a later date? Or was that just damage control..

I think Wii is the only platform I would say that a 3rd Person Shooter Megaman would be fine. Just don't remind me of Megaman 64.

Capcom appears to hate Nintendo for some mysterious reason. :lol

Not really if Nintendo are going after the 'non-gamer' Nintendogs/Brain Training crowd. How the 'eck is one of those types of new gamers going to cope with Viewtiful Joe?

Well, most of the Gamecube games sold better than their PS2 games. Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Killer 7, Resident Evil 4?.
I think Sega and Nintendo will be best friends this generation. Their games appeal to the same markets.

What negative comments has Inaba made about Wii?
Anyway, I'm sure Capcom will announce a couple more Wii games at (or by) E3. Keep in mind that their entire E3 showing this year was rather lackluster, with both RE5 and DMC4 MIA at the show, and it shouldn't be taken as indicative of everything the company has planned.

I don't know if I see the Wii working in the same way as the DS in this sense. The DS can get away with things like Brain Training, English Training, etc. because of the touchscreen/PDA type functionality that's inherint to that.
The Wii is still basically a game machine, all the controller really is doing is making it an easier device for a person to pick up and play.
I think it's more like the original idea behind the Famicom, rebooted.

Some of their games appeal to the same market, afterall Sega have a pretty broad range of styles. Broader than Nintendo's? I'd say so. Certainly SMB/Sonic cross over very nicely with Nintendo's market. Virtua Tennis would be another probable candidate but it might end up overshadowed by Wii Sports/Mario Tennis. Stylistically Skies of Arcadia could also be a fit, but the GC audience didn't really take to SoAL, but that was a port which sort of muddies the water a bit. Then again you look at what happened with Tales of Symphonia, and it's not inconceivable that the same could happen to a Wii SoA. Sega should trade exclusivity with Nintendo for the big N's help in pushing the game in the West.
Overall while I imagine that the majority of Sega's support will go PS3/360 (with a lot of multiplatform), the Wii will get decent, but more importantly, unique support, very few ports, lots of original projects.

I don't think anyone would suggest Devil May Cry and Onimusha would be better off on the Wii over the PS3.
I think companies like Sega and Capcom need to be a lot smarter in how they handle their franchises.
