I'm sure it's foremost in their minds to take care of the 500-1000 people that would import the game either way.

THIS. Even the most highly imported games (like Ouendan on the DS) don't sell more than a few thousand copies outside of Japan.

If you are not living in Japan, you are NOT the target audience for this game. And Capcom doesn't care if you can't play it. I am positive the region-free thing has never come up at one of their board meetings. It would never be a bullet point in their power point. From a sales perspective, you do not matter.

Totally hardcore import gamers already know how to get this running on their non-Japanese Wii. The only ones who will be missing out are this tiny, tiny group of "Casual Import Gamers" who also happen to be big fans of vintage anime.

There must be... dozens.. of them.

But perhaps if people whine enough Capcom will realize the potential Tens of Hundreds of dollars they could be making from that demographic.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I hope (probably in vain) that we'll see a stateside release for this.

Wow, this and Monster Hunter in one day.

 

[Flakster99]

Excellent news, Capcom!

Sven, port this baby to US markets, and beers are on me. I know a good bar, or two.

I wish we could ban people who whine about games not being on their consoles.

Seriously. From all sides. Enough already.

 

[rollingstart]

I will be importing this for sure.

STOP FUCKING WHINING


Looking at this thread there is no excuse. Maybe with other games you could come up with an excuse as to why it shouldn't be on Wii, but this is developed on Wii-Based arcade hardware, supports traditional controls, and there is an easy importing solution.

I like to be lenient but not for this. RE5? Sure. MHWii even? Sure. Dead Rising Wii? Sure.

But the people in this thread are whining because it is on a system they dislike and are trying to make excuses for not wanting to buy it, simple as that.

The same ones who tout "oh if you want RE5/DMC/FF13 then suck it up and buy the system its designed for" need to take a little of their own advice.

It's on the Wii, the majority of you have one "THE WII SUX! DONT CALL ME A FANBOY THOUGH CAUSE I HAVE ONE", and if you all hate it so much then the minimal risk of installing Gecko-OS shouldn't be any sort of hassle.

There is no fucking excuse this time.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Didn't realize it was so simple to play import stuff. -_-

This needs to be brought stateside so I don't have to jump through hoops. If not, for the love of god swap them with marvel characters. I want to haydouken spiderman for the shitty films he has been in as of recent.

Also, I would assume they are going to have more than just wiimote controls. Playing Accent Core with it nets you plenty of L's against people competent with the dpad.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

god, yes

yes, god, yes

Yattaman. FINALLY, FINALLY YATTAMAN YES YES

AND IT LOKS GREAT

 

[PolyGone]

IMO it looks better than SF4, at least stylistically. It may not have all the effects or be as high res but goddamn those screens look awesome!

Capcom to release Capcom-brand Wii Arcade sticks? *drool*

 

[Regulus Tera]

Capcom to release Capcom-brand Wii Arcade sticks? *drool*

Best. Idea. Ever.

 

[rollingstart]

I don't see Capcom releasing arcade sticks for it on the Wii. SF4 really is a much bigger deal to them and they are able to release it in the states, so that gives them more reason to go through with it.

Wii already has a decent enough group of Arcade sticks.

 

[lebowsky]

Wow, I just read through this entire thread and the only useful information was about installing the HBC and running Gecko OS. Thanks to whoever posted that.

 

[TunaLover]

please Sven bring this sucker at NA, I'm rooting for you sir

 

[jrricky]

I wish we could ban people who whine about games not being on their consoles.

I could have sworn it was a bannable offense.

I'm not going to do it, but a good expirement would be to see how many people here bitching participated in the original Tatsunoko vs. Capcom thread.

 

[Tenbatsu]

I wish we could ban people who whine about games not being on their consoles.

Yes, there should be a new rule on this.

 

[En-ou]

wow so many whiny mcbitches in here. go turn on your HD system and play with the video settings...this thread isnt for ya.

[KevinCow]

I wish we could ban people who whine about games not being on their consoles.

Wasn't that supposed to be a new thing a few weeks ago? What happened to that?

 

[flipping_heck]

this thread has convinced me to look for twilight princess or look for a freeloader type of option...

Im not a fan of Tatsunoko (in fact, the only thing i can relate to with them is Karas), but its a fighting game, and i must play my fighters!!

 

[Igo]

Oh my lord it looks like i'll be buying a Wii. That trailer was astonishing.

 

[Tenbatsu]

And all those whiners, be prepare to see more arcade fighters using Wii compatible board!!:lol

[CreatureX3]

Awesome f'n news!

Also ROTFLMAO at the people in this thread who still can't handle Wii domination! :lol

 

[Jamesfrom818]

Time to buy a Japanese Wii. Any LA gaffers know if Hyper Game on Sawtelle sells imported Wiis?

 

[Deleted member 284]

I was originally hoping for PS3, but Wii will do just fine. Time to setup Gecko OS and be done with it.

 

[Zombie James]

I wish we could ban people who whine about games not being on their consoles.

Did you see the RE5 discussion in the last NPD thread? It was nuts.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Did you see the RE5 discussion in the last NPD thread? It was nuts.

To say nothing of virtually *every* SFIV discussion.

 

[jj984jj]

I told you all it'll never come out here when the original arcade game was revealed. :lol

...

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Holy Crap @ all the meltdowns

:lol

 

[borghe]

ok, plain and simple, with just twilight hack and an sd card, is there an easy way to freeload? hbc and gecko loader? will totally import this game if I don't have to actually chip my wii.

 

[xero273]

geckoOS is what you need to import the game.

 

[Teknoman]

I'm not a troll. I know what I'm saying. The Wii port will support waggle controls, but also will support arcade stick, and won't look exactly like the arcade version. It (the arcade version) plays like Marvel vs Capcom 2 (2D fighter), even it uses 3D visuals. It's 2.5D, like Street Fighter IV.

Wasnt the game built on a "wii based" arcade board? I remember reading that earlier. Also what does the description of the arcade game have to do with anything?

geckoOS is what you need to import the game.

Well worse case scenario, i'll be looking into that. Still really want the game to be ported over here with english menus at least. They could leave it a half-job like Sin and Punishment VC version.

 

[MarkMan]

Time to buy a Japanese Wii. Any LA gaffers know if Hyper Game on Sawtelle sells imported Wiis?

yes, they do. Japan Video Games also sells em' !

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Yeah. Look for tutorials on Something Awful or Wii Homebrew Wikias.

You'll probably do more work ordering the game than you will installing Gecko OS.

 

[LiK]

guh, Wii??? i wanna play this in HD and have online dammit...

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I enjoy the people who say it will be downgraded from the arcade version.

They come out at the same time.

How much downgrading do you really think they'll do?

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

guh, Wii??? i wanna play this in HD and have online dammit...

Then wait for the inevitable port to another system. Should only take about a year, SFIV sales willing.

 

[Antdogg355]

I already got my Wii and TP. All I need is an arcade stick and I will be set!

 

[Zombie James]

guh, Wii??? i wanna play this in HD and have online dammit...

This Wii version isn't going to have online?

 

[Teknoman]

guh, Wii??? i wanna play this in HD and have online dammit...

Settle for 480p and online.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Ow my head.

 

[SlaughterX]

So how could making this game multiplatform be a bad thing again?

 

[yoopoo]

WTF is a Tatsunoko?

 

[LiK]

This Wii version isn't going to have online?

Settle for 480p and online.

let's not kid ourselves. two words: friend codes ;_;

YEs how coud making RE5 for wii be a bad thing again, after all best controls of RE4 are on wii...bla bla bla.......see? it was easy......

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

So how could making this game multiplatform be a bad thing again?

How could making a port of SFIV on the Wii be a bad thing again? How could making MGS4 multiplatform be a bad thing again? How could making Diablo 3 multiplatform be a bad thing again? How could making Gears of War 2 multiplatform be a bad thing again?

The answer to all of these questions is 'it wouldn't be'. But the reality is, at the moment, it isn't. Which means it comes down to the question of "How bad do you want it?" Do you want it bad enough to buy a Wii? Or are you willing to hedge your bets and wait to see if it comes out on another system sometime soon? Or do you simply not care at all?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

So how could making this game multiplatform be a bad thing again?

From Capcom's perspective? It would just be wasted money. PS3 or 360 versions wouldn't sell enough to warrant the costs of porting them in Japan. If the game had international appeal, which it doesn't, the HD consoles would more than likely get versions of the game. But considering the hardware had the game basically tailor-made for the Wii, the costs of labor alone to get it to other systems would be very nontrivial.

For gamers? I guess it wouldn't be bad. Hell, make every game available on every platform! But that's not going to happen from a business perspective because it's the most retarded plan ever.

 

[SlaughterX]

YEs how coud making RE5 for wii be a bad thing again, after all best controls of RE4 are on wii...bla bla bla.......see? it was easy......

It would be a bad thing because theyw ould have to sacrifice so much it wouldn't still be the same game. A 360/PS3 version of this game has nowhere to go but up. Try again please.
