Hmm. I really liked Dead Rising-- never got around to finish it 'cause I got stuck on some hella impossible escourt quest or something. I might consider checking it out for the Wii, assuming there's some new stuff thrown in.

I'm suprised that the wii can even run something originaly intended for a real console. I was expecting(and hoping for) a pc port to be honest, with the x360 pretty much being a pc with a growth disorder in the imput part...

You might be interested to know that it can support Spore.

According to IGN its going to be a direct port with scaled back graphics.

I've got a serious lack of faith when it comes to porting over any game to a system which relies on gimmicks. Very rarely is the port over done so well, as to make the game feel like it belongs there. More often then not, it fails at the gimmick so badly, that it's just a constant reminded that the game never belonged there in the first place. Like the Tiger Wood's golfing game that came out shortly after the Wii was released. It promised to be motion sensitive, and it was to a point. But then after that point it was terrible at being motion sensitive and made the game unplayable.

That's not to say Dead Rising can't do it, won't do it, or will fail terribly as well, but that it should be reminded that the gimmick is why many people bought the system and they should do their best to work with that. But by all means try. I want to play Dead Rising enough to make me consider buying the 360. So if I can get it on my Wii, with some fun stick waggling, then I would surely enjoy that much more.

Nintendo seem to focus on Japan a lot more than Europe and America. Microsoft and Sony, on the other hand, are intelligent, so they don't treat the majority of gamers like shit just because of where they live.

Sony cares about America?

Wow. Dead Rising was king, but this?! This is like the king of kings. The Elvis of Gods. The Kurt Russel of elder beings!

EDIT

Its rather a moot point, but does anyone have any idea if it'll be coming to the ps3? My Wii has much more limmited space, and I don't want to fill it if I can get the same added to my Ps3's hard Drive

Bah, that would suck. Surely they'll do something tricky with the Wiimote controls then cos otherwise it will just be a gimped version of the 360 game (which I lurved).

I am so happy. I will smash zeds over the head with my own two hands. And they will know my wrath.

Dead Rising is a tough game, unless you are willing to focus on levelling up Frank rather than playing the missions. The Wii has notoriously squirrely controls. This is not a good combination. It does have the potential to be cool (maybe even Steve McQueen cool, PurpleRain) if the Wii can iron out its issues with registering proper input, but potential is a long way from a final product.

Dead Rising was the shit when i first played it. Now its just criminally boring but a good way to pass the time. I can't even be bothered unlocking the rest of the stuff because after you get the real mega man blaster everything else is pointless.

i think they should make a port to pc instead, i think this is one of those games that could end with some nice mods.

WHAT!??!?! OMFG MICROSOFT YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME! I PUT MY TRUST AND YOU AND THIS IS HOW I AM RE-PAYED?! RAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

But in all seriousness I don't think anyone cares that much.

EDIT: I agree with this man

Dead Rising was a flawed but fantastic game, nice to see it come back.

Imo, Capcom should be working on Dead Rising 2, not porting the original, which is roughly 2 years old, to another console.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I just can't wait until they stop dicking around and make the second. I should send them a love letter. That'll get 'em working out of my hand.

Cool, I hope the game will have all those bugs and glitches that are plaguing the game fixed. Hell the game's mechanics in general need a rehaul, I can't ****ing crouch for God's sake.

Still, this was unexpected, especially this late. Makes me wonder if we'll be getting a (highly moddable) PC version.

If this game ends up Wiimotable then you can guarentee it will have the same issues as Manhunt 2 did with its Wii version.

In over words, over-protective parents who fail to see that its buying the 12 year old kid the 18+ (R) rated game in the first damn place which causes trouble.

And comedy zombie violence is the same as other violence I swear it!

After release I give it a week before some 12 year old's mother sees him doing the disembowel move or using the lawnmower and suddenly Capcom and Nintendo are being sued.

Although...with the Wii's motion controls, moves like disembowel would be kind of fun.

Spore is intended to work on pretty much everything that has buttons on it. Hence why it looks like crap compared to other games available for medium to high end systems.

New details say that they're making the game easier and changing the structure from time to mission based.
It's also been revealed that it will have over the shoulder view and that you WILL NOT be taking any pictures this time around.

I wonder how much easier...?

See link here:http://darkzero.co.uk/game-news/dead-rising-coming-to-wii/ Seems like an odd choice to me, but it's good that the Wii will be getting a real game in the near future. Wonder if the fanboy's will all start crying about how the 360 is doomed because it lost this exclusive etc......

This story reaks suspiciously of bullshit.

I agree, this does seem a little suspicious. But still, I'm sure the Wii would probably implode with that many zombies on-screen at once. It's not exactly a powerhouse when it comes to hardware.....

And Dead Rising had such a HUGE learning curb. I'm the only one of my friends who has actually played it to completion, mostly because I love zombie fiction and there were just so many hilarious ways to destroy the undead.
I dunno, since Nintendo seems to be reaching for a more 'mainstream' audience, Dead Rising does not seem like the type of game to bring them in.

Eh. I won't consider trading in my ps2 and ds just to pawn enough money to get a wii for this game, but still. I think it would be fun to pull of the disembowel move with the wii mote. Expecially if your asshole friend who gimps all of your specials in brawl is standing right in front of your fist when you do it. XP

I dont really see them making a sequel, first off the shopping mall was screwed up so much nothing will ever happen there again and unless the its a new main character then you would think he is stupid to find another zombie infested location

Just to re-iterate.
This has been confirmed and is an adaptation of the original game.

There will be no ticking clock and no camera however.
