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......

I didn't think a lot of people liked this game... such a huge learning curve and so hard to get into, the majority of people who would fall into "fanboy" category probably never bothered to play this game more than a couple of minutes...

What a great game, though, totally underrated... so much fun to be had in that mall :)

Kinda weird it took them this long to port it over to the Wii, although I suppose you really gotta use that motion controller and he has SO MANY motions... Would actually be an interesting game to play on the Wii, I think... a lot of fun movements and swinging of the axes and plopping masks on zombies and such...

well there goes my reason to get a 360 now, that was the only game that i would get a 360 for

guess i got more reasons to get a wii now

Good for them. I imagine wielding the weapons with the Wiimote is pretty fun.

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

Pfft, like they'll do a sequel when there's Resident Evil 4.1 (AKA Resident Evil 5) to finish and Resident Evil 4.2 (AKA Resident Evil 6) to begin.

Haven't you learned? Fanboys never say anything negative about their own console!

Besides, Xbox 360 fanboys generally only fight PS3 fanboys.

It's because Xbox 360 and PS3 have roughly the same target audience, and share a lot of games.

wreid isnt? i mean considering the power of te wii...

There is no way in the world the Wii could run Dead Rising as we know it... is there?

I'm thinking Dead Rising - The Rail Shooter.
Just remember I fucking called it.

I'm probably wrong though - Capcoms Wii efforts have been pretty smart so far.

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.

Knowing this, many developers keep games off the Wii because they know they'll sell sod all outside of Japan.

Or at least, that's how I understand it.

Gee, really? I didn't realise.

Whether or not your analysis is true, "not-intelligent" Nintendo has been winning the sales race all over the world to this point..

Of course I live in Japan, so best of both worlds ^^

This story reaks suspiciously of bullshit.

I'm pretty sure this "exclusive" stopped selling XBoxes a long time ago. I hope its good though... maybe they'll fix some of the frustrating bugs and glitches from the XBox version.

Huh. I wonder what brought this on? I mean, this doesn't seem the logical choice, to bring a game about murderous zombies onto the system seen as the kiddie system, or one with a steep difficulty curve onto the platform for casuals.

Just because it has a lot of kiddy/casual games, doesn't mean it has no mature games at all.

*cough* Really? Resident Evil? Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem on the GameCube? That new one on the DS that I can't remember the name of? Nintendo has had quite a few survival horror games over the years... and Dead Rising is way less scary and more... goofy than any of those.

I loved this game, despite all of its faults

So I'm glad that this game may find a new audience to love it.

Good for you, Dead Rising.

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...

I might get this aslong as they get rid of the tiny writing that ruined the 360 version.

I object to the implication that the Wii isn't a real console and I don't even own one (360 fuck yeah). Would you care to explain why the Wii is any less of a console than the other 2?

Sony cares about America?

I don't know where you are buddy, but I believe SCEA is set in America.

Though this does smell of bullshit, it will still give me a reason to turn on my Wii and not myself.

It could be good if they fix some issues I had with the original (mainly that guy who kept calling me every 2 seconds to say things I couldn't read without taping my TV to my eyes). Hope they don't go with a classic control system.

Japan is so overrated, everyone says how great their shit is but no one realizes that Japan probably hates your non Japanese guts

IF they do it right. I'm dearly trying not to get too excited, but the Wii has such potential for Dead rising... bowl the bowling ball, swing the baseball bat. If they can manage to get the proper movement for each item it'll make the whole game so much cooler.

Although, being a 360 fanboy ( \o/ ), apparently I can't look forward to it. I don't even have a Wii, I'll have to invade mate's to play it. This is the second thread with 360-fan paranoia I've seen recently...

I'm hoping it's a little easier to aim a gun in this port since last time it was frustratingly hard. Shouldn't be that difficult to do with the wii's motion sensing device.

the game was bad on 360 and will be worse on wii. it was a great idea, but horribly executed

I might consider giving the game another chance so long as the Wii version will have new content and that Capcom seriously reconsiders the save system in the game. The system the game has now is horrible, plain and simple. Multiple save slots are a must.
