Who says online petitions don't work? In the latest Bionic Commando podcast, producer Ben Judd says Capcom is considering releasing a Wii version of the revived Bionic Commando series, currently tapped to arrive on PS3 and Xbox 360.
Responding to a question asking whether Capcom had seen an online petition for a Wii version, Judd said, "Yes, we have taken notice. We're very happy about that.
"All I can say right now is that we're certainly thinking about it. If there is going to be a Wii version that comes out, rest assured it's not going to be something that's announced tomorrow or in a week.
"I mean, even if we were to start planning it, let's say, tomorrow, you wouldn't see anything for a year, or whatever. So, if you do have your hopes pinned on that, I would say 'Keep pinging us about that point,' and expect something like that, if we decided to go down that path, in about a year or more. So please be patient."
You heard the man, folks. If you want to see the game appear on the Wii, simply go along to the petition, sign it and thank the glorious internet for living up to its promise for once. Or wait for the announcement tomorrow.
I don't see the point. They will have to go back and make a new version based on a new engine just for Wii, a console full of casual gamers who rarely buy a game. At the end of the day, if you want to play proper next-gen games, buy a 360 or PS3 to go alongside your Wii.
The point is profit. These companies aren't in the business to fuel fanboy wars.
Simply put, the Wii is a hot seller, and any good games out for it will be snatched up. Capcom has already had success with the system, bringing RE4 and RE Umbrella Chronicles to it.
This is why they chose to bring Okami to the system, and potentially will bring RE 5 and Bionic Commando to it as well. Money makes the world go around.
Seriously tho, stop being such a hater, just be happy with what games come to whatever system you own and quit the negativity towards systems you dont own. There's a lot more Wii software sales out there than there are on the PS3, for example. So your point about people not buying games for it either A - is unfounded, or B - proves that hardcore fans on the PS3 dont buy games either.
Besides, I already have a high end computer to play those few games that don't come out for the Wii.
