Capcom: “Gamers Have Left The Wii”

This has nothing to do with nintendo or the Wii, all these developers have jumped onto the Wii for easy money. I'm sick of on the rail shooters, OVERKILL is easily the best so far.

Capcom is becoming just as pathetic as Square enix, seriously though, the Wii is graphically the weakest console this gen, but so was the PS2 and that didn't stop it from being the best selling console ever.

RE5 was just as cash in with an improved RE4 engine, there wasn't really anything new, I can't say I liked RE5, but that's just me.

Maybe it's just me but I hate hardcore gamers who whine and bitch about casual gamers, a lot more than I get annoyed at casual gamers who complain about a game being to hard.

RE4 was the best game from capcom I have ever played so far, but it's gone way downhill since then, hopefully that will change when monster hunter tri comes out.

The amount of "hardcore" ego masturbation in these comments is astounding.

I, for one, am perfectly content with just regular masturbation.

I have a wii and I left that behind for the PS3!
The wii only has all these wight loss games and amily games.
It's sucks!
Now I only use it to play gamecube games.

Enjoy your port.

I didn't buy the second railgun RE game because Umbrella was so boring. It's the same way I'll never buy another Starfox game again after the last 3 games, which I liken to getting abused by the same rapist continually. I want RE5 on the Wii! I want so badly to kill those particular zombies with a Wii remote!

And this is coming from the guys who have developed one of the best selling (hardcore) games in japan (monster hunter tri)

Technically its outdated as hell and so is the 360. So its barely the future. The shitty dev tools don't help either. Consoles are using mid-range 5 year old hardware. Hardcore gamers are are becoming so rare today that people seem to have completely forgot what it meant to be a hardcore gamer. The only thing rarer is actual hardcore games with complexity and intelligence that actually challenge the players wit and skill. Nowa days games have giant fucking arrows telling you where to go, very linear environments, overly-cinematic elements that make the game more fun to watch than to actually play, and no dedicated servers for multiplayer which leaves very little headroom for clans and a massive list of restrictions to the average player. Oh and very, very dull brown graphics with no art direction.

Yea that's why the Wii has a better online service than the 360 or PS3.

They play so well with others.

And what do you define as a "life"? Different people have different hobbies. If their hobbies don't conform with yours, they're no life losers? It's ironic that you call others narcissistic because it seems like you're the narcissist here.

You're judging people based on their hobbies and consider them "inferior" and have no life compared to yourself.

PS3 is for the future and hardcore gamer.THE DEV are just too lazy to dev in ps3 because they are noob.They prefer xbox and wii because of their structure like pc and easy to navigate...what a pussy...gaybox is retard anyway..

I don't know why Capcom is blaming the wii, when their the ones who made the games. Instead of making fuckin' railshooters for wii, why don't they give us another resident evil 4 wii. They need to get their shit together, and give resident evil wii fans a a proper title.

Am I the only one who thinks this Seux guy is full of crap? Sure you can argue that Wii is for a casual market, but quite frankly, it doesn't excuse third parties from making bad games on the first place. Darkside Chronicles sold poorly not because of the Wii, but because the game just sucks its just done so poorly it makes you wonder why they even tried to develop it.

Also he said this on the same interview:
"For us, Capcom, the future is the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360... "This will be a difficult year for the handheld in general, DS or PSP."

LOLWUT!? The DS and PSP are some of the best systems of their respective companies. They generate alot of revenue, and arguably have much better game libraries than the consoles do.

The only Wii games I can think of off the top of my head worth owning are No More Heroes and Mad World.

Actually, the main cause for the 'demise' of the WII is that many of the major developers find it particularly difficult to port. So, they simply don't bother when it is so much easier to stick with the PS3 and XBox 360.

Thus, there is a shortage of really good games for the system and gamers go elsewhere.

By playing Darkside Chronicles, I only found headache, the camera was shaking all the time, how can such a game success? Wii's time's over, that's true, but the failure of Darkside Chronicles is its own problem.

HAHAHA!! Family friendly crapbox. Yeah I have one two, but I only have 15 games & it hasn't been touched since oct. 2009. The Wii sucks balls.

It's sad to see companies insist that there's no market for games on the Wii just because particularly crappy or niche games aren't selling like hotcakes.

Umbrella Chronicles sold well because it's Resident Evil and people wanted to try it. Now that most people realise that it's not a very good game, it's obvious that people aren't going to buy another copy and paste sequel like Dark Side Chronicles.

I don't think I've enjoyed a Capcom game in a very long time. It seems to me that the remnants that make up today's Capcom are just a bunch of nobodies hanging onto their franchises created by the truly creative developers who already left Capcom a long time ago. Perhaps Capcom should try making games in more interesting genres than just rail shooters, and avoid copying and pasting everything from their previous games.

ah so they finally realized the wii sucks? well it's progress... =P

the wii is not for gaming, its for girlie jump-fun
it has the same power as the 10 year old game cube - outraging
I see no improvement to the old mario kart or mario sunshine - of course not, how can there be any with same specs?
its basically a game cube with a fancy controller

I'm bloody telling you...Make some loli/snuff/torture games with your favorite anime characters and I will guarantee that sales will rise...

Then again, we will never see this hit the US of A...

The Wii is made for the kind of people that won't stick with it and will always want something new. That is the reason why they are losing their customers.

The PS2 was so popular since there were games for everyone on it so even if they lost their casual gamers they still have a majority of their customers. In this generation it has been split but I think that is going to go away since the the Wii is starting to fail so all of the casual developers are going to go to the PS3 and Xbox 360 so they will now become like the PS2 was.

if they stopped making rail shooters then it would sell better

And what do you define as a "life"? Different people have different hobbies. If their hobbies don't conform with yours, they're no life losers? It's ironic that you call others narcissistic because it seems like you're the narcissist here.

You're judging people based on their hobbies and consider them "inferior" and have no life compared to yourself.

LOL Narcissist.

lol leons eyes look like cloud's from final fantasy7

the wii is a piece of shit designed for idiots with too much money to spare on a piece of shit...
even the ipod touch is more powerfull than a wii, and it also got better games...

Constantin... *cough* from Sega recently said they're basically done with adult games on Wii after seeing how Dead Space Extraction did.

Personally, I left the Wii because of the lack of multiplayer support. (I don't give a shit about graphics and what-not.) Which should indicate to Nintendo that it either needs GREAT single player games; which have been absent for awhile... or to simply scheme up an addictive multiplayer title. I'll admit that the recent Call of Duty games are worthy examples... but why use the Wii wen you can get a better experience with the same titles on a 360 or PS3?

I'll buy some more Wii games when Nintendo guillotines that dumbshit Reggie for doing all this crap in the first place, and of course after it improves it's line up. Finally, I'm also very curious as to why I'm still content with my DSi... just not the Wii; therefore there's obviously something wrong with the satisfaction grade.

For now, I enjoy Gears of War 2, Modern Warfare(s), and other great QUALITY games on my 360. Screw you Wii.

Wait, isn't Wii more a "family" console what a "gamers" console?

Oh noes! People aren't buying a $50 rail-shooter! What's the world coming to?

But they still made Monster Hunter 3 a Wii only title... retarded.

True hardcore gamers play PC, XBox360, and PS3.

Nope gamers game on consoles, people that play games on PC at all, play nothing else and have no lives at all. They tend to be termed losers more often than not :)

I've never met a person that plays games on a PC show any real interest in anything NOT on a PC.

....The Wii sucks anyway o.o......did it take them this long to figure that out.....the Wii is for nintendo only.....

The interviewed guy bases his commentaries on units sold in France.
However games are very expensive in France and nowadays it's very easy to buy them online from England where they are MUCH cheaper.
I'm french and I buy my games online in England.

Short example: when Street Fighter 4 came out, you had to choose between either buying it in England for 35 € (50$) and waiting 4 days to get it or buying it in France 70€ (100$) and play immediately. Yes, that's half price. No surprise the number of games sold in France decrease...

No shit, Capcom.

I see it as the problem isn't Nintendo its Capcom, those RE:shooter games are ok but lack in alot of everything, they are bulky to use at times and "headshots" often don't work, i've shot a zombie in the head about 5 times before he went down, i thought that was their weakness.
My wife is a big RE fan she has all up to #4 which she didn't like much since zombies werent in there, same goes for #5, can't they call it something else since zombies seem to be on vacation?
call it something like:

Umbrella Strike Force
Resident Evil

That way people will know its resident evil without having to try to sell to fans of the original.

I was all for the Wii when it came out, even queing up at modinight to get my hands on one, I liked the vision of future gaming experiences that Nintendo promised.

Now fast forward to today...

I frikkin hate the console, all we get here in the UK are crappy multi player mini games, beach sports, golf, party games etc, not really pushing the future of gaming are we now???

so I agree "gamers" as in people who like to play something other than a mini game bonanza, those who appreciate good game play, nice story arcs, or just a good ole fashioned shoot em up, playing for more than a few hours a week, are leaving the console in droves, especially when we have 360 and PS3 now, with games aimed at more than the casual gaming experience.

So, sorry Nintendo, just like the abismal DSi, consign the Wii to the atic and get a "real" gaming platform out there............

Only game for the Wii I'm wanting is No More Heroes 2. Everything else, I couldn't care less.

That's what happens when you try to make a casual system.
Casual games on non-casual systems make decent money.
Casual system with crap load of casual games? not so much.

Developers have flaws and Wii has flaws. Nintendo's first-party titles like SSBB, SMG, NSMB, Zelda TP, MPC, SPM (and WiiWare titles too like ExciteBike and Contra Rebirth), still have great quality. Some of the third-party titles like Oboro Muramasa, Deadly Creatures, Disaster Day of the Crisis, Rabbids Go Home, MadWorld (and others) have good and great quality too, but the insane amount of casual shit like Party Babyz and similiar simply outweighs. I'm don't counting multiplatform titles like Okami, and I'm don't counting GameCube titles 'cause it is not fair. In the near future there are titles like SMG2, Sin and Punishment 2 (Treasure!), Metroid Other M, new Zelda that I'm waiting, but amount of such titles is not very big. There are no F-Zero Wii, Starfox Wii, Kirby Wii (and GameCube too, there was very shady project that was developed for GameCube, then changed the platform Wii, and currently there is no news about it, maybe cancelled?). Well, with all it's pluses and minuses, I think current generation of consoles (I'm counting ps3 and x360 too) is worse than previous, more casual shit like CoDMW2, Wii Sports and similiar.

hmm capcom. maybe thats because on rails shooter is a niche market to attack.
most of the good games that are aimed at "serious" gamers on the wii are real niche games.
for example
mad world- good game except its in black and white and a hack n slash kinda game. good luck trying to sell that to the main steam.
resident evil and dead space on rail shooters- well onrail shooters are pretty much a niche genre from the begining. (i myself dont really like on rails shooters)
muramasa- a great game also but its another hack and slash

in my opinion the good games on the wii that didnt sell very well probably would have sold very well on the xbox 360 or ps3 either.
i mean would you buy darkside cronicles on xbox360 if you could get resident evil 5 on the same system. and plus their are a bunch of other games for them to compete with as well.

The only good thing about the wii now is that it keeps the elderly busy with those exercises

oh now they regret having me beloved MH on stupid Wii not PS3... either way... im gonna get a Wii cause a) i love MH b) party games are fun seeing as i have flatmmates c) prepubescent little girls game are fun too... consider urself lucky im gonna waste money on u nintendo, u thief>:(

You guy sure about that? The Wii broke records last month. 3 Million in a Month... I would say that gamers are still there.

Well,maybe the wii could have had better games if there wouldn't be any pirating ffs,and then we have people complaining that wiihasnogaemz,seriously WTF
,maybe if the wii had a love+ version of the game,everyone will make GOTY.

C'mon let's think about it,is it us "HARDCORE GAMES LOL" or the fucking greedy bastards that are lazy to make a good game?

FUCK! I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A PS3.

It's really funny to see the third parties sabotaging the Nintendo Wii by making crapware/shovelware and say no-one buy their games, but only Nintendo's own game.

While Resident Evil 4 Wii version (which was already launched for the Gamecube not along ago at that time!) sold much better than Umbrella Chronicles, Capcom decides not to make another traditional Resident Evil game, but a sequel to Umbrella Chronicle, the Darkside Chronicle, another on-rail shooter with horrible pacing. Tatsunoka vs Capcom is on the right direction, but no-one knows the Tatsunoko character if you are not atleast 30 years old and in the US most of the characters have a different name. It's was better if it's was Marvel vs Capcom 3.

It's just astounding that the best selling console at the moment, the Nintendo Wii, gets even less third party support than its predecessor, Gamecube! The gamecube at least get a normal version of Need for Speed, Madden, Fifa, SSX, NBA Street etc. etc.. It looks like that the third parties want to earn money, but do not want to spend even a penny on the Wii. No marketing at all and no sells, can't they guess why?

And nothing of value was lost.

Well, it would help if Capcom would release good games instead of crap. Street Fighter IV was utter crap. They should have done what SNK did with KOF XII. The only good recent Capcom games (Mega Man 9 and Tatsunoko vs Capcom) are on Wii. I call 360 the weakest as it is mostly redneck games like Call of Duty. Also, it breaks at the drop of a hat.

Wut? I clearly remember typing this into a reply box to comment-401836. If a mod sees this message, could you please move it to be a reply to that comment?

Well when capcom says they're going to make a resident evil game for the wii i would like to expect it would be like resident evil 4, but they been constantly shoving shooters on rails down my throat I don't wanna fucking buy shooting games on rails that's why they get none of my money.

(This might end up an unintentional double post. I got a timeout error the first time I tried posting)

I'm expecting a massive downvote for this, but just give games like Mario Galaxy a fair chance. It sure is cool to say that you think Mario is gay and all, but give it a shot and you'll be impressed at the quality of such games. Then you'll realize that Nintendo itself is one amazing developer. It's alright to say the Wii is going through a meagre lineup of "adult" titles, but it's not going through a meagre lineup of quality titles.

Are you saying cartoonish games are no fun? The Wind Waker has already proved you wrong. Game aren't supposed to be realistic.

Leon and Ashley SD? Still looks good.

Most people buy the Wii for casual games like Wii Sports and NSMB.

well no shit, the wii was never a 'gamers' console

saying that, i love nintendo and everything about it, the wii is very entertaining and fun to play with but a real gamer would buy a pc

The Wii did have some good games though, the earlier releases were promising (Resident Evil 4, Galaxy, Brawl, and others) but now their new games aren't as attention drawing. There targeted age was kids and adults, but most gamers lie between that fine line. These days, those gamers are drawn to the powerful graphics and more indepth stories of games on other consoles.

I play my wii once a year, when I have my annual BBQ and actually have friends over.

:P

To me the problem is that the Wii is more of a toy than a true gamer's console. It would naturally appeal more to casual players and family types, which is what the majority of the Wii was and still is advertised to.

Gamers haven't 'left the Wii'... the more HARDCORE, PIXEL-COUNT caring about people have 'left the Wii' for the XBox360 and PS3.... which, I applaud them for doing.... those are more powerful consoles and more suited for lifelike games instead of 'cartoonish' games.

These quotes come from Capcom of France. FRANCE. France doe snot speak for the whole Capcom organization.

Also, maybe gamers don't want ANOTHER light gun game on Wii, maybe they'd like a REAL Resident Evil.

Why such strong tittle fails? I don't get it...

People normally buy the console if they know a game they like is coming, I would understand the low sales if those where new franchises instead of well knew ones.

Well....maybe it had gotten better slaes IF THEY HAD MADE A TRADITIONAL, FREE-ROAMING RESIDENT EVIL GAME!

I dunno, like RE4 or even older Resident Evil games. But noooooo, theey had to release a cheap cash-in for the Wii, just like many other companies.

Fuck this game.

They release an on-rails game with a quality nowhere near as good as traditional resident evils, and now they are surprised noone bought it?

Capcom, you silly guys.

Eh, their Wii gamers are probably in the hospital still in shoulder and arm slings with casts on for injuries from playing the Wii. Just give them time they will be back.

here's a thought Nintendo STOP FUCKING ALOWING PARTY GAMES!!!!!!
