Capcom has “good stuff” coming to Wii U

The Big Cheese.

Nintendo’s Wii U will be launching sometime this Holiday season. And what many fans of both Resident Evil and the Big N are wondering is if Capcom will be bringing their survival horror series to the new platform. Well, judging by this latest comment from Capcom’s VP Christian Svensson and taking both companies’ good relationship into account, it’s quite likely.

In a thread on Capcom-Unity’s forums concerning Capcom’s plans for the Wii U, Svensson stated the following:

“Some good stuff is coming and I’d love to tell you more… but for now, I have to keep it a surprise. Sorry.”

I wonder what this “good stuff” could be. You may recall that months ago, back in March, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries Bio-Ops was leaked in a listing of launch window titles for the Wii U. It continues to be just a rumor, but it wouldn’t be farfetched for Capcom to test the waters on Wii U by releasing a Mercs-type game first, before giving the platform a full-fledged main entry in the series (or a remake, perhaps?).

But what about Resident Evil 6? Could a port be heading to Wii U? Well, Capcom has already gone on record stating that they don’t have a Wii U port of the game planned at the moment. However, we all know the series’ porting history, so it’s possibly only a matter of time before the next numbered entry makes its way to Wii U.

What do you guys think? Could this surprise be a new Resident Evil game? Sound off in the comments section below!

      why is it not likely? 0,1,2,3,CVx,4, and revelations are all on nintendo. only main enty not on nintendo so fa is re5 because of the wii’s graphical difference, but even that could be ported or added in with re6 for the WiiU edition

    I seriously wouldn’t doubt an RE6 port on WiiU eventually. Capcom has released their RE games so many times and on multiple Nintendo platforms. Even if the majority were shoddy ports. Either way I’m getting it for 360, so doesn’t matter to me :P

    How about a port of Resident Evil Revelations? My eyes aren’t good enough for prolonged use with portable consoles, so a Wii U port would be great! All the stuff done on the second 3DS screen could presumably be done on the controller’s touch-screen.

      I’m guessing that’s how the virtual console is gonna work. Maybe 3DS games you own will be playable on the Wii U.

    like i said RE4 is great on the wii the motion controls really work made the gameplay better. i hope we could see hd RE1 remake and Zero that be great.

    You want more?
    Capcom being the greedy bitch it is, will port RE 5 with motion controls to Wii U as well for RE 6.
    Just wait and see.
