[Wii] Mario Rising

Oh u Capcom, where's my Dead Rising 2!

Dead Rising is one of the best games ever made, but only on the 360 (or PS3). There's no way it'll work on the Wii, unless it does, in which case it... does. But, I can't see it working, is what I'm sayin'.

Just... I just hope that this means Dead Rising 2 is being made.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wow, I guess... I guess I wasn't clear enough for you? Let me explain myself a little.

Yay I'm a troll! Nobody's called me that before here, it's like a rite of passage!

Anyway, the 360 and the PS3 are practically the same system to me. Therefore, there's no reason I can think of a straight port wouldn't work.

The Wii on the other hand is a significantly different system. Not just because of the system specs which are in a completely different field, but even moreso because of the controller. I thought that was all pretty obvious, but I guess I was counting on some understanding on the part of the reader.

Just like a port of, say, Zack & Wiki would (in principle) be silly on the 360, the same goes for this. This is how I see it.

Reading is hard!

I have several reasons to think it won't work out. I don't think the Wii can handle having a shitbunch of zombies at once, which is one of the main appeals of the game. Hell, the 360 couldn't handle it half the time. I also don't think that Wiimote-based controls will be effective for this game. But I would love to be proven wrong on this. After all, I own a Wii and would love to buy Dead Rising (which is possibly my favorite game of this generation) for it.

But not if it's a shadow of its former self, you know? Which I fear it could be.

There, happy?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well yeah, you could always use the classic controller or plug in a Gamecube controller or whatever, but... I don't see the point in the port in the first place in that case. With Resident Evil 4, I could really get into the idea of using the Wiimote. I haven't actually played it so I don't know how this works out, but I considered RE4 to be basically House of the Dead sans rails. So using an aiming device makes sense to me. RE5 would make sense to me as well, if it has the same gameplay (probably does).

Dead Rising though? I don't know. Maybe I'm being too skeptical since there's no footage or anything, but to me it makes no sense to do this.

Then again, as long as the game is ported properly, at least it will mean people who own the Wii and no 360 can play it. That's always a good thing, since it's a brilliant game. MOAR ZOMBIES etc.

They took out all the things that made the game unique. I know people complained about it, but I actually loved the timer and the hardcore death stuff, it made the game much more intense than most games where you can just die over and over and it doesn't matter, or just fuck about without caring about time or anything. Dead Rising's system brought a sense of urgency with it that was unrivaled in any game I'd ever played before.

As for the photo taking thing, it wasn't the most important element of the game but it was really fun. Taking that out doesn't really make sense to me--why not just go into first person mode temporarily like in the 360 game?

I don't really care about the graphics. The 360 game wasn't exactly gorgeous either, and it'll look much better in motion. It's more about whether the Wii can handle the masses of zombies on-screen, which you can't tell from screenshots.

Anyway I hope that if they do make a Dead Rising 2 on 360, they won't leave out the timer and death stuff, cause that really made the game a lot better for me.
