That is a good thing.

damn graphics, you ruin everything

@DigitalHero:
Agreed. They'd have to sacrifice a lot to put it on the Wii, to the point at which it wouldn't even feel like DMC anymore.

Besides, it's already sold 2 million copies...it's not like it really needs MORE to be a success.

Was someone expecting it?

@DigitalHero: I second that.

I think there's some truth to that statement since I don't think a motion-controlled DMC game would be nearly as good as it's controller counter-parts. Not all games lend themselves well to motion controls.

a wii version would mean waggling the wiimote at certain intervals ....... and the game would be on rails.....
(before I hear the hate, I'm a nintendo fan)

I like seeing developers who won't whore out their stuff to protect the integrity of their own work.

I wouldin't want one anyways, DMC was born on the Playstation, that's where it should stay. (oh and the 360...fucking corporate whores.)

Thanks. I'm surprise he didn't say "it's possible"

@Diamondblade: Just because a game started on a specific platform doesn't dictate that said game should stay exclusively on said platform. That's about one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

@Diamondblade:

Yeah, screw those bastards for daring to bring the game to a larger audience of gamers and fans.

How dare they accommodate the customers like some kind of legitimate business.

They could probably port it with scaled down graphics if they wanted to, and it would still be the same game more or less. Still, I'm glad that they won't. The world really doesn't need a Wii port of DMC4.

If it was made, it would be the worst port ever. You try putting those controls on a Wiimote.

Capcom is already showing the Wii plenty of love, I don't think down porting games made specifically for the HD systems is really necessary. I think Capcom is one company that does plenty to please everybody.

I agree that the graphics and traditional controls of the game would not be ideal for turning into a Wii port.

I personally am not interested in the DMC franchise, but I would like Capcom to make a new hardcore game for the Wii. Anyway, the Wii doesn't need DMC when it has No More Heroes in my opinion.

I can already see the control scheme:
Waggle forwards for Devil Bringer
Waggle side to side for Close range weapon
"B" to shoot gun
"C" for Devil Trigger
and a whole bunch of cumbersome Wii controls
(Sorry i just dont like them but thats my HONEST opinion)

as much as i would like this to happen, and as much as i disagree to his thoughts on the controls not lending themselves
well, that's really all i have to say, if they tried hard enough i think they could put out a great dmc game for the wii, but now it's clear that its not gonna happen

Why is it always, can't be done, sacrifice too much when it comes to talk about making a Wii game, look at Ninja Gaiden for the DS, wow a Ninja Gaiden game that looks and plays awsome and it is for the DS!, D... fucking S! So, yes it can be done, just not by these guys it seems.

I can has Resident Evil 5?

I'd rather have a Capcom game built from the ground up on Wii anyway instead of another port

@Irenicus-the one and only: i prefer them working on devil may cry 5

@Irenicus-the one and only:
I don't think the development skill of the DMC team is really being called into question here, man. DMC4, if ported, would play horribly on the Wii. The game would not be the same title at all.

Now, were they to make a Wii-specific DMC title, that'd be a little easier to swallow, but I still probably wouldn't support it because DMC + motion controls seems to me to be a combination as unthinkable as Halo games + good storytelling. Some things work, some things don't. That's just how it goes.

Im beginning to think that Wii fanboys are the biggest WISHFUL THINKERS out there :P

@Diamondblade:
final fantasy should have stayed on nintendo consoles then not playstation.mgs should have stayed on pcs(msx was really just a pc) not moved to nes then ps.

oh an interesting note msx was led by ms or M$ as the cool kids say, so technically mgs should come to the 360 O_O!

on topic:how would the waggle even work though if they did do it.im sure campcom has a minigame compilation featuring dante and nero though for the wii.much love wii fans, much love =)

@Warik: Haha, yeah, I know!

What?! Wii owners were asking for a port for Devil May Cry 4?

@Archaotic: "DMC + motion controls seems to me to be a combination as unthinkable as Halo games + good storytelling"
best comment ever

Of course the wii cant handle devil may cry 4.

The day a wii can play devil may cry f4 is the day my TI-86 calculator can play Gears of War.

Who was asking for it?

@BigDuo: amen to the no more heroes comment.

I can not believe Nintendo fan boys are this stupid to ask...wait a minute , they own a Wii..oh ok, guese they are :/

@symphony_of_the_night: Thats cool, that doesn't mean they can't make a DMC4 for the Wii or someone else. But my point is, no one can say it "can't" be done, maybe not by these guys (we can't be good at everything in life,) but it CAN be done. DMC wasn't always on a 360 and ps3.

@Archaotic: All games ain't played or should be played with motion controls on the Wii, you might not know this, but there is a classic controler and a gamecube one etc. Also, I was not talking about a straight port no, and if it was a port I still think they could make it entertaining enough and good looking (maybe not as good) to be a huge success on the Wii. But a Wii made DMC4 from the ground up would of course be better.

Great pun at halo+story, I loved the first halo and hated the second and the novels lol

Anyway, don't tell me it can't be done, some fanboys keep saying that and I'm sick of hearing it, because I know it is a bunch of BS.

@LeLoi: Can you blame them/us? Rather people hate games and say they are shit because they can't play them on "their" console?

Hell, I'd rather play an imaginary DMC4 on nothing, than seeing it played on the Wii.

I like these "couldn't handle it" posts.
Because DMCs 1-3 weren't any fun, even when they originally came out, because they only had PS2-level graphics.

@Diamondblade:
Well Metal Gear didn't start on the Playstation...

@burningranger01: So Wii owners are stupid? thanks man. Lets hope all Wii owners from now on flame and trash every game they like that is not on the Wii, like some of you ;)

...

*sigh

...

Thats fine, I could think of a ton of other games I'd rather play anyway.

Besides I hate to break it to him but I think the DMC series rivals Final Fantasy in pretentiousness. Im actually shocked after the total Fuck YOU ending of the first one people actually kept playing, since DMC 1 and 2 where basically one whole game split in 2 to make players pay out 100 bucks for a 50 dollar game. And even at that the difficulty that made the first one good was removed for 2 because too many people bitched... so in the end both games suffered.

@IntelSilver: @Torgen Exactly! I guess we can expect stupid flames about the Wii and the Wii owners for as long as it is the most popular console eh? *sigh fun 10years ahead from today now ;)

I'm pretty sure I would have better luck bashing my head against a wall then getting involved in any nintendo related debate.

The time and expense needed to port DMC4 to the Wii isn't feasible in the slightest. You'd have to practically rebuild the game from the ground up to utilize the Wii's limited graphical capabilities and rework many of DMC's standard controller oriented moves to accommodate the Wiimotes unique method of operation. Too much time and energy expended on a frivolous port when you could be doing something new.

A Wii-centric DMC from scratch sure, but a DMC4 port? Be reasonable. Though it would be fun to thrust the Wii remote like a made man to perform Stinger or Million Stab.

Wii's getting Monster Hunter 3.
I'll let this one slide.

@Falconfire: Shenmue did the same, and I was fine with that, but not fine about the third never showing up /cries

@half-beast: Im so afraid at how that is going to turn out. :x

@Torgen:
It's not the same thing. Just because Super Mario was good on the NES doesn't mean i want those kinds of graphics on my PS3/360 now. Our expectations are always getting higher over the years.

@Irenicus-the one and only:
They should have seen this shit coming.not all wii owners btw, just those who really THOUGHT! there get there beer, drinking boy demographic games on a playschool system with a sega fishing rod attached to it.:/

time to play some COD :3

Okay, forgive me if someone else has already repeated this but...

So basically what these developers are saying, despite the fact that Devil May Cry originated on PS2 and supported two sequels, Wii can't support Devil May Cry. It's times like these when I shake my head at the ridiculous comments of these people. First of all, Wii doesn't have to support motion control for every game so the idea that the controls wouldn't translate is total bullshit. The Classic controller could easily support DMC4 control scheme. Four face buttons 4 shoulder buttons, two analog sticks and a d-pad. Did I miss something? Of course the game wouldn't look as good as the PS3 or 360 version but these developers talk as if they've been making games in HD with the current resources for the last 10 years. Give me a break. Capcom won't make DMC4 for Wii because they don't want to. Period. If PS2 can support God of War and God of War 2 and is still better than DMC4 then there is no damn reason why a Devil May Cry couldn't be made for Wii.

Maybe Tecmo can step up to the plate and make a Ninja Gaiden for Wii since Capcom has no balls. Ninja Gaiden for DS looks awesome and it's a day one purchase for me. When was the last time Capcom made a great game for DS or Wii that wasn't rehash, minigame bruhaha, or yet another Megaman Battle Network 42 Ultra Future Fighter in 2112 co-starring your mom?

@burningranger01: someone get this man a paramedic; it seems he had a stroke mid-comment

@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: the last time was zack and wiki. and no one bought it.

@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: Itagaki likes X360 too much to make a Wii Ninja Gaiden. Also, Zack and Wiki? I assume you think the REs so far are rehashes, since you had to ask.

@burningranger01: "just those who really THOUGHT?", what the hell does that mean?

Is anyone really surprised by this announcement? You can scale a game all you like but at a certain point, it just isn't realistic.
