Look at it his way PS3 control has 14 buttons on it and sixaxis which isn't used. (I was hoping not to post on kotaku)
The Wii control has 10 buttons also between Wiimote + Nunchuk hell the classic controller has 14 buttons on it also.

The only difference is where you have that gimicky right analog stick versus the gimicky motion controls.

I'd honestly want to see this game on the Wii, not because I don't own another system or that I'm a wii fanboy (I own a ps3) but because I'd like to see what they could do with it, but to me this is like:
"I'm sorry, we just dont have the vision to do this."

And oh come on! This entire push about the graphics are way too high ont he ps3, its not graphics that seperate these softwares numb nuts its the apps the software calls from.

If you know anything about tech like you ps3 and xbox fanboys are claiming then you should know about the Wii's DRM being the same thing but better than the ps3's version, but it uses its DRM in it's GPU, the PS3 uses less and XBOX 360 applies it to everything, However the Wii's version gives it a much higher system bandwidth then the other 2 competitors plus most PC's. (When it comes to memory storage for video play back and cache'd imaged the GPU is what matters, with speed like that, theirs no reason it can't display in 1080p at 60 fps.

Get over it, you don't know what your talking about so stop, a least say, "I think", or "I believe" before you make some ludacris comment about, "OH the GFX is insane on rendering the insane ftw lines per insane second so I don't know what I just said but NO graphics = suck."

The hardest system to design for graphically right now is the Wii, because traditionally you'd use some kind of buffer but now the buffer is energy in transit so how do you track it, Thats why its hard, because its too abstract.

But its more than do able in Nintendo would finally share their 1st part intelligence.

3rd party Wii games are suspect overall at best because

a) you have "B" and "C" teams working on Wii while the "A" teams -top tier teams are working on 360 and PS3

b) these same benchwarmers have little to no experience on Wii.

What happens if you get a top tier dev team to work on Wii? Give them a real project that's not a minigame compilation or a direct port with a marketing and development budget that's worth a damn. Why couldn't that game be a great game. Not just a great game on Wii...but a great game period. Also, you do realize that the Wiimote IS your second control stick. Works great in Zelda, Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, SSX Blur. Call of Duty 3 and Metal of Honor 2:Heros (even though that game is glitchy to high hell)

Never underestimate the power of corporate greed. Especially whenever Capcom is concerned.

Also, I don't agree with your DS assessment either. Metroid Prime Hunters delivered one of the most robust online experiences for a portable. It offered features you normally get in Live with full stat tracking, friends list, Rivals list, promotions, voice chat and text chat. It also provided a control scheme that's more accurate than dual analog and one of the best 3D engines on DS.

I played the NInja Gaiden demo for two days. Dude, That game is what Itagaki said it was. It's a Ninja Gaiden that flows as good as any modern day Ninja GAiden on the market today. I was amazed that the combos were there, the grabs are there, the dashes are there, the evades are there. All with only a stylus. And it looks and sounds great too.

If you didn't like the developments for these DS titles, hey, it's to each their own. But I'll never say these games were a bad fit. We're talking about games on DS that are great fun to play and take advantage of the unit in multiple respects. I was under the impression that that was the whole point. The very reason why PSP got trounced. No games to that truly took advantage of the unit until the last 12 months or so.

Why can't Wii get that same kind of support?

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

I remember the ports of the 16bit era. SNES games were made to take advantage of the increased color palette, Mode 7 and better audio, while genesis games were made to take advantage of the faster processor and better parallax scrolling and fill rate. I miss those days.
Developers today treat Wii like it has no positives to build on and isn't worthy of consideration. Yet it sells better than PS3 and 360. My point has always been...if they could do it for PS2, why not do it for Wii?

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

Great games don't fit every system, man. Hell, I personally think that the DS' attempts at FF, Ninja Gaiden, and Metroid Prime are terrible fits, yes. Mandatorily shoving stylus control into a game is counter-intuitive, in my opinion. Just making a game control a certain way for the sake of a console isn't a good idea. There has to be an active benefit to changing the controls, and so far that hasn't happened. Where would the active benefit to giving DMC to the Wii come from? It's certainly not going to be sales.

Archaotic

DMC is a good fit for Wii just like any other game can be a good fit for Wii if the developers take the time to make the game for the console instead of half assing it. Keep in mind I do own all three consoles but my point is multiplatform games can hurt a console as well as help it depending on the title. You will not see a console's potential with ports. Never. The best games to exploit a console's power has always been in the exclusives. Built totake advantage of a consoles strengths. The current consoles are no different. Wii is no different. So why not make a DMC, Soul Caliber, MGS etc specifically for Wii that's an actually game and not some casual, water-down bullshit that the casual gamer wouldn't touch and the core gamer would laugh at.

I remember when people said similar things about the DS. "It's a kids portable. It's gimmicky, It's a fad..." Now here we are, over 50 million units sold later and DS has Brothers in Arms, CoD 4, Ninja GAiden, FF, Dragon Quest, Metroid Prime...did anyone say CoD4 was a bad fit for DS?

Great games are a good fit for Wii. Regardless of who makes it or what the genre or content is. Great games are a good fit for any console.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

Can they make a Wii version without killing the graphics? Quite possibly, with time and money. Just look at the amazing things companies like Capcom and Squeenix has done with the PS2, which has the lowest spec of the last gen systems.

Unless there's pretty much a guarantee that Capcom's selling another two million on the Wii alone, this is probably an expected decision.

lazyartist

anyways.. i have yet to personally meet a wii fan that wants dmc 4 on their system. im a wii fan, but i dont pledge allegiance to any one company (since sega has departed), and i think all the bashing in here sounds like middle school banter. if game companies were still as smart/cool as they were in the 16 bit days, theyd make a resident evil/devil may cry spin off or side story that would play just the same but not be the official sequel. in fact, i hate that these days its always 4, 5, 6, 7 etc. i liked konami did it for snes/genesis, they used the strengths of each console, if you had an snes, you had super castlevania IV, if you had a genesis, it was bloodlines, and if you had a pc engine cd, it was rondo of blood. i understand why they wouldnt put dmc 4 on wii, and quite frankly i wouldnt want it... but a game set in the dmc universe that explores other things, or actually uses the motion controls well (soul calibur legends used them really well, but the game itself was garbage, id love to see dante controlled like that, i think capcom could do it right) would be cool.

lastly, zack and wiki was good, but who knew about it besides hardcore gamers? i worked in a game store when it was released, and all but like 1 of my co workers had never heard of it, and the one who did? he reads kotaku as well. i mean, it had a kiddy look, it was on the wii, if capcom advertised it on nicktoons, disney, or cartoon network, guaranteed the sales would have been higher.

@Glare:
You do know that "just putting something on the Wii" doesn't guarantee instant sales, right? Look at pretty much any title out there aside from Nintendo first party games, Carnival Games, and RE4. The people who have more than one system already BOUGHT DMC for their next-gens, so the sales would have to rely solely on one-console owners and the expanded audience (who wouldn't buy it anyways).

As far as it being dumbed down, again...I ask...AGAIN whats the excuse for DMC3 on PS2? Actually DMC3 is harder than DMC4 so you're logic is flawed. Complexed AI in DMC4 must have been reserved for the bosses because it sure as hell isn't complexed for the regular enemies. Don't get me wrong, they aren't complete imbeciles but we're not talking about the second coming in AI so that's a bullshit excuse.
That's all I'm hearing...excuses. People prove time and again how short their memories are and this is why developers can get away with the rhetoric.

We were getting epic boss battles, lots of on-screen enemies and increasingly better AI in the LAST generation. These things are not new to this generation. Can someone please answer the question...if PS2 and PSP and get a kick ass God of War...why can't Wii get a DMC? Don't give me that nonsense about dumbed down graphics and controls...I'll point to God of War and DMC on PS2 every time.
Better yet...

Controls - Classic controller - all the buttons and analogs sticks you need.

AI and Boss Battles - go play Metroid Prime 3 or Zelda: TP if you want an example of great AI and epic boss battles.

Graphics - Go play Metroid Prime3, RE4, Mario Galaxy, Zack and Wiki or watch the videos of SSBB if you want to see great graphics on Wii.

Why can't Wii get a DMC?

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

So ya, they could put a pixellated monster out with fewer enemies, weaker AI and shoddy controls, but it wouldnt be worth the money when they could throw garbage on the Wii and let them buy a couple 100k units and make more profit than porting any game and wasting resources downgrading it to such a degree and only selling 400k units, like most 3rd party games custom built for it.

Seriously just because it wouldn't look as good as other consoles doesn't mean you can't do it. They don't WANT to do it.

ostartero

I'll say it again..DMC on Wii should use the classic controller. period. could you people stop trying to blow off the controls as clumsy by using the Wiimote and Chuck as the controller to use for the hypothetical game. Just stop it. All the needed buttons are on the classic controller. end of story.

Then we have the graphics. No one has answered the question (as far as I noticed) if PS2 could give us the graphics of God of War and God of War2, MGS3 and DMC 1-3, then why can't Wii give us superior graphics?
Many of you say you don't want crappy DMC graphics but have any of you looked at DMC3 lately or MGS3 or GoW 2? These games still look good even by today's standards but Wii is capable of better. Look at God of War on PSP. It looks phenomenal and Capcom is telling us that DMC on Wii can't look better than God of War on PSP? Even with more RAM, a faster CPU, larger frame buffer, better GPU and more storage..Wii can't outperform a PS2....a PSP? Give me a break.

Capcom must still be pissed that Nintendo cut them out of SSBB.

You need to go back and make a new engine, scale down all the textures, reduce audio file size, remodel everything, and figure a new control scheme.

Are there really enough people out there with Wiis who want this game? Enough to develop a whole other game and sell it for less?

Be reasonable.

Well, I'd think it would be ok if, at least, they decided to release the three first games of the series in a pack... I remember somebody said something about it, at least on XBox360.

The extra memory also allowed them to make Dante a bit more versatile. You couldn't switch between all weapons (you had to pick two in DMC3), and you certainly couldn't switch between styles on the fly either.

Other than that, yeah, the game's main improvements have been in the overall graphical presentation.

What games come onto the system have more to do with developers than anything else. More people could stand to develop more robust titles for the Wii, but to say that it's against the system's image is something of a fallacy. The system's place is far from cast in stone, and there is still a place for serious games on the system.

Maldron

Wellhereweare

I can understand your feelings of being deprived of the more "epic" games.... but you have to keep in mind the target audiences of the systems.
The systems all have their respective images. It'd be kinda strange if the wii suddenly started focusing on M rated games when it's promoted as such a kid/senior friendly system.
I don't think this means M/T rated games should be all together ignored... it's great to see em on the wii too.. but you can't expect to get a library anywhere near the other two consoles.
They gotta pay attention to the consumers. If alot of wii owners don't care for more "hardcore" games there is no reason to develop them.

"DMC always has been a heavyweight when it comes to glitz and glam"

DMC 1 and 2 had pretty shitty graphics in my opinion, but the graphics aren't the main problem. As you pointed out the controls for the game probably wouldn't suit the gameplay too well. Not to say it couldn't be done, but it would be quite hard to have to flow smoothly.

NeoAkira

Now I'm not saying they should port these games to the Wii, but they certainly can make such games for the Wii. If it's all about specs, controls, and power, then why aren't people asking for 360 and PS3 versions of games like Rayman Raving Rabbids. I mean surely you can have more mini-games, phyics, high end graphics, etc. that surpass what the WIi can do. Oh but that's right, suddenly the "crappy" games don't matter. So in the end, it's about getting great games, specifically your typical "hardcore" games. And why couldn't the Wii get games like that (the PS2 did and it made all the difference to draw in the "hardcore" crowd)? Simply, in the typical fanboy fashion, it's an "us vs. them" scenario. All the good stuff should be ours and ours only. Bonus points for laying to waste the systems you could care less about. You'll use just about any excuse even down to the whole birth of a franchise bit (unless it doesn't work and it's about "audience" or "specs").

I'd probably think Nintendo fans are like this too but considering they've been getting the raw deal for over a decade, I'd give the slack. When they become pompous and arrogant like those fanboys of the PS crowd (not all are jerks mind you), then they can share the same accusations.

questworld

Like what many of the others have said:

1. You'd have to significantly dumb down the graphics - and don't even try to argue this one... why the hell would you want shittier graphics JUST so you can play it on the wii? DMC always has been a heavyweight when it comes to glitz and glam

2. The wii-mote is simple unsuitable for the amount of rapid, calculated, numerous button pressing movements you just have to do for the game. You also shouldn't "have to" buy a classic controller to enjoy a single game.

Simple as this folks.

What's more, DMC1 and 2 were so dissimilar that it not only led to the fans hating it, but Capcom putting less emphasis on it as well as a result of nearly bringing down the entire franchise with it. Know one who actually knows anything about DMC would be under the impression that they divided one full experience into two with these games...it's that simple (additionally, the fact that no one from the first game worked on DMC2 is something else to account for).

As far as it being a personal attack, hardly. It was an honest concern based on my disbelief. All you'd have to do is say you've played one for me to not bring it up, and I haven't seen that in the thread so far.

I suppose my main problem is that I had problems with Twilight Princess. I know they've released tighter controls since, but having a constant input relegated to the remote seems to always end poorly for my wrist. I enjoyed No More Heroes largely because the attakcs were done through the buttons - If i had to swing the remote for every slash in the game, I might not have bothered to play through bitter, at least not immediately after finishing Mild.

I suppose I should concede that it would be an effective way of mimicking the input on the wii remote. I just have my doubts about whether I'd actually choose that version, given the other controller options.

I'm not saying it couldn't be done, I'm saying it couldn't be controlled on the wiimote setup comfortably. There are games that are designed to work well with the Wii, but I don't see the Devil May Cry franchise as being one of them.

As an aside, if you're just spamming the Attack button, you're not going to score well.

Maldron

Capcom then turns around and says.."no RE5 for Wii" but 360 and PS3 are getting it and the old dual analog set-up. Or at the least, it won't have Wiimote support so the accuracy is gone. What kind of bullshit is that? Capcom just showed the world that the Wiimote was THE way to play RE4 but won't make RE5 or even a proper RE game for Wii? We get some retread of RE games of old in the form of Umbrella Chronicles/RE-House of the Dead? The one console than can provide superior controls for the game, won't get the sequel or any proper RE game for that matter.

Stupid...just stupid.

Irenicus-the one and only

I'd still have the Exceed button - a button I need to tap in conjunction with the attack button to make my attacks more powerful, the gun button, the devil trigger button. How would you suggest I fluidly reach the buttons on the bottom of the remote in the middle of combat? I need buttons I can reach easily and without thinking about it, and that isn't found on the bottom of the wiimote.

I half wonder if you've even played a devil may cry before.

Maldron

Okay, so in my head it was just understood; I had to use all those words to describe it. ::grin::

Does Not Equal (ダズナット)

This technicality seems very difficult to port to the Wii, which only has six or so buttons if you're not using a Classic Controller, and the mechanics of it would be mind-bogglingly complex, even to the most battle-hardened gamer. I can only imagine the learning curve would be even harsher for seasoned DMC vets, most of whom are so used to the games' controls that anything different would seem foreign and strange.

The systems involved would also be vastly too complex for Wii's casual market, who would likely be scared off by the difficulty and depth. And can you honestly see Nintendo allowing Capcom to release a game that ONLY uses a Classic Controller or a Cube controller? It'd go completely against the image they're trying to give the Wii, not to mention...what's the point? Why make or port a game for Wii if it doesn't even take advantage of what makes the system unique?

I'm not saying the stylish action genre has no place on the Wii; far from it, actually. I'd love to see more stylish action games, as they're one of the few genres I can still honestly say I like. I can understand Wii fans' desire to have a game in that genre on their system, really, I can. I just think that Devil May Cry might not be the best option. Maybe...a re-envisioning of Viewtiful Joe, perhaps?

Not just any hardware, the hardware with the largest install base and record sales. It's like they want Wii to fail by not giving it real support.

If Infinity Ward can have a dedicated team working on PS3's CoD4 with stellar results, why can't Capcom have a dedicated team for Wii development to give us something more than the garbage we've been getting? That's all I'm saying. Where's the real support for the die-hards that own the console?

Let's break this down a bit further and use Street Fighter IV as an example of Capcom Bad Design practices 101. If memory serves, I started playing Street Fighter 2 in 1992 or 1993 just like many of you. We had to wait years to finally get Street Fighter 3 but that was after we got a slight update over and over again. Street FighterII was on SNES, Genesis, Gameboy Advance and even the original Gameboy. When SFIII came out we got a new parry system, new characters and a new story.

What happened with STreet Fighter IV? We get 3D? So what? We got that with EX. We get the original characters from SFII and a story that's more of a prequel than a proper sequel. So what? We got that in Alpha. Parry system? Gone. Now we have Super Uber duper SUpeR moves and a new Supreme, super ultra, colossal, assbeater meter. Over 15 years of waiting for proper sequels to SF. Nearly 10 years of waiting for a SFIV and what does CApcom do? Make a prequel in 3D with the original characters returning with the original designs. Look at that damn game. Do we need next gen hardware for that? Look at the gameplay videos...I'm seeing the same tactics and combos I was doing in high school back in 93'. Fam...it's 2008! Do we need next gen hardware for that?

Go back and look at DMCIII. Wii can't do that? Wii can't do the first DMC? Capcom would have had my respect if they would have at least released a sequel to PowerStone on Wii with WiFi support. Oh...but I guess Wii can't handle that either...go figure..the original was on DC. So I guess Wii isn't even as powerful as that in Capcom's eyes.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

Wellhereweare

Games like DMC4 can be done on the Wii. No More Heroes is proof that it's possible, and although it needed expanding, it definitely proved the Action Genre could have a home on the system. However, Devil May Cry 4 has me charging my gun while holding the targeting recticle button and using the sword attack button, all while moving the analog stick to engage in the kind of combos I wish, while hitting another button to gather enemies to myself. And it asks me to do this at least three times in any given fight.

Can you suggest to me a control scheme with the wiimote that won't absolutely destroy my wrist in the process? Seriously, it's something that escapes me. I don't deny that it can be done, I merely can't perceive a way it will be done while maintaining the game's fluidity.

And people like you need to realise that games like DMC4 can be done on Wii, not in HD but they can be made, and it will be made, not the same franchise (it seems) but someone will make it. And not every Wii owner owns another console, more like the opposite, besides I got a great PC.

Irenicus-the one and only

How do you or anyone else know that it would 'play horribly' on the Wii? Are you secretly developing for the PSTriple or the Wii? Do you know the underlying differences between the two systems? I certanly don't, and I have no idea WHAT a Devil May Cry would play like on the Wii. What I do know is that while everyone is busy harping on about what the Wii can't do, Nintendo is busy showing off what it CAN. 'Oh, two screens and a stylus?? That'll NEVER work!' I think we all see where that statement failed. My point is that although it's general opinion that Wii should stick to things 'non-HD', I don't understand where the notion that 'non-HD' is a bad thing, and how that ties into what COULD be awesome ports.

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?
