Is Resident Evil 5 for the Wii Slowly Becoming Reality?

While the possibility of Resident Evil 5 coming to the Wii has been officially denied by the people of Capcom, a recent press conference hints that the dream may actually become reality...

When we talked to SEGA of America president Simon Jeffery at E3 last week, he showered us with knowledge and know-how. He also threw in a quick mention of a game we hadn't heard anything about — officially, that is — Resident Evil 5 for the Wii. To say that we were surprised to hear it mentioned would be an understatement, despite our non-reaction if front of Mr. Jeffery.

We followed up with a couple folks about the on camera slip of the tongue, starting with Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime.

Discussing our Executive Pop Quiz, in which we asked Nintendo Corporate Affairs VP Denise Kaigler if Resident Evil 5 was getting a Wii version, Mr. Fils-Aime fired back with a "Not yet!" and a laugh that left us more confused than when we started the question.

As far as a Wii port of the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 title, Kramer asked of us "Have you seen Resident Evil 5?" implying that such a port would be almost impossible, adding that he'd not heard any such product was in the works for Nintendo's platform.

Indeed, although I'm keeping a hopeful outlook on the Dead Rising Wii game. From how I understand, they are basically building a new game around the Dead Rising story. Since the new game is built on an already established engine, I think it can be done justice. It wouldn't be like the 360 version, but the thing is, if I wanted to play the 360 version, I would play it on 360.

Didn't Umbrella Chronicles sell in the millions as well? There is certainly a RE following on Wii.
