Speaking to GamesTM at a recent Capcom preview event for on-rails Wii shooter, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, Capcom’s Masachika Kawata said that there may still be hope for Resident Evil 5 on Wii.

“Hypothetically speaking, the Resident Evil 4 engine would work perfectly for replicating the gameplay [of Resident Evil 5] but we would never be able to recreate the graphical quality” Kawata told the magazine. “A gun shooting game like Darkside Chronicles makes much more sense for Wii so, in short, Resident Evil 5 Wii Edition isn’t likely to happen.”

Kawata seemed to change his mind, though, later adding: “Having said that, Cavia has surprised us with the quality of graphics in Darkside Chronicles, so it may actually be possible after all…”
