Next Resident Evil could be for Wii

Resident Evil 4 was best on Wii. You know it’s true. The controls, of course, were what made the experience. Resident Evil 5, on the other hand, has seen quite a bit of griping because of its controls. So what’s the next logical step? Make a new Resident Evil game for the Wii. Resident Evil 5 producer Masachika Kawata gets it:

Personally I would like to create something on Wii in the Resident Evil family. At the moment we don’t know and have just been working on RE5, so watch this space.

Don’t bother to watch that space. We here at The Tanooki will watch it for you and let you know if anything changes.

Of course, this is far from an announcement that Resident Evil 6 will be a Wii game. It’s not known for sure whether this hypothetical Wii Resident Evil will ever come to fruition, and if it does, it’s not clear at this point whether it will be the next installment in the main series or another spinoff. Still, it’s hard not to get excited at the prospect of more of what Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition brought to the table.
