Nintendo Wii

The word “port” can be a very risky thing to say around gamers. There's always this thought in the back of the mind, “Oh no, Oh no, Oh no”. There are definitely video games out there that get ported over that become successful. Probably one of the greatest examples is Resident Evil 4 for the Nintendo Wii. This video game had absolutely everything you wanted from a port. It looked as good if not better than the original, it had great additional content, and wonderfully fresh motion controls.

In a semi-rant on Capcom's community site a user had this to say, “Capcom, I'm really pissed right now. I want to play these video games, but you give us Wii owners the shaft. No RE5 Wii, possibly no Dead Rising 2, no Lost Planet, no Flock, no Age of Booty, No Street Fighter 4, no Devil May Cry, no Dark Void.”

This followed with Capcom's Christian Svensson making this statement, “We are contemplating versions of one or 2 of the CEI titles you've mentioned on the Wii (not saying which), but we'd like to see how they do on their initial target systems before doubling down on additional SKUs.”

Of course this has led to speculation on which titles it could be. So, all of this news has led us to today's Top 5 List Of video games that should be ported to the Nintendo Wii.
