Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop

Yeah, so when E3 came it was a shock for Sony fanboys loosing the exclusivity of Final Fantasy to be ported (probably with reduced graphics?) to the 360. However 360 fanboys also got a shock at E3, not only from Sony's answer to Halo, which is a 250 multiplater online war game, but tthey also lost an exclusive title: Dead Rising!

Dead Rising is a game which is basically one big tribute to Dawn of the Dead. You are a news photographer trying to find the scoop of the century, eventually fining himslelf inside a shopping mall with litterally THOUSANDS of the undead.


Well it seems that Capcom are complete corperate whores, and have decided to break yet another exclusivity deal *coughresidentevil4cough* and port it to......

The Nintendo Wii
In-case you forgot what one looks like

So now 360 fanboys everywhere are angry that an "inferior" console is getting yet another
lost exclusive, yet they have gained a PS3 one? Is there no pleaseing these 360 fanboys?
A Typical 360 Fanboy

The Nintendo Wii version will use an 'advanced' version of RE4's engine, and is being built totally all over again.
The graphics look decent (well the do require more zombies on screen than in RE4, you are going to have to make a sacrifice somewhere, anyway D.R. on the 360 wasn’t amazing either), and the gameplay of RE4 Wii edition was very welcome. IMO it was great, if only to piss off 360 fanboys!


Anyway I can't wait to mush up some undead, I've been chopping up corpses at my local graveyard but it never feels the same unless they're coming at you wanting literally apiece of you :(

So despite the graphical limitations of the Wii (compared to the 360) I'm very much looking forward to swinging the Wiimote (maybe it will use the new Wiimote add-on to increase sensitivity?!) to lawnmower some undead to shreds. While Dead Rising 2 (Vegas?) is on it's way, who knows, it might be ported to the Wii too? Or maybe even the Playstaion 3!
