Why make a true sequel to the new classic zombie photography game when you can port it to a system where the majority of owners are little kids, moms, and the odd grandma, right? Obviously, Capcom is trying to take advantage of the Wii's amazing sales (shortage my ass) and try to gather the mainstream crowd. Still though, what mother or grandma looking for their little boy or girl's birthday present will take a second look at the game after looking at the cover or on the back? The good news: Add one more hardcore title to the Wii. Thing is, if they want to play it so bad, why not just go out and buy a 360 for the real version, that also has, though albeit useless, DC? Probably won't stop Nintendo fanboys at gloating that Dead Rising is no longer a Microsoft exclusive though.
[update]
The combat will be more in-line with RE 4s combat system aka aiming with the Wiimote. You'll move the Wiimote to use melee weapons and to shake off zombies as well. I will say though: It looks pretty damn good on the Wii.
