It seems like if one developer has been making more noise than all of the rest lately, it has to be Capcom. First came the initially-surprising-but-oh-wait-this-makes-total-sense news that Monster Hunter 3, which was in development as a PS3 exclusive, is now a Wii exclusive. In just the past few days, Capcom has announced both a new Bionic Commando and Street Fighter IV, both of which has the oldschool fans drooling, if hesitant. What could they possibly announce next?
Another one for the obvious column: Capcom is making a version of Okami for the Wii. Given that the game sold so poorly on the PS2, it's good to see them giving it another chance, especially on a console with the potential to make the brush-stroke mechanics even more interesting and intuitive.
Now Capcom, how about a new Dark Stalkers with an actual redrawn Morrigan sprite set? Or at the very least, a version of Dead Rising with text I can read on my SDTV without going blind?

I hope the game gets more sales, as it's great, but will a motion gimmick cause the game to sell a lot when it bombed on the PS2's huge install base? Logic says no, the lack of compelling Wii titles says maybe. Also, will the wildly unpopular art style (from America's point of view, which was cited as a major reason for its lack of sales) suddenly get more appreciated on a new console?
Anyway, it seems Ready at Dawn is handling the port, which certainly boosts my confidence in the controls.

Big issue for me, too. Not exactly in this game but for example the Bladestorm demo - even if Ioved the gameplay I couldn't buy this game because I love my eyes more.
I'm excited if Streetfighter IV can live up to hype - I hope so. I'd buy it.
