Resident Evil: Code Veronica For Wii?

Wii

Cheer up, Wii owners. While Resident Evil 5 may be hitting the Xbox 360 and PS3 shelves in just a couple of days, Nintendo fans may have something to look forward to. Joystiq is reporting that Capcom's Associate Product Marketing Manager, Matt Dahlgren, recently commented that "Nintendo Wii fans will be very happy very soon" during an interview on the imminent release of RE5.

Capcom has shown the system some support with its on-rails Umbrella Chronicles game, as well as a port of the Gamecube's Resident Evil 4 with added IR controls. After Game Focus' interview, many are now speculating that the new project will be a Wii-make of Code Veronica. When asked about the likelihood of Code Veronica hitting the PSN or XBLA, Dahlgren responded with:

"Nothing is planned for the game regarding a remake on PSN/XBLA, but what I can say is if you are a fan of Code Veronica you should pay attention in the next couple of weeks there is some news you should be very pleased with... pay attention on the 12th of March."
