“[For the sequel], we ended up using MT Framework [not the same as MT Framework Mobile for 3DS]. This locked what platforms we could use: we can’t output MT Framework on the 3DS. And because we’re working on MT Framework, we ended up saying ‘ok, we’re moving to new-gen too’, so that kind of locked the platforms we’re putting our game on.”

When queried on the situation with the Wii U, Walker responded by saying it was still a hardware issue.

“Because we ended up expanding on the new-gen hardware, that then limited us to what we can do as far as hardware we can work on.”

It's coming to PS3, 360, and Vita too.

Ok, the game has not been made for any Nintendo platforms. Fine.
But please Capcom, don't feed us silly excuses and lies like this.

Thing is Capcom have crapped over Nintendo bigtime. Use the first game to revitalize the franchise then stick two middle fingers up at Nintendo for the second game. Also Using Nintendo to Advertise Megaman on Smash along with sales of Megaman Amiibo's. Capcom are fleecing Nintindo. Use that tactic to get money to fund other platforms whist we get nowt.

Capcom isn't dead. Not as long as they have the Monster Hunter franchise.

But this is garbage. When there was a 3DS version, it wasn't compatible with Wii U, 360 or PS3, but they worked around it because they knew the other versions would make money. So ok, the 3DS version isn't compatible, but why can't they do exactly the same thing as before when the tables were reversed and work around it and even build ground up if need be. The 3DS was the highest selling version after all. That's not worth anything? Pfft

lul what? They're not doing a Wii U version because of the low sales.. I would buy a Wii U version, but from a business standpoint I understand. I'm sure they can work around the 3DS. How about make it a new 3DS exclusive? I don't know either way, I know this guy is kidding himself about his reasoning for no Wii U version. It's definitely not because of the hardware... facepalm

It's so obvious that "hardware limitations" is complete trash, could've possibly understood if it wasn't coming to Vita. The worst thing is that Nintendo won't do anything about it because we all know Monster Hunter is pretty much a lifeline for them.

Nintendo are too nice for their own good.

Just another third party dev not bothered about Nintendo platforms and rightly so, it's business not a friendship, deal with it.

To all those mentioning Vita, Capcom is not behind that one.

Doesn't bother me, I need something to play on the Vita this year.

They've gotta put the main focus where the money is. Resident Evil just sells the most on playstation. For saying RE:R was the best resident evil in about a decade, and probably the best looking game on the 3DS, it sold really quite poorly. Whereas a trainwreck like RE6 sold incredibly well just because that's where it's audience is.

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

Yes, the multi-console overly marketed main Resident Evil game sold way more than the incredibly less marketed handheld spinoff game. Thank you for this information.

The best selling version of RE:R was on the 3DS tho...

Looks like the developers chose a platform for development that doesn't support export to Wii U & 3DS, and that is why we don't get a version. Without knowing the reasons why this was done (without a leak we'll never know) I think it's hard to comment.

Yes, exactly. The audience lies with Xbox, Sony, and the Steam brands. RE: Revelations was a great game, but sold like garbage on Wii U. Simple math=no sequel.

I thought one of the main selling points for publishers on the Wii U was the simple/cheap porting process from 360 to Wii U? Either way, it can't be hardware limitations simply because the Wii U is stronger than both the PS3 and 360. The real reason is sales worries, of course. So I'm not mad, just indifferent.
