Capcom - No plans to ressurect Dead Phoenix, no Dead Rising Wii, and why Monster Hunter 3 went Wii

“(Dead Phoenix returning) As far as CEI resurrecting it, frankly, we have enough things on our plate at the moment and enough ideas in the pipeline that we don’t need to be going back to that well.” - Christian Svensson, Capcom’s Sr. Director of Strategic Planning & Research

“(Monster Hunter 3 Wii) It was a strategic decision set by the team and our Japanese management to address an emerging market on the Wii. At the time the decision was made, it was in reference to the Wii market in general, no particular sub-segement thereof.” - Christian Svensson, Capcom’s Sr. Director of Strategic Planning & Research

Mr. Svensson also made a point to say that there are no plans to bring Dead Rising, or any game like it, to the Wii. No specific reasons were given, but I would guess that processing power has something to do with it.
