January 18, 2006 - In a recent interview with overseas publication Jeux-France, Capcom producer Minoru Nakai, current responsible for the DS version of Resident Evil, commented on Nintendo's upcoming home console, codenamed Revolution. He questioned whether or not a future Revolution Resident Evil title, were it to be developed, would require the functionality of the Big N's innovative new controller.
"It's certain that the Nintendo Revolution controller is its key element, but the real question is whether the innovation within the Resident Evil series requires the usage of all of this unique controller's functions?" he asked. "We recently redefined the series with Resident Evil 4, in which the camera is repositioned behind the hero and elevated the action and intensity of the gameplay. Even if the gameplay of Resident Evil 4 remains up to my taste, we'd clearly love to exploit the potential of the Nintendo Revolution controller to prevent players tiring of this style of gameplay."
That noted, Nakai said that Capcom would prefer to first experiment on Revolution with a different franchise. "I think it be smarter to develop a game other than Resident Evil on Nintendo Revolution first so that we can become familiar with the advantages of this new control concept -- to better benefit from the potential of the controller," he said. "That's what we're working on at the moment."
He did not reveal further specifics.
