Capcom bringing two-year old Dead Rising to Wii

First released on Xbox 360 in 2006, Capcom has announced it will rerelease Dead Rising on Wii with motion controls and a new subtitle, Chop Till You Drop.
Dead Rising on Wii: Now with 100% less zombies
"Based on the critically acclaimed Dead Rising, which has sold in excess of one million units since its release in 2006, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is scheduled to hit store shelves this Winter," Capcom said in a statement today.
"Taking advantage of the same proven technology that brought Resident Evil 4 so successfully to Wii, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop delivers a more immersive, intuitive, and interactive experience as players use the Wii Remote to shoot, slash and bludgeon their way through a zombie infested shopping mall, fighting for survival."
Slice them fools to bits using any in-game object
As those who played the Xbox 360 original already know, Dead Rising follows the tale of Frank West, a freelance photo journalist hunting down "the scoop of a lifetime" at the local mall.
The Wii port with its fancy new subtitle uses the Resident Evil 4 graphics engine, Wii Remote aiming (obviously), a weaponizable environment, and seemingly fewer on-screen zombies when compared to the Xbox 360 version.
It's a shame Wii owners won't be getting a scaled down 360 engine. Resident Evil 4 is soooo last-generation.

Loved this game for the 360, don't think I'll be picking it up for my Wii though. God, my Wii just keeps collecting more and more dust. Maybe I should finally sell it.

I think Dead Rising will be decent on the Wii. There will be definite changes between the Wii and Xbox360 but I think the changes will make sense for the Wii's control setup and are expected. Don't prejudge the game until credible reviews or previews come out.
