Whilst Capcom’s Devil May Cry 4 is currently lighting up the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 charts in all over the world, it seems like Nintendo fans are set to be left in the dark with the series once more, since Capcom has absolutely no plans to make a Wii edition of the popular action title.

Devil May Cry 4’s lead producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi was recently interviewed by Crispy Gamer about the fourth entry into the franchise that follows the exploits of Dante and his considerably sharp sword. However, despite the game’s roots on the PlayStation 2 and even a mobile phone version being created, Kobayashi’s inexplicably believes that a Wii version just would not capture the atmosphere of the series, plus the Wii motion controls would not be suited to particular aspects of the action adventure. Below is the specific extract from the interview:

Crispy Gamer: With the recent popularity of the Wii, it seems that casual gaming is the new direction in which videogames are heading. Yet, I love the fact that Devil May Cry 4 is still designed to be a hardcore experience for hardcore gamers. I’m happy that you believe that there are enough hardcore gamers out there to support Devil May Cry 4. Beyond that, I hope the series never winds up on the Wii.

Hiroyuki Kobayashi: [Laughs] You know, a lot of people ask us if we are going to bring out a Wii version. I simply don’t think you can make the game the type of game it is, with the awesome graphics and control — I don’t think that would work on the Wii. So, I don’t think we’re going to bring one out, no.

Crispy Gamer: We appreciate that.

Hiroyuki Kobayashi: Plus, if you had to do the High Roller on the Wii [makes swinging motion upwards with two hands], you would probably get very tired.

Below is a clip from the PlayStation 3 edition, to give you a taster of what Wii owners are missing out on:

But what do you think the real reason is behind Capcom not wanting to bring Devil May Cry to Wii, or do readers believe a spin-off may eventually arrive in the future anyway? Let us know your thoughts by posting below…
