No Killer 7 for Wii News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Capcom has held its hands up in apology this afternoon after misleading people into believing Killer 7 was heading to Wii.
It confirmed that no port would be heading to Nintendo's new console at this moment in time, but hinted it wasn't entirely out of the question for the future.
Confusion arose initially when a Wii symbol appeared next to the Killer 7 listing on the official Capcom website. But the publisher insists it was purely a mistake left over from testing various icon sizes.
Admittedly the introduction of the Wiimote in the gun combat would be a perfect fit, but unlike, say, Resident Evil 4, Killer 7 was never a big hit for Capcom, so a port at this stage always seemed unlikely.
Grasshopper Manufacture was partly responsible for the original GameCube and PlayStation 2 title, and has already confirmed development of No More Heroes for Wii, along with two additional unnamed projects.
Killer 7 was a heavily stylised game released back in 2005. It threw convention out of the window, with a completely bonkers plot and some slightly surreal moments that marked it out as a one-of-a-kind game.

Definetly a great game. I like the political background scenario of a failing utopia.

Oh come on.
I held up my hands in apology this morning! About quarter to ten on your very own Euroforum, among other places. Afternoon, schmafternoon. |

Odd game... could never quite work out whether Killer 7 was brilliant or an absolute mess. Memorable, if nothing else.

Killer 7 is a great game to experience and play. A pity a lot of the press didn't get it - this title deserves at least 80%, if not more. Out on GC and PS2 - usually for a bargain price nowadays - there's no excuse for not giving this one a spin at least once in one's life. Original, daring and different - nice qualities in this age of the videogame/movie industry where tried-and-tested formulas are regurgitated ad nauseam.
Add.: oh yeah, the game is confusing at first. Not wanting to hold hands, Killer 7 rather lets you discover itself and once you do, you're rewarded with a rather nice game and story underneath the esthetics.
