No Silent 5 For Nintendo Wii, It Seems

Printed rumors claim that Silent Hill 5 is coming to PS3 and Xbox 360, but it looks like Wii will be left out of the loop. And it’s not because of horsepower, but because of the antiquated perception that it’s only a family console.

In a recent interview with Electric Shock Magazine (via), Masashi Tsuboyama both complimented and condescended to Wii’s audience.

“While Nintendo Wii sales are very high, and i applaude Nintendo for their sucess, I dont think Silent Hill is a game that would be sold on Nintendo Wii as much as a game like Zelda would worldwide. This by no means says we will not consider the idea but the general opinion is that Wii is for family games and im sure the fans don’t play Silent Hill with their grandma!”

Apparently, he hasn’t been informed that Resident Evil, No More Heroes, and Manhunt 2 aren’t exactly rated E for Everyone.

He also thinks the Wiimote isn’t a good match, saying it “would be easier to make for but the control scheme would be hard to implement in a Silent Hill game.”
