Capcom might be porting the engine that powers Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2 to Wii.
In a report from the Nikkei Industrial, Capcom has stated that they will bring the multiplatform game engine that powers their Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games to Wii in an attempt to improve development efficiency. The article doesn't state the name of the engine, but Capcom's current multiplatform engine for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games is called the MT Framework. The engine powers Capcom's major games, such as Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2.
The article also states that bringing the engine to Wii will promote more simultaneous multiplatform development, saving cutting their total development costs by twenty percent while shaving thirty-three percent off of development time when developing games separately.
If the MT Framework engine is ported to Wii, more major Capcom releases may be possible on the platform. The article suggests that Capcom hopes to create Wii versions of the company's major multiplatform releases.
