Resident Evil 5 confirmed for PS3, 360; Nintendo snubbed

Remember the Capcom 5?  The five amazing Nintendo exclusive titles that would sell the console?  Let's see what happened: one got cancelled (I forget the name), one got critically hammered (PNO 3), and the three others were released or are soon to be released on the Playstation 2 (Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7, and Resident Evil 4).  If that wasn't enough, Capcom has officially announced Resident Evil 5, but it seems that at this moment, Nintendo will not get Resident Evil at all.  In the statement, Capcom mentions specifically mentions PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and those two consoles alone.  This could change in the future – RE4 sold mightily well on the GameCube, if I recall –
but for now it seems Nintendo has just lost Capcom's love.

Rant aside, 1up has a nice writeup, as well as links to some pictures from the game, or if you want the official word check out Capcom's statement below.  I do have to agree with 1up, it does look like Chris Redfield has returned, and the game looks really good for being almost a year from release, at least.
