However, the whiplash from that news has only exacerbated by protests from fans and the developers in France.

Since the revolutionary "Resident Evil 4," Capcom's noted franchise has placed greater emphasis on action gameplay. The approach has created a deal of controversy from fans and critics; many favor the approach, but the others resent the franchise's move away from its horror roots. "Resident Evil 6"drew some of the worst reviews in the franchise and it seems that Capcom has finally come to terms with the fact that the company's current direction with the franchise may not be the right now.
Despite not performing up to expectations, the Wii U will not see a price drop in the foreseeable future.
