while WII owners will get a crappy rail shooter and 2 GC ports... for NDS? nothing!

anyway, 30 bucks for 2 games, exellent! I just hope it will be released across Europe too...

i got an odd ? can i set up a PSP account in the UK through my PSP and use my credit card through that to purchase gmaes from that store?

If the price is somewhat the same here, I'll buy them. I hate disk swapping. Seems like a bargain, but it wouldn't hurt if they added some extras. Obviously I know it's not gonna happen since it's lazy-ass Capcom we are talking about.

Does RE4 for Wii have Gamecube Controller support? I tried to use it but never worked. However I fell in love with the controller scheme of Wii. Those headshots with the Wiimote were amazingly easy to do.

My thoughts exactly, I think they want to release these two games now so they there's
not that much gap (in time) for the release of the remakes of RE 2-CV (expecting the
same treatment of REmake). I don't think they'll do the same mistake with GC ports. It has
been done enough and if they do, they should be free (I'm not spending another $29.99).

I've own the whole cannon story on the GC & Wii, so I will planning to buy the Wii games.
for those people who don't know this games will feature wii controls but I believe
no waggle, but I believe it supports widescreen and it's all in one disc which is a plus for
me.

[Gradon]

But isn't that the European PS store? We don't have have any of those on the US one.

It's every store.

Well at least they arent trying to milk $29.99 out of our pockets for each game seperately. I'm guessing this will be the first Wii game with two DVD discs. Unless they can crunch it down to fit on a standard DVD or just slap it all on a dual layer disc. REmake has a few spelling/grammer errors so I hope they at least fix that up in additon to having the features that were added to the original Japanese releases. This, The Conduit, and Indiana Jones will be keeping my Wii busy this coming June.

[Kaneco]

Same here. XD

[Jill's Boob]

Nice. $30 for TWO games? Right on...

I never bothered to purchase RE0 since I beat it on a rental (and think it is a pretty boring game TBH), but I'll surely take it with a planned purchase of REmake Wii.

REmake Wii has progressive scan at least, right? I mean, please tell me it has even a minor advantage over my GC version... I'll still buy it, since REmake is my favorite video game ever and I just feel some serious allegiance to it.

[Weskers Flag]

Well, I'm glad they finally decided to make more Resident Evil games for the Wii. I haven't played the original Zero .

[TyrackT71]

why the heck is it not on the 360 or PS3?
well now i need a wii

[mamock116]

That's true. Once I beated RE0 I've never bothered in playing it again. It's a pretty boring game. But Remake, on the other hand, is the best RE game ever. You know, Once you beat RE5 and then you remember Remake you end up thinking about... why the plot had to end in such pathetic way (Jill brainwashed, las plagas, Spencer pathetic cameo etc). But that's another story, not need to make offtopic here.

[Ryler]

Does RE4 for Wii have Gamecube Controller support?

Yes. I think you have to press A or start on the Gamecube Controller in the title screen. I used the GC controller when I first played it.

I wonder if they'll put the two games in one disc. Hehe.

[TheSelfishGene]

I think it's really good they're doing this, as the GCN releases are hard to come across second hand now. And the Wii user base is so much bigger than the GCN's ever was.

That said, owning 3 copies of each on GCN, I'm going to pass on this for the Wii.

[A-J]

AND you don't have to switch discs anymore!

win win for all.

[Stu]

It's every store.

No it's not. The UK account doesn't anything like that ammount of quality on there, the Japanese store is the only one with all the Capcom stuff like that. Capcom say they're submitting stuff to Sony that they're waiting for approval, but we're still waiting for them right now.

My thoughts exactly, I think they want to release these two games now so they there's
not that much gap (in time) for the release of the remakes of RE 2-CV (expecting the
same treatment of REmake).

I don't think they'll remake the next three games from the series at all.

I thought when they announced the brand that both games would be two difference releases with the RE Classics branding. I'm wondering if those plans have changed now, that they're not using RE Classics and are just releasing this one package as Resident Evil Archives.
