UPDATE 2
The scanned Famitsu image has some rather playful words near the screenshots.
This seems to suggest the game will be fully 3D and will no longer use pre-rendered backgrounds.
Thanks to Bjorn!
Perhaps we are playing as Trevor in this installment? Thats pure speculation on my part but its the only reason why I'd see a return to the mansion would be needed.
UPDATE
The game will apparently be an action oriented one, which will use the Wiimote to control your weapons. Not much else has been revealed on the title yet but in the coming weeks new information should emerge.
The screenshots we do see show the mansion in what appears to be full 3D, or perhaps it could simply be new camera angles. Its important to note the mansion is identical looking to the one featured in the Remake. Speculation that this could feature a "Biohazard Dash" (A scrapped spinoff of RE1 which took place soon after the mansion incident) are probably a bit early to speculate on, as the main premise of that game was you exploring the Mansion ruins. Going by the screenshots the mansion looks to be in tip top shape. It does seem to suggest that the game will be in an episodic format. As IGN suggest it appears doors can be destroyed with weapons.
Credit for the screenshot goes to the Gamespot Forums.
A video (albeit short) is available as well on Nintendo Japan's official website. The Biohazard footage is about 3/4th's of the way in. Thanks to Nemesis556 and Ferramenta for pointing that out
End Update.
Gamefront is reporting that the official name for the Biohazard Wii title is indeed the rumored "Umbrella Chronicles". They go on to say that the producer for the title is Masachika Kawata (resident Evil 4, Onimusha: Warlords). In addition, a screenshot was shown to famitsu in which they commented that it reminded them very much of Biohazard 1's western house style. More info as it comes.

"See anything you recognize"
"Looking around the dining hall of an old mansion. Wooden table, chandelier, a view to the second floor... have we seen this somewhere before?"
"Umbrella? Umbrella is the gigantic corporation from the "Bio" series who developed the T-Virus and turned people into zombies. Now their name is in the subtitle of the game, will this title perhaps shed some light on their horrible activities?"
"Shoot the door to break it! No need to waste time opening them anymore, will this make walking around the place easier? But...! Does this mean we can't keep enemies from chasing us down!?"
"Will you use your weapons by moving the Wiimote to killing zombies and monsters, perhaps? Our expectations on this new "Bio" game and the new controller are high!"
