"Resident Evil has become one of the premier franchises in the games
industry, with more than 30 million RE games sold around the world," said Jack
Symon, director, product marketing, Capcom Entertainment. "The innovative
controller functionality of the Wii will allow us to design innovative, original
game play never before seen in a Resident Evil game. With RE4, we’re challenging
the Wii hardware to meet Resident Evil, while in The Umbrella Chronicles, we’re
adapting Resident Evil to the innovations of the Wii."
Resident Evi 4 now comes to the Wii with added Wii Remote and Nunchuck
support, allowing players to immerse themselves in the game as never before.
With RE4 Wii Edition, Capcom is offering new and more immersive sense of control
to players, while keeping all of the game’s incredible game systems intact. As
Leon Kennedy, players will explore a town overrun by cultists, mutants and
mind-controlled villagers, using the Wii Remote to aim, fire, slash and avoid
oncoming adversaries with intuitive motions and movements. RE4 Wii Edition will
also contain the additional content included in the PlayStation 2 version of the
game.
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a brand new game in the Resident
Evil franchise, with familiar locales from the entire series, created
specifically for the unique characteristics of the Wii hardware. This
action/shooter hybrid reveals the back story behind the fall of the Umbrella
Corporation by exploring locations from Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3 as well as
new never-before-seen locations, such as Umbrella’s stronghold. Resident Evil:
The Umbrella Chronicles combines first-person, light-gun style combat with
interactive pathways, multiple weapons and new enemies to create an entirely new
Resident Evil experience that could only be delivered on the Wii.
