All the information that doesn't fit into any other sections is thrown down 
here.  It's pretty much all the boring stuff that readers don't care to scan 
over.  Like for instance copyright information, special thanks, version 
history, some background information on the writer, stuff like that -

Wait.  What?

                          FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS                     [FA00]
*******************************************************************************

[1]

(Q) How do I play with a Gamecube controller?

(A) Plug the Gamecube controller into the top of the Wii system, turn on the 
game, detach any peripheral that is plugged into the remote (Nunchuk, classic  
controller), then the Gamecube controller will function.

[2]

(Q) Why does my nunchuk sometimes lose all of its function while I'm in the 
middle of the game?

(A) This happens to me every now and then as well.

First of all, make sure that the batteries aren't dead - there is no warning 
when they die, all control is just suddenly lost.

Second, if there is a big source of light that is hitting the sensor on the 
Wii-mote then that may cause it to lose it's signal.

Third, your wrist might be detaching the plug-in for the nunchuk enough to make 
it unplug slightly.  This is my main problem.  I suppose I get too wild while 
playing RE4...

[3]

(Q) Is there any way to get the laser targeting back?  This targeting cursor 
doesn't look natural...

(A) Play with either a Gamecube controller or a classic controller to have the 
laser reappear.  The cursor will disappear when the Wii-mote is not used.

[4]

(Q) Do the on-screen button icons change when a different controller beside the 
Wii-mote is used?

(A) Yes, the classic controller buttons are displayed for both the classic 
controller and Gamecube when an on-screen button prompt appears.

[5]

(Q) Is there any way to reconfigure the classic controller settings?

(A) No.  Either learn to like it or use one of the other methods of play.

[6]

(Q) Is there any way to delete an individual save without deleting the main 
file?

(A) No.  Individual saves cannot be deleted from the main file.  Save over them 
or just ignore useless files.

[7]

(Q) Why can't I start Professional mode with all my weapon upgrades?

(A) You have to start a new game when first starting Professional mode, so all 
the upgrades that were obtained on a previous normal save will not carry over. 
Be sure to save your Professional mode bonus game once Professional mode is 
beaten.

[8]

(Q) I accidentally saved over my bonus game!  OMG!  Did I just lose everything?

(A) All your unlocked modes are still available.  The unlocked weapons require 
a bonus game save - they're still unlocked, but you'll have to beat the game 
again to obtain them.

[9]

(Q) Can I used my unlocked weapons on any mode?  For instance, can I unlock the 
P.R.L. 412 on Professional and use it on normal mode?

(A) Yes.  Just make sure to keep a bonus game saved for each difficulty.

[10]

(Q) I accidentally killed the merchant... by swinging my Wii-mote violently in 
frustration... Leon slashed him.  Can I revive him?

(A) The merchant is dead in that area.  Reload a prior save.  You need to watch 
how you swing that thing of yours.

[11]

(Q) I have heard that the cutscenes are not prerendered this time, so does that 
mean the Leon appears with his unlockable outfits in the cutscenes?

(A) For the RPD uniform yes, but for the gangster outfit, no.  The gangster 
outfit displays Leon in his degraded PS2 character model, so apparently it was 
decided to showcase him in his normal outfit during all the cutscenes while 
that outfit is worn.  There are a few (very few) cutscenes that will show him 
in his gangster outfit, and all radio cutscenes will show him in that outfit.

[12]

(Q) Berserker, what is your favorite Resident Evil and why?

(A) Resident Evil: Code Veronica X.  The story, the setting, the graphics, the 
camera angles, the characters (most of them).  Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is an 
extremely close second.

                               VERSION HISTORY                           [VH00]
*******************************************************************************

Version 1.0 - (August 20, 2007) - Oh, my word.  Is this guide actually done!  
It has been worked on for quite a while ever since RE4: Wii Edition's release 
date, so yeah, you could say it has been in development for quite a while.

I really think the intro to this guide is too corny but I couldn't think of a 
better one, so there you go.  Proofread up to Chapter 3-1.  There is a 
possibility of some file and dialogue transcripts in future updates - still 
deciding if this is worthwhile or not.

Version 1.1 - (August 22, 2007) - Corrected a few errors and added a few extra 
details to the walkthrough for Leon.  Proofread up to Chapter 4-1.  If you find 
any errors (typos, mistakes) in any part of the walkthrough before Chapter 4-1 
of Leon's game then an email about it would be most appreciated.  I still 
haven't proofread over the rest of the guide, so yeah, I'm sure plenty of 
mistakes are found below that portion. ;)

*******************************************************************************

I can be reached at my email address, which is > berserker_kev(at)yahoo.com <, 
so please contact me if you have any questions, comments, etc.  Replace the 
(at) with @.  I don't mind receiving emails at all.  All I ask is for you to 
try to make the email decent. I realize that some people do not speak perfect 
English or cannot type that well, so that doesn't really matter to me, but all 
that I ask is that you try to make it readable.  If you found this walkthrough 
helpful, an email would be most appreciated.

I would prefer you not to add me to your messenger, but if you do, at least 
tell me a bit about yourself and why, or if I know you, tell me who you are. 
One of my pet peeves is when people just add me to their messenger without 
saying anything.  I usually just deny their request.

                                   ABOUT ME                              [AM00]
*******************************************************************************

Well, my name is Kevin.  I'm 27 years old (as of March 2007) and reside in the 
US (Mississippi).  I've been an avid player of video games ever since I first 
got an Atari 2600 back when I was 6 years old.  I've tried to escape into many 
other hobbies but always wind up back to square one with video games.  My 
favorite gaming series is Resident Evil by far, then second would be 
Castlevania.  Playing just about any survival horror is a major high point in 
my gaming experience.

A few of my other interests include horror movies, anime, and I'm a complete 
message board junkie.  You can find me at Artic Nightfall (Berserker) or the 
Resident Evil or Castlevania IGN message boards (berserker_kev) from time to 
time.  I'm also a big fan of viewing artwork, though I can't draw myself.  Even 
though I can't draw, I try to be a creative person through writing, and 
hopefully that reflects in my guides.  My dream is to be a professional 
walkthrough writer, but until then I will continue to publish guides for free 
on GameFAQs and the various other gaming sites.

For any other info about me, please see my FAQ Writer of the Month interview at

                           MY PLEAD TO NEW RE FANS                       [MP00]
*******************************************************************************

Yeah, you know the ones that I'm talking about.  Resident Evil gained quite a 
numerous fanbase just from the release of Resident Evil 4.  The bad part about 
this is that many of the new Resident Evil fans have not experienced the 
greatness of the original series.

If you're a new fan that has yet to experience the original games then I highly 
recommend that you go out and hunt down Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil (REmake 
and possibly Deadly Silence for DS), Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, 
and Resident Evil: Code Veronica - maybe the two Resident Evil: Outbreaks too - 
and immerse yourself in the fantastic world of survival horror that first gave 
birth to the series.  I would recommend playing Resident Evil 0 at least after 
finishing Resident Evil 2 - it may be a prequel but there are key characters 
that appear in RE and RE2 that the player should be familiar with when playing 
RE0.  Keep in mind that the control scheme is the same as RE4, it's just that 
the camera isn't behind the character most of the time.

If you want more survival horror then check out the much underrated Fatal Frame 
series or Silent Hill series.  If you want more action like RE4 then try Shadow 
of Rome and Dead Rising - maybe Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams as well.
