Resident Evil 0: Wii Edition

[hippie_hunter]

The latest issue of Famitsu reveals that Capcom are planning to release an updated version of Resident Evil Zero for the Wii during the course of this summer in Japan - under the name Biohazard 0 of course. The game will most likely make its way to the US and Europe soon thereafter, however nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

Just like the Wii version of Resident Evil 4 the game will see little changes from its predecessor and play similarly to its Gamecube counterpart - to the extent of almost been a port. However, specific areas of the game will apparently be updated to be played with the Wiimote, so there may be a small reason for Resi fans to pick up the game again. The magazine also reveals that the games main characters will still be Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen, and that no extra modes have been revealed for the game as of yet.

We wonder will the game see sales similar to the updated Wii version of RE4? It's unlikely in our opinion unless they make a few significant changes to the game. We'll admit a Wii version of God Hand would have been more welcome as well.

Is it bad of me to say Rebbeca's hot?

Yes.

Do people care about the Wii controls that bad for companies to port old GC/PS2 games to the Wii with the motion sensing. Seems lazy to me

Pointless, RE4 kinda made sense, this doesn't.

As long as the controls are excellent like Resident Evil 4, I'm all for this.

If they end up sucking...then damn

I'm wondering if those are screens from the new one, or screens from the original. I remember the rumor was to remake them all with RE4 gameplay.

Its a Japan only title and NA and EU will not be getting it

with it being left out of UC, i wouldn't mind an RE2 remake done in that style

I hope Capcom ends up changing their minds. I was rather interested in seeing how they would do this.

Well they said that if Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles did well (and they did beating expectations by far), they hoped to remake Resident Evils 1-3 on the Wii with Resident Evil 4 styled gameplay.

i'd like to see it, but i've only played RE4 on GC, how's the remote handle

The controls on Resident Evil 4 for the Wii is fantastic. I recommend picking it up. It offers the best controls of all versions, the extras of the Playstation 2 version, and the better graphics of the Gamecube version.
