Wagglin' plagas (RE4 for Wii confirmed)

Yeah, I know there's a big RE4 thread, but I thought this news deserved a thread of its own (and I apologize if it's been covered elsewhere).

According to IGN, Famitsu has reported on the long-rumored Biohazard 4 Wii edition. Here's how you'll use the Wiimote to tackle those creepy Spaniards:
The Wiimote is used to aim a targeting cursor in order to target and fire at your enemies. To reload, you hold down on the B trigger and shake the Wiimote. In case you were wondering, the built-in speaker is being programmed with a reload sound effect.

The Wiimote is also used for close-range attacks. When an enemy approaches, all you have to do is give the Wiimote a little of the shake-shake. The game automatically detects the direction of the enemy and makes Leon perform a knife attack. This move can also be used against trees and barrels.

The rest of the game has also been modified to take account of the Wii's unique controller. Interactive event scenes display the Wii buttons when prompting for input. Some events require that you shake the Wiimote.

The game will contain all the PS2 content, along with multiple difficulty settings. Supposedly it'll be released at the end of May in Japan, with no international release dates confirmed yet.

Hmmm, interesting. I like the auto-tracking on the knife... that's one of the few things that bugged me about the original game (having to aim down at an itty-bitty breakable box.

    If NeoGAF is to be believed, the price is also an awesome $30.

    I'd say "bought so hard," but a game like RE4 requires a little more ... drama.
    MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!

    So why the hell are people convinced that it'll look worse than the GC version? The Wii uses the same damn programming language as the GC, making porting ludicrously easy. Just plop the existing code in, and boom, you're done porting the engine. I'd be more concerned that they'd fuck up the controls.

    I will take my GC RE4 copy, go to gamestop, trade it in, and use the credit towards RWii4. Then I will laugh maniacally as I have aided one of the most reviled chain stores on the planet.

    I dunno. Maybe 'cause the extras come from the PS2 port?

    I'd love if they kept the option for the GC controls. They won't, but seeing as the Freeloader/Action Replay refuses to work with the PAL Wii my US copy of RE4 is pretty useless.

    Also, lets hope they give both wiimote and cube controls. Then it will be PERFECT.

    Yeah, there's no way I'm buying this again. All they added was waggle? That's some pretty lame shit, even for rehash-addicted Capcom.

    So, has anything come out for the Wii recently that isn't a puzzle game or a last-gen rehash or port?

    Nah, he just has a negative opinion. As do I. This thing sounds incredibly weak, even for $30.

    Assignment Ada was on the GC version. But it basically was just Ada going through the island level part of the game.

    PS2 had Separate Ways which is the entire RE4 game but from Ada's side of the story.

    It will be easier for them to add things to the cube version than to port the PS2 version, right?

    Anyway, I'll buy it if it's 480p and widescreen. Well worth the $30 just for that imo...

    er, unless the cube version is already 480p and widescreen. I haven't tried it yet on my new TV.

    As long as they make a good job of the port like they did with the PS2 version, I'll probably be buying this. Especially if its cheap. Also, in the Umbrella Chronicles thread, there are a couple of scans of the RE4 Wii port, on one of them it looks like Luis might be a playable character....this would be awesome. Its a little picture showing Luis with a swishing Wiimote on it. Probably just wishful thinking, but I'd love a Separate Ways style extra where you get to play as Luis :lol:

    Hopefully it'll actually be slightly improved over the gamecube version with maybe some sharper textures since it has more memory.

    At the very least, it'll be nice to have it all on one disc now.
