And the latest in lazy Wii Ports: Resident Evil Zero

In the latest Famitsu, it has been revealed that Capcom is going release port of Resident Evil Zero for Wii. Not remake, just port. It's a freaking six years old game! How low you can go? 
Hypnotically inclined.

So no new controls or anything? Is there any point in not just buying the original GC game and using that?
No specific details about that, but Famitsu releaselist says that "controls has been tailored so that game can be comfortably played with wiimote". Capcom probably adds few waggle QTE's and calls it a day. Even more sadder is that this probably has lower budget than your standard WiiWare title, because Capcom doesn't even need to port the code (as Cube and Wii share same architecture and devtools).
They port everything to everything.

It probably would've made more sense if they ported this and REmake to the PS3 and 360 though, since those audiences don't have any access to them (whereas Wii owners can buy the GC version).
elkatas: RE Zero didn't have QTE's.
On the other hand, WHAT.
Yup, I know, but I except them to shove some QTEs or gimmicks into it, like the case was with Deadly Silence.
Bah.
They're only doing it to cash in on the RE franchise seeing as it has had some success on the platform. Unless these low-budget ports start affecting the original games that they make, there's no reason to complain. Just don't buy the game.
RE5 development must really be a drain on their coffers.
Or is that just a plain stupid thing to say?
Your avatar never ceases to amaze me.
And yeah, fuck all this fuck.
I'm such a pessimist, but I could see it happening
Oh, well. I never played it. And I did buy the RE 1 port for the Cube, so who knows...
I expect the Wii ports to continue, except for RE 5.
That will be ported to the 360/PS3.
So I guess its not too bad, just a bizarre waste of resources.
But people are saying it's not even going to be any work.
It would cost all of about a tenner, and if it sold more than 5 it would profit.
In fact, I would do that with all Gamecube games.
Edit: Scans -
I never played it, but isn't zero hailed as the absolute worst of the survival-horror RE games? Had I not seen the scans myself, I would have called BS.
This just proves that for every good idea Capcom has (porting RE4 to the Wii for example) there's going to be 3 bad ideas.
If they did this with RE:make or whatever the hell it's called then I'd likely snap it up providing it was budget price.
And my reasoning of buying it over the gc version? I don't have a wavebird and they're bloody difficult to get a hold of. And I don't like wires.
Stupid excuse I know, but I'm amazingly lazy and the convenience of it using the wiimote, even without enhancements, would justify it for me.

yea but expect that to be Pay and Play
on the subject of this, I don't see how this really works its a OG RE game meaning rendered backdrops and tank controls, how is that fun sounding with the Wii at all.
They would be better off putting all 5 GC REgames in a bundle with a GC or classic controller and market it for the wii specifically. And that works with the horrible uncommon RE2-3-CV getting some limelight even if they were just stupid upscaled PS1 ports.
You already played the game, you don't want to buy it again. Then don't! Simple as that.
Clearly Capcom reckons there is a market for this effective reprint. Be they right or wrong, how does it impact you?
O_o
It's like seeing one of your friends trying to drink and drive, and they're picking the worst car to do it in.
I take it you don't know anything about South Park.
Edited with red for rageful truth. We all thought they'd see "Hey, we can make some money here even with ports of old games, let's make an RE4Wii style spinoff to RE5" or something. Intead they said "Hey, we can make money off of ports of old games -let's port EVERYTHING".
Someone at Capcom needs a good, hard, steel-toed kick to the nads.
