PRESS RELEASE: CAPCOM ANNOUNCES NEW RESIDENT EVIL™ WII GAME

Monday, 09 March 11:34

Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Resident Evil: Gaiden Wii™ will be released on the Wii on December 3rd, 2009.

“Wii owners have a special connection to Leon Kennedy, so we wanted them to have the full Leon experience,” said Capcom of America COO Mark Beaumont.“Gaiden is a key element to understanding Leon’s story and we want new fans who may have missed it originally to have a chance to experience it.”

Graphics will not be updated for the game, but new waggle and pointer controls will be added to the game to provide the player with a more immersive experience.Players will target zombies with the pointer to begin battles, and once fights begin waggle will be used to dodge and attack.Screenshots can be found below.

Originally released in 2002, Resident Evil Gaiden™ was released on the Gameboy Color to a warm reception and impressive sales.

More information on Resident Evil Gaiden Wii™ will be revealed in the upcoming months. In the meantime, please visit the official Capcom® press site at www.capcom.com.

My thread on the Ask Capcom board is at 11 pages:

That thread is so full with homoeroticism in only the first page that I mistook the place for GGWeekly. Nyaa

This news kind of irks me for a couple reasons. First, it has Barry in it, and that's just a painful reminder of how Capcom continues to exclude him from the RE canon, despite him being one of the most badass characters. Secondly:

Gaiden is a key element to understanding Leon’s story and we want new fans who may have missed it originally to have a chance to experience it.”

Not really, not unless they're planning on explaining the cliffhanger ending so time soon.

On reflection this game would have been better than the reality.

I'll make some calls and see what I can do.  This would still just be a half-assed remake so I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to get Capcom on board for it.
