Again...
| 1up wrote: | RE4 Wii, Umbrella Chronicles Revealed
Waggle knife action for the win, apparently.
By Patrick Klepek, 04/04/2007
You don't need to wait until April 12 for Capcom to release new details on how the Umbrella Corporation will be invading Wii, as the pages of Famitsu have revealed early details ahead of schedule, and NeoGAF already has scans and rough translations online.
The pages of Famitsu confirm Resident Evil 4 is being ported to Wii with added Wiimote functionality (i.e. waggle away to swipe the knife at incoming enemies) and likely many of the enhancements and new content created specifically for the PlayStation 2 version. The Wii port is currently schedule for a release on May 31st in Japan.
Of more interest to hardcore fans, however, is Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. Once thought to be an extension of the Resident Evil 4 engine, Famitsu indicates we're getting something more in line with the Resident Evil: Dead Aim spin-off series, where the action takes place on rails and from a first-person perspective. Essentially, Umbrella Chronicles appears to be a high-profile light gun shooter.
That's not necessarily a reason to completely write it off, however, as the storyline will apparently incorporate all the game's favorites -- Chris, Jill, Rebecca, Billy, Wesker -- and revisit a number of classic locations and scenarios to chronicle the Umbrella Corporation's rise and fall. Sounds like a good way to refresh the storyline before Resident Evil 5 -- except this one is a Wii exclusive. |

Well, I already have it on GC, so I'm not gonna go buy RE4 again. But this Umbrella Chronicles may be interesting. I think it'll be a good use of the light gun tech in the Wiimote. |

Even though I'm not a huge RE fan. I might get both of these for the Wii....question though when is Gaiden going to be relased for the vitural console? |

I've been pretty pumped for Umbrella Chronicles and while I have played RE:4 already, I don't own it yet so now might be a good time to pony up : ) |
