Wii U Resident Evil: Revelations To Feature Off-Screen Play and Pro Controller Support

I'm so dissapointed.
Capcom doesn´t know what means word "Exclusive".
They should lower prize, not bringing game to other platform.
Biggest problem is, that RE6 is no more like original series and sales are poor.

What is going on here?

Upscaled 3DS game ports are now passing for next-gen home console experiences...

To be fair though, the screens do look nice and I think I'd actually rather play this as a Resident Evil game than the likes of RE6.

@Koapa This is RE:Revelations, not RE6. It's better than RE6.

The visuals don't look as improved as I would have hoped.. It's nice that they're adding some GamePad features though. But it doesn't seem like there's enough content to warrant another purchase.

The gun mechanics will stay the same.
60e price tag.
upscaled graphics, but still no 1080p.
This will be the next Case west.
Metascore 30/100

Calling all of it now.

I'm just hoping for some online play and a couple extra chapters and it'll be a day one purchase for me.

Am sorry but i wont buying this as already got 3DS version! and new features aside its still same game! I love 3DS version so much Ive played for about 131 hours on game

@gaDronilDdos
It's the best RE game since 4, don't get why it'd get 30/100 on MC.

@Will-75
The 3DS version already has online play and I seriously doubt they'd take away content.

Who wants to put money down that nintendo are working their fingers to the bone to get there big hitters out sooner than expected in light of all this negative crap about wii u and all these ports.

@Koapa Yup, 5 million sales is poor.

Yep, Nintendo's Wii U has native 1080p running but developers are downscaling to 720 because they ported console versions without re-texturing.
Probably we can tell the true detail on screen with Lego City Undercover.

I'm holding out on the 3DS version now so I can get this. Can't wait!

RE Revelations is a good and fan game but I strongly disagree on the argument that it is better than RE6 or that it is the best game since RE4.

RER feels and plays like a watered down port of the big counterparts. Surely is visually stunning but by no means it is better that RE6.

I may get a home version (PS3) if it is clearly a 1080 port and it is not full retail priced (60 euros).

Might trade in my 3DS version now for the grand sum of £2.

It is a better game than RE6 or RE5, it's not watered down at all and is more of a full experience than either 5 or 6. Plus hard mode is actually hard.

5 million sales is very poor for a main game in the Resident Evil series spread over 2 systems with a massive install base that would only cover the coffee and biscuit expenses for the employee lounge.

I truly hope aside from the gamepad features they also allow the nunchuk feature because it was awesome in RE4 but i need to see more b4 i make my decision to by this one especially since ZombieU still has me in its clutches…

I won't be getting this... But not because of some way that the game lacks. Revelations is my fave of the series so far. I love the episodic structure of the story (the least cheesy one so far) and the sweet balance they hit between horror and gunplay.
I just don't see what sells this to someone who already adores the 3DS version.

@Aviator
To be fair, that game was poor quality to alot who played it. It sold very badly in the heart of fans. Haha. I mean RE6 BTW. I know plenty of people who bought it, and played it for 5 minutes and set it down. Some were more brave a tried to finish it.
If you don't have it, get this one for whatever console you have. Wii U versions of game are my top priority.

Think I'll grab this on day one!

by far the better direction for the series over 5 and 6. love this game on 3ds and more people should experience it. i may even snag a wii u copy if the timing is right.

@Koapa

This game is way better than Re6,
this game is actually going back to its scary roots.

I wish the Wii U version would feature pointer controls..

You know, I might actually buy this instead of the PS3 version. The enhancements that is in this port and the simple fact that the Wii U version likely won't have an online pass (which means I can buy the game used if I want to) makes this one one of the few times that the Wii U version might actually be a better purchase.

I still need to get a Wii U first...

Off Screen Play? This makes me want the Wii U version even more now just announce that SINCE Wii U has offscreen that means 2 people can play on one console and I will be pleased. :3

lol its 50 rupees guys not 60

I don't care about boring Pro Controller support, but fine for those who can't play without . Hopefully there will be Nunchuck + Wiimote support, the best, relaxing, realistic and funny way to control a game. Game publishers should realise that many customers won't buy again a game if the right control for them isn't supported..

I'd also love Wii-mote and Nunchuck controls!

played through on 3ds so i will not bother with this,am playing res 4 which is a lot cheaper and the last great res game.on the xbox for just shy of 15 notes bet this games about 50 think they see folk coming with these prices on eshop 100.

@belmont it is the best RE game since RE4~

i played the PS3 version of RE6 when it came out because my friend got it, the presentation was good, the story good, the gameplay... -twiddles my fingers- unless you like having quicktime events everytime you stumble too close to a zombie ((literally every 2 seconds especially during ambushes)) then its definitely the game for you, RE6 was the first game to truely frustrate me in years to be honest, and the only time i enjoyed it was during the cutscenes..

Revelations on the other hand made me feel like I was playing a original RE game with RE4/5 gameplay, which was great in my opinion, and unlike RE6 the gameplay in Revelations is addictive and barely if ever becomes frustrating (i even found the swimming levels to be fun).

so in the end i probably won't get the Wii U version for awhile due to the fact that I have it on the 3DS~ but to me Revelations is the better game of the two, especially in the gameplay department~

That's neat and everything, but I still don't like that they are porting this to consoles, making the 3DS version completely obsolete. Thank you Capcom, for making the people who bought the 3DS version feel like they wasted their time and money. Thank you.

If they got time to make Resident Evil : Revelations on Wii U then I don't see why it should be a problem to make RE6 on Wii U as well -_-

ive got a feeling a 3d gamepad will get a release just after this goes out,like the add on stick when this came out on the 3ds.

@Ryno_Choryzo Completely agree with you on those pointer controls. I'm not shooting at my screen without my Wiimote since Metroid Prime Trilogy.
(Hell that Meta-Ridley was real.)

@Knux In the end I feel your pain for not having a Wii U. Hopefully you'll get one soon.

I'm glad somebody is considering to make a proper port for the Wii U version. I've had this following idea for a long time but I know they won't implement it: the ability to play with the Wiimote while being able to switch between pointing to the TV and pointing to the GamePad.
It's basically playing on the TV screen with the Wiimote while having the GamePad on its stand visible at all times next to you (on the coffee table or something). The TV screen is seamless with no HUD whatsover: it's all on the GamePad with the inventory. And then, by just pressing a button (like C on the Nunchuck), pointer priority is switched to the GamePad, and you're free to just point on your inventory to choose whatever weapon you may need, and see it on the big screen. You could also manipulate the map that way without even touching the screen...

I honestly think that IS the future and hopefully Retro is working on this right now on the next iteration of Metroid Prime, but a guy can dream...

@NiBar I SWEAR those Wiimote + Nunchuck controls are SOOOOO RELAXING.

I would get a WiiU just to play Revelations again if it had co-op for campaign mode...

@Lilifish
That would be great stuff.
