Vaccine Will Bring '90s Horror to the Wii U eShop Very Soon

Tank controls are back like it's 1999!

Looks pretty close to the original PS1 games.
I still have the amazing Resi 2 on N64 that I completed recently.

It would be cool if it had a level editor you could upload for friends to try.
Might have a look at it in the future.

@KiWiiU_Freek incredible! I didn't even know RE2 made it to N64. The more you know...

Those graphics are horrific and the stuff of nightmares. Still, graphics aren't everything and it could be interesting. I'll keep an eye on it.

@stipey Yeah, limited numbers unfortunately.
Still have it CIB, love me some retro action.

This could be fun if the controls are not terrible.

I will give this ago. Love residential games. Just got to say wii u is getting some love today

I love 90's survival horror so this could be interesting. It looks like it could use a few more months of development time though. Could still potentially be fun.

Although the Resi influence is obvious, there does seem to be the odd touch of Alone in the Dark and the PlayStation Clock Tower game. Sure, why not?!

I got the Twitter notification and didn't initially see the entire headline, and thought maybe Vaccine is the name of the studio porting 90s Arcade Racer to Switch!

Wow, this looks really good fun

Looks fantastic. There's a game on Steam called Back in 1995 which is also a throwback to PS1 era Resident Evil style games. I bought it ages ago but I can never be bothered to game on my PC in the office.

I'll definitely grab this when it launches.

@KiWiiU_Freek I also collect n64 games and still play them. Lost 3 hour's to snowboard kids the other day. Mega jealous of your snowboard kids 2 though. That game is mega rare in England and I'll likely never get to play it. Real shame games like this never make it to the VC, it's normally just the games you can actually still buy 🤔

Awesome. One thing I notice though is that the letter "in" in the title Vaccine is highlighted. Having title with highlighted letters in title isn't a new thing as I also noticed in Resident Evil 7 the letter "vi" and half of the "l" in the word "Evil" is highlighted to represent the Roman numeral 7 whereas in its Japanese name, Biohazard 7, the angle half of the "z" is highlighted to represent the number 7 as well but what was the point of highlighting "in" in Vaccine?

I'm digging the visuals and the RE style gameplay, though the RPG elements seem a little questionable at face value...

Probably going to book this one

@KiWiiU_Freek it's glorious.

Nice goofy genre fun, and it look like a legitimate challenge as well.

@KiWiiU_Freek Wowww, i so surprised about Starcraft 64 ... i would die without knowing this ...

N64 Resident Evil?!!!!

Why, oh why have Capcom not released them on the Wii U eShop?!!!!

I loved the RE1 port on DS (Resident Evil: Deadly Silence), warts, bad acting, tank controls, and all. I've always wanted to play the original RE2 as I would imagine it to be very similar.

Alone in the Dark (PC) jumped in my mind ...

Omg yessssssss

@BulkSlash I thought of this too exactly .. haven't played it yet but I will eventually. And yes I will be getting Vaccine. I finally got a working solution for extra WiiU storage so I'll be downloading all my backlog including new stuff like this. Really loving my Wii U. I can totally hold onto it this year and ignore Switch until Xmas/Black Friday deals.

I love Resident Evil and this really gives me some strong RE vibes! Looks like a promising throwback to me!

For years I've been wanting to see a retro game like this but inspired by the first Silent Hill, Frankly the concept of a rearranging dungeon would work well with Silent Hill.

@stipey I had it for N64, but it's been a long time and I no longer own it. Pretty much on-par with PS1 if I remember correctly.

If this were a 3DS release (or even a New 3DS exclusive), I'd be all over it! The procedural nature lends itself to on-the-go play, I reckon. Here's hoping that's still a possibility, since I'd definitely grab and play it there.

Ah, look at those awesome blocky minecraft graphics! Awful!

This is actually the first throwback to that era graphics that looks promising. Everything else I have seen was too exact with brutal jaggies and horrible resolution.

I'm getting Alone in the Dark vibes from this, not just RE. But the D&D popups are completely stupid and will ruin the atmosfear. Oh, and was that 1XP for opening a freaking door at the minute mark?

This looks so good!!! Honestly, something about the monsters in the original RE and SH mixed with bad graphics make them look more scary and disturbing

@TerrapinJess The poor old Wii U has always been a bit underrated. It's great to hear you're enjoying yours! 😀

@ULTRA-64 yeah, super expensive here in Australia.
Goes for $1000 upwards, I paid $90!

Love my N64 games.
Currently have over 150 CIB.

@CaptainRainbow

As much as I love some old-school Resident Evil, even back in 1996 tank controls were terrible. I tolerated them because I loved everything else about the series, but damn was I thrilled when RE 4 modernized the controls a bit.

@Gamer83 Actually, RE4, like a lot of games, used tank controls too, it just had a different camera system.

@SeriousSam
Yeah, it modernized them to make them less obnoxious. Didn't explain my point very well.

@KiWiiU_Freek wow, that's ALLOT of games....I'm jealous!! What's the prize game in your collection? Mine is a boxed banjo tooie that's perfect......But no manual 😥
I'm on a big hunt for some transparent n64 stuff right now😍
I'd assumed you'd get sb kids 2 cheaper as it never came out in UK. Just NTSC/aus-pal???

This looks very tempting. A Resident Evil type of game with a randomly generated house? Sounds very fun! The graphics? Nostalgia inducing. Tank controls? No problem, was standard back then.

And oh, I miss my RE2 for N64. One of my games that got lost somehow, somewhere.
And to dive into the N64 nostalgia here.. Man, I always wanted to get StarCraft 64 as well, but the PAL version was only released in Australia, which I still find odd. I never had the chance to find one copy, ever, so I had to left it out of my collection. I had hopes for it to release on Wii or Wii U VC, like Ogre Battle 64 and Sin & Punishment, but oh well. My most valuable N64 game? I don't know, I have mint copies of Killer Instinct Gold, Doom 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Banjo-Tooie, Perfect Dark, Space Station Silicon Valley, Body Harvest, Command & Conquer 64, Excitebike 64, Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage, etc. but are they really rare nowadays? Maybe I should sell some to get SWITCH at launch. ^^

@KidRad I know, I was singing it to Prince's song

@ULTRA-64
My prized game?
No one's ever asked me, a tough question.
I'd have to say ...........Man this is hard....... Probably Starcraft, because it's like new
I actually have about 30 or so like new games, some only played once.
All of my copies of Rare games are mint, my daughter loves Banjo and Diddy Kong Racing
So many great games.
I'll post a link to my collection later if you like.
I'm going for a full collection of CIB 64 games.

This could be interesting.

@KiWiiU_Freek yeah, some kind of link would be cool. I'm not a massive CIB collector like you, I have allot of loose stuff so I can play more otherwise I might have just 3 game's, but mint😂😂. Man, I wish mail order was cheaper from you, I'd be bumming for swaps!!
Strange thing is the only games I collect boxed are RARE(ware) games. I want them all, got allot but I know conker's gonna be pricey 😉

@LemonSlice No, it just means you have control over turning, as opposed to automatically turning to face the direction you're moving in like in the 3D Mario games.

@ULTRA-64
I started with a handful of CIB games and it just grew.
I love Rare's early work, so talented.
You're going for killers not fillers as they say, going for the best, I can relate to that.

Here is the link.
It's not the most recent pics but it's got most of them.
It also has some of my other games for different consoles but Nintendo is my lifeblood.

@SKTTR
Aidyn Chronicles gets really good prices.
I don't have a copy of that but would make you an offer if you really wanted to sell it

@SeriousSam Thanks, I researched the term quite a bit after I posted, hence why I deleted my post.

Resident Evil 0.6.

@stipey And it was a really good conversion for the most part too.

@Churchy Well, all three would be great games to use as reference in designing a classic survival horror title.

Will definitely give this ago.

Intrigued...
