A Resident Evil 2 Remake Has Been Confirmed

Without Shinji Mikami, I question if this will be nearly as good as the first REmake

Capcom: Oh erm, Wii U? You can have the N64 port if you want...

Whoever expects this to come to the Wii U after the RE titles announced after Revelations on Wii U, will most likely come out disappointed. I for one don't expect it to come to any Nintendo platform. Not Wii U, not 3DS, and not NX. If even that Mega Man collection game is skipping the Wii U, then there's no hope at all for this one.

Just beat this again on N64 a few months ago...

I really wish Capcom would treat RE series right for once since like, RE4. It's getting ridiculous with the remakes and Revelations 1 and 2.

Bring us back to RE4. Not a clone of RE4, but what RE4 meant to the series in general. We need that moment again.

I'm expecting PS4 and XB1 exclusive with even the N64 original not coming to VC.

"Hoping beyond hope for a Wii U" A Wiiu version? That console missed two of the other remakes,what's so special about this? So i'm hoping for the NX,maybe as a launch title? Oh damn!

Wii U port?
Magic conch says...

Cant just make new residents evil game that doesn't suck instead of all these remakes!

Wait, the platforms haven't been confirmed yet? Hm. I have hope.

I dont believe a wii u port will come unless nintendo pays for the port or something. I do believe the nx could be the system to get the game seeing dragon quest and final fantasy may be on the nx

Generation old games?

This will take TIME

Im pretty sure late 2017, by that time NX will be out and it will depend if the console sold well or not.

If it does, im pretty sure capcom would not let the oportunity to get money untouched lol

2015 is definitely the year of long anticipated games finally being announced. I was expecting this to follow REmake on the Cube but I guess sales weren't as high as they expected.

@Mr_Trill281 wut ? RE2 doesnt have a remake

NIntendo consoles don't deserve this game like the Xbox doesn't deserve Rare Replay.

@Mr_Trill281 the one that they did like 10 times was RE1 lol, that was getting a little out of hands

I love RE2, so if this turns out well, I'll find some way to get it... But I'd really like a Nintendo version lol.

This does not seem like Nintendo news. Maybe with the nx it will but I still don't see even that happening.

Don't hold your breath. Did the Resident Evil HD games come to Nintendo platforms? Or Revelations 2?

This is like that stupid "news" from Square Enix recently, that it's possible a Final Fantasy game could come out on NX (despite not having even started any negotiation about it). It's hardly even worth being called gossip.

@ejamer Howis that stupid ? if NX sells well enough dont you think companies will bring their games to it ? the reason because neither RE game or other games came to the WiiU was because it sold really bad

Like i said a few weeks ago somewhere i cant remember, the wii sold that well that some companies even adapated their games for the wii hardware (Activision), even thou they were "next gen" exclusives.

Same will happen with the NX if it does well.

Companies like money (when money > investment) they dont care about which console gives them money as long as its worth it.

Short answer: No
Long Answer: No

Also, comming from Capcom, i guess this "remake" will just be an upscaled DreamCast version
There is no way that Capcom might even consider to put effort into any game anymore.

No shot for Nintendo system

Yeah I don't think we will see this on Nintendo platforms. By the time this will come out I'll surely have a console to play it with so I'm not worried. Can't wait though, I have never played this one which is kinda shameful.

These remakes are paving the way for a reboot. I doubt Capcom would be willing to spend money on a Wii U version of anything other than VC games.

I hope they find a way to make the puzzles make sense. I always thought RE2's puzzles were a bit too haunted housey to be found in a Police Station

Yeah can't see it happening given the last couple RE games skipping the system.

Wii U? Not a chance in hell. NX? Maybe.

Not holding my breath folks.

@Faruko
It's "stupid" because this isn't really news. It's reporting on something that really doesn't even deserve to be called speculation yet.

Companies might talking about "we want to bring our games to that platform" build hype, but until they have any information about NX and deals in place with Nintendo, it's all empty marketing talk - not worth the ether it's virtually printed on.

It'll probably be ps4 and x1 keep going though lol

According to my Awesome Inside Sources, the Resi 2 remake will be on PC, Xbone and PS4. It's not coming to Wii U but will arrive on NX eight months after the other versions. It'll be the same as the Xbone/PS4 release but with added mini-games that make use of the NX's groinal attachment.

I bet one of his competitors convinced him to do the tshirt thing.

The remakes are becoming a plague... They just keep multiplying. It seems to me that people are running out of ideas.

Ya this is good news and all, but why report on a Nintendo site? Wii U isn't gonna get it, neither is NX (cause it's too far). And we all know it.

I wish they would give me the oprtion to buy Nintendo version if they did I would just to tell them I want to see them support nintendo

@ikki5 Capcom can't afford to take major risks, and most of the bigger games have been backed by one of the platform holders. That's why they're focusing on remasters. However, it's interesting that they appear to be able to fund this considering it has to be an actual remake built from the ground up rather than a simple remaster.

Wii U couldn't get the Nintendo port of RE Remake and now Zero. This won't come to Wii U,but maybe NX???

Second favorite RE right behind RE4. I would welcome this with open arms.

I'd be all over it. Not gonna happen. And I'm not going to buy the Sony or Microsoft systems. Too bad that Capcom doesn't want my dollar.

I think there are some chances for NX.

Would be cool to get the N64 version of RE2 as a Virtual Console release. Of course Nintendo and Capcom wouldn't do that.

Not getting my hopes up for a Wii U version, but i'll definitely get it on PS4. My second favorite RE game, and the very first I played.

@bezerker99 Well Nintendo doesn't even want to release Zero Mission in NA...

Would you believe I've never played RE2? So this remake has me a little excited.

Resident Evil 1 and 2 are probably the best Resident Evil games yet and we have been dreaming for REmake 2 for years... Awesome news.

About the Wii U version, I don't think we can expect any more Wii U games except for a few more Nintendo-paid ones.

Fatal Frame 5 and now Resident Evil 2 Remake. I'm so glad that survival horror is still here.

I replayed RE2 so much.
And Code Veronica.
And RE4.

I did play the first one a lot.
Not interested in 3.
5 etc... meh. Don't care.
2 was so much fun, I'd love it on my 3DS.

@Nintenjoe64 These remakes are paving the way for a reboot....

Do you think they would do a remake of re4? Like a full rebuild in a fancy new engine with new side stories too? That's my fave game out of the franchise and favourite game ever.

Screw the original RE die hards lol

Even though I love the every living crap out of my Wii U, it basically dead at this point. There is no way the Wii U going to get anymore third parties at this point with out paying the developers to do so, not only that but most developers wouldn't even accept it because most people that own a Wii U don't buy third party games for it so there will barely be a profit from it. Sorry to all those hardcore Nintendo fans and Wii U owners, that just the sad truth really. If anything this will come on the NX, as there has been so much news about games being ported on it lately and it probably going to replace the Wii U.

This will not be on Wii u or Nx period.

I've played 4 and never found another that I liked, so probably not. I'll just finish with 4

Well the NX launch will be even better with this game. I absolutely loved Revalations and am hoping for more RE on Nintendo Platforms.

@Einherjar So, Monster Hunter IV and Street Fighter V don't exist? Because those games look like some serious effort to make.

I understand its popular to hate on Capcom and I agree they have made some boneheaded decisions, but they can still put out some amazing games.

Which is more then could be said for Konami or Sega.

@IceClimbers It isn't just Capcom though, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, plus a few others making remakes.

@gatorboi352 I personally liked the direction they went with Revelations and Revelations 2, far from what happened with 5 and 6.

I thought it might have been April fools day when I first saw this article! It's about time! I'm pretty confident the NX will get it. But I am 100% sure this is not coming to Wii U. Are you serious? "Hoping beyond hope". That's right!

@Caryslan
Monster Hunter is Capcom's cash cow so they have to put some effort into it.

I can understand not bringing retail releases to Wii U but not these digital 'remasters' (aka lazy upscaled ports), especially as the RE series has sold fairly well on Nintendo platforms in the past. Not that it matters much to me as aside from Monster Hunter Capcom doesn't release many decent games anymore.

@primeris If the first revelations sold decent numbers on 3ds and Wii U then all these re-makes wouldn't be skipping nintendo platforms.

No need to blame Capcom for weak sales on nintendo system's.

I'm slow.
I even forgot I had Revelations and Mercenaries on my system. I have actually not played Revelations yet. Literally NIB in its folder since my last system transfer.
I was not impressed with the demo.
How would it rate compared to RE2?
Because I replayed that one like I did Zelda OOT.

I don't see this coming to a Nintendo Console, so I'll take my chances with the Xbox One.

@primeris I enjoy re2 more. It's difficult to compare both games, as they control differently. I thought revelations was better than re5, but not as good as re4.

Sigh... so I guess I'm the only one having at least a little hope for this game gracing the Wii U?

@Caryslan
And even Sega has Sonic All Stars Transformed, which is by all counts a VERY good game.

Can't think of any others but I'm sure there's a few. Bayonetta I guess, since they own the IP.

Wii U? Seriously? Did you really consider this possibility when writing this article?

@CaPPa: its a remake(not an upscaled port), not a remaster. (upscaled port)

Coming never to a Nintendo console near you!

Nah.

Capcom are rubbish now so couldn't care less

@Caryslan Im sorry, as much as i loke both franchises, but they are a serious copy/paste job. Sure, innovation lies in details and its no CoD Job, but its not the kind of "effort" i was talking about.

Well, actually, its exactly the kind of effort im talking about in that im certain that this is just a shinier port untill i see some gameplay footage that proofs me wrong.

Its Capcoms "never stray too far from the beaten path" mentality, wich was perfectly fine back in the day, when it produced stellar sequels AND new and exciting games. But just samey sequels gets a bit old after a while.

@Tubalcain AND its Capcom. Taking what they say at face value is like believing the easter bunny exists.

I'd happiliy settle for the N64 port, however I own Resi 2 on Dreamcast and gamecube.I must have sold my N64 copy during the woeful lull of 2001 , one of the worst years to be a Nintendo gamer, even GBA was underwhelming at the time, although I did enjoy Doom on the go (plasma gun alone makes that game).
Nintendo never learned from that lull, they let the same thing happen with Wii an then didn't even market Wii U well at all (similar to GC after N64).

I don't know what to think about this game,

But that shirt tho~

Good announcement, although I haven't played Resident Evil Zero yet so maybe I'll hunt down the Gamecube version - I like to play games with the Gamecube controller.

@Einherjar well if you prefer to see it that way then thats your decision. Have at it

This doesn't sound like news for a Nintendo site.

@ejamer How do we know Nintendo have not already approached Capcom, and other Devs, with the specs of "NX"? This is the time for them to be doing just that. Not wait until the reveal next year, and then start thinking about approaching Devs.

@akaDv8R Square Enix rep was quoted as saying no negotiations had even taken place. But hey, believe whatever you want.

You know, when you possess other consoles besides just Nintendo ones you don't have to hope beyond hope that every third-party game might somehow make it to the one console that you own. You can just play every game and not have to come here and complain how all these evil developers are being mean by not bringing their games to Nintendo systems.

@Mr_Trill281 woo go 'stros

@Superryanworld Well, I replayed RE4 a lot, and I'm not drawn to RE5 even a little bit. So deciding the (non)release of the remake of an epic game based on the poor sales of a mediocre game... I'd be happy to have a barebones port of RE2 in 3D.

I hated Resident Evil 2. Sorry.
