With Halloween creeping closer Nintendo is doing its bit, particularly through the eShop, to get us in the mood. It now turns out that 29th October will have a double whammy for Wii U owners in Europe - not only will Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water finally arrive, but Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition will also land on the eShop.
Though Wii games typically cost €19.99 / £17.99 in Europe, there'll be a 25% discount until 5th November, giving gamers plenty of time to get it for less.
Resident Evil 4 is regarded by some as the best in the franchise, and also a fantastic game outright. It revolutionised the series when it first arrived on GameCube, and this Wii version includes Wii Remote pointer support and the Separate Ways add-on that was previously a PS2 exclusive. We absolutely loved it in our review and have praised it in various articles over the years.
There's no news of a North American release as yet, but hopefully it's coming.
So, how many of you in Europe are planning to pick this up?

I still have my GameCube copy,but not my favorite RE game. I rather play with the GameCube controls,works better with me
5 bucks says North America won't get it.
America, plz?
I've already played and finished the PC version long ago. I'm not sure if I'll get the Wii version, I heard it's better control wise?
'merica!
@grumblebuzzz
Are you sure? It's Capcom not Nintendo.
@Splatburst I'm a big fan of the Remote controls, personally, they work well and are nice and accurate.
@ThomasBW84
Sold!
@ThomasBW84
I just got this on PC as it was included in the Capcom Humble Bundle, but I'm still thinking my next play through will be on Wii for those controls!
Nahhhhh!! Maybe Project Zero 2 Wii Edition would have been better for me. But Kudos to Capcom for creating a awesome version of Resident Evil 4 loved the Wii Mote Aiming
Please NoA bring this to us too! Along with FF2 Crimson Butterfly. But I feel like the sub title is missing the "Howdy Stranger!"
Not worth £18 when physical copies are half that.
I remember getting this on Wii just to see what all the fuss was about. I recall near the beginning of the game getting to an area that contained a few buildings, then zombie monster bad guy whatevers starting attacking me from every direction, tried running inside, outside, up stairs, everywhere, shooting everything, but all I kept doing was dieing. Probably traded it in very soon after that.
Wouldn't mind trying it out now to see what it's like, but its $10 used at Gamestop, $12.50 new on Amazon, so I wouldn't pay the $15/20 asking price. Would be nice to see another Wii download in the US though, I feel like we're missing a couple.
This game made me fall in love with the Wii Remote and with gaming again. The highlight of the Wii for me, without a doubt, one of the best ever.
Physical copies of that game are incredibly cheap. Don't pay their silly price people!
@Cloud02 i also hope to see that Fatal Frame 2 Wii edition in eshop. Great game.
I've got it on disc, so I'll be sticking with that.
Of course if I want to play I'll use my disc, but it's good for anybody that has not played it yet. I think the Wii Remote works perfectly here.
Capcom being those that'll oversell their franchises with remakes and re-releases .. if there's a dollar to be made it'll be in NA in no time. This is Capcom, not Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't seem to want our money in NA, but Capcom has no problem with it
Well this is a surprise. Not only the 1st 3rd Party Wii game on the eShop, but a RE game at that. Even after they did not give us Revelations 2 or the remasters of 1 and Zero.
I guess this means the N64 RE2, along with the other Wii REs are more then possible....
Humble Bundle has the best deal for this game on PC right now. Along with several other Capcom games. 10 games plus a DLC for $15.
So no Metroid Zero Mission, no Wild Gunman, and no RE4 for NA. Loverly~!!!
I heard the Wii version is pretty good with the motion controls. It's a little bit more accurate to point and shoot then move a recticle with a control stick and shoot.
I am playing it now on my Wii U and have gone through it multiple times over the years since getting it when it first came out on the Wii.
My advice though is to find a physical copy. I got one for about £5 recently, which is far better than £17.99 on the eshop.
EXCELLENT!!!
Will be getting this for sure
I wonder if it will have gamepad support or just remote only either way its still quality getting this game as Wii VC download for Halloween. For me this is the best Resi game made before they went all out action.
@rjejr That was definitely one of the harder parts but there is plenty more but maybe not quite that hard. Btw, that was a good 8 to 10 hours in depending on how you play.
@everyone saying it's not worth it even at that price don't forget off tv play ftw! That alone could get people to jump in the price!
It's priced a little steep, you could get this in CEX for a lot less
One of my all-time favorites! Revelations is also discounted so now is a good time to check out some of the best games in the series. I recommend both.
North America won't get it. Nintendo of America couldn't even get their heads out of there @sses long enough to capitalize on the Back to the Future event... because for whatever insane reason, they really have stopped giving a crap about their American fanbase... or American customers in general. They keep passing on doing anything for the customers most responsible for keeping the Wii U and the company in general afloat. I don't get it. 1st world problems to be sure, but as a Nintendo fan and someone who has spent entirely too much money on Nintendo product it really is annoying and disappointing. My purchases and support has slowed tremendously as a result. Couple that with the almost NA exclusive Amiibo debacle, exclusives that no one wants to be exclusive (Nintendo gave lip service to this and said they understood... and then promptly announce MORE exclusives - Complete fail) and supply manipulations and it's enough to make you put you gaming dollars elsewhere.
Yup. Grumpy and annoyed.
I'll be biting. Quite good with Revelations being £7.99 until the same date too. The whole eshop playing disquieting, atmospheric Ocarina of Time music is also a nice touch.
@rjejr honestly i thought the accuracy of the wiimote was awesome! but at a nice low price maybe it will entice others to get it...since we didnt even get Revelations 2
@EllenJMiller same here my friend. i have the GCN and Wii version so i have no reason to buy it again
I hope NoA brings this over!
I still have the gamecube version.
I freaking love this game. The Red 9 and Broken Butterfly are my all time favorite weapons from any game.
I'll buy it at a reasonable price!
Maybe...if it was HD with motion controls otherwise Capcom is wasting their time.
(wish, i could live in Europe ) Oh uh, I mean, NOA well give me something awesome!
Well if I really wanted to have this game I could buy it used for half the price.
Best game ever! I'll quadruple dip!
I actually own in on the PS2, but i stoped mid play because of others and now it's been so long. I want to check out the motion controls, so i'll probably buy this.
I have the Wii Disc, but I am tempted with off TV play
Oh I wish they would bring project zero 4 English translate also, since project zero 5 is out Halloween too.
RE4 on Wii had Classic Controller support, right? If I recall right, that means this game could be played gamepad-only, with the gamepad's buttons, the way Pandora's Tower can. Sounds pretty appealing to me.
OK, now that I've gotten my first comment out of the way......This game is a LOT of fun!!! Makes me want to put some batteries in my Wii Mote and fire this sucker up when I get home tonight! Perfect for Halloween!!
And its most likely the incomplete version, missing all the extra modes...again...
@Einherjar
The Wii U version had the extra modes and levels, Unless more were added after the PS2 version again.
But this is not a good deal as you can get the HD vesion on the PSN. Though if the controls are what matter most to you they are more fun imo.
That just reminded me that I have the gamecube, Wii and PSN version. I haven't played the PSN version but I will eventually.
@Tsusasi Finally someone gets it.
Hopefully next week it comes to NA too. Would be kind of cool if Konami re releases Silent Hill Shattered Memories. Actually a pretty decent Halloween for Nintendo gamers
Awesome. I will be picking this up next week. This game for me really upped the survival genre's action. Not played it with the remote so looking forward to that. Is the mercenaries game in the Wii version?
@Spoony_Tech 8-10 hours? I was thinking first play thru, opening scene, maybe 45 minutes. Your way makes more sense though, it was pretty rocking. And 8 years ago.
"Though Wii games typically cost €19.99 / £17.99 in Europe"...and yet it can be bought for less than £10 on a popular auction site.
The price of Wii retail games on the Wii U eShop is baffling.
Even if NA gets it, I would have prefered the HD remake they made on PC on the Wii U, and from what I heard Wii mote support would be awesome.
I might get this, I rented Revalations a few months ago and I loved it and plan on buying it if it gets discounted for Halloween.
Not fussed. Pointer means needing TV and I'm much more interested in just using gamepad. Already played RE4 to death on GCN, Wii and 360.
Would love RE5 and / or 6 though...
@DiscoGentleman
I assume it will remind me of Twighlight Princess on the big tv, which was bad.
@ThomasBW84 While you're busy covering Halloween Nintneod has a gift guide page up for the holiday holidays. It's kind of kid oriented like the "Play" website but I'm a holidays kind of guy. It even generates a cute wish list. IT's NOA so feel free to skip it.
http://happyholidays.nintendo.com/
I have it on GameCube. I have it on Wii. I'm still scared of chainsaws.
Seriously though I can't bring myself to buying an old Wii U game for $20. They should be $10. Then I would buy them all even if I already own them.
This edition has gamepad support and game cube controller support as well as wii mote.
Restore points, and well as save points.
£13.50 with discount is pricy but might be worth it for some people!
@Hero-of-WiiU as far as I know in the UK the capcom discounts for Halloween are revalations, mercenaries, RE4
One of my all time favourite games... With gamepad controls....
I already own this twice and it's cheaper on every other format...
I wish they'd put RE2 on the VC instead!
@rjejr I played that first bit over and over, (GameCube version), I had never experienced anything like it before at the time! Scared the life outta me, amazing experience! One of my favourite games of all time, particularly the Wii version, incredible
@DarkJamD I would buy that too.
I've had the Wii version for years but never played it. Looks like I know what my next game is going to be.
@rjejr nah you're right, it's very early on, the bit you're talking about. When you first step in to the village, you get attacked, it's pretty frantic, getting chased through the buildings, even on to the roof! Survive long enough and a bell tolls and they all back off. Amazing game
@SetupDisk If you mean the Wii version, no it did not. At least not the german version, where Capcom was too lazy to give an updated copy to the USK and just one without Mercs and the Ada campagne.
And that was the case for the PS2, Wii, PC and PS3 versions.
I had to order mine from austria (as usual with these type of games) to get an updated version.
Bought this used for £3.50 yesterday weirdly so no need to download for me at a ridiculous price.
@Lord does the standard disk version have pro controller support? In case I don't gel with the pointing....
@ULTRA-64 I thought it had classic support. Is there an option in the settings, years since played, Nintendo EShop lists it as full controller support but in the same breath does not confirm.
Pure bliss. Still my favorite rendition. I'm jealous.
Europe is getting all the cool shizz, wake up Noa, can we have this and Metroid Zero Mission already???
@ULTRA-64 It did have classic controller support. Should be playable on the GamePad.
I pre-ordered it on GCN. I pre-oredered it on Wii (it came out on my birthday). And I will get this as well IF it has Off-Tv Play with Gamepad controls and if it is released here in the States.
I know that everyone is complaining about paying the money for this. Very rarely do I get to play, though, because I do not play violent games around my kids. Being able to 'secretly' enjoy RE4 on my Gamepad would be amazing.
I wonder if this is an attempt by Capcom to gauge interest in Resident Evil and M-rated 3rd party support on Nintendo consoles?
For those who want M-rated 3rd party support, now is the time to make your voice heard and by RE4 on the eShop to tell 3rd parties that there is a market for M-ratedg games on Nintendo consoles.
I have RE4 on: cube,Wii,ps2,PS3,360 so I think I'm covered but NOA NEEDS TO GET THEIR HEADS OUT THEIR ASSES and bring some of these games to the States!!
Jeez the last 4 weeks Europe vc has been great and here it's still sucking ass with a lousy 1 vc game a week!!!! You're fired Reggie!!
@joey302
Many of those are 3rd party games.
3rd parties have to submit them to NoA for release on the NA VC.
NoA cannot release them without 3rd party permission.
@Xenocity yea but Nintendo does all the labor of preparing them for gamepad use etc etc. but aside from that they're obviously ready to go if Nintendo of Europe and Japan are posting them! Why hasn't NOA given us any turbographx 16 games while Japan has 35 or so?? NOA has not supported the USA like the other regions!! And I think that's just horrible considering the US their biggest market!
@joey302
Nintendo of America doesn't have the North American rights.
Just because a game appears on one territory's eShop, doesn't mean it's been approved or licensed for the other territories.
It's up to Konami to get Turbo Graphx 16 games rated to ESRB for North America and submit them to Nintendo for release on the North American VC.
Same goes for the other 3rd parties.
Nintendo cannot force them to license their games for North American VC.
3rd parties aren't big on doing eShop licenses, because they'd rather license them per system.
All the Wii U VC games licensed for the eShop, which the NX will use, so they won't have to go through process again.
This is what is holding up VC games along with the costs of ratings (as I have posted the whole info on thread in the news forum).
It could be worse, PS4 is just getting their first classic PS1 game on PSN soon and it is FFVII (PS1) for $16.
There literally aren't any classic games and system on PSN for PS4 yet.
The same issues that are the sticking point for Wii U/eShop VC releases are also holding back PS4(and on) releases too.
I understand the whole territory thing. Why would Konami release T16 games there and not here? Of course Nintendo can't force them. But NOA not being aggressive with the vc service. It's a squandered opportunity IMO! I thought that the Wii u vc would expand greatly on what the Wii had but it's been so much worse!
As far as these vc purchases carrying over to the NX I haven't read that anywhere on any site so I hope you're right! You wanna tell me NOA has been drip feeding us vc games for the last 2 years so that when they get the NX out the vc service will explode then I guess if you're right I'll have to continue to monitor my patience! But lemme ask you this when you talk about regions and copyrights: where's wild gunman, Hogans alley, star tropics, wave race 64, f-zero 64, Mario party 1,2,3- Pokemon snap, the mission gba metroid game that's mentioned here every single Thursday, the NINTENDO brand Wii games that everyone else has?? I didn't mention quite a few others! These are Nintendo owned franchises and they're NOT here! I understand certain logistics therein but I'm sorry no one can convince me that the people at the helm at NOA handling these weekly vc releases (release- singular) aren't asleep at the switch or don't have the first clue what we want. Last week they gave us GBA super ghouls n ghosts?!? Why would they choose that with the superior SNES version already long available? How about a little something fresh and different? Get aggressive and spend the money to get 3rd parties more interested in this service! Sega was all over the Wii but the Wii u they have completely ignored. Of course I understand there's no system sales comparison between the two, but if I'm Sega I'm all over the Wii u knowing that there isn't that much competition! Genesis- master system- Sega cd- dreamcast- game gear. I could go on and on! Where is the VIRTUAL CONSOLE ARCADE games they started on the Wii? There was 21 of them the Wii in Japan has 78! There are thousands of them to be had! Atari - Sega- Taito- Konami- Namco- Atlus- Capcom- Midway/Warner Bros-Tecmo- data east-SNK. Hey how bout Nintendo look into getting the rights to the excellent Popeye arcade game they made in '81? Why? Cause they don't wanna invest in it! It's whatever is easy and cheap for them and this a company with $15 billion in the bank!!
Cmon man Nintendo tanking it bad here and they started this vc service & made many fans love it and now they need to go all the way with it!! Not have us dream of what could be or constantly say "ok next Thursday" over and over!! Again I hope you're right about this service being WAY better on the NX! They definitely need to be more aggressive and creative with it! I hope they're gearing up for it!! Sorry bout the long rant!😊😡
@Nintenjoe64 the most important thing to take from this is capcom is supporting the Wii vc. I can't wait for zack and wiki which costs between 50 and 75 bucks here in the states.
I've been hoping that capcom would put these on the Wii U VC, if nothing else as a compromise for Nintendo based fans not getting HD remakes...but I'm still hoping for Okami
@millarrp now that they are supporting Wii vc that's pretty much a definitely. As much as nl users crap on capcom they have done a wonderful job with the wiiu vc
@joey302
Obviously Konami doesn't think it is worth releasing TG16 games in North America at the moment out side of Bonks Adventure. They really have no interest in Hudson's properties.
The problem is most 3rd parties do not want to license their games for the eShop because they feel it gives Nintendo full control to release those games on any platform that uses the eShop.
3rd parties do not want grant Nintendo this control in Europe and in North America.
3rd parties don't want to be bothered to release their games on the eShop because they can sell them for higher else where.
Also they are feeling burned from the Wii VC, because it gave Nintendo too much power to impose pricing.
Why release a retro title on the eShop giving Nintendo full rights to make it compatible on all hardware going forward, when you can remaster the game and sell it for more money and higher sales?
Or why bother when you can remake the game in HD and charge even more money?
Sega has gone on record saying they have no plans to release their retro titles and systems on the VC eShop, because they don't there is enough money in it.
Square has no plans to support the VC eShop, because they claim there is more money to be made in remaking and remastering their old titles.
You literally are being charged $10-$20 on Steam and mobile for Square's old games. They are charging PS4 users $15.99 to buy FFVII (PS1) for their PS4s.
If they supported the VC eShop, they could only charge $5 for NES, $8 for SNES, $10 for handhelds.
Etc...
If Nintendo decides to get aggressive with 3rd parties, they will all leave once again just like they did on N64.
3rd parties don't want to deal with aggressive and forceful Nintendo.
@millarrp
The reason why Wii U isn't getting Capcom and other HD remakes is due to the Wii's BC.
@faint - "I can't wait for zack and wiki which costs between 50 and 75 bucks here in the states."
Where did you get that estimate from? Zack & Wiki goes for $12 - $20 complete on Ebay unless you are going for factory sealed.
@MortalKombat2007 I got a factory sealed copy of that bad boy!😜
Does this include the Aussie/NZ eshop as well???
Wiiremote >>>>>>>>>>>> Normal Controls when we talk about RE 4.
Ooh, not only do you get Xeboblade Chronicles, but you get Resident Evil 4 too!!!!!! YOU DARN-TOOTHIN' EUROPEANS!
@Xenocity if Konami had no interest in Hudson properties then what in the world did they buy them for when Hudson went defunct ?? Just to own them? Publish them!
As far as other 3rd parties go what other platforms do you speak of besides Wii u and 3DS (which hasn't had vc games since February!) in which Nintendo would have full control over other companies' IPs? And while I do agree these 3rd parties should be able to set their own prices like Nintendo allows the Indies to do, if these same companies feel they can get more money elsewhere then where are they and what platforms are these games on? Certainly not ps4 or xone that's for sure! And I only see a scant few classics here and there remastered or in HD so that also is not being pursued vigorously either. Nor could it be a valid reason for the lack of participation with this service. and when they do happen I buy em.
And I think Sega missed out on some good coin being Wii u owners are starving for games! With the mountain of classics they're sitting on? Wow!
And while I read about Squares' plans, they already have dozens of RPGs on the Wii u vc in Japan- most of them already translated in English and were very popular here in the states! Let me just add that Square also owns the Taito classics(space invaders, operation wolf, bubble bobble, rainbow islands, etc etc) and some of these popular classics are ALSO available on Japan's Wii u!!
Finally, when I speak of Nintendo getting aggressive I don't mean in a crude business way like back in the nes days. That would certainly drive 3rd parties away and it did then when the Genesis caught fire. I'm talking about securing content the way Sony and Microsoft do! Exclusives- timed exclusives. Etc. I mean they have their arms wide open welcoming indie publishers (thank god or the Wii u would have nothing!) and so they same should apply with the publishers on the vc service!
You also didn't offer any response about the group of NINTENDO owned games I mentioned that are STILL not available on the the Wii u eshop! There's just no excuse for them not being out! None! It's pure laziness and incompetence on Nintendo's part that this is happening!
Look I love Nintendo from day 1 since 1985 but please stop defending them. They are losing customers in droves on a daily basis!! They don't need you or anyone else to make excuses for them!
And Don't even get me started on the retail side of it. One major Wii u retail release every 2-4 months is totally inexcusable! Thx
My favorite game ever on the Gamepad? Yes please! Hopefully it comes to America, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
@MortalKombat2007 that is what I ment. I haven't looked into used prices. They typically are not that far off for recent rare materials. I will look into your claims tho
@Xenocity square has released quite a few vc games on the wiiu in Japan where they have also released their mobile ports soooo you wrong in that regard.
Ok I dont even know how many rimes I have already bought this game (PS3, Gamecube, Wii) Really wish we would get the HD version though, but I might buy it one more time.
Cool, hopefully we get it soon in the states; I've only played the GCN version and would like to try the wii controls. Plus it's been like 10 years so I'll have fresh eyes.
Is Nintendo no longer doing their 50% off for the first week deals? If not, then just go out and buy Resident Evil 4 at a used game store. There are tons of them and the most expensive I've ever seen them at is 20 bucks with the average being about 12.
NoE > NoA
@Einherjar
It had the Ada campaign in NA and I am thinking mercs but I am not sure,
My favorite version. The motion controls worked very well in this game.
@joey302 I think you summed that up well. I'm really hoping VC gets a complete overhaul with Nintendo's next console. I'd also like to see a more aggressive Nintendo as well. Howard Lincoln did more for NOA than Reggie ever will.
RE4 for Wii was the definitive version.
I would not bother playing it on PC.
It could be argued this was the pinnacle of the RE series.
Now, you can buy a second hand Wii and copy of RE4 for the price of a new game.
And, you haven't really played RE4 unless you have a proper Wiimote gun such as the Blaze Scorpion Vii. Good luck finding one now.
@Superryanworld thank you brother! I mean I know damn well I'm not the only one who sees this!! Yes Reggie really annoys me when he says "we have a great line up of content coming" uh yea 1 game every 3-4 months? Please! That's ridiculous and Reggie always tries to play it off like all is ok and speaks in denial! I feel bad for gamers that only have a Wii u and not at least have a ps4 or Xbox parked next to it jeez!
And what really gets me is sites like this and ign ....nobody ever asks him why the vc is like this! Nobody! I would love to hear his response really!
One of my favorite games ever. If it ever comes to NA, I'll definitely buy it.
Although I have the GC version already, i'm definetly buying!
Love to try the motion controls and added DLC.
What a load of bulls*t. Why Wii edition, why not HD version ? Who wants to play SD game now when we are so far in HD era anyway?
Fantastic game but so so cheap to pick up physically these days, and if you want a digital version you'd probably go for the HD version in 2015 right?
My goodness, no matter where I am on the internet anytime Capcom is mentioned there's at least one person complaining about the company. For anyone unaware, you should realize that it will be Nintendo's decision if this lands on the Eshop in NA. It has nothing to do with Capcom trying to get money from regions. That goes for any game really. Nintendo approaches the third party and gets permission and then Nintendo does all the digital porting. Good grieve....
Just thinking about overtime...
@SetupDisk Yup, but not in the EU / GER version. All other versions featured all the additional PS2 content.
Here, its basically just the GC game, because they never pitched a newer version to the USK and thus, hat to cut out any additional content.
@WaveGhoul
superior GCN visuals? The superior visuals award goes to the PS3 and 360 HD versions.
no, @Nintend0ro was right. As much as I would love to play RE4 on my Wii U (and I can because I still have my disc), this is one situation where you have to ask yourself if this is all Nintendo can do now. It really highlights the issue of 3rd party support. (T-T )
@Utena-mobile
Not really. A lot of textures of the HD version are muddy. And the framerate has dips in some parts. At least from my experience on the ps3 version
@MJKOP - "Scared the life outta me"
Yeah, I don't like hard games, or being scared. I only played TLoU b/c I felt like the only person on the planet who hadn't, and I heard the story was very good, which it was. Also got a $1 rental from Gamefly, so that helped.
Thanks for confirming the early i game attack. Had I known about the bell I would have tried to outlast them, but trying to kill them all w/ limited ammo while running for my life so early in the game, I just coudln't take it, and couldn't imagine how crazy it was going to get later on.
@rjejr I may well be the only person yet to play The Last Of Us!
@Tsusasi Couldn't agree more, I'm glad I am not the only one who feels this way.
My favorite game ever because there is so much replay value. The mercenary mode, that was the name I think, is awesome. If I had a life sentence and could only bring a Nintendo and one gameinto my cell, it would b re4! Mos def!
I bought and sold RE4 more than any other game: four times. Kind of a love-hate relationship. Buying as a download would finally resolve that problem. Welcome to the eShop Capcom, now please bring us Tatsunoko vs Capcom as a download and I'll be well-pleased.
Crapcom, why no HD Version for the Wii U?
If you haven't played RE 4 yet, go pick it up on ebay or at a flea market for half that price.
I have played RE4 on the Cube, Wii and the HD remaster on the 360. The pointer controls of the Wii version makes it the best version hands down. One of my favorite games ever. Cleared it around 8 times, also getting S rank on all Mercenary missions. I can't recommend it enough.
@WaveGhoul
sigh yeah, I know. (T-T ) it's enough to make you cry a little.
I hope capcom release RE4HD on disc for the WiiU. THAT would be the best version, but would never happen, I know.
So, can I play this on the gamepad? As in, it was the GCN version but on the gamepad? if I can, that I will pick it up from the eshop. I love the wiimote version but I would love it on a small screen like the gamepad with physical buttons.
I really hope they release this in NA. I gave my physical copy away to a friend who'd never played it.
Maybe we need also RE2 for N64 VC.
@readyletsgo you can use the Gamepad as your screen, but you'll still need a Wii Remote and nunchuck. Only games you can play with a Classic Controller can be played using the Gamepad alone.
@Waveghoul I think my major problem has always been that it's just too long. I don't have a problem with the cheesy lame plot and dialogue, but the B-movies it emulates are often watchable because they're 90min. The epic length isn't a benefit.
I also would have liked it better if the controls were tweaked to have point to look like a first-person Wii game. Using the pointer to target is excellent, but having to use the control stick to change facing is very clunky and often means getting hit from the side - very annoying in Mercenaries when you're getting mobbed.
Not keen on this why release the Wii version when there have been superior ports on other consoles with higher resolution. I would say the 360/PS3 port with Wiimote or normal gamepad controls would be great.
Maybe a map on the Gamepad screen ?
@DarthNocturnal I have it on both Wii and PC. The PC version looks no better tyan the Wii version, and the Wii mote controls simply cannot be bettered. This game was built to be played on the Wii.
Seriously, I would save your money, and buy something else, if you are set on getting a PC game.
@Lord How do you use gamepad for this? Thanks
