Wii News | Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 4 may not be the only existing title in the survival horror series to experience Wii remote action.

Wii - Resident Evil 4 - Resident Evil 4 Wii's Cut... As In Censored! For Resident Evil fans and Wii owners this piece of news is going to be a wooden foot in the balls ¿ Resident Evil 4 for the Wii is going to be an innocent title. That's right boys and girls, limbs will no longer fall, blood won't be splattering here and there as you were used to and so on. Add this to the simplified control scheme and what do you get? A great survival-horror video game screwed up by the Wii.

Wii - Resident Evil 4 - Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition Scores 9.5 Japanese game magazine Famitsu were the first to review Resident Evil 4 on the Wii. Their verdict?

According to the magazine, which tasked four of their writers with reviewing the game, the content is almost identical to the GameCube version, but the Wiimote controls make the game feel fresh and different. One reviewer commented that the Wiimote controls made the player feel closer to the action, and increased the tension when hunting down the zombies.

Of the four reviewers, two of them gave the game a 10/10, and the other two gave it a 9/10. And while Famitsu are not exactly the toughest critics in the video game journalism industry, these scores appear to indicate that we have a lot to look forward to come release day on June 19th.

The Nintendo-oriented monthly sister publication of Weekly Famitsu offered opinions on the game in its July issue, which just hit Japanese news stands today.

Judging by the scores, the Wii could have a critical hit. Two editors awarded the game a perfect 10 out of 10. The other two were still impressed enough to award a score of 9.

Wii - Resident Evil 5 - Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi says Capcom has made no concessions to the original vision of his game, despite accusations of racism.

Criticisms of the trailer's ...

Capcom has released its longest, most revealing trailer of Resident Evil 5 yet, and as you'd expect it's shockingly good.

First and foremost, the two minute-plus video unveils Chris Redfield's new partner, who in complete non-tradition with the series, is a fit bird. He makes reference to Jill as well, who we reckon will probably turn up at some point.

What's more tantalising than the appearance of the sidekick is the video's ...
