Wii - Resident Evil 5 - Resident Evil 5

Wii News | Resident Evil 5
Wednesday 10 May 2006 Capcom has today confirmed that a special Wii-mote-using version of Resident Evil is already in development for Wii. What it hasn't said though is if the game is a version of the already revealed PS3 and Xbox 360 game, Resident Evil 5, or if a whole new instalment in the survival-horror series is on its way.
