Official Nintendo Magazine UK points out that most of the game played in co-operation with another CPU-controller character, suggesting a two-player option in the final game.

Japanese magazine scans claim shaking the remote will use Leon Kennedy's knife, shaking while holding the B trigger will reload and pointing in general will aim ... » Read More

From the article:

"Pity the Resident Evil fanatic. Not only has the poor guy had to buy two chainsaw controllers and brave two Resident Evil movies (and now suffers cold sweats anticipating the third), but according to Famitsu, he'll now have to buy a third version of Resident Evil 4, this time for Wii.

Capcom is holding a Gamers Day event on April 12 to showcase at least part of its 2007 lineup and several Wii projects are expected to be on-hand, including the tentatively named Treasure Island Z.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Corp Chronicles is the confirmed title for the Wii's own dose of zombie-blasting action, and will use the Wii-mote to offer a lightgun style of gameplay.
