CVG: Pokémon, Sega All-Stars Racing, Picross 3D and DSi XL dates announced

HellDescent writes: Capcom has always been known for putting in some bonus modes and treats to liven up their games after completion and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles follows that tradition. We have 2 videos here that show of some of the bonuses we can expect to see in this title.

The Resident Evil Archives series gives Wii gamers the opportunity to play classic Resident Evil games at a great value price. The first release in the Resident Evil Archives series saw the GameCube remake of the original Resident Evil available with an updated control scheme, and the next instalment will offer the same for the GameCube's other exclusive Resident Evil release, Resident Evil Zero.

Capcom announced today the release date of the most awaited port version of Resident Evil Zero on the Nintendo Wii.

That Gaming Site writes: Capcom Europe have confirmed that the second entry in the Resident Evil archives series will hit Europe in January. The latest addition to the series will be Resident Evil 0, a title originally developed for the Nintendo 64 and eventually released on Nintendo Gamecube in 2002.

HellDescent writes: The 4th Resident Evil film has officially been confirmed by Screen Gems and Constantine Films. Milla Jovavich is returning as Alice, Ali Larter as Clair Redfield, Spencer Locke as K-Mart, Wentworth Miller as Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker will be now played by Shawn Roberts. The full 3D film is set to begin filming in Toronto very soon.

Hell Descent writes: Paul W.S. Anderson's next Resident Evil film will not be releasing in September as previously stated, but a little earlier on August 27th. Apparently Anderson who is both the writer and director has been researching nearly every 3D film to hit the big screen to be ready for his first foray into the 3rd dimension of cinema. Our guess is that he needs to find some ways to incorporate 3D scenes without forcing them. Since Afterlife is supposed to be a reboot, we'll just pretend Extinction never happen and pray this film stays at least a mile from the source material.

Paul W.S. Anderson tells Shock Till You Drop that Resident Evil: Afterlife will be his 4th RE film, but not a sequel. Instead the series will be revamped and start as a whole new trilogy. Afterlife will have a bigger budget than the previous films and will see the return of old characters and new ones. The film will also be joining that whole 3D fad that decided to rear its head up from the 70's. I always envisioned Resident Evil as a trilogy of films, he said. And we've been very lucky where it's a trilogy where the audience has built and built. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy. I'm really excited we're doing it [in 3-D] and we're using the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar. There are a lot of exciting things about this one. I don't regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise. Our guess is that Paul will take the Fast And Furious approach; by having a film that ignores previous events and rewrites the series history. This is good news for die hard Resident Evil fans. Maybe, just maybe we can have a RE film that doesn't stray so far from the source material. We're looking at you Extinction.

Producer Jun Takeuchi has said he'd like to see the Resident Evil series rebooted after Dark Chronicles.

Coolest Gadgets: We all know that the Nintendo Wii is privy to a bunch of peripherals that are actually nothing more than pieces of plastic which are supposed to augment the playing experience, but most of them (golf and tennis attachments) actually end up posing as a bigger risk when it comes to breaking things around in your home as you make that swing. Still, the official Resident Evil (The Umbrella Chronicles) Shot Blaster is now out...
