Resident Evil 4 Waggles To the Wii

AbsoluteXyro writes "IGN reports that the Wii version of Resident Evil 4 was confirmed earlier today, as Famitsu spilled the beans on the title in its latest issue. The new version boasts point-and-shoot gameplay, along with a bevy of motion controlled actions that Capcom hopes will put you in the game. Better yet, the game features the visuals of the Gamecube version and all the bonus content of the PS2 version. Famitsu also delivers some info that IGN apparently missed in their translation, including new enemies and bosses, as well as a retail price point of about $30 USD. The game reportedly hits shelves (overseas anyhow) on May 31st."

Re:Cool but still a cheap money grab

That's a great point and I agree, but I wanted some sort of excuse to say what I wanted to say in that regard, because it's still true :-P

Anyway, it's still consistent with something I tend to see on Nintendo platforms more than on others. Games being slightly re-tooled and released for a stab at easy profit. I'm sure it brings a good return on investment, but I feel Nintendo needs to cut down on it a bit (I don't see Mario Party ## being any less deserving of ridicule than EA's annual sports titles in this regard). Re-releasing a game on a system that can already play the original disk isn't exactly a step in the right direction, and I'm sure Nintendo had a say in it. Though, of course I'd have been far more surprised if they said 'no' because that would indeed have made no sense... meh this is ranty and probably self-contradictory I suppose in honesty I'd just have liked something *new* rather than RE4... after all, I've been waiting for RE5 on my 360 ^_^
