I have always supported this game, especially now with the very positive TGS previews. I also want much more mainstream support from Capcom. RE4's sales surprised everyone, especially considering it was a two year old game that was released on three platforms previously (one of which can be played on your Wii already). I bought my copy on day 1.

I know Capcom has said they are waiting to see how "both games will do", but there is the fact that RE: UC is only a spin-off game, and not a AAA title like RE4. Now there is this, which may turn into a Metroid Prime 2 vs. Halo 2 situation.

I think we all remember how well Metroid Prime 2 did...

Right, almost anyone and everyone with a Wii will want Mario more, and then will be too busy playing Galaxy to even remember RE. :(

An advertising showcasing the game with the Zapper could maybe help the sales.

I forgot to ask, any update on the RE: UC + Zapper bundle. I think IGN confirmed it, but no info on the price, packaging, availability, etc.

This is going to be a big problem in November for a lot of games. There are a number of promising Wii games coming out in November with the biggest being Super Mario Galaxy.

A number of these games need to be pushed back or perhaps rushed and released in October. Sales for a number of these games are going be hurting I think. Not just in November but in December as well since Super Smash Bros. Brawl is coming out that month.

I know I'm already picking up Super Mario Galaxy. Trying to decide between Fire Emblem or a 3rd party game that month. Dec is going to be no easier I think since ther eare still games released in Nov I want to pick up and Brawl is coming out then as well. :( To many good games are being released at the same time both, 1st party and 3rd party.

I never agreed with Nintendo's "Big 3" strategy. I assume they are planning to beat their competitors over their heads with these 3 big name releases, hoping for a final big push to make their consumer base the largest (MGS4 in 2008, wah, wah, waaaahhhh). However, its too much, IMO. Their blowing their biggest guns almost right out the gate, and the third party support their hoping to entice will be slaughtered.

I agree. Shoving them all in one month wasn't a good idea.

Especially with Fire Emblem, Medal of Honor Heroes II, Galaxy, and UC all coming out on the same day. With Guitar Hero III just a few days before Fire Emblem and Brawl coming out soon after this month.

Honestly, I was really disappointed with umbrella chronicles being a rails shooter. Not only is ghost squad doing it too (albeit probably worse than UC), but MOH heroes 2 is doing it in addition to online and single player. It just seems like they could've done RE5 or an entirely different game instead of cashing in on the gimme genre for the system. At the very least, UC could've been an addition to RE5 to make the wii version unique beyond control schemes and toned down visuals. The only rails shooters I've liked have had twists or were inherently different, ala Killer 7 or Rez. It could surprise though, I guess.

No nothing confirmed on a Zapper RE UC bundle.

Actually, I just checked the IGN article. There is a special RE zapper bundle, in Japan. Nothing about us. I would paste the article, but apparently Firefox can't do that.

There won't be many games supporting the Zapper for quite a while,
but hopefully enough to sell the Zapper.

You have to realise: if the Zapper sells -and i think it will- people are going to buy RE umbrella.

Another thing.
Games don't have to be new to sell.
That's what it was like, right? Why would it be any different now?
Because Wii games, hardly get outdated.
The Wii audience has broken through the technical barrier that is for a big part responsible, for putting a date of death on games.

Busy months coming up, but i think each game will do well. UC imo isnt going to be a great game ie rail shooter, but the story line will be what makes it sell. Just pick and choose.

Well I never expect RE UC to have really strong sells to begin with, however its release date doesnt really matter. Q4 is the biggest selling season for games, people mainly buy multiple titles over the entire period. So sells come from all of Q4 not just release week. The sells will pick up to about the expected level through December.

Umbrella Chronicles lost my attention after they said it would be on rails so Mario Galaxy overshadowed it anyway in my eyes.

Also Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 comes out in November and also Endless Ocean comes out November in Europe. It's not very smart releasing them all in November.

I lost a little bit when it was announced on rails, but the trailers and stuff have really got me pumped. SMG always outshined this, but I still want both.

I still hope it does well. Remeber people Capcom is going to look at the sales of REUC. THat could kinda make or break the Mature support from Capcom or just in geniral.
