I've been on ign today to see that the game will be coming to the Wii. Interesting. Will the game get better? Will they add all these wacky controls for melee attacks? Can the game possibly get any better? It seems pretty useless, I mean we have the game for the Cube which can be played over the Wii, so why do we need another one with Wii-ified controls? We'll see...

I'm happy about it. I was going to buy the GC version, but now I will hold on and get the Wii version.

I think it should be pretty fun... I only played for the Ps2... but the Wii controllers should make it pretty wickid.

I just hope this isn't the start of a bunch of Wii-makes. RE4 is a good game but I would rather have new stuff.

I like the idea, as long as the Wii controls change the overall experience.  As long as it's not like Prince of Persia: Rival Swords, which leaves you better off playing the Two Thrones on GC and other systems. 

Unfortunately, crappy Wiimakes, are still going to sell enough to help third parties break even, since it doesn't cost much to make Wiimakes and they will still make money without the figures being stellar. (It's extra chump change in there pockets and these companies value every cent of it.)  This extra money will be added to the big bucks they make off of 360 and PS3 games which they will use to make better quality 360 and PS3 games and the spare change will again be used for crappy Wiimakes. That's how the cycle goes.

I dunno.. I think the Wii is still in its development stages... I think if we give it a few months.. it will sky rocket with new-exclusive games.

Wasn't this kind of expected? I mean it's even made its way on to the PC, and with Wii having better than GC graphical technologies, why not?

Yeah, "Blazing Angels" for example. They keep releasing the game for new machines even though it sucked.

Yeah, plus as Enforcer said... it gives the company extra pocket change because they can release a newer version game that they know will sell.

I just wonder if it will have extra content.  Like the PS2 version had new weapons and new costumes than the GC version.  Plus it will be interesting to see how the Wii remote will come into play.  I have the GC version but I feel I will be picking this one up too.

kind of pointless if you ask me.  Thousands of people have played through the game already, so there seems to be no point to this, but for those who never got the chance, the wii's unique controls will make it worthwhile.  But again, anyone who has played it, pretty pointless, i was hoping for info on RE5, but I'll have to wait.

I totally agree with you for the most part, however one thing that will help nintendo in ways yet also cause lots of damage as far as third party support goes is the fact that everybody and there mothers r jumping on the wiikey bandwagon and simply finding the games for free download at various sources to play illegal backups...seriously though wiis were selling like hotcakes without any mods out, then it became kinda easy to find wiis for a few weeks, then modchips came out like the wiinja,cyclowiz and wiikey and now everybody is buying them up like hotcakes again and mods r selling out as well, much like the ds has sold alot of units just because of the mod solutions out there wii too is selling alot of console with peoples intentions being to get the games for free.. so I can gaurantee one thing wiis r gonna be getting soaked up off shelves for sometime to come, especially now, but in the end it could do more harm then good for us the gamers because alot of ppl wont try games out and if they r really good they wont support the good games by buying a legit copy, nope they will simply say why buy it when I got it for free.. which is really a sad thing, I can see not supporting the crappy games that r not worth the dough because by supporting every crappy game that comes out you only make the companies release more crap but most ppl r totally abusing the mod scene by not at least supporting the really good A++ titles.. seriously its one thing to download a piece of crap like splinter cell and say im never buying this game, but to download great games like trauma center,warioware etc and not go out and buy it so chances increase for a sequel to those is just plain stupid to a certain degree, sure you got the game free, so what now companies r abandoning support of the wii because they literally sold a a couple hundred thousand copies or more less then they usually would have.. one good thing though is that nintendo always supports their console no matter what and have always done an awesome job of it... I know I got a little off subject but I thought I would say what I had to say being as im sure some modders r in here, please damage only the companies that r releasing crap by not buying their games but when it comes to the really kick butt games you really need to support those games..anyway my point being is nintendo may be early on and gain support but it will be losing some of that support before long if sales of certain games dont hold steady... now as far as alot fo great games coming in the next months I totally agree, nintendo has at least 4 games that totally kick butt coming out shortly and I cant wait...

Looks Interesting, I have the GC version but the game is good enough to buy again... especially with extras and Wii control, It also gives Wii owners the chance to experience a largley under appreciated GOTY... Any mature title is good on the Wii at the moment especially one of the callibur.

It's stupid. It's just gonna fuel the whole "CRAppY P0rTs FTL" threads.

Capcom should just focus on Umbrella Chronicles and RE5. Not that I'm planning on buying either of them but it doesn't make a lot of sense porting RE4 over when they should be working on the next games in the series.

i've got mixed feelings about it... i tried a few times to reply the GC version a few weeks ago and it just bored me cuz i'd already done everything on it (except a few merc bits). on the other hand there's the extra's i've never played so who knows... either way if it's cheap enough i'll pick it up, but i'll not pay £40 for a game i already own

It sounds pretty cool. They're including all the PS2 bonus features, which gives this game some added value if you only played the Gamecube version. Also, I think I heard it was going to retail at $29.99, which is a smart move considering that it's a three-year-old game. That would make a lot more sense than selling it at $49.99 like Ubisoft wants to do with all their Wii ports.

Don't have it yet, so it will be good to pick it up for the Wii for the first time. Point controls will be a lot better too, as I despised the analog aiming in that game, it was too slow. I think I just sucked at it, so the point controls will be nicer. And I want a creepy game, before Sadness, so this should be good:).

That's what i read also.  So i will most likely pick it up (again).

If it's budget priced, I'd consider getting it. I contemplated getting the PS2 version just because of the bonuses, so that plus use of the wii-mote might make it worthwhile.

Even though I played it on the GC version, I'm still gonna pick it up. Especially seeing how it's supposed to have all the PS2 version's extras seeing how I never played that version. Here's hoping they get the graphics down as well as the GC version at least.

Someone posted a magazine scan yesterday and it showed you playing as Lewis. I don't know if I'm going to get it or not unless it has a lot of extra content and getsbetter reviews than what it did (I'm not talking about "professional" reviews solely".
