Capcom seem to be going port crazy at the moment! They recently revealed that the GameCube REmake of the original Resident evil game will release in Wii edition form. The game will of course be Wii remote compatible (but still support GameCube controls) and that’s about it! The Wii edition may feature a new costume for Chris and Jill, but that’s as extra as it gets in terms of new content. Everything else will be as it was 6 years ago.

You may ask “What’s the point?” I know I did. But I guess it’s another adult, non-kiddy title in the Wii’s library. God knows it needs ‘em about now. It’s also a chance for those who missed out on the GameCube classic to pick up a copy now. It’d probably be cheaper to buy the GameCube version – but good luck finding it now! It’s highly unlikely this game will release outside of Japan, but Wii owners can stay a little hopeful. REmake was a brilliant game on every front. The graphics were and still are amazing and the suspense the game built up created some tense moments. The whole experience felt so different from the PlayStation original that it really did feel like a new game. Capcom out did themselves. My only gripe was that the game was too difficult! The whole burning zombies bodies dealio got old and annoying real quick.

Many are speculating that Capcom’s decision to Wii-release Resident evil 0 and 1 is to lead up to a possible REmake of game number 2. I’ve been silently hoping for a REmake of 2 for a long time. I wish Capcom would stop porting and re-releasing shit and just re-make the damn game already! I’m not going to believe a REmake of 2 is on the cards, because I can’t afford to raise my hopes and then have Capcom break my heart when they announce “It is not happening” and then stamp on my broken heart with a “It never will”. A fan can still hope though. But given how long I’ve been hoping for a REmake of Resident evil 2, I’ll probably end up hoping for life.
