'No plans' for Resident Evil Zero on Wii in Europe or US
Just after Japanese gaming-mag Famitsu broke news of a Wii port of Resident Evil Zero, Capcom has responded, telling Eurogamer, "We currently have no plans to bring the Wii version of Resident Evil 0 that you saw in Famitsu yesterday to either US or Europe at this point in time." Of course, we all know that, in PR parlance, "no plans" doesn't necessarily mean "no" but something closer to "don't hold your breath."
While many bought (at a high price) the already excellent Resident Evil 4 on Wii, RE0 is a far more old-fashioned affair, employing the series' trademark Cumbersome Tank Control™ and Ridiculous Door Loading Screen™ technologies. Without some significant overhauling, we think Capcom's probably right to be skeptical of a US or European release.

I'm pretty sure Capcom should be skeptical about releasing this game in general.

Its a great game. I doubt it will be any better though than the day it came out the first time. Its truely the last leg of the already had been exhausted formula.

I think it will eventually be out in the US but if they do it should at a bargain bin price like 20 or 30 dollars.

That game was cool. Best graphics on the cube. Too bad adding waggle to it wouldn't help the game at all... So I don't really see the point.

$30 is hardly a high price.

"$30 is hardly a high price."
I had the same reaction at first but I'm assuming the author was making a joke based on the RE4 Merchant's line, "I'll buy it a high price!"
Since RE4 Wii sold at a budget price it didn't really work though :p

In other news, the region-breaking disc accessory for Wii came out today!
Start practicing your kanji, kids!

Tank control FTL

Technically RE4 has the same tank-controls...
Anyway, this is fine. Keep it, Japan. We don't want it. That game was all kinds of stupid. Getting the story recap on Umbrella Chronicles just confirmed it.
