Gekko Region free make Japanese game run on American Wii. Knowledge of Japanese not necessarily a must on this case

But, like Randy said, now is still Wario time, and that's without letting Megaman into the picture.

I was trying to write that comment with Japanese grammar structure, but realized that would make it way too indecipherable

So instead the mess you see above was conceived.

...until they release it everywhere else. Seriously. I doubt this will just stay in Japan. Too much of a global fanbase.

I love old RE as much as the next gamer, but all of the nostalgia and waggle in the world can't save replaying them in this day and age an enjoyable experience. I dredged through REmake and RE Zero on GCN, I don't want to have to do it again unless they truly remake them. REmake RE 4/5 style on Wii or 360/PS3, and I'll totally sign some stupid petition in T-Virus infected blood.

True. Every time I try to go back and play RE2 I reel back in horror at the controls. For their time, they were excellent...but just like Megaman, things must change. I think the nostalgia itself is the only thing that keeps me coming back, because it sure isn't the plodding gameplay.

RE 4 and 5 are completely different games than the rest in the series. I almost wished they started a new IP and used different character names.

Is this REmake in the same vein as RE4 for Wii? Cause, despite the fact that I think it would change the game quite a bit, I think it would be awesome, and they would be foolish to not release it here. I loved the controls of 4 and the story of 1. I hate the new storyline route, though I can't blame them for going in a different direction. Looks like 5 is gonna be the same route too :/

Call me old-fashioned, but I actually prefer the older Resident Evil games. The controls have never been amazing, but the threat was very real in the original RE. The lack of resources really made me question whether or not I'd be able to make it another five minutes.

However RE4 has such an abundance of ammo that the whole game seemed like I was on cruise control the entire time. There was no question of survival, and the horror element was gone. I mean, circus midgets in funny hats are entertaining, but horrifying they are not. I kept expecting Salazar to break into a juggling routine during any given cut scene.

Okay: You're old-fashioned. :-p

Nothing wrong with that, though...the scarcity of ammo that you mentioned certainly was more terrifying than the mere presence of zombies themselves. RE4 (though I never completed it) could have been a light gun game with the overabundance of ammo, especially since Resident Evil's never been done in a light gun forma--wait a minute...

P.s. Midgets may not be terrifying, but it's sure lots of fun to chest-pass them on the b-ball court.

Why would you even need waggle to play RE? It's not like you actually aim at much of anything.

Cool, this and Zero will probably be free unlockables on the North American release of Dead Rising.
Because Capcom loves us, sorry, loves the US.

Wasn't the port of Resident Evil Zero poorly made, with no real implementation of the Wii's abilities?

If RE will be the same, they can shove it.

Its essentially in english anyway right? so making a US version would cost around $7.99.

I can't see why they wouldn't bring it over. They must not want easy money..

How the hell would waggle controls work with the gimped control scheme of Resident Evil.

I realize the controls were improved to more than the x/y direction, but the controls still don't make any sense to me with a motion control.

So this is going to control kind of like mario galaxy then?. (use the stick to move around as you normally would in older RE games and control a cursor with the wiimote to shoot)...

That might completely change the game, making it a hell of a lot easier..
