Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, Wii ports of RE0 and REmake all shambling to North America
Click to embiggen.This is
thriller -- thriller morning! First revealed via
Famitsu scans, Capcom has officially confirmed the existence of the new Wii
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles -- and confirmed a North American release at the same time!
The Darkside Chronicles is based on the
Resident Evil 2 timeline and stars Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield in an
Umbrella Chronicles-style rail shooter with "a more in-depth co-op experience" and a new "Evade system." The Cavia-developed shooter is expected this winter.
In addition, Capcom is localizing the Wii ports of
Resident Evil Zero (which Capcom's US branch previously declined
at least twice) and the
Resident Evil remake (which, as a port of a remake, is basically a
zombie itself now) as a new "
Resident Evil Classics" line for release this year. Both games feature new Wii Remote controls and will sell at a $29.99 price point, just like Nintendo's own
ported Gamecube games!
Update: Check
Famitsu for a trailer!
