This year Wii is taking on a sinister twist as not one but two nail
biting Survival Horror games from the highly popular Resident
Evil series launch on the system. The first, Resident Evil 4:
Wii Edition is a re-mastered version of the award winning game
with all-new Motion-Sensitive controls to add to the excitement.
Later in the year this will be joined by the all-new Resident
Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, a Wii Gun-Shooting game spanning
the rest of the series. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition and
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles are developed by Capcom
and will be distributed in Europe by Nintendo.
Originally launched on the Nintendo GameCube in 2005,
Resident Evil 4 rapidly became one of the most highly
acclaimed action titles of its generation winning the title of “Game
of the Year” at numerous award ceremonies. In the game, characters
take on the role of special agent Leon, sent into Europe to find the
president’s missing daughter. What he discovers is far more sinister
than just a kidnapping - insane cannibals, mutated creatures and a
sinister virus all lie in wait for our hero as he undertakes his
mission.
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition features the original exciting
story and gameplay of the first game but with the new and intuitive
Wii controls, you can’t help but feel that you are actually part of
the action. Players navigate the plush and sinister locations with
the Nunchuk, while aiming and firing their weapon or using their
knife with the Wii Remote. On top of the game’s main Story Mode,
players can also take on the role of the mysterious Ada Wong with
her story interacting with that of Leon throughout. Resident Evil
4: Wii Edition will launch for Wii across Europe on 29th June
2007.
Following hot on the heels of this all-time great is a new addition
to the series. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a
brand new title for Wii that allows
 players to gain a greater
insight than ever before into the back story behind the outbreak.
This Action/Shooter hybrid takes players to locations from
Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2
and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as well as new never-before-seen
locations, such as Umbrella’s stronghold.
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles allows players to
uncover a whole new realm of evil. The game features First-Person
Light-Gun-style combat with interactive and exciting pathways and
locations, a huge arsenal of weapons and all new blood curdling
enemies which will have you jumping at every turn. Resident Evil:
The Umbrella Chronicles spreads its way across Europe on Wii in
late 2007. |
