Biohazard Wii indepth
Extensive information on the gameplay and content of RE:Wii has surfaced.

-The game consists of 4 "chapters", RE1's mansion, RE2's RPD, RE3's city areas and RE4's village (plus surrounding areas).
-Each chapter has 2 characters to choose from. RE1 has Jill and Chris, RE2 has Leon and Claire, RE3 has Jill and Carlos and RE4 has Leon and Ada.
-There are several characters that can be unlocked by playing through the game: Rebecca Chambers, Hunk and Albert Wesker.
-The gameplay of all chapters is designed around RE4's. Press the B trigger on the wiimote to go into over-the-shoulder view, aim with the pointer and press A to fire.
-The game will have QTEs, but rather than push buttons you have to make motions with the wiimote in order to get through them.
-All characters will have mêlée attacks, just like RE4.
-To encourage replayablility, each character has strengths and weaknesses, similar to how in RE4:Mercenaries Ada had the least health, Krauser was the slowest, etc.
-Just like in RE4:Mercenaries each character has a unique set of weapons. What's more players can only carry 2 weapons at any one time. Chris gets a pistol and shotgun whilst Jill gets a pistol and grenade launcher.
-You will be able to find several new weapons during each stage. For example, RE1 will have Richard's shotgun, RE2 will have the Desert Eagle, RE4 will have the Chicago Typewriter. There will also be new weapons like Krauser's anti-personnel robots.
-Similar to Devil May Cry 3, after each chapter you can save your data and any new weapons picked up will be available for use in Arcade Mode.
-Arcade Mode is like a giant Mercenaries minigame, where you pick a character and stage and blast through it. Building on the resounding success of Mercenaries seen when RE4 was released.
-Scenario mode will feature a large number of ingame cutscenes.
-New content not in the games that the chapters were based on will be added. The primary goal of this will be to link RE4 and Umbrella's status in it more closely with the rest of the series.
-Ammo conservation will play a part in the gameplay, so it's not just constant action like RE4.
-Trailer coming at TGS.

No. In the package there will be only the Composite Cable (low quality), but always connected to the same Digital Output of Wii, because Wii will have only a single output, and not two like Gamecube.
There is a image somewhere in this thread that show this.

Yeah, I saw that, but there were other people hoping earlier in the thread that component would be packed-in. A confirmation that this is untrue can pretty much be derived from the listing of third-party component cables on EB's website a while back....

Wow, WarioWare hype++

ExciteTruck is looking great, and I don't even plan to get Zelda anytime soon but I'm drooling over it.

Guys,

I'll have an update coming. But just a quick heads-up: Retro has proved the potential of the Wii-mote with Metroid Prime 3. The developer added a third control mode, expert (this is not normal or advanced, but all-new) and it simulates PC FPS controls to 90 percent accuracy. I was FLYING around levels with ease.

BTW -- We'll have footage so you can see for yourself soon. The game looks mad hot.

Well, the improved graphics across the board somewhat makes up for the increase in price. But I still refuse to be happy by all this good game related news.

Super Mario Galaxy haters can please drop dead. I'm not going to get defensive about anything EXCEPT the look of that game, it is far above any other Wii game, it is stylish, technically impressive, vast, smooth.. everything. Truly beautiful to behold.

The other games vary wildly. BWii suddenly looks a lot better, but tony hawk, the dog land thing and various third party games look mediocre. I guess it's the old verse about how much care and polish is spent on the game..

Glad the classic controller is used for Fire Emblem. That's going to make controls a lot more FE-like. :)

And yeah those TVs look freaking cool, however I doubt they are for sale. Someone prove me wrong please!

Ah man ammo conservation :(.

I hope Ashley is a hidden playable character. Mainly because I know what her two weapons will be. :)

Oil lamps and her "ballistics".

um. a lot of the stuff in this thread are very ordinary ... I really don't get the WOW.. type comments. The visuals aren't great (GCish) and well, the news about pricing etc is rather disastrous imo.


Well, I'm finding the apocalypse comment in the thread title appropriate in hindsight.

I honestly thought your prediction for Ashley's weapons would be
right and left.
