Try to muster some excitement for Resident Evil 0
Capcom has released a trailer for the Wii version of Resident Evil 0, a GameCube title which was itself a prequel to Resident Evil -- though it was released long after the original. Oh, and the game has already been out in Japan for over a year. If you're confused at all, don't be. Just remember one thing: Other than added support for the Classic Controller and the Wii remote plus Nunchuk, the game is identical to the already available, and backwards compatible, GameCube version. Keep in mind, by "added support," we don't mean enhanced controls -- there's no pointer support or anything. Try to get excited for its impending winter release. We dare you.
Another Week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 7/7-7/13
We're kind of glad to see Persona 4 blow away the competition in software, even if it's not a Wii game (cough -- it should be). Nothing else really sold all that well, not even the games in the top ten. Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii keep piling on copies to their ever-growing mountains, though, and remain snug in the top ten.The other big news in terms of Japanese software is the release of Resident Evil 0. Capcom's port did debut at spot six, but only sold 20k copies in its first week. This game won't come even close to being the cash cow that Resident Evil 4 was, but we're sure Capcom will still make a pretty ported penny.Hardware sales show that the Wii was stuck in third, again:You can check out Japan's software sales and rankings from last week after the break.
Wii Warm Up: Do you want Resident Evil Zero localized?
We were talking about Capcom and the Japan-exclusive Wii port of Resident Evil Zero yesterday, so we figured the question is valid. Sure, we all would like to see Capcom's newest entry in the series, Resident Evil 5, ported to the Wii, but what about this GameCube remake?Do you want the game localized to your region? Big Resident Evil fan? We are, so we're usually quick to pick up a title even if it just has a new coat of paint on it. What say you all?
