Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition confirmed to Famitsu

Enough about Resident Evil 4 for Wii rumors and let’s get on with the facts. As early as now, please do not confuse RE4 with Umbrella Chronicles as the two video game titles are different from one another. Japanese magazine Famitsu, in its latest issue, said that Capcom confirmed that there is in fact an RE4 title, and that it’s also coming to Wii.

If you’re still not completely down with this, Famitsu further proved its claim by providing details on how the game’s controls will all play out. Accordingly, RE4 will make full use of the Wiimote. During close-range attacks, the motion-sensitive controller should be shaken, Leon will automatically detect the enemy and perform a knife attack.

Likewise, the Wiimote will also be used to aim a targetting cursor in order to shoot and fire at your enemies. Hold down the “B” button and shake it a bit to reload your ammo. The built-in speaker will also sport a reload sound effect. Before all of these even take place, players are given an option to select between difficulty settings “Easy” and “Amateur”.

As you all know, there’s an RE4 version on PlayStation 2 (PS2). Famitsu added that all bonus elements in this version will be incorporated in the Wii version, meaning we can all play as Ada during “The Another Order” sequence.

Capcom is yet to officially announce Resident Evil 4 to the Japanese public, let alone in other parts of the world. We can expect that public confirmation to arrive in the coming days or weeks. It will be out in Japan on May 31.
