Resident Evil 4 to get Wii treatment?

Rumours are rife right now that Resident Evil 4, considered by many to be the best of the Resi series, may be coming to our beloved Nintendo Wii. “So what?” I hear you say. “I played that back on the Gamecube ages ago.” Chances are, if you owned a cube, then this is the case. But just think about it for a second. Imagine what the Wii could do for this game. Imagine targeting those crazy villagers with your wiimote instead of your old controller. Imagine two Resident Evil Wii games on your shelf instead of one (Umbrella Chronicles coming soon). Imagine brandishing a pitchfork just like the crazy mob using the Wii’s wand set-up. Who knows, it could just happen.

There’s been no formal announcement from Capcom, no leaked information, nothing. All these rumours are going on — as far as I can tell — are three little web listings. But it’s enough for me. GameStop, Sofmap and GoNintendo have all either listed or reported on listings of the Wii version of this game recently. That’s Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition available for preorder on those sites over in the States. Three separate listings. What do you think? Personally, I’d say that it’s only a matter of time till this is confirmed. Bring it on!
