Have you thought about how great it would be?
And Capcom could produce it in an instant. They’d just have to:
- use all the content from the GameCube version
- add all the extra content from the PS2 version, updated to have GC-like graphics and lighting (otherwise, the extras would look visibly worse than the rest of the game)
- add widescreen mode (I think the PS2 version already includes it)
- add wiimote + nunchuk support.
Advantages:
- it would look better than most current Wii games (including Zelda: TP and Red Steel)
- most of it is already done, so development time and costs would be low
- the game really begs for wiimote control.
Me, I’d buy it in a second, even though I already have the GC version.




Would be a great game! RE4 for GC is one of best games that I’ve ever played.
I loved Resident Evil 4 on the Game Cube and it does indeed seem like it would go to the Wii quite well. Mind you, I did find RE4 a little too easy compared to its previous counterparts.
Amy: IMO, it is the other REs that were artificially hard. Ridiculously low amounts of ammo, a very, very small inventory, the dreaded ink ribbons, and way too many “find 4 gems in 4 distant places, then put them all together in these slots to move that statue” puzzles.
I still like those games, but it’s despite the above, not thanks to it.
RE4 is an amazing game from start to finish, without any of the boredom, or artificial difficult, of its predecessors.
