All the zombies you can shake a Wiimote at

Well, Resident Evil fans, Destructoid has good news and ‘meh’ news.

Hopefully, they won't run this fast

The good news: Famitsu’s confirmed the RE4 remake for the Wii. You’ll be aiming with the Wiimote (ala the upcoming Metroid Prime 3), shaking the remote while holding B to reload (ala House of the Dead 4?), and waving the controller without B to knife some zombie bitches (ala … Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, I guess). This port’s gonna include the added stuff from the PS2 version, such as the Ada missions, as well as a trailer for Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

The meh news: The meh news is Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

It appears that the Wii “original” Resident Evil title, Umbrella Chronicles, will be a first-person gun shooter on (wait for it) rails. There will be no free movement (other than occasionally choosing your path), with the game focused entirely on shooting. The game will detail the fall of Umbrella Corp., and will include most main characters previously seen in the series.

In preparation for this potential disaster, gamers can feel free to pick up a copy of the PlayStation 2 game, Resident Evil: Dead Aim, for under twenty dollars at their local pawn shop.

I’ll probably pick it up anyway. As anyone who’s seen me play Rez knows, I sure do love a good rail shooter from time to time.
