"With Nintendo slowly shifting its focus from the Wii to the Wii U, developers are starting to ponder just exactly what the new system is capable of. Capcom and the geniuses behind the Resident Evil series are becoming increasingly more intrigued by the prospect of RE on the Wii U and what they could do with it."

"As the next link in a chain of videogame-related action figures, it has been confirmed today that Capcom’s Resident Evil will be releasing some brand new “deluxe figures” this March.

Ultimately we're looking at bringing between 20 and 40 titles to the PSN over the next several months.""

A few days ago it was announced that a port of the Resident Evil Remake will be coming to Nintendo Wii. An odd choice on Capcom's behalf, as the original Gamecube remake is already compatible with the Wii.

But it looks like the Wii port will be Japan-Only... at least, for the moment. This will come as no surprise to Wii owners, who also missed out on the Resident Evil Zero port (despite that game also being released on Gamecube).

In the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, it has been revealed that Capcom will be porting yet another Resident Evil game to the Wii: this time, it is the Resident Evil remake that appeared on the GameCube in 2002. REmake will support the GameCube controller, and currently the only controls known right now is that you can draw your weapon by shaking the Wii Remote.

Resident Evil will release on December 25th in Japan. Capcom has previously ported Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 0 to the W...
