Capcom has already seen massive worldwide success with both Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles on Nintendo’s immensely popular Wii console, with the duo easily surpassing a million sales each around the globe. So it was hardly any surprise to hear yet another entry into the popular survival horror franchise was on the cards. Now the developer has lifted the lid on the game by releasing the first ever trailer…

Due for release on 10th July, 2008 in Japan, and not currently scheduled for a release in the US or across Europe and Australia, the game is being priced at the very reasonable cost of 4,190 yen (~£20 / 26 Euros), which in Japanese terms is around a third less than normal priced releases. This is being deemed as very appropriate, though, considering this will not be a remake on the scale of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, rather more of a simple port that does not even make the best possible use of the Wii’s motion control set-up. This seems to be more a case of Resident Evil 0 not meeting the sales expectations of Capcom on the underperforming GameCube and the company hoping for a new lease of life on the Wii, tapping into the Resident Evil fan-base that has now been built up on the console.
