A little question about Resident Evil, the GameCube and the Wii...

This refers to REmake, RE4 and RE0 in particular.

Why, oh why, were they re-released for Wii? What's different about them? You can play GameCube games on Wii so to me it feels a bit redundant, but I am new to the GameCube and I haven't got a Wii so maybe someone can explain the appeal to me.

I just don't get it - to me it feels like a completely unnecessary repackage.
 
i think its just so they can use the wiimote, i really don't understand why they have done it either. just a chance to make more money i guess?

 
Maybe...some secret online thing? Really, I thought it made no sense either, haha.

Maybe it's to let it show correctly on a HD TV.
 
Or maybe it's becuase they have better graphics and some of us only have wii's and no other game systems >_>.

Honestly what is everyones problem with RE being made on the Wii now? Just cuz it's on the rails? Pfft...
 
actually nemesis if you read her question correctly, she is asking why resident evil 1 and 0 are being re released on the wii, there not on the rails, there an exact port of the gamecube versions.and since wii plays gamecube games it seems silly to port them over.
 
Ohh ok sorry.


Maybe because.... Uhhhh... They have better graphics?
 
resident evil archives is resident evil 1, and both gamecube and wii version have exactly the same graphics.
just like zero will as well.

 
The only difference is the wii controller and they can probably sell it for a higher price with the wii label on it.
 
You're right. It is unnecessary to re-release REmake and RE0 on the Wii since you can buy what is practically the same game already, but with better controls.

Maybe it's just an excuse for Capcom to use when someone asks them about the lack of RE attention for the Wii.
 
Thought so. It's SOOO pointless. I hate Wii controls anyway - the only thing they're fun for is Wii Bowling.
 
I mean, even though I like the game the repackage of RE to the DS seemed a little pointless, very gimmicky. But this just takes the biscuit, lol
 
it wasn't.....so bad that the DS got it i suppose, but 2 of the same games on one console, is just plain ridiculous.

 
Waaaiiitttt.... They did an RE remakes and porter them to the wii and then they did it again? That is pointless then but neah, I like the wii controls and the wii and stuff but anyways ya know right?


Maybe it's to also keep RE fans calm cuz alot of 'em keep wanting RE5 for wii.
 
Imagine if you had REmake for GC already, and you had a Wii. Would you just plug in a classic controller or would you go out and buy the same game AGAIN for the Wii, just so you could use the WiiMote?
 
yurp they made remake for the gamecube, then did put that exact remake on the wii with different controls.
resident evil 5 will probably never come to the wii, it was said at first it never would, but now apparenly it might one day.

 
If you're using the GC verions on the Wii, can you use the Wiimote (but just use the D-pad on it) or do you have to plug in an old controller?
