Not that anyone was expecting anything grand out of this one, but Resident Evil for the Wii brings about as many new additions over its GameCube counterpart as Resident Evil 0 did. It’s still Japan-only for the time being, but here’s the basic summary.
Widescreen TV owners will have to settle for pillarboxing, as the single-disc game only supports the original 4:3 screen ratio. The game does add the ability to play with just the horizontal Wii remote, in addition to the GameCube, Nunchuk, and Classic control schemes used for Resident Evil 0 on the Wii. Finally, the standard Wii Remote + Nunchuk scheme allows you to use the remote pointer and B-button for shooting, and you can simply shake to Wii Remote to go to and from shooting mode.
BUT, as the guys at NeoGAF point out, look at those additions to the boxart. Man, oh man. They took the Japanese GameCube cover, pasted Chris and giganto-Jill on top of it, and called it a day. Amazing.
