I'm sorry guys, but... WTF?! C'mon. I'm glad that this game exists, don't get me wrong, but... I ALREADY played it and enjoyed it. I already have it. And it was excellent.
Your preference of this game or not is irrelevant at this point. Where the HELL is BIOHAZARD 2???
No, don't even show me this shit:
That was pure and transluscent bullshit. And so was #3.
Back in the day, when the Gamecube came out, it was pretty damn sweet - and the graphics, trust me, where amazing. And then people went over with X-Box & PS2 for the next several years as far as the hardcore games were concerned (Aside from the Nintendo brand classics, of course... or the other games that had ALREADY come out). My history lesson may be right or wrong or misdirected, but this is all irrelevant.
THIS came out for Gamecube. And control aside - this was AMAZING. Several years after the now shitty looking RE on the original Playstation came out, this little JEWEL comes out...
And then after enjoying the amazing graphics (for the time) and feel... that still holds up, all of us held our breath for the reincarnation of a masterpiece...
This piece of art came out in 1998... and it made me shit rainbows for weeks. The title is responsible for me being with the girl I am with now (well, that and a blow up mattress - it's not how you visualize it, but thanks for the vote of confidence anyhow) and I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't dreaming of it being re-released on Gamecube.
And it did... but only kinda. I had already been pleasured and spoiled by a title like Resident Evil for Gamecube. Eventually ZERO came out... but when it came time to deliver to me. Nothing.
Now, cut to 10 years later... (hint-hint... Ten Year anniversary Capcom-motherfuckers) - and I get, what? A re-release of Resident Evil 0?! For the Wii... Seriously?! What the fuck?!! What about the SH_game-of-all-SH_games?! (arguably of course)
I can see re-releasing this almost immediately on the Wii... you need something to hold you over. I get it.
EVEN I felt it was a waste of time, we already had it - just recently on Gamecube and it was EXCELLENT. Soo... I get it.
But where the hell is this?!
Even I would SQUINT and imagine I was playing RE2, just to survive the chills of good-graphics RE2 withdrawals.
Don't get me wrong, CAPCOM... I don't need it to be on the Wii.
Make mine a PS3 - Resident Evil 2... Oh My. I need to change my underwear. There's a leprechaun in my pants... and fried gold.
It's because the video game hates you and your favorite games. Favorite games =/= profit. If that were the case there'd be FFVII-5: Cloud's Second Destiny Of Truth.
RE2 is quite possibly the reason I shit my pants when I saw RE3 and almost skipped over RE4. I played that game alittle too long 1 weekend when my sister got it. Somehow someway I got fear from that game and couldn't touch a RE game until my parents bought me 3 for DC. I'm actually replaying RE2 just cause I never did get a chance to beat it (and I did thank you.) and cause well...I beleve 2 to have the best in storyline.
Actually RE0 was a damn good game, wanted or not, it did introduce some great ideas with the cool character switching concept, which hasn't been used again. Many missed it because it was on GC only, so IMO it makes sense for Capcom to make the most of the oppurtunity. Be honest guys, if RE4 went down well on Wii, you'd all do the same with RE0, especially when high brow developers don't want to make games like this for Wii. It plugs that gap nicely.
If Capcom remade RE2 and RE3 in a RE4 style for Wii/360, I'd definitely bag them again, since the tech is at a level to make it possible. RE2 on DS would be very welcome too.
What I'd really like to see on Wii is a nice original RE side story game, in the RE4 mold (not the UC on rails cheese), perhaps bring back Barry and Billy to kick some ass. This would be a nice compliment to RE5, which Wii most likely won't get. I really hope Capcom have something new and sweet on the cards, so Wii doesn't miss out.
Perhaps the RE0 japan only release, might be to see how well it does on import, before releasing it in other regions.

good read and i completely aggree man make mine 360 though
Add this to the list of games that came out on the Dreamcast but everyone got on the PS2 instead.
I have RE 2 & RE 3 on my Dreamcast. No matter how many times I've beaten them, I still play them to death.
I would be perfectly happy with RE2 and 3 on the DS.
But Resident Evil 0 on the Wii? Hoo-fucking-raah.

hmm..I have a habit of pushing comment when i'm not fully done.
Though I agree. We need an actual remake. Who the hell wants a RE0 port for the Wii? Who wanted RE0 to begin with? (besides som Rebecca luvin.)
360/PS3 remake. Lets make it happen.

WHY???
Here's why-
Easier to port:
A game that was ported from another platform (RE2 - PS1 port)
-or-
A game that was made on a platform that is similar to the system to be ported. (REzero - Gamecube AKA: Wii minus another gamecube and duct tape)
