It's been reported that Resident Evil 4 for the Wii will be censored. Technically, this is true. The original source, Next-Gen.biz, said:
"...a great portion of the blood and gore has been excised from the game. Headshots no longer kill, limbs can no longer be shot off."
Now us flag-waving, zombie killing, corn growing Americans can't do with just that! We need to see those zombies shot in the head and have them go down. Otherwise, our aiming skills were all for naught. We went ahead and contacted Capcom, and here's the word straight from them:
RE 4 Wii Edition content in Japan is based on their previous releases, the US version content will be similar to previous releases here (not talking about any of the Wii Edition functions with the controls of course, just about gameplay content).
So there you have it. The U.S. games won't be censored, but the Japanese game will, as it has been in the past. Crisis averted. Now, I think you finally have time to make a profile.

that is what the "make a profile" link in the story links too....
@Ambulance-Y
the rumor more so came from Japanese gameplay since the game is out already. Japan has it censored so people thought the US was too.
loved it on GC and PS2
love the Wii
Do we need a 3rd port of RE4? NO!
I feel kinda bad for Japan, though; for all the Jack Thompson outbursts and knee-jerk media reactions we have, Japan is actually censoring its violent material.
It's a cruel twist of fate that after my feverish and ultimately succesful hunt for the GC version of RE4 the Wii version was announced not long afterwards, but nonetheless I'm still gonna get it for the Wiimote aiming (always fun ^^) and the Ada missions.
