With the announcement today of the new Resident Evil titles coming to Wii, it was fairly safe to say that we'd have our hands on some form of video in short order. And now we do.
If you venture past the jump, we have the Japanese trailer for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles which is, if you'll recall from earlier this morning, the follow-up to 2008's on-rails shooter, The Umbrella Chronicles. It looks like more of the same, which wasn't bad (but not great; I personally found it rather tedious after a bit).
I'll freely admit that I'm more interested in playing the Wii-makes of the original Resident Evil and RE: Zero but this could still be good for a rental to get my shooter fix. What do you think?

If they're just doing that with REmake and RE0 I'm going to yell loudly. Not in a good way.
Anyway, since they're already going through with this, they had better improve upon the horrid way co-op was handled in Umbrella Chronicles. I hate sharing a life bar, it's garbage. I don't want to die because my partner is shit at the game. Also, Quick Time Events, get rid of them. It's an on-rails shooter, it has no place in the game in my opinion and only served to agitate people and break the flow of the game in Umbrella Chronicles.
Where's the machine guns? I can't see them. Why? Because they didn't show any, that's why.
I completely agree about the QTE's. I kept dying at a certain boss fight because my didn't couldn't figure them out at all. Then my brother jumped in and we got it on the first go
I was comparing RE2 and RE5.
What I will say though is it's funny that third-parties don't realize "spin-off" games have no point on a system if the "mainline" games don't even appear on said system. A lot of "core" gamers bought Umbrella Chronicles thinking it would fund a true Wii RE experience, but now it turns out it simply funded the abomination of Dead Rising: CTYD, two horribly lack-luster ports in RE1 and RE0, and another light-gun game.
For those who thoroughly love light-gun games, good for you (no sarcasm intended). I, however, personally think the genre is too shallow to pay $50 for a title.
Yes, I sure do suck at reading.
This game is looking great!
Loved Umbrella Chronicles and this entry looks even better!
The Wii...
Look! It's moving... It's alive. It's alive!
The head shots should be easier...
