If you're breathing, chances are you've probably already played Resident Evil 4. Whether it was on the PlayStation 2 or the GameCube, it stands as one of the best games of that generation. But what if Capcom released a version for the Nintendo Wii?
According to rumors and speculation, along with three separate retailer's listings, the hit game is set to receive a Wii treatment sometime very soon.
Yesterday, a listing appeared on GameStop.com for Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, shipping in late June for $29.99). Later that day, Japanese retailer, Sofmap, put up a similar listing -- Biohazard 4 Wii Edition, shipping in May.
Now today, GoNintendo is reporting a similar listing in Blockbuster Video's computers. It should be noted that this is listed separately from the previously announced Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
The Sofmap and GameStop listings have since vanished, but a quick call to a local GameStop revealed that the game was still available for pre-order. We've contacted Capcom to get further clarification, but it's likely we won't hear anything more about this game (if it does exist) until April 13th, when Capcom has their Gamer Day event.
(Update: Not surprisingly, Capcom's response to this was that they haven't made any annoncements about a new
Resident Evil game. Which is entirely true, isn't it? We shall see...)

I might get the game, only if it has added features and collector's edition would be sweet.
Don't be bringing on the complaints of no games, granted it sucks there is a lack of games but Wii has only been around for 5 months! And before the Wii was released, not a lot of 3rd party developers were into making a Nintendo game, now they are working on them.
It takes longer than 5 months to make a game!
So just stop with this lack of games whining, PS3 doesn't have any games, 360 didn't really have any games at this time LAST year. oooo stop!
Why would you want a PS2 port for a Wii title for RE4? The GameCube version was reported better cause it just looks crisper and better looking. Just throw some new content on the GC version and put on 480p and 16:9
I've never felt so much panic from a game as that opening village scene.
It depends on how it would control.
I DID find Swathi's mom the other day. OOOOOOH YEEEEAHHHH you know what I'm talking about!
This can't be real....can it? I'm probably the biggest RE fan (and Capcom) at Destructoid, but even I can't see any reason to buy this game at the moment.
If it were a new RE game *Cough Umbrella Chronicles* I'd be on that like a supermodel. As it stands now, I can simply replay the Gamecube version on the Wii. Silly Capcom!
NOT..........
Your dad called. He said they botched the operation and he needs your vagina since his body rejected the donor vagina.
Like Schitzophrenicdontpanic (haha, Hitchhiker's guide?) said, it isn't a remake. There are two parks, the CV-RE4 part and then another part where you PLAY as old character but it is with NEW sections we haven't played before. Kind of like a BEHIND the seens of the original games.
The controls are great but I really wouldn't mind pointillation.
All this and we STILL haven't heard anything about RE5....sigh..
Same here DrRockso, but replace cheese with Summa and pizza with a 14 year old girl.
Though it better come with all the extra features from the PS2 version. In fact, it better come with SOME extra features at all, there is the chance they'll just port the GC version with a new control scheme.
... and I just thought of something, I wonder if we'll be able to use a GC controller? If we can, that's awesome, because those who fear change need not worry.
