$29.99 does it for me.

[Matrix]

awesome,must buy for me since I got rid of my old gamecube copy

[john tv]

So does it have all the extra content of the PS2 version, too?

[_dementia]

Hopefully the new definitive version.

I'm curious to see if there's a market for this though. I imagine Wii owners who were interested in the game just played the GCN version.

[grandjedi6]

So does it have all the extra content of the PS2 version, too?

I believe it does

[3pheMeraLmiX]

Definitive version for sure :P

[SHOTEH FOCK OP]

Remain strong... don't tripledip.

[Dragona Akehi]

So does it have all the extra content of the PS2 version, too?

Yeah it does. Famitsu already confirmed that. The only real question now is if it's using GC (or more hopefully GC+) assets or PS2 ones. Regardless of comparison shots Gaffers have made, I'm not convinced it's using the GC engine. I really wouldn't put it past Capcom to port the PS2 version...

[Stitch]

this will be my next wii game!

[MindCollizion]

well since I didn't pick up the PS2 version since I played and passed and loved the GameCube one, I'm interested in picking this one up!

[grandjedi6]

Pokemon Battle Revolution and Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition comes out on the same day, I wonder which one GAF will choose to buy

[Cruceh]

Is that the actual boxart? I like it simple.
I'll probably buy too. I just need a Wii first.

[Avutta1978]

waggle RE4 for me wooohoo

Its a placeholder

Hmm, yeah, I highly doubt it won't be using GC assets...but that would really suck if it isn't. Considering how soon it's coming out, I have to think they just took the GC version, "finished it", so to speak, threw in some waggle, and poof--here's the Wii version, in stores in just six weeks (in Japan, anyway).

[EverSoTrendy]

Cube version supported DPL-II also. :/

[MaddenNFL64]

Now all we need is confirmed GC assets, and i'm set (Even though i have RE4 for GC :P).

Also, why not 24 bit color & improved texture resolution? I know, I know pipe dreams...

[Y2Kev]

I'm getting it!

[MindCollizion]

I am almost 100% certain it is the PS2 version because I doubt they would go back and code all the stuff that they added into the PS2 version for the GameCube version and then ported that over. Prove me wrong, though, Capcom...

[yoopoo]

Neat. Is June the US release date, or japanese?

[Avalon]

If I ever get a Wii I'll definitely buy it.

GC looks like garbage on widescreen HDTV because of the lack of widescreen and so I'm playing the PS2 most of the time...

[grandjedi6]

US release, Japan is getting it May 31st

[psy18]

Whoa... I'll buy this. Again.

[yoopoo]

US release, Japan is getting it May 31st

Good thing... by June I'll be able to walk into a store and pick up a Wii from the shelves.

[Grecco]

Double dippin for the definite version as well

[Xellos]

Sold! Budget price, waggle knife/QTE, pointer aiming, and true widescreen FTW.

[MindCollizion]

pfft! Keep dreaming! i kid i kid!

.... damn, imagine!?

[Haunted]

Awesome, now we just need a European release date. please?

[RaidenZR]

AT $30 this will surely sell like gangbusters. Nice call Capcom.

[Vyer]

I wasn't as excited (though I thought RE4 was outstanding) until I saw the true widescreen - and, in particular - the price.

I'd buy that for $29.99.

[Mrbob]

Wow same release date as Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

June 25, the day I'm spending 90 bucks on remakes of games I already own.

[TheWolf]

yeah, i'll wait to see how the visuals turn out. i won't be getting it if it looks worse than the Cube version, and i take comfort in the fact that i KNOW GAF will be full of comparison shots of the final product when the game hits. i mean, the PC version looked real ****ed up.

if it looks as good as the Cube version then i'll pick it up, since i never played through the Seperate Ways stuff.

[AgentOtaku]

holy shit this came outta nowhere

....looks like the definitive version for me as well. Always wanted to replay my copy at some point but the "letterboxed" ratio kills it for me (in the same way I can't replay Beyond good and evil)

maybe they will include the option to play with classic GC controller as well???

[joetachi]

pfft! Keep dreaming! i kid i kid! .... damn, imagine!?

If by june people still cant find a Wii, i would declare the console war over because it's too craizy to imagine.

[Glass Joe]

as long as it's what it seems to be -- the GC version with the PS2 bonus features (widescreen and the extra levels) and waggle i'll double dip and pick this bad boy up for $29.99. sounds hot -- i just hope it's also compatable with the Classic Controller or Gamecube pad, just in case they screw up the control.

[Eteric Rice]

Consider it bought.

I just want to know what version they're using.

[suaveric]

where does this info (true 16x9) come from? it looks like it came from some store's website, which doesn't make it true. i hope it is, then i'll buy.

[Shin Johnpv]

30 dollars, True Widescreen DPLII, and PS2 content with the GC based on the gamecube engine, instant ****ing purchase.

[Smokey]

$30?

Mine.

I believe it is compatible with the classic controller

[jko]

never been a fan of the series, not a fan of the genre....but $29.99?? seals the deal.

[joeposh]

Pippity poppity, give me the zoppity. Count me in for one!

[Dragona Akehi]

Oh I realise that it would make most sense to just "finish up" the GC version... but I just can't trust them. :P

[schuelma]

1st day purchase for me- never played the original, so this is basically a brand new game for me- so for 30 dollars plus waggle? Awesome deal

[dragon_feces]

I love how this is going to sell better than UC.

[AdmiralViscen]

Is it based on the Cube version of the game?

If the answer is yes, I will likely buy this.

[cvxfreak]

I'm not buying this at all.

Express mail from Japan just isn't fast enough. :(

[Tiktaalik]

I'll probably buy this when I get a widescreen tv.

[rkenshin]

But in this version, you can't use an action replay to make Ada lose the bottom half of her dress
