After upgrading Biohazard 4 with Wii aiming controls, Capcom delivered an unchanged port of Biohazard 0 to the Wii, presumably because many RE fans back in the day didn't own GameCubes, or got into the series with RE4 Wii or REUC. The REmake is the final game from last gen that can be ported over to the Wii, unless Capcom decides to do the Outbreak games later on.
Like Biohazard 0, the Wii version of REmake is virtually identical to the GC version, including the lack of widescreen support (black bars on the sides). There's only one disc this time, as well as four different control schemes. Zero only featured three, so REmake brings to the table a control scheme that allows you to control the game horizontally with the Wii Remote. Not much else is different though; you aim your weapon with the B Button and then navigate the menus with the other buttons. There is no waggle in this port like was previously reported.
Other than that, I don't know what else to say about this port. I'm still early in the game so I'll have to see if that Grenade Launcher ammo multiplying glitch is still in the game (I doubt it, it was gone from the PAL version over 6 years ago). The graphics are still pretty nice, even if they are pre-rendered. Many next-gen games don't have visuals that look as pleasing as the backgrounds in REmake, so those have stood the test of time pretty well. As usual, if you hate classic RE, this isn't for you (go play UC instead if you wanna know the story -- that game does a pretty good job of retelling RE0 and RE1).
With all the attention turned to RE5 at this point, the only value this port can provide at this point is a sort of back history as to the origins of Chris, Jill and Wesker. I think it's a bit amusing how the boxart for the game is worse than the original GC version's, showing a gigantic artwork of Jill (anyone who's seen the RE5 TGS trailer will know what's up). Still, it's pretty inevitable that Capcom's got future plans for RE and Wii, and RE2 being up next is a pretty decent guess. Still, we've probably gotta wait until after RE5 to see what that is.
