No Resident Evil Zero Wii for Europe News

Wii News by Tom Bramwell

28 February, 2008

Capcom isn't planning to bring the Wii version of Resident Evil Zero to the US or Europe, the publisher said today.

"We currently have no plans to bring the Wii version of Resident Evil 0 that you saw in Famitsu yesterday to either US or Europe at this point in time," a spokesperson told Eurogamer.

"It will most likely be a Japan-only release."

Resident Evil Zero was originally released on GameCube back in the olden days, and was the second proper Cube Resi after the Resident Evil 1 remake.

Unlike the latter-day Resi 4, Zero deployed Resi's old-school control system and rule-set, complete with all your old favourites like door-opening animations, shifting camera perspectives rather than third-person and little in the way of context-sensitive activity.

The Famitsu shots suggest we won't see much change to the control scheme, so it's unlikely to reflect the Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition elements that you all liked and we didn't like so much. Which is what Bertie meant to say yesterday, obviously, but he was in a rush.

We'll let you know if Capcom changes its mind.

I didn't want it anyway, but Europe is screwed once again.

yeah but why?

out of the 3 regions, Japan is the smallest gaming market (probabbly biggest in PROPORTION of gamers to non-gamers, but totals are less). I don't get why publishers do this at all, especially when it's already obvious they're squeezing money out by remaking games...

Played it (and all other REs) on my gamecube and I don't own a Wii so I for one don't care, but I do care enough to comment obviously (to say how good the games were on gamecube esp RE4 and RE-Make)

Who cares? Out of all the RE games this would be the last on my list for a Wii remake. Its the worst RE imo.

We don't need it anyway, we need Wii Fit because we're all fat in the west.

Anyone who thinks RE0 was the the worst RE clearly haven't played Outbreak. Or have a brain. Probably both.

Just buy the gamecube version if you want it that badly. I recently bought RE 0, 1, 2, 3 & Code Veronica off ebay all for £35.

Ahh, that's too bad. Don't do the same thing for RE5 though, or I'll *gasp* have to import it :)
