A remake of the GameCube’s remake of the PlayStation’s Resident Evil is headed to the Wii. Sound a bit confusing? We thought so too. But with all of the Resident Evil love going around on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Wii fans have felt slightly left out. With the inclusion of a light gun RE game keeping fans at bay for the moment, Capcom is hard at work on a remake of the original RE.
Dubbed Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil, the game will take the same route as Resident Evil 4 in that it will be a straight port of the GameCube code, only tweaked to incorporate Wii controls. Fans should be looking for this one to drop June of 2009 according to CVG.
Judging by the name “Resident Evil Archives”, it’s safe to assume that Wii fans might be getting the whole RE series from the beginning on, which would be awesome news for fans of the franchise. Though there has been no official word on RE2, 3, or Code Veronica making their way to the Wii, we’ll keep our eyes out for them.
