Today, Capcom gave out a release date for the new Resident Evil games, entitled Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. The game will release on November 13th in North America for a price of $49.95
The game will include two-player co-op mode and the function to use a
Wii Zapper, which will release November 19th. So you gotta wait like a week to use the
Wii Zapper with Umbrella Choricles.
“Resident Evil has become one of the premier franchises in the games industry, with more than 30 million RE games sold around the world,” said Jack Symon, director, product marketing, Capcom Entertainment.
“The innovative controller functionality of the Wii will allow us to design innovative, original game play never before seen in a Resident Evil game. With The Umbrella Chronicles, we’re adapting Resident Evil to the innovations of the Wii.”
The game will be on rails. So that means you are in first person view and the camera moves for you. You just have to point and shoot. So this game style of the game is wa different then any other Resident Evil game. This press release
"reveals the back story behind the fall of the Umbrella Corporation by exploring locations from Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3 as well as new never-before-seen locations, such as Umbrella’s stronghold."
So keep these two dates in mind. Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles release November 13th, and the
Wii Zapper release November 19th.
I will for sure pick up this game! I've been looking for this game since they released the first screenshot! Im very ecited to use the
Wii Zapper to kill zombies. Aren't you?
