Resident Evil Wii
So, as Resident Evil 5 comes out for the PS3 and Xbox 360, the Wii gets some zombie action of it’s own. Well, sort of.

Capcom has announced that they will port Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero to the Wii. The original Resident Evil was already ported to the Gamecube and Resident Evil Zero was an exclusive Gamecube game. Resident Evil Zero’s Wii port has been out in Japan for a while now, and it’s finally being released to the rest of the world. Both Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero have been refitted to support the Wiimote and Nunchuk. I’m assuming that means they’ll both have an aiming system like Resident Evil 4 did on the Wii. If not, then there really isn’t any point in buying them; you can just play the Gamecube versions with the Wii.

So, two down, one to go. Many Resident Evil fans, including myself, want a full blown remake of Resident Evil 2. It’s easily my favorite of all the RE games so far, closely followed by RE4; and it needs a makeover with current generation consoles. It looks like we’re getting our wish…

So, Chris Redfield has been a major character in the Resident Evil story. He debuted in the first RE, back in 1996, and has made numerous appearances in other RE titles since then; as you know, he is also the main character in Resident Evil 5.

GameTrailers has put together this video showing us how he’s changed over the past 13 years. Watch the video to see how he’s gone from blocky pixels, to the roid raging hunk of a man he is now.

Resident Evil 5 is out in Japan now, and hits shelves in the US and UK this Friday!

The third episode of the Resident Evil Retrospective gives us the history of Resident Evil: Code Veronica for the Sega Dreamcast, and Resident Evil Zero for the Nintendo Gamecube. Both great games, and both in my top 4 favorite RE games so far.

Watch Parts 1, and 2 for the history of Resident Evil 1-3.

This has to be one of the best video game trailers I’ve ever seen. If you’re into the Resident Evil series, you’ll love this trailer. All the history with Chris, Wesker, and at the end of the trailer, I’m guessing the hidden face is that of Claire, Chris’s sister.

Who knows, it might even be Jill Valentine; we haven’t seen her since Resident Evil 3. It could be her because in a trailer for Resident Evil 5 last year, there was a single frame, and it showed Jill’s tombstone. Why bother showing her tombstone if she has nothing to do with the game? Also because Chris and Jill were the two main characters in Resident Evil 1.

Resident Evil 5 is hitting shelves on March 13th, for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Continue reading this post to see some new gameplay footage.
