So I actually ended up buying it yesterday after being urged to by a friend of mine who's already beaten it. He wants to play through the whole thing together, so we'll see how I like it.

Ok, I bought the Gamecube version when it first came out. I bought a 2nd copy to replace the first which was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. I still have that copy. I bought my friend the PS2 version a year ago and he loved it. Now he's my roomate (he still has the PS2 RE4 but no more PS2...sigh) so I'll eventually get to play all the extra stuff the PS2 version had..... until....

I bought the Wii version yesterday and BAM, I get the best of both world, plus the added "light gun" controls. Now I gotta say.... if you have the Gamecube version already, the Wii version is worth it for the added content (from PS2 version), the new better shooting controls, and the $30 pricetag. Now if you have the PS2 version, then it may not really be worth it (unless you REALLY care for slightly improved graphics and a Wii control scheme).

I figure that I'll eventually give my gamecube away to a friend, and I can give them RE4 with it. My roomate will have his PS2 copy, and I will have my Wii copy. I don't regret buying this game this many times for this many platforms (I actually bought more copies for other friends as gifts, the Wii version makes it my 7th RE4 purchase, and I may buy someone else the Wii version).

Pale and Artisto16, I know also don't like you until my copy comes in.

You guys convinced me. I think I'll get the Wii version....

Now I just need to get a Wii first. Where in the heck are they?!

There's a Classic Controller icon on the back of the case. I'm guessing that's just a mistake because I recall reading that the Wii edition didn't have other control options. Can anyone confirm this? While I'm all for motion controls, having an option to support traditional controls would make this already amazing version even better. Hey, I like great deals.

I'd probably keep the GCN version anyway since I'd only get $1 for trading it in and it's just nice to have anyway.

as posted on the other RE4Wii thread, it does support the classic controller AND the GC controller...

Awesome! Even if you hate Wii controls it gives you the option to play without.

I bet it was a simple matter for Capcom to get it to work with a standard controller since it was originally designed for that...

Going by reviews and impressions can do that fairly well, too though and then you don't have to wait. But the game will cost more and everyone here will bug your ass for not giving games that get 6's and 7's a chance.

I own no Player's Choice Cube games because I hate the yellow stripe on the box. Considering everyone makes their "hits" releases ugly I'm sure they do that on purpose to get people to avoid holding out for the price drop. Well it f*cking worked on me. Bravo game industry.

I am with you on this. I hate those yellow stripe player choice labels also. Most of my collection is the black spine and then I have these 3 that just stick out. It bugs me so much. I've even bought games from EBGames and then asked if I could change the cover with another one that didn't have the yellow stripe. They look at you a bit funny because it is a different request but they let me change the covers. Now, whenever I see that a game is going player's choice, I look to find stores that have a lot of the game in stock. That way, when the price comes down, they still have a few with the black label left mixed with all the new yellow.

Hahahaha.....Wow, I never thought Nintendo Fanboys were so aesthetically attached to their collections. How metro-sexual, OCD, or cute (which ever you least prefer)?

I finally got Resident Evil 4 on Wii and the one thing I regret is having to have bothered getting it.

I can now understand the issues and I don't know if the Cube version helps. So all I can say is I regret getting the Wii version.

Actually it is more than the GC packaged with the Wiimote (BTW from what I read the Wii aiming is great), it also includes true widescreen and the extras from the PS2 version.

It never cease to amuse me the great irony that a wii fan is often a graphics whore when it comes to defend the flaws of the console, like crappy ports.

EasyCure · « **Reply #62 on:** June 28, 2007, 04:05:58 AM »

i dont understand what the control complaints are about for this game, i picked up on it in no time and its my first time even play RE4. i've seen it played at a friends house on GC and he looked so clumsy when trying to aim that it turned me off to it.

im glad the wii version came along or else i might never of picked this title up and even though im ony a few chapters in i can really see why this game was so acclaimed.

best $3 i ever spent

(thanks to trade ins that is)

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #63 on:** June 28, 2007, 07:18:39 AM »

Nothing to see here.

Perhaps you haven't been paying attention but this is NOT a crappy port. THe point is that the game is not a port of the GC one (You could argue it is a port of the PC and PS2 one) so your statement is not truthful. Also where did I talk about graphics? I said it includes true widescreen meaning no stupid black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, meaning I get a fuller picture. Regardless lets say I did say something to the effect that RE4 has better graphics on the Wii (which does have the best version graphically, if you want to see a crappy port check out the PC version), how is that being a graphics whore?

You want to the truth, even if it had no Wii controls (which I hear are quite good) I would probably pick this up because I own a plasma TV and black bars can cause burn in. Anyway Perhaps you should read what someone says before giving your often misguided opinion or wiggle in totally unrelated points. We get it, you hate Wii games even though you most likely have not played games with Wii controls like RE4 or Zelda: TP.

I agree especially since I never played the PS2 one (I didn't want the graphical downgrade).

Sorry to disagree, but some lame extras and a widescreen I wouldn't be able to use does not make a great port in my eyes, I want good games, and that means good controls, not crammed-in ones. I porbably wouldn't hate it, but its not worth the $30 they are asking.

The controls work extremely well in RE4: Wii Edition and is more than worth the $30 you pay for the game.

RE4: Wii Edition is the all around best version of the game I have played and I would qualify it as a great game. What's with all these complaints about the controls? They work great!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #67 on:** June 28, 2007, 09:21:38 AM »

$30 is better than $40 for RE2.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #68 on:** June 28, 2007, 09:54:37 AM »

Actually no one is complaining except someone who has never played it, which I tend to not take seriously. Also to Mantidor if you are going to quote someone make sure you get the right quote and know what you are talking about. Obviously you haven't realized but I also own an Xbox 360 as well and I usually get the games with the better visuals unless there is something special that one version has that another doesn't (WIth the Wii RE4 you get the best of both worlds, the best visuals AND Wiimote controls).

So you haven't played the game?

Stop "Ianing" and shut yer yap until you actually play the game.

For your information, the new controls make the game infinitely more enjoyable than the GC version was. Being able to point, aim and go in a heartbeat is vastly less cumbersome than the analogue stick aiming.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #70 on:** June 28, 2007, 11:18:18 AM »

I disappointed that Leon doesn't get to wear any of his treasure.

It should've been an unlockable bonus -- wear your Salazar family crown, pearl bracelets, etc, and at the same time INCREASE YOUR DEFENSE. Much more sensible than putting Ashley in a lame suit of armor.

mantidor · « **Reply #71 on:** June 28, 2007, 01:55:23 PM »

Of course is less cumbersome, but is just a gimm!ck, since it worked perfectly fine in the GC, if the game was unplayable for some reason you may had a point, but RE4 is designed in such way that you NEVER need to point, aim and go in heartbeat. If thats really the "improvement" I'm even less interested, the game wasn't exactly hard, this just apparently makes it stupidly easy.

I'm not saying I'll never try it, it looks like a fun way to waste ten minutes, I'm just never going to expend a dime on it and I don't feel like I'm missing much.

For the record, the controls aren't a gimmick they are a step above any shooting game using a traditional controller.

Somebody should edit mantidor's posts so they say this...
