I bought the GC version, then the limited edition with the tin case (didn't know it existed before) and the PS2 version.
And the Wii edition has been pre-ordered for a week.
Yes, I'm a sucker for RE games but I love it.
The end.

I also disagree with people saying RE4 controls the same as the other RE titles. I found RE2 nd REmake to be unplayable, but RE4 feels comletely different to me. And, no I don't regret buying the Cube version, and yes, I'll probably buy it for Wii.

I sold my RE4 for $20 the day the Wii news hit... so not at all. ;-)

RE4 was one of those games that more than merited paying the full retail price too, so I would have easily paid out the full sum back when it was first released, even if I knew that a superior Wii version was slated for a few years later.

I never bought it. I was going to, then I found out the PS2 version would have more content, so I decided to wait for a Nintendo re-release with full content. Not a bad decision, IMO.

I will bring more 480p widescreen Ada Wong to the internet than it can handle.

"Maybe people should only buy games that are re-made or re-released as player's choice? That's really not such a bad idea, actually, because if you have a very limited budget and you do that you are limiting yourself to pretty much the best of the best."

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.

LOL. I never thought to complain about that before Ian but... now that you mention it... hmmm

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #32 on:** June 18, 2007, 11:46:33 AM »

Buy these Wii games now before Nintendo puts BROWN LABELS on their new player's choice line-up.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #33 on:** June 18, 2007, 11:49:11 AM »

For the Wii Nintendo will be even meaner. Anyone who buys a Player's Choice title will have their Mii automatically wear shabby clothing to show how poor they are.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #34 on:** June 18, 2007, 01:14:29 PM »

Lol. Ian, couldn't you just take out the labels if they bothered you that much? You could probably get a scan of the unstriped original label and print it out if you really wanted to.

Of course there is also the option of buying the game second-hand... a used copy of RE4 for GC is probably going to be dirt cheap after the Wii version comes out, if it isn't already.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #35 on:** June 18, 2007, 02:04:09 PM »

I totally regret playing the game over a year before it got ported to another system. I also regret buying River Raid back in 1989, they ported it to PS2 in 2002!

What a fool I was.

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.

That's usually what I do. I buy a game new if I want it the day it comes out but after that I usually look for it used. Still the ugly hits versions often dominate the used sections as well.

It's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. The real money-making scheme though would be to sell "replacement" labels online without the stripe. They're advertised as replacements but the real *wink wink* design is to pay a little extra to get a non-ugly label.

Athrun Zala · « **Reply #38 on:** June 19, 2007, 05:57:35 AM »

No, I don't. It's the second-best game of the last gen, and was worth EVERY penny...

If I have enough money, I'll get it for Wii as well ^_^

Ian, this is the absolute best thing you have ever said. Brilliant!

If it wasn't a mediocre port, yeah, maybe a little bit, but they only repackaged the GC game with waggle, so I really don't feel I'm missing anything, when a game is good, and this one really is, its gameplay is tailored around the control and it shows, thats why the ganados move slowly, thats why the bosses have the patterns they have, I'm still waiting for that definitive ideal wii experience, and surely this port isn't it.

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.

Yeah, I've read that the Separate Ways mission with Ada in the PS2 version is practically like an entire game itself. That's what makes the Wii Edition worth it for me.

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