Umbrella Chronicles Was Like RE4 Capcom later changed it to an on-rails shooter, the dev says.
The on-rails Wii shooter Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (http://wii.ign.com/objects/827/827187.html) is set to tell the full, sprawling story of the survival horror series, bridging the gaps between RE remake, RE0, RE1, RE2 and RE3. What fans may not realize, however, is that the game was originally set to look and play like Resident Evil 4. Only after Capcom (http://games.ign.com/objects/025/025017.html) took a look at Nintendo's new hardware did it decide to mix up the formula.
"At the initial stage of development, Umbrella Chronicles' play system was similar to Resident Evil 4's," producer Masachika Kawata told Famitsu in a video interview. "But, it's extremely difficult on Wii. Too complicated to enjoy. Wii users like easiness. Umbrella Chronicles is not only for game enthusiasts. Complex operability can be an obstacle for Wii users. We want players to enjoy the game's horrifying and creepy world and its thrilling shooting action. By reducing enthusiast-only elements, players can purely enjoy the world."
To achieve this goal, Kawata admits that Capcom "… had to compromise to a lower difficulty level."

I wish that Capcom would do a remake of RE 2 and 3 on the 3DS.

Yes I got your PM.
I am really happy I didn't bite on Darkside Chronicles. A mod could me this to Nintendo Chart if they want. It would get more attention there, I just didn't know if this was new info or not so I posted it here instead (& i didn't feel like looking for the thread)
