There is absolutely no sign of Nintendo slowing down in Japan.
It's good that Resi4 has done so well.

I really can't believe that RE4 has been released four times now. But it's great that the game is still doing well.
Way to go Nintendo! And Capcom!

Its good to see the game still maintain some well deserved success.

I'm actually rather surprised. Though I shouldn't be really, if the Japanese can buy 12 DS lites each then they can buy four different versions of RE4.

Does this version have major additions over the Gamecube version? (I assume that the controls have changed but has much else been added?). If not then why don't people just get the Cube version preowned for 1/3 of the price?
YOU HAVE JUST LOST THE GAME. Sorry.

Because there's nothing else out on the Wii, unfortunately.
It's got all the extra PS2 stuff, and some new controls. A 'definitive version', if you like. (until they remake it 6 times like RE1 that is)
It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

It's got all the bonus missions from the PS2 edition and the controls are said to be great making this the best of all versions.
An easier mode has also been added. Plus the graphics have been slighlty polished. True Widescreen and progressive scan support also.
I'll eventually buy it and be rid of my GC version.

I feel the same excitement that japanese audience feel about Resi 4, I know it's essentially the same game but i myself have never played the PS2 version and the reworking of the controls makes the game more rewarding by all accounts.
