When this game hits other places, I expect no less anywhere else as well


Resident Evil 4 all the way Smilie

ooo Resi4 2nd place Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

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!

Should Guilty Gear XX by XX Acent Core?

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

WOW Smilie R4 is climbing up the ranks! Way to go Capcom and Nintendo! Smilie

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. Smilie

Almost total domination...

For reference, RE: Deadly Silence on DS only sold about 20,000 in its first week...

Anyway, the Top 30 MC chart is out now, so I'll post that all up when I get chance at work later Smilie

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?

Good point Smells like cheese. Now if only some gaming sites had covered the differences/whats new with the Wii version....

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.Smilie 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. Smilie

Avoid Games Like the Plague, productivity++

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.

I look foward to the end of the month, the

well I can say I've already pre-ordered my copy of
Resident Wiivil 4.


There was a feature on it in on On The Spot (Gamespot) last night, game looks the slickest it ever has Smilie LS

So it is budget then?
Smilie or Smilie ?
On subject, I thought Shooter games don't do well in Japan?

Yeah it is in all regions from what i understand. The U.K RRP is

Pffft, thirty quid for RE4? No thanks.

I thought it was going to be retailed at


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

Same here.

Im going to get this game for twenty five pound its cheap really plus its one of the best games out and its so old


ULTIMATE WII GAMER!!!
