No 16:9 support?! Damn. That's essentially what I was hoping for. I still have my GameCube copy, as well as the others in the RE series ... and there's no way that I'd part with them. Thanks for the heads up, sir. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

*Based on how the game has horrible controls, graphics, writing, acting, gameplay, and "horror elements" #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

But porting it to the Wii and using the controls properly would mean RE4-alyzing the game, like the Dead Rising port for the GC? That could actually turn out pretty cool...!
I never played this game, and I know for a fact it's good. Not to mention, it looks gawgeous. I welcome it ^_^ #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

These are no different. Only thing they have is the ability to use the Wii controller and the classic controller. Theyre not enhanced in the slightest. They dont have Wii motion controls and they didnt get turned into widescreen games, which is kind of understandable since the backgrounds arent 3d.
In the face of the God Of War collection, this is a complete ripoff.
or maybe the God Of War collection is a great deal. i dont know. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

You're pretty much on the mark with this game though. We need a Resident Reboot. :P #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

@Outkastprince: Resident Reboot? #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...
10/29/09
And you know.. its 2 great games.. for 40 dollars.. so theyre 20 dollars each.. with graphical upgrades and trophies..
Re1 and RE0 are.. nothing really.
Im not even against Re1 or Re1, im a fan. I quite enjoyed them, and im also not clamoring for a Wii controlled remake, that would be too much work and would probably constitute full price, im just asking for this to be cheaper. or for both Re1 and Re0 to be packed together for 30 bucks, like the Metroid trilogy was.
Even Square Enix throws in a new dungeon or two in their lazy money grabbing FF rereleases. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

Ash needs his own kick ass game someday (a good one) where he's kicking some evil butt and taking names. Maybe give us a FPS+RPG type game like Borderlands, as long as I can level up that chainsaw.
Added bonus if they could let us unlock his Autolycus character from Hercules. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

It's too bad they never finished Reboot, I still watch the reruns on a retro channel here when I can. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

I'm not surprised you missed those, they didn't air till 2001 like 4 years after the series had ended with that musical. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

Back when RE came out 3D games still hadn't reached their potential (it was a pretty bad time, not a lot of the games that received good reviews back then are even playable now; look at Tomb Raider), so the camera angles and controls weren't as much of an issue since they were bad for pretty much every third person game back then and RE still really delivered on the puzzles and atmosphere. Frankly, Resident Evil is one of the few 3D games from the pre-Mario 64 period that is still highly enjoyable by todays standards. Hell, it even had a number of imitators. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

Resident Evil 4 could be justified - the Wiimote severely enhanced that game (while making it ridiculously easy but I digress). But RE0..?
It seems Capcom are on a mission. A mission to disappoint. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...
10/29/09
But you're right on RE0, I doubt many of us were requesting it.
They should give us the ability to catch these Zombies, train them and force them to listen to my puns. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...

Think about it though, it's not very easy to do so. The game uses pre-rendered backgrounds set at a 4:3 aspect ratio. Pre-rendered backgrounds are like animated pictures. You can't magically make them widescreen without going back and recreating every single background, and a lot of the backgrounds probably were not designed for a widescreen aspect ratio, so they'd probably have to do some touching up to their environments to better suit the new aspect ratio. They'd have to change the points at which the camera changes it's angle in some part as well.
Yeah, not worth it for a quick cash-in port. #residentevilarchivesresidentevilzero...
