Resident Evil 3 Coming To Wii? (Update)

Another remake/port? Unfortunately, this one not as welcome as the Pokémon Gold/Silver remake.

Capcom’s press page has a listing for Resident Evil 3 for the Wii. What gives? First Resident Evil Archives, then Darkside Chronicles retelling RE2’s story…now this? Is Capcom trying to build up a fanbase on Wii in preparation for a proper, new Resident Evil game?

Let’s hope so. Everything else from inhouse Capcom on Wii lately hasn’t exactly been very exciting. We’ll probably learn more about RE3 on Wii in June.

Update: Looks like this may be a typo from Capcom. The press page says Resident Evil 3 (Wii), but Chris and Jill are in the concept art. Resident Evil 1 and Resident Zero are NOT mentioned on the press page at all. Although, it isn’t too hard to believe Capcom is working on a Resident Evil 3 port.

Update 2: “It’s either a shop or a typo. False rumor.” - Christian Svensson, Capcom.

Hm, last (and first) time I played 3 was on Dreamcast. I liked it well enough, but I'm not that much of a completionist to purchase a straight port just to have the possibility of playing RE0-4 on Wii.

Although... :)

EDIT: Heh, fake.

Are you nut? The screens are from RE1!

yeah the images are from the RE remake.

RE3 remake doesn't excite me, it was a pretty short game, and if they're doing it why not doing Resident Evil 2 instead? Oh, right, because they're doing that darkside chronicles bullcrap no one asked for.

Capcom needs to get a clue.

it's just RE 1

Some people don't realize that when a game REmade it does not have to be bought by those who've played it in the past.I mean if they do that's good but the true purpose of re-releasing a game is to entice those that never even played one of the aforementioned titles.Capcom approach to the Wii has been shaky but I believe their finally on the right path towards true success on the platform.
