Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Confirmed For WiiAuthor: Pete Haas

Capcom's been strongly hinting that the Wii would receive another Resident Evil game soon and now we know what it is. The latest issue of Japanese gaming mag Famitsu has a preview for a Wii light gun game entitled Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (well, Biohazard in Japan but Resident Evil here).
Like Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside is a rail shooter. Judging by the pictures of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield in the article (via Kotaku), it's set at least partly during Resident Evil 2. Umbrella Chronicles featured segments from several different RE games so you'd expect Darkside to jump around in time as well. No release date was provided for Darkside. It's not even clear whether it will be released in the United States, though that does seem likely considering that Capcom promised new game announcements at the San Francisco launch party for Resident Evil 5. They're not going to unveil games to a mob of American gamers and then go, "By the way, you're not getting this." Note that they said there would be more than one game announcement, though - could it be the rumored Code: Veronica remake? |
