E3 2006: Wii Release Unknown, Resident Evil Confirmed

Perhaps two of the biggest questions surrounding this year’s E3 conference remains shrouded in mystery. Nintendo’s Wii still does not have a release date or a final selling price. Despite this, gamers are swooning over the console’s unique remote controller and loving the fact a specialized version of Resident Evil will be made exclusively for Wii.

Capcom has confirmed the Resident Evil title and it’s thought it might just arrive in stores before Resident Evil 5 comes out for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The famed horror action shooter with actual movie like jump scenes, gore and a cool story line will “combine the series' intense gaming experience and atmosphere with the revolutionary control system of the Wii.”

The Resident Evil franchise is huge and its coming to Wii is big. By incorporating the remote, this version of Resident Evil promises to be like nothing before it. This might even be a reason to get past the name and buy the Wii.

As some big titles for Wii have been unveiled, and Nintendo has allowed gamers to get up close and personal with the console, the release date and price seem to be delayed because a final bundle hasn’t been picked. It’s still thought the console will come in much cheaper than Sony’s PS3, though.
