Capcom confirms Resident Evil Wii in 2007; unannounced games coming soonOne of the greatest and bestest third-party devs revealed some good news for Wii owners yesterday in speaking with Game|Life's Chris Kohler. First up, Capcom confirmed the release of Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles this year. The game was first announced at last year's E3 alongside the most ridiculously short, 3-second muddy video. But that's three seconds more than nothing.
In addition to confirming RE, the company said there is "at least one" unannounced Capcom game coming to Wii in 2007. Gamers can expect the unveiling within the next few weeks. Don't you just love teasers?Link

From IGN:
Umbrella Chronicles Was Like RE4 Capcom later changed it to an on-rails shooter, the dev says. April 30, 2007 - The on-rails Wii shooter Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is set to tell the full, sprawling story of the survival horror series, bridging the gaps between RE remake, RE0, RE1, RE2 and RE3. What fans may not realize, however, is that the game was originally set to look and play like Resident Evil 4. Only after Capcom took a look at Nintendo's new hardware did it decide to mix up the formula.
"At the initial stage of development, Umbrella Chronicles' play system was similar to Resident Evil 4's," producer Masachika Kawata told Famitsu in a video interview. "But, it's extremely difficult on Wii. Too complicated to enjoy. Wii users like easiness. Umbrella Chronicles is not only for game enthusiasts. Complex operability can be an obstacle for Wii users. We want players to enjoy the game's horrifying and creepy world and its thrilling shooting action. By reducing enthusiast-only elements, players can purely enjoy the world."
To achieve this goal, Kawata admits that Capcom "… had to compromise to a lower difficulty level."
In addition to taking players through RE remake, RE0, RE1, RE2, and RE3, the game will also chronicle the downfall of the Umbrella Corporation. According to Capcom, all new missions have been designed to tell the tale. "New episodes between RE3 and RE4 are revealed in Umbrella Chronicles," according to the development studio.
Wait, what?
Way to go, Capcom.
What? Jesus Christ, stop acting like people are stupid.

I'm still looking forward to it. I think the on-rails shooter genre can go places still today. And it sounds like Capcom has faith in this title, unlike the Survivor series. The Wii is the perfect platform for games like this and Virtual Cop or House of the Dead.
