| Resident Evil 5 Arrives Posted on 3/13/2009 by Rombie |
|
 My copy of RE5 has arrived this morning, and I'll be off playing it. Most people I know have finished the game a couple of times now, having gotten the import last week. In any case, check your local stores, patiently await your deliveries, and enjoy. See you online! Edit - If you have the US edition of the game, check page 30 of your manual to see a list of "Kijuju Survivors" that includes ResidentEvilFan.com and many other fans of the series. |

| Wii Owners Get Some Love With Darkside Chronicles Posted on 3/13/2009 by Rombie |
|
 Using the current hype around the series with Resident Evil 5's release to the 360 and PS3, Capcom have taken the chance to let Nintendo Wii owners they've not forgotten about them since the release of Umbrella Chronicles. An announcement has come of "Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles" which looks to tell the story of Resident Evil 2 (yet again) in a light gun format - however, much like Umbrella Chronicles, expectations are for additional chapters as well. However, Capcom appears to have listened to issues surrounding Umbrella Chronicles and is looking to change the style of the game, including dodge abilities, having your partner on screen (ala. Time Crisis), and improving on the graphics and cutscenes. An official website for the Japanese version, complete with trailer but little else at this stage, has been put online. You can view that at http://www.capcom.co.jp/bio_dc/ Additional to this, Capcom has announced plans to release the previous Japan only ports of Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero to the Wii with their added Wii-mote support at a lower price point. Unlike RE4 Wii, these games didn't highly benefit from the Wii-mote upgrade, however if you never owned the GameCube editions these titles will be a good chance to pick the games up. Capcom has not yet announced a release date for any of these titles yet, but expectations are they will all be released before the end of 2009. |

| Prima and Piggyback Provide Resident Evil 5 Strategy (Updated) Posted on 3/10/2009 by Rombie |
|
 Prima Games and Piggyback are teaming up to provide a detailed strategy and secrets guidebook for Resident Evil 5. Given the quality and detail presented in the Piggyback guides I've gotten over the years, including numerous behind the scenes details and artwork, this guide should be amazing. Aside from the standard guide, they are also releasing a Limited Edition version with hard cover and a 12 month wall calendar. In preparation for the guides release along with the game this Friday, Prima have put up a feature page where you can check out a preview of the guide and buy it, and other Resident Evil guides, online. This link is: http://www.primagames.com/features/resident-evil/. Prima have also provided us with an 8 page sample of the guide, which you can view right here in a PDF format. Please note the file is approx. 7.5MB and you will need Adobe Acrobat to view the contents. We are also looking at running a competition soon, which will provide some lucky readers with copies of the collectors edition as well. Stay tuned. |
