Resident Evil 4 Wii's Cut... As In Censored!

For Resident Evil fans and Wii owners this piece of news is going to be a wooden foot in the balls – Resident Evil 4 for the Wii is going to be an innocent title. That's right boys and girls, limbs will no longer fall, blood won't be splattering here and there as you were used to and so on. Add this to the simplified control scheme and what do you get? A great survival-horror video game screwed up by the Wii.

Updates:

The Japan version always was censored, even in the GCN & PS2 versions, this is nothing new on the Wii. The US version will not be censored like the Japan version is. (ender_01)

1 - Kind of funny.

Maybe they will do just like Spielberg's ET remake, replace all the guns with walkie-talkies. That would be hilarious.

By the way, I played RE4 on the Gamecube and it was by far the best game on the Gamecube and one of the best game of the year for me. So I am not making fun of RE4, just about this censoring for the Wii.

2 - I would love to see

Resident Evil vs Mario. You could have (by the way i mean i'd love to see it as a joke) you could have zombie mushrooms. And instead of shooting zombies in the head or slicing them up with chainsaws, you jump on their head instead. And to get to different parts of the mansion, you travel down a green pipe. You could topple zombies in a dominoe fashion by kicking a turtle their direction. Yes sir, that's how you Nintendoify a game. And i actually wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo made a game like that

Yeeow MAMAMIA! MY JUGULAR!

I though Nintendo was trying to get rid of its image as a kiddie platform why would they sensor a game like resident evil 4

I don't think its Nintendo's doing, The Wii has a parental lock, one of the reasons Nintendo is more open to games with gore.
i think Capcom wants it to be for the whole family?XD

I tried to ignore the thougth but this proves and settles one big fact: Wii is a kiddy console. Just when things were getting balanced with MK:Armageddon and Godfather near Super Paper Mario and Mario Party 8, comes a major strike against grown up gamers. Smahe on you Capcom for hurting a great game and shame on you Nintendo for turing Wii into an absolutly childish console.

7 - Story is INCORRECT

They are comparing the Japanese release (Biohazard 4) to the US release (Resident Evil 4).

The Japan version always was censored, even in the GCN & PS2 versions, this is nothing new on the Wii. The US version will not be censored like the Japan version is, and that is confirmed.

This story is incorrect, so please hold your kiddie jokes for another story :)

Also from above @ Stormflood:
The point of the Wii version is that it is the definitive version of RE:4. It takes the extra content from the PS2, and the better engine of the GCN, and combines them into one game, with the OPTION of using the Wii Remote (you can still play with standard controls if the Wii Remote isn't for you).

The gameplay with the Wii Remote has been said to enhance the immersiveness of the game, and they've added more enemies to it to make up for the fact that the Remote makes aiming easier.

Sounds like FUD.
For anyone that remembers.
The JP GC ver no bouncy breasts.
The US GC ver bouncy breasts.

Looking at the PC RE4 and the Wii RE4 you can see body parts blown off and fall off and the blood is the same.

I guess folks are scared the cheap RE4 title is going to sell a few more Wii's this month.

Capcom has not stated any version will be censored so if the Japan Version is censored whats the changes of that build being used elsewhere with voice over!? I think this holds some weight as others here do not.

10 - I'm pretty sure this article is a lie.

First of all, many journalists who've played this game have kept their ratings high.

On top of that, this is the only source that says RE4 Wii is censored. IGN doesn't know it, Gamespy doesn't know it, so until the game comes out, I think it's a lie.

11 - Oh, and the guy who posted this is bias.

Yeah, Dorfdad.

"Another good game screwed up by the Wi."

If anyone screwed it up it was Capcom, not the Wii. You can't say that it's the Wii's fault.

Why in the world would a company reduce the gore when the game is rated mature with or without it? The kids aren't even supposed to see this one, though i'm sure they will. Can't wait to get my hands on this one.
