Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero exposes the back story and internal tyranny of the Umbrella Corporation and lets players discover the origins of the T-Virus in an epic storyline that tells the horrors leading up to the infamous mansion incident.
Resident Evil 0 begins in July of 1998 in the suburbs of Raccoon City, a small town located in the Midwest. Several reported incidences of people being eaten by a strange creature have surfaced. The Raccoon city police department viewed the terrible murders as a top priority and quickly dispatched a special task force, the S.T.A.R.S Bravo team, to investigate. As the team heads to the scene of the murders, the helicopter transporting them begins to have mechanical problems, eventually crashing deep into the forest surrounding Raccoon City. While the Bravo Team was successful in escaping from the crash, they lost all of their equipment and weapons.
As they began to gather their wits, the team saw a shocking image. Before them lay a half-destroyed, over-turned transport truck with corpses of several navy officers that had been gruesomely killed and mangled. Under orders from Commander Enrico, the Bravo Team began investigating the disappearance of Captain Billy Coen, one of the officers who was supposed to be in the over-turned transport yet his remains could not be found. Little does the Bravo Team know that this investigation is the beginning of a horrific nightmare.
Circumstances soon throw S.T.A.R.S operative Rebecca Chambers together with Billy Coen and the two must work as a team to stay alive. Resident Evil 0 features the ‘Partner Zapping’ system which allows the player to switch between control of the two characters instantly in order to solve puzzles and defeat the game’s terrifying creatures.
Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero is a Wiisclusive set to release January 22nd, 2010.
Why? Go buy yourself a used Gamecube for $40 or less, and get the Gamecube versions of RE0 and RE1 on Ebay for under $10...it's the exact same freakin' games! Seriously these are NOT new games, but previous releases with some very basic motion controls tacked on.
What i find better about the Wii versions is that you can use the Wii Remote on its side 'Nes Style' to play them which imo is the best control method. But is it me, or do the CGI cutscenes in RE Archives look alittle blurry?....then again i havent played it on the GCN in a while.
Anyways I'll be picking this one up hehe. It's actually the only RE game i havent finished. the big turn off was Marcus, who looked like he popped out of a sailor moon cartoon...what was the deal with his anime look and opera singing. ugh, and the insect bosses were unimaginitive and lame, still a fun game though ;p
