Is there any actual indication as to whether Separate Ways is Canon or Non-canon? -- Aoikumo 21:25, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
No, no, I understand the continuity screw ups in the outbreak series, I mean continuity breaks in Assignment Ada or Seperate ways. You can't just SAY they arent Canon, you have to have some reliable source that says it. DurinsBane87 03:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Then please feel free to explain to me how it is canon. Assignment Ada clearly depicts Ada leaving with plaga samples in a suitcase, sans the ending everyone is privy to in the RE4 main storyline. Thats a pretty big break. Also, what about the references Ada makes to a "Master Plaga" sample, something which is never ever presented in the main game, both in phrase, text and form. Hplovecraftt 03:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Also, as I have said, tt's moot whether or not the afformetnioned games are part of another game or stand as their own titles. They all take place within the RE universe. Also, Assignment Ada is generally considered non canon by most gamers, please reference gamfaqs forums for first hand information, and yet it is part of a canon game, Resident Evil 4.

You can't cite a forum, it's unreliable. You have to have a actual source. I don't need to prove it's canon, tha article previously didnt say one way or the other. YOU made the assertion that it wasn't, so you must provide a source or citation. DurinsBane87 03:44, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Exactly, none of us has said that it was canon to begin with, we all have said that there is no real source to say either it is or isn't. forums and such are merely based upon the opinions and theories of the gamers themselves and have no solid basis in actual fact. 204.210.125.131 05:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
There is another reason that the err... "cannon-ocity" of seperate ways is questionable. It would take someone around 10-30 minutes to complete the first mmission (ringing the church bell) on their first time around. Leon would have finished killing monsters by then and wouldn't had taken half an hour in the village, as that's absurd.
The article quotes Shinji Mikami, the whole "cut [his own] head off" thing, without bothering to mention that that particular expression is a figure of speech, meaning that he would quit his job. The article later says "To date, Mr. Mikami's head remains intact upon his shoulders." Please correct this misinterpretation as soon as possible. 24.34.65.150 20:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
I see many people complaining about how the Spanish spoken in this game isn't European Spanish. First off, different regions of Spain have different dialects, in the south such as in Andalucía the Spanish is similar to Mexican and other Latin American dialects of Spanish. While in the north they pronounce ce, ci, and z with a lisp and pronounce ll like the sound in "million". Anyway, can somebody tell me specifically what slang they use in this game or how they pronounce things that isn't consistent with European Spanish? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.57.26.44 ( talk) 03:29, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Coming straight out of the latest Famitsu courtesy of CVXFreak, Biohazard 4 has been announced for mobile phones in Japan. Its unknown at this point if it will see a US release. Most likely we will get it in a few months, due to the popularity of the title. You can see the scan below, showing the now blue colored Ganados.

I couldn't find anything in the article about this additional mode. It is an unlocked extra. I only have the Wii edition from Australia and so am unsure if it exists in other versions.
The idea is you have to kill a maximum number of enemies within a time limit to gain maximum points. There is collectable time extensions to get more time. You also cannot die within the time limit. There are four playable levels. Initially Leon is the only playable character within this extra but others are unlockable after doing well.

I edited the story part to say "Leon's comrade". or something of the sort. No where in the game does he say they were friends. If I am wrong, correct me and tell me where. Jackkrauser09 ( talk) 14:30, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
After going through the game, it is never said that Leon and Krauser were friends. But one could argue that there seems to be, not a "friendship", but more of a past "battle buddy" relationship between the two. ABK20062 ( talk) 16:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
If I'm not mistaken, Krauser said "Been a long time, comrade", during his first encounter with Leon in the game. Prepsear ( talk) 02:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Why is the Resident Evil 4 Reception and awards gone? Mariofanatic ( talk) 14:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I am new to wikipedia editing, but I personally feel that the Resident Evil 4 page is missing piece on the weapons of the game. Does anybody else feel the same about this? ABK20062 ( talk) 17:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
There are several weapons in the game, even hidden ones! Someone must fix this.
Ya Boi Krakerz Check out my articles on the Broken Butterfly and Red9, more forthcoming. Kurtz69 2-12-09
A question is posed. Where is the section on Resident Evil 4 Mobile edition and why has it been removed from the article? There cannot be any doubt that a mobile edition is being produced, Capcom has already shown it off and YouTube has several videos with footage of the mobile edition, furthermore, IGN has an article on the mobile edition and so do countless other sources. I will be seeking to replace the mobile edition as a valid supplement to the article, it's certainly valid to those who will be purchasing and playing the mobile edition. 74.215.100.143 ( talk) 14:46, 20 February 2008 (UTC) J
On its own, the topic doesn't assert any separate notability, but the information would be good for this one. Nothing from the lead is necessary. The quote from the producer is would fit here. The weapons will be summed up in a paragraph or two. The controller is technically already covered. Some of the reception can be integrated with general gameplay reception. The references from the toy section can possibly be used for merchandise. TTN ( talk) 01:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I think we should keep it. It contains a reasonable amount of real world content as well as a lot of refs. Great work on improving the article. The Prince ( talk) 00:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Put me solidly in the keep camp. I think efforts have been made to establish notability and should be allowed to continue. For some editors, it seems like no amount of real world information will ever be enough. Ursasapien (talk) 09:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I'll though my thought in here too is that keeping these separate is a completely fair compromise since the weapons article, while having a lot of overlap in references and some coverage, is still aiming to establish notability, and does avoid the typical trapfalls some editors make with weapon lists (that is, there are no "vital stats" in the table, which is good, not a game guide). I would warn the editors that if either article is taken to GA and beyond, you may be questioned on this split and the quality of the split, so either continue to work to make the two topics sufficiently distinct to avoid a lot of repetition or consider merging to address that issue when you get there, but I do not think that the merge needs to be pressed now, and there's no sufficient cause to even consider deleting of the weapons article in its present state. -- MASEM 15:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Found in the Reception section:
Nevertheless, some collective fanbases of the Resident Evil series, feel that the game is not truly a Resident Evil title, due to its swerve away from Survival Horror, to (as Capcom themselves put it), survival action. Some have raised concerns regarding the effect the game in general has had on the survival horror genre, influencing games to depart from more horror themed gameplay to being more action based. For example, Silent Hill Origins was originally designed in a Resident Evil 4 style, with an over the shoulder camera, more emphasis on combat, and the like, which can also be seen in the information surrounding Silent Hill V, which, according to the developers, is going to feature a much more refined combat system. Most of these complaints are minimal however, and, on the whole, the game was very well received.
Nothing writen in that text is referenced. Any suggestions for this situation? -- Twicemost ( talk) 19:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I've never played any resident evil games, but I own a Wii, and was thinking about getting Resident Evil 4. I search this wiki article but couldn't find any references to the number of players it supports and if it supports online play or Wiiconnect24. This information would be useful for this article. I may add it my self when I get the game (sometime next month) but I thought I mention it here in case someone else already knows and can maybe update the article.

I'm just new to wikipedia, but this just didn't sound quite right. -- 65.87.242.28 ( talk) 05:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
We are told repeatedly by other people, that Ada Wong was recovering a sample of Las Plagas. However, i believe that infact what she recovered was a sample of T-Virus. My reasons for this are all present in the game, when Leon and Luis Sera are captured and tied up Leon mentions that he was involved in the Racoon City incident to which Sera replies "That is the incident with the viral outbreak? I think i saw a sample of the virus in the lab'." this is undeniable evidence that there is T-Virus present within the game, even if no one is infected with it.
Again, near the end of the game Leon recovers documents stating that if the Los Illuminados' initial plan fails, then they will send in their "Special Forces" i believe that this is a suggestion that Saddler intended to infect numerous members of the Los Illuminados with the T-Virus and then allow them to run loose as zombies in America. Some may argue that these "Special Forces" may just be individuals infected with the Las Plagas however, the initial plan of the Illuminados was to send individuals infected with Las Plagas into America, so why would a back-up plan(as it was considered by Saddler) involve exactly the same thing?
I now would like to draw attention to the numerous appearances of the supposed Las Plagas sample within the game, it appears to be light-blue liquid kept within what appears to be an air-tight test-tube of sorts at all times. This is perhaps a suggestion that inhaling this sample is enough to cause some sort of harm, we know this is not the case for Las Plagas as the Las Plagas eggs have to be injected into an individual. I would also like to draw attention to the visual appearance of this illusive sample, the light blue colour is quite obviously not the same as the sample that was injected into Leon, which has a more pinkish colouration. With another referrance to the physical appearance of the sample, one can obviously see that it is opaque, the egg injected into Leon was suspended in a transparent liquid, where the egg inside is quite visible. Surely if the sample that Ada Wong saught after was a Plagas sample, we would be able to see the parasite within the test-tube?
My final, although extremely questionable piece of evidence, is when the player has killed the final boss and Leon is forced to hand over the sample to Ada Wong at gun-point, he says "Ada...You, -do- know what this is, right?" I consider this as the characters' final acknowledgment this is a T-Virus sample, Leon is making a referrance to the Racoon City incident, associating the sample with it being the primary cause as to why both characters experienced what they did during their escape of Racoon City.
I appologise for my -very- longwinded rant however, i felt it was neccesary to put my opinion forward on this matter....Mainly because it's been bugging me for a while. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.12.130 ( talk) 23:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Firstly, Luis Serra was referring to seeing a sample of the T-Virus at the Police preceint during his staint as a cop in Barcelona, which taken in context with the ending of RE2 and 3 and the prologue to RE4 would imply that a cure has been found to the T-virus, as they would obviously not keep it around for display if a city had to be wiped off the face of the earth to prevent its spread. Secondly, it is implied through Luis' notes, and Separate Ways and whotnot that it is a sort of 'Master' Plagas, which Saddler also talks about and calls 'Our Treasure', which one could surmise is in some way involved in the evident master plagas that reside in such figures as Saddler and Salazar which allow them to not only not be controlled by the parasite, but to control it, and additionally to control those with lesser parasites (Ganados), which is perhaps a bio engeniered ability created from an orgional Plagas. 68.35.125.8 ( talk) 08:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Please, correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought it had been established that Luis Serra invented his involvement in the Madrid police as a cover-up for his involvement in the research of Las Plagas. I highly doubt that even if he ever was a police officer, that he would have been allowed in any foresic laboratories where it would have been held (Why would T-Virus be in a Spanish police forensics lab anyway?). Also, to make "Daylight" the vaccine against T-Virus, you need V-Poison from infected wasps and P-Base. As we don't really know what's in P-Base we can assume that it is well know however, V-Poison requires infected wasps and any trace of T-Virus was supposedly destroyed in the steralization of Racoon City. No T-Virus to infect wasps, no V-Poison, no "Daylight" vaccine; ie. T-Virus = Still a major threat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.7.74 ( talk) 22:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
additionally, in resident evil: degeneration, a movie made by the makers of the game, which was intended to be a direct sequel from previous resident evil games, has zombies infected with the t-virus as well as a monster infected with the g-virus. the events of this movie take place a year after resident evil 4, making the theory of ada wong getting the t-virus instead of las plagas dna is plausible. however, i have another theory which cannot be proved until the release of resident evil 5. in resident evil 5, the enemies resemble the ganados, but are not exactly the same. is it not possible that ada wong took a sample of las plagas dna merged with the t-virus?

The phrase below is the first few sentences of the Wii Edition section:
Resident Evil 4: Wii edition was released for the Wii on May 31, 2007 in Japan.[citation needed] It features new controls involving the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, along with the ability to use the Classic Controller or GameCube controller instead.[74] The Wii Remote is able to aim and shoot anywhere on the screen with a reticle that replaces the laser sight found in the other versions. It can also be flicked to use the knife to instantly target an enemy. The Wii edition also includes the extra content from the PlayStation 2 and PC versions, and a trailer for Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.[75]
The Japanese magazine Famitsu reviewed the game, with two editors giving the game a perfect 10 score, and the remaining pair giving it a 9, resulting in a score of 38 out of 40. The reviewers noted that the game's improved controls offer something fresh and different. One reviewer said that the game offers the feeling of being closer to the action as well as upping the tension. Multiple reviewers agreed that even those who own the original will find something fun and enjoyable in this version.
Why is there no counter point offered regarding the use of the Wiimote, and how the developers turned the two-step action of firing a pistol (point, pull trigger) into a three-step process (point, press and hold A, pull trigger).
Also, the language used for the second paragraph in the quoted text is laughable in its bias. It quotes no review, but reads like a bought review on a mainstream gamer site. I know this is Wikipedia. I know this is group-think at its finest. But honestly, the second paragraph in the quoted text blows more sunshine into readers' nether-regions than it provides any factual information regarding the Wii edition's critical reception. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.140.93.226 ( talk) 01:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Wrong. It was always three step. If you are going to count "pointing the wiimote" for the wii version, you have to also include aiming with the C stick for the GC version (And right TS for PS2). It doesn't take more effort, it's not like you really need to aim the wiimore, you just move it to control where the gun is aimed. Same level of effort. 209.40.223.136 ( talk) 09:26, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

NTSC-U: There's a bonus video under the EXTRA section (which is the Chronicles trailer). No easy mode.
PAL Multi5: There's a menu item named 'CREDIT' instead of 'BONUS VIDEO' under the EXTRA section. If you select it, it shows 3 pages or 4 (I don't remember correctly 3 or 4) about "Wii edition Team". There're 2 mode, EASY and NORMAL, when starting a new game. Besides, it has a CHANGE LANGUAGE menu item just like the PC/GameCube PAL/PlayStation 2 PAL versions, but does not have a 50/60 Hz selector like GameCube PAL/PlayStation 2 PAL versions.
I just tested both NTSC-U and PAL Multi5 versions on Dolphin a few hours ago. In short, there's no trailer in the PAL version. Not sure 'bout the NTSC-J. I don't have it. -- Livy the pixie ( talk) 09:39, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
One more thing: PAL version does not support classic controller. The game refuses to run and prompts the user the connect the Nunchuck to play. It seems the whole article is written 'bout the NTSC version. -- Livy the pixie ( talk) 02:02, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
The "Platform(s)" field of the Infobox includes "Zeebo". However, Resident Evil 4 is not available for sale on either of Zeebo's sites ( Brazil and Mexico).
Even the "Release date(s)" field of the Infobox does not specify Zeebo.
If a Zeebo version of Resident Evil 4 does not truly exist, it should be deleted from the "Platform(s)" field of the Infobox.

This is decent, but still not GA level. In addition to comments above, I'd also consider deviding Development into 2 sections, one for the scrapped scenerios and one for the final version.

It would take someone around 10-30 minutes to complete the first mmission (ringing the church bell) on their first time around. Leon would have finished killing monsters by then and wouldn't had taken half an hour in the village, as that's absurd.
The article quotes Shinji Mikami, the whole "cut [his own] head off" thing, without bothering to mention that that particular expression is a figure of speech, meaning that he would quit his job. The article later says "To date, Mr. Mikami's head remains intact upon his shoulders." Please correct this misinterpretation as soon as possible. 24.34.65.150 20:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
I see many people complaining about how the Spanish spoken in this game isn't European Spanish. First off, different regions of Spain have different dialects, in the south such as in Andalucía the Spanish is similar to Mexican and other Latin American dialects of Spanish. While in the north they pronounce ce, ci, and z with a lisp and pronounce ll like the sound in "million". Anyway, can somebody tell me specifically what slang they use in this game or how they pronounce things that isn't consistent with European Spanish? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.57.26.44 ( talk) 03:29, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Coming straight out of the latest Famitsu courtesy of CVXFreak, Biohazard 4 has been announced for mobile phones in Japan. Its unknown at this point if it will see a US release. Most likely we will get it in a few months, due to the popularity of the title. You can see the scan below, showing the now blue colored Ganados.

I couldn't find anything in the article about this additional mode. It is an unlocked extra. I only have the Wii edition from Australia and so am unsure if it exists in other versions.
The idea is you have to kill a maximum number of enemies within a time limit to gain maximum points. There is collectable time extensions to get more time. You also cannot die within the time limit. There are four playable levels. Initially Leon is the only playable character within this extra but others are unlockable after doing well.

I edited the story part to say "Leon's comrade". or something of the sort. No where in the game does he say they were friends. If I am wrong, correct me and tell me where. Jackkrauser09 ( talk) 14:30, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
After going through the game, it is never said that Leon and Krauser were friends. But one could argue that there seems to be, not a "friendship", but more of a past "battle buddy" relationship between the two. ABK20062 ( talk) 16:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

A question is posed. Where is the section on Resident Evil 4 Mobile edition and why has it been removed from the article? There cannot be any doubt that a mobile edition is being produced, Capcom has already shown it off and YouTube has several videos with footage of the mobile edition, furthermore, IGN has an article on the mobile edition and so do countless other sources. I will be seeking to replace the mobile edition as a valid supplement to the article, it's certainly valid to those who will be purchasing and playing the mobile edition. 74.215.100.143 ( talk) 14:46, 20 February 2008 (UTC) J
On its own, the topic doesn't assert any separate notability, but the information would be good for this one. Nothing from the lead is necessary. The quote from the producer is would fit here. The weapons will be summed up in a paragraph or two. The controller is technically already covered. Some of the reception can be integrated with general gameplay reception. The references from the toy section can possibly be used for merchandise. TTN ( talk) 01:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I think we should keep it. It contains a reasonable amount of real world content as well as a lot of refs. Great work on improving the article. The Prince ( talk) 00:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Put me solidly in the keep camp. I think efforts have been made to establish notability and should be allowed to continue. For some editors, it seems like no amount of real world information will ever be enough. Ursasapien (talk) 09:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I'll though my thought in here too is that keeping these separate is a completely fair compromise since the weapons article, while having a lot of overlap in references and some coverage, is still aiming to establish notability, and does avoid the typical trapfalls some editors make with weapon lists (that is, there are no "vital stats" in the table, which is good, not a game guide). I would warn the editors that if either article is taken to GA and beyond, you may be questioned on this split and the quality of the split, so either continue to work to make the two topics sufficiently distinct to avoid a lot of repetition or consider merging to address that issue when you get there, but I do not think that the merge needs to be pressed now, and there's no sufficient cause to even consider deleting of the weapons article in its present state. -- MASEM 15:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Found in the Reception section:
Nevertheless, some collective fanbases of the Resident Evil series, feel that the game is not truly a Resident Evil title, due to its swerve away from Survival Horror, to (as Capcom themselves put it), survival action. Some have raised concerns regarding the effect the game in general has had on the survival horror genre, influencing games to depart from more horror themed gameplay to being more action based. For example, Silent Hill Origins was originally designed in a Resident Evil 4 style, with an over the shoulder camera, more emphasis on combat, and the like, which can also be seen in the information surrounding Silent Hill V, which, according to the developers, is going to feature a much more refined combat system. Most of these complaints are minimal however, and, on the whole, the game was very well received.

We are told repeatedly by other people, that Ada Wong was recovering a sample of Las Plagas. However, i believe that infact what she recovered was a sample of T-Virus. My reasons for this are all present in the game, when Leon and Luis Sera are captured and tied up Leon mentions that he was involved in the Racoon City incident to which Sera replies "That is the incident with the viral outbreak? I think i saw a sample of the virus in the lab'." this is undeniable evidence that there is T-Virus present within the game, even if no one is infected with it.
Again, near the end of the game Leon recovers documents stating that if the Los Illuminados' initial plan fails, then they will send in their "Special Forces" i believe that this is a suggestion that Saddler intended to infect numerous members of the Los Illuminados with the T-Virus and then allow them to run loose as zombies in America. Some may argue that these "Special Forces" may just be individuals infected with the Las Plagas however, the initial plan of the Illuminados was to send individuals infected with Las Plagas into America, so why would a back-up plan(as it was considered by Saddler) involve exactly the same thing?
I now would like to draw attention to the numerous appearances of the supposed Las Plagas sample within the game, it appears to be light-blue liquid kept within what appears to be an air-tight test-tube of sorts at all times. This is perhaps a suggestion that inhaling this sample is enough to cause some sort of harm, we know this is not the case for Las Plagas as the Las Plagas eggs have to be injected into an individual. I would also like to draw attention to the visual appearance of this illusive sample, the light blue colour is quite obviously not the same as the sample that was injected into Leon, which has a more pinkish colouration. With another referrance to the physical appearance of the sample, one can obviously see that it is opaque, the egg injected into Leon was suspended in a transparent liquid, where the egg inside is quite visible. Surely if the sample that Ada Wong saught after was a Plagas sample, we would be able to see the parasite within the test-tube?
My final, although extremely questionable piece of evidence, is when the player has killed the final boss and Leon is forced to hand over the sample to Ada Wong at gun-point, he says "Ada...You, -do- know what this is, right?" I consider this as the characters' final acknowledgment this is a T-Virus sample, Leon is making a referrance to the Racoon City incident, associating the sample with it being the primary cause as to why both characters experienced what they did during their escape of Racoon City.
I appologise for my -very- longwinded rant however, i felt it was neccesary to put my opinion forward on this matter....Mainly because it's been bugging me for a while. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.12.130 ( talk) 23:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Firstly, Luis Serra was referring to seeing a sample of the T-Virus at the Police preceint during his staint as a cop in Barcelona, which taken in context with the ending of RE2 and 3 and the prologue to RE4 would imply that a cure has been found to the T-virus, as they would obviously not keep it around for display if a city had to be wiped off the face of the earth to prevent its spread. Secondly, it is implied through Luis' notes, and Separate Ways and whotnot that it is a sort of 'Master' Plagas, which Saddler also talks about and calls 'Our Treasure', which one could surmise is in some way involved in the evident master plagas that reside in such figures as Saddler and Salazar which allow them to not only not be controlled by the parasite, but to control it, and additionally to control those with lesser parasites (Ganados), which is perhaps a bio engeniered ability created from an orgional Plagas. 68.35.125.8 ( talk) 08:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Please, correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought it had been established that Luis Serra invented his involvement in the Madrid police as a cover-up for his involvement in the research of Las Plagas. I highly doubt that even if he ever was a police officer, that he would have been allowed in any foresic laboratories where it would have been held (Why would T-Virus be in a Spanish police forensics lab anyway?). Also, to make "Daylight" the vaccine against T-Virus, you need V-Poison from infected wasps and P-Base. As we don't really know what's in P-Base we can assume that it is well know however, V-Poison requires infected wasps and any trace of T-Virus was supposedly destroyed in the steralization of Racoon City. No T-Virus to infect wasps, no V-Poison, no "Daylight" vaccine; ie. T-Virus = Still a major threat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.7.74 ( talk) 22:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
additionally, in resident evil: degeneration, a movie made by the makers of the game, which was intended to be a direct sequel from previous resident evil games, has zombies infected with the t-virus as well as a monster infected with the g-virus. the events of this movie take place a year after resident evil 4, making the theory of ada wong getting the t-virus instead of las plagas dna is plausible. however, i have another theory which cannot be proved until the release of resident evil 5. in resident evil 5, the enemies resemble the ganados, but are not exactly the same. is it not possible that ada wong took a sample of las plagas dna merged with the t-virus?

The phrase below is the first few sentences of the Wii Edition section:
Resident Evil 4: Wii edition was released for the Wii on May 31, 2007 in Japan.[citation needed] It features new controls involving the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, along with the ability to use the Classic Controller or GameCube controller instead.[74] The Wii Remote is able to aim and shoot anywhere on the screen with a reticle that replaces the laser sight found in the other versions. It can also be flicked to use the knife to instantly target an enemy. The Wii edition also includes the extra content from the PlayStation 2 and PC versions, and a trailer for Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.[75]
The Japanese magazine Famitsu reviewed the game, with two editors giving the game a perfect 10 score, and the remaining pair giving it a 9, resulting in a score of 38 out of 40. The reviewers noted that the game's improved controls offer something fresh and different. One reviewer said that the game offers the feeling of being closer to the action as well as upping the tension. Multiple reviewers agreed that even those who own the original will find something fun and enjoyable in this version.
Why is there no counter point offered regarding the use of the Wiimote, and how the developers turned the two-step action of firing a pistol (point, pull trigger) into a three-step process (point, press and hold A, pull trigger).
Also, the language used for the second paragraph in the quoted text is laughable in its bias. It quotes no review, but reads like a bought review on a mainstream gamer site. I know this is Wikipedia. I know this is group-think at its finest. But honestly, the second paragraph in the quoted text blows more sunshine into readers' nether-regions than it provides any factual information regarding the Wii edition's critical reception. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.140.93.226 ( talk) 01:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Wrong. It was always three step. If you are going to count "pointing the wiimote" for the wii version, you have to also include aiming with the C stick for the GC version (And right TS for PS2). It doesn't take more effort, it's not like you really need to aim the wiimore, you just move it to control where the gun is aimed. Same level of effort. 209.40.223.136 ( talk) 09:26, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

NTSC-U: There's a bonus video under the EXTRA section (which is the Chronicles trailer). No easy mode.
PAL Multi5: There's a menu item named 'CREDIT' instead of 'BONUS VIDEO' under the EXTRA section. If you select it, it shows 3 pages or 4 (I don't remember correctly 3 or 4) about "Wii edition Team". There're 2 mode, EASY and NORMAL, when starting a new game. Besides, it has a CHANGE LANGUAGE menu item just like the PC/GameCube PAL/PlayStation 2 PAL versions, but does not have a 50/60 Hz selector like GameCube PAL/PlayStation 2 PAL versions.

The "Platform(s)" field of the Infobox includes "Zeebo". However, Resident Evil 4 is not available for sale on either of Zeebo's sites ( Brazil and Mexico).
Even the "Release date(s)" field of the Infobox does not specify Zeebo.
If a Zeebo version of Resident Evil 4 does not truly exist, it should be deleted from the "Platform(s)" field of the Infobox.
