Capcom Eurosoft has officially announced that a version of Resident Evil 4 will be hitting the Wii this summer. Moreover, a new title, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is slated for a fall release.

Features from the older version of Resident Evil 4 (for Game Cube) will be included, as well as the extras found in the PS2 version.

Predictably, Resident Evil 4 Wii will make extensive use of the Wiimote and Nunchuck, allowing you to ‘aim, fire and slash’ enemies, while also dodging out of the way. With regard to the Umbrella Chronicles, Capcom also revealed over easter weekend that the title will include locations from Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3, with an enhanced back story on offer.

Official word from Capcom:

“Resident Evil has become one of the premier franchises in the games industry, with more than 30 million RE games sold around the world,” said Jack Symon, director, product marketing, Capcom Entertainment. “The innovative controller functionality of the Wii will allow us to design innovative, original game play never before seen in a Resident Evil game. With RE4, we’re challenging the Wii hardware to meet Resident Evil, while in The Umbrella Chronicles, we’re adapting Resident Evil to the innovations of the Wii.”
