I can't believe that graphically they are identical. Is this the sort of treatment that Wii owners are going to have to contend with for the foreseeable future. Basically adding Wiiremote functionality and repacking it for the Wii and selling it as a new game. You could see if they enhanced it graphically, to see what the Wii could do with the same game.

This doesn't bode well for 3rd party games on the Wii at all. I'm surprised 3rd party companies are doing this, especially seeing as the Wii is outselling both the 360 and PS3 by bucket loads.

As others have already mentioned, this isn't news. That's why this game is 30 bucks. And I don't think this is bad news for the Wii at all: the game didn't reach nearly as many people as one might expect from such a great game; this is a slightly spruced up version (again, 480p and resolution, along with the controls) in order to reach people who may not have known about RE4 or may not have had access to it before.
