Basically, that artical says that the Germany Software Rating Board refused to give the game a rating (not even an 18+) and so it was banned from retail in the country. Is that Capcom's fault? No, and I don't see a problem when you guys can surely so easily just import a copy from Austria?

Doesn't look like it's going to be holding this game back anyway.

i'm not saying that the games arwe being banned, just altered so that they can be accepted, for instance, find me a game that show blood, not ooze coming out of bodies. Next thing is that in Germany you couldn't buy games with nazi flags in them. That's how wolfenstein 3d was taken off the market, remember? On another note, don't be such a crybaby, just order the game from another country.



Deep into the darkness pearing

Long i stood there

Wondering

Fearing

Doubting.

The new/remade Gamecube Resident Evil games (0, 1, 4) were all released uncensored in Germany (except for the missing bonus games in RE4, Mercenaries and Assignment Ada, the main game is intact).

But I agree with the last sentence (minus the crybaby). Faxanadu, order the game from another country.


I think Rol has it right. Plenty of gore in the RE4 version I have. About additional content - still not there in the wii version of RE4?

On importing, no thank you. I usually buy games when I am at a store. If its not there, I wont buy it. I just grab them by how I feel and when I want it. Getting through all this online stuff is too much hustle for me and not worth it for most games.

Umbrella Chronicles isn't a must have game, but it is a LOT of fun. Especially in co-op. I like it much better than I thought I would.

Given first-week Japanese sales of about 100,000, it will probably get to at least 175,000-200,000 in Japan. I think when you add in just U.S. sales you will meet their target this holiday season, and then you have EU sales. I think it has a great shot at 1 million WW and Capcom will be thinking sequel ASAP (they always do!).

Of course it will.

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition was the first test. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is the second.

Think of RE4:Wii edition as the pop quiz. RE:UC as the SAT.

Next will be Resident Evil 5 on Wii.
