I haven't played the other versions so it's near the top of my list.

dont put it near the top of your list vengi. Put it right at the top. Believe me ur in for a treat.
its up there with half life 2, zelda ocarina of time, halo, goldeneye and mario 64

Famitsu don't normally review remakes, so if this review is legitimate, they must be treating this as a straight up port.

1/ Is this the "real" Famitsu, or the Nintendo branded one? Is this the same magazine that reviews all other Wii/DS titles?

2/ I can't see this being huge, although a budget price point should keep people happy. It should easily sell 400k worldwide. At least 100k (lifetime) in Japan. May do 1m worldwide.

3/ I bought & completed the GC version of RE4 - and enjoyed it very much. If this comes out for a reasonable price, I'll almost certainly be buying it. Wiimote controls should rock this game, extra content, visual enhancements (480p + true 16:9). Also been meaining to replay the game, this is a perfect opportunity to do so!

38/40 is a *very* good score - I can only think of a handful of titles that have scored better than this. 

...

Anyone know what RE4 (GC, PS2) scored in Famitsu? (looked around, and all I found was a 10/9/9/10 - 38 - for the GC version as well)

But all it has is waggle! You noobs and your waggle.

RE5 could easily be a dissapointment as early signs show Capcoms unwillingness to move away from the dead horse they've been beating with their other games. As long as it isn't another Code Veronica I think we will all be spared.

Having missed it on its original release (was still working on RE3), I picked up RE4 for the Gamecube a few months back at $19.99 -- but have yet to crack the shrinkwrap. Something tells me I'm never going to... the Wii edition is going to be a major treat for me now. Can't wait to experience this one.

I haven't played RE4 yet so I'm stoked by this version.

i pre-ordered this and manhunt 2 today...

i dont think there is a need to pre order any of those titles... i am pretty sure there'll be plenty of copies for both!!
