I can't believe I'm posting this, as I didn't want to argue about the game until it came out. But I won't argue. I'll just point out that some stated more aggressive zombies would be needed to make up for the smaller number.

Well look further down this article (after you chuckle at all the possible names):

It also expalins that it was not just the camera, but also the increased zombie attacking that prevented the camera from being a feature.

lol Paparazzi of the Dead :D
(read article)

The ultimate title would have been

"They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhh!"

*hopes someone gets the reference*

Anyway, it's good that they're doing something to make it harder, with Wiimote controls and less zombies it would've been quite easy otherwise

Looks like the title they should have settled with is RE4: Mall Edition.

Resident Evil 4 Wii: Dead Rising Edition

I watched some days ago in KOTAKU the comparation trailer made on the CES´09, and real diference between 360 and WII it´s not real Zombie cuantity, because most of the 360 Zombies are just BACKGROUND, and Wii shows cleary the attacking zombies are the same in both systems, nothing else, the real diference will be the gameplay, very diferent for both versions.

Also, as noted on a Destructiod blog, you can't jump over them. These factors most likely mean the combat will be more intense than just running/punching/hacking/smashing the zombies down.

I didn't get it.  I was thinking....

Ok, I'm slightly less sure that the game is going to suck now. Ditching photography and emphasizing shooting still suck, though.

Also, Paparazzi of the Dead would've been frigging awesome. ^^

Heheh, most of those names are quite awful. :p
