@alvin... I got no $$$

@sihum: do we need to get zapper for this game? better rite?

Zapper comes with this game. Not sure about the game itself, but I think Djinn's bringing the bundle.

And IMO, I think getting the Zapper is ok. I believe it provides a different kind of feel for shooting games, as you're holding the Zapper at waist-line, rather and aiming directly forward like holding a handgun.

And I think playing the lazy man's way(while sitting on couch, arms on lap) would kill all the experience that this game provides.

My humble opinion of course.

With that said, once I get this game, I'm targetting Ghost Squad bundle. So that means TWO Zappers

how much u pre-order from GH?

PA selling US$ 49.90 (~168.35 MYR), I think game only. No zapper bundled...

I asked Eddy the rough price. It's gonna be RM200+

But according to PA figure:

Game = USD49.9 / RM170

Zapper standalone = USD20 / RM70

Add together = RM240

So there we have it. Our new expected price!

thanks buddy!




Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training

This 1 selling at PA for US$ 34.90 (~117.74 MYR), comes with a bundle Link game (I supposed).

Ghost Squad (w/ Wii Zapper)

This fella cost US$ 59.90 (~202.09 MYR) from PA.

WAH! Nintendo's evil marketing!!!

yeah that's good what....can co-op later with your friends or gal

can't you just get one bundle and get the stand-alone game for the other? djinn bringing in UC bundle? but PA dy sold out their pre-orders leh, if djinn really got the official bundle then it would be a japanese version of the game.
hmm....not sure if i need a japanese copy of another game.

I want to visit that house with that jeh jeh!!!

Will you miss anything not playing with the zapper?

UHHH.
3 AWESOME GAMES DURING EXAMS?!

I might just kill myself during the exams.

Just the experience of holding a MP5/Carbine/Crossbow/TMP/Uzi.

Waste of cash really, but I laik it

Then start collecting now, its not too late 2do so

RM200++? I hope when it arrive it'll be much cheaper (I didn't expect it to be THAT expensive thought)

Another reason 4me 2go Japan (Unfortunetly, that house only open till Feb08)

The experince only i guess, coz its still playable without the zapper

Don't kill urself, but instead, do well in ur exam so u can claim ur reward (for getting gd result in ur exam 2buy new WII game)

famitsu only scored this game 32/40.....it's still worth getting? oh yeah!!

hopefully the Resident Evil : Umbrella Chronicle won't be above RM 200 for the game la.. mostly is below

Zapper until now I haven't seen the U/S market release yet.. only Japanese market..

unless those "third Party" come out themshelf of "type of version"

You mean game only? Or the bundle with Zapper?

Which one you getting btw?

obviously he meant the game only as he already said zapper only for japanese market so if US game + JP zapper bundle is still under RM200, then it would be the steal of the century

But zapper or no zapper, i don't think it will take much outta of the experience of playing a RE shooting game as i tried all the previous RE gun survivors with and without lightgun and it's not much of a bother for me with the lightgun.

well at least now we can have the "Feel" like an arcade available on our house )

KL have stock for Zapper already?
Can't wait to get it. Now I have to imagine my WiiMote + Numbchuck is a "gun".
Demm... might have to rubber band them on a cardboard.

If thats the case, then hv 2play without the zapper 1st..

Djinn, arcade? No 50inch LCD/Plasma TV can't feel the "excitement"

This post has been edited by alvintan84: Nov 13 2007, 08:59 PM

don't forget a top notch sound system too if u really wanna go to the experience

which one you all prefer ? compare with Medal of Honor Heros 2 ... mm still considering MOH2 Graphic wist is nice and got arcade and FPS as well as multiplayer mode

It'll be like comparing House of the Dead and Time Crisis

Of course, I'd like to play both

ya~lah... how to compare? 1 is kill undeads, 1 is kill humans...

depending on your preferences...

ai y the damn plastic so exp
might as well save thw money for wiifit right
Grr y don u guys just wait
3rd party sure will make 1 to 1 selling much cheaper
of co they can't replicate wiifit

alt solution... use masking tape!

it look so much like House of the Dead. If like this what's the use of Resident Evil when out there already got House of Dead??? Has the developer ever play Resident Evil 1 before?

House of dead is super nice also la
I think this is a great idea for resident evil actually
once a while change a bit will not hurt
plus wiimote is made
for this type of game
best thing? Its exclusive

I saw the gametrailers review on this game. Quite good. You don't need a zapper to play this since you need the nunchuck to use your knife. If you mount the nunchuck and the wiimote to the zapper you can't use the knife. But if you do use the zapper it keeps it cursor centered while you reload.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Eddy said that Resident Evil: UC might(give it a 60-70% chance) arrive today

Too bad I'm broke.

And it's not gonna be a Zapper bundle. That's only for Japan.

Edit: Eddy, of Gamers Hideout.

guys..i dont know bout the stance about the wii zapper...but i dont think its worth it..its just a plastic shell...

even the GT review said it was a hindrance...so im buying this game without the zapper...

Like many reviews/previews for Wii games, everyone has different preference. Some say it's better without it, some say it is.

True it's a gimmicky plastic shell, it just gives a rifle/sub-machine-fun feel to it.

But in regards to the Zapper, Ghost Squad is actually prefers it. Ghost Squad(on-rails like RE:UC) has a calibrating option that requires you to "aim-down-the-sight" in order to get pin-point accuracy. I don't think pressing a Wiimote up to your face would feel as good as holding a "sub-machine-gun"

Oh well, to those who wanna plunk down USD20 for it. I'm not even interested in Link's Crossbow training

ghost squad is faster than RE ...i think...then it probably requires the zapper..

Alot of reviewers complaining that RE:UC zombies are a little slow I'm somewhat disappointed by that, but House of the Dead wasn't that fast either, so not much surprise. Just the damn reviewers telling us that it's friggin' slow, I hope it's not exaggerated, cause from the videos, they look fine. Mighty fine I might say.

What I like about Ghost Squad(GS) is that, in the Arcades you actually had to hold the rifle in a rifle manner. With butt-stock at arm, one hand on trigger, and one hand at arms length, aiming down the sight. Yeah, that's the stuff. I hope the accuracy is there tho'

isn't zombie supposed to be slow?

RE4's zombie not tat slow.....

'cos that 1 is hybrid zombie!

Same goes for "zombies" in RE5. They're frickin' fast and I like!

Wish they put that kinda speed into RE:UC.

RE:UC is back story~mah... so the zombie were slow back then, so they should be slow here too!

other wise, no consistency in story!

Maybe u're right, but slow also gd right? We won't lose our hp bar so quickly

This is something like a "director cut" or a summary version of BioHazard series from Zero to Last Escape. Good for old timer to recall the good all time. I would say this is good for fans. If you're comparing with major FPS games, you gonna look else-where.

It's an on-rails game like House of the Dead

And yes, fan-service fluff all over the game. I'm a new fan since RE4.

come sell all your collections (darth vader case)

shoo! go away!

no touching at my collections!

yeah! I'm playing this series since RE1 (PC) -> RE2 (PC) -> RE3 & RE Code: Veronica (Dreamcast) -> RE1: remake & RE: Zero (Gamecube) -> RE4 (Wii)
If they ever port RE5 for Wii, I will have to buy a PS3

I currently having insufficient fund too, but i'm finding way 2fund my budget too (Next month somemore need spend $$)

Hope RE5 come out in wii then awesome

Overall: I think RE UC should be awesome since its one-of a kind in wii now

it's dy out here in singapore, cheapest i can find is $73....how much is it back home? wonder should i shop for a zapper too since i'm here....

Supposedly more than RM150?

Give a quick call to GH lar, dunno whether they got theirs or not.

I called up GH to check on the availability of this game, and pricing.

It has arrived.

RM199 retail.
RM185 members.

Mmm.. Must.. Shoot.. Zombies..

ordered mine through PA already...US..no zapper..

you know what?

i ordered this game before Mario Galaxy(i get that later)...i think i commited a crime in the Nintendo world

lol.. It's ok. Japan doesn't quite love Mario either. Makes them go barf

if mario makes a cameo in RE...i would be happy...

for those that prefer HotD, there's news they're coming to Wii next year.
http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11/15/house-of...ed-in-early-08/

I'll wait for them 2call me (If only we got the zapper, that'll be extra fun)

This post has been edited by alvintan84: Nov 16 2007, 06:13 PM

hey guyz, i was wondering anyone here oredy owned the game.
sorry as i lazy to read the previous post.
im planning to buy d game, issit worth the money?
seems fun to play wit frens hah?

members?

how to become a member?

tried out the game.. it really reminds me off the arcade old days..

really need to get that zapper... for better experience.

anyone playing this yet? got my copy two days ago in singapore but yet to try it since reaching home (my first Wii game!).......worried about major plot spoilers for RE0 as i have yet to play that one.

Will probably start later this week once i start playing RE0 as well.....

I'm already playing it. Went through 3 chapters in 2-player co-op. Still haven't gone through single-player yet

co-op with the missus? must be fun i bet....

btw i heard a lot of gamers complaining about the wii remoto/aiming-cursor not being responsive enough, compared with other wii lightgun games...any problems on your side?

That's a very SMALL nuisance. It's because the game is running in 30fps, and not 60fps like Wii menu. If you played games like Red Steel, and Elebits, you'll notice the cursor is a bit lembab. But doable. So no problems on my side.

i was at djinn's yesterday to pick up a new GC controller and end up pre-ordering a zapper bundle!

couldn't resist the tempting price pus the free zelda game helped a lot, guess it will come in handy for UC too......anyone else booking a bundle from GH?

i noticed PA presold all their bundle liao....guess everyone thinks it's a good bargain.

How much is it?

Apparently, Link's Crossbow training is kinda good. Definitely more fun compared to the shooting galery in Wii Play

Eddy promised not more than rm100.....the US retail price is USD19.90 so i think it's pretty fair considering how bulky it might be.

anything with link/zelda name on it has to be decent i guess, though if you read IGN's impresssions of the kit, they weren't very impressed with the tommy-gun styled design.

Ah, the crap reviews of Wii products. Some say yes, some say no. I believe it's up to us to decide for ourselves. And a sub-RM100 game + zapper? Woo, I'm in if there's extra stock next month.

stocks should be arriving end of this week......c'mon sihum you know you want it

Since you are already planning to get the other Wii zapper games coming out plus eddy said he doesn't know how many will be on the shelf so best to preorder......

Yeah, since it's bundled with a Zelda game, people might actually BUY IT

But with zapper, I bet it'll be much harder to knife in RE:UC.

Ghost Squad is supposedly out too!

Blasting through RE0 before picking up REUC Almost done with it

I wonder how u use the knife with zapper...just swing ur zapper?

P.S: I also feel like getting the bundle, but when the stock come then?

ah~ i so getting the zelda + zapper bundle

a Quick question, does the 2nd players need a nunchaku as well? I have 2 wiimotes, but only a nunchaku so far

no nid, the nunchuck is only for camera change

using the zapper on the RE : UC you have to change the settings to use the Zapper controller

to knife, simple hold the C button and swing your nunchuk.

to get an item on the floor or anyway that indicated simply point and press the Z button

just curious, anyone else here have difficulty scoring A and (especially) S ranks ?

This post has been edited by yangkuo: Nov 25 2007, 09:25 PM

I scored an A on the first level but thats about it ..

I think it'd be great if the way you play this game allows for both the nunchuch and wiimote to be attached to the zapper.. but clearly RE:UC is meant for the nunchuch to be held in another hand :/

I've tried attaching both but its difficult to pull off knifing or dodge moves whilst on the zapper...and having to hold it separately just kinda defeats the purpose for me for these type of games.. might as well be just holding the wiimote by itself..

i home some third party comes up with a better accessory or future games considering this but the game's still fun..

btw, is it just me or does the zapper kinda look like Boba Fett's blaster?

This post has been edited by tnsai: Dec 8 2007, 05:29 PM

resurrecting this ole thread, hehehe....i am playing the game with the zapper, and i still keep the nunchuk attached to the back. it's a little hard at first but you can actually just swing the back part of the zapper whilst keeping your aim steady with the zapper.... takes some practise.

Or i heard you can actually just reload with a toggle of the analog stick on the nunchuk....haven't tried it myself but i plan to finish it first with the zapper before trying it again without the zappper attachment.

hmmm, actually i was curious, which zelda was bundled with it
the zelda crossbow training game? or the twilight princess?

hmm scoring A is not a problem, S is abit challenge. I don't know but at least for me. awesome game anyway, maybe because I'm interesting in the story

crossbow training.....a shooting game which uses twilight princess graphic engine so it actually looks a lot like twilight princess, at least that's what i read.

oooh okay, cheers mate !,

guess i wait for the standalone zapper then

nowadays a lot of zapper imitation liao. I guess 3rd party once is enough for zapper, i dun think an ori zapper will perform better since it is juz a plastic.

since the RE4Wii topic is dead liao, can any veterans tell me how to play the RE4 Wii edition with my GC controller as i heard it support dual controls? am i suppose to disconnect/turn off the Wii mote in order for it to switch to the GC controller?

wow wouldnt it be much more difficult to shoot with an analogue controller? By the way is wat u saying really exist?

I agree..after playing RE4 on the Wii with the wiimote...I find it is really easy. U can knife , reload and turn around pretty quick. Do u want to revert back to the controller just for the challenge of it?

That egg and knife challenge is enough for you to train 10000 years already lol

i'm just more used to a traditional GC controller, the Wii control feels gimmicky sometimes.....

Haven't u give it a go for one stage until finish? I tought like that too b4...but after a couple of minutes, I find that we're more flexible using the wii ctrl U don't need to push a button to knife and reload...response time is cut short, our aim is accurate (just use handgun n u can easily shoot down enemies in the lift stage...no need rifle) and so on.

err btw, if u insist on using the GC ctrller, just plug in the ctrller in its port and leave the wiimote as it is. The game will detect the controller and give the GC controller the priority. I haven't triend with RE though, but my Naruto game does that.

A question to all Zapper user. Wat is the price for a standard zapper onli (not including the Wiimote and Nunchuck)? I seen some on the PA website and all price at RM90-100? Does it include the wiimote or just tat plastic onli?

of course it doesnt include the wiimote. only the plastic and a bundled game.

i just played this with two wiimote coz i die coz playing alone

With two...it felt like a john woo movie...ahahaha...

U start playing using 2wiimote the middle part of the story? Or complete everything only use 2?

Btw, anybody got upgrade all the weapon alrdy till lvl4? Lvl5 is ike impposible

U can always download a save file from gamefaqs...
transfer into wii using SD card.
that's how i can play all stages and have all weapons with unlimited ammo. no need action replay...

I start my game again using a fresh save space with 2 wiimote after I found it hard to play it using just one player So basically I am playing a 2 player game but both controllers are controlled by me. It does need a little getting used too (Especially the event trigger)..but other than that...it's a blast. Like milla jovovich with 2 guns
