Resident Evil Wii Details Unfurl. Trailer Expected This Week From TGS.

GamesAreFun.com reports on a few more details of Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, the upcoming RE for Nintendo's Wii. They also report that a trailer is expected from Capcom from the Tokyo Game Show very soon.

Game info thus far is as follows:

-4 game chapters: RE1's mansion, RE2's RPD, RE3's city areas and RE4's village and surrounding locations.

-Each chapter has 2 selectable characters. RE1 includes Jill (The Master of Unlocking!) and Chris, RE2 has Leon and Claire, RE3 has Jill and Carlos, while RE4 has Leon and Ada.

-There are several characters that can be unlocked by playing through the game, including Rebecca Chambers, Hunk, and Albert Wesker.

-The game features Quick Time Events ala RE4, but rather than pushing buttons they require motioning with the Wiimote.

-All characters will have melee attacks a la RE4.

-To encourage replayablility, each character has strengths and weaknesses, with variations in health, speed, and other factors.

-New content will be added to the individual chapters, with a primary aim to include more of an Umbrella connection to the RE4 story.

-Ammo conservation will play a part in the gameplay, hearkening back to the pre-RE4 games.

-Each character will have a unique set of weapons, and may hold a maximum of 2 weapons at any one time. Chris, for example, gets a pistol and shotgun whilst Jill gets a pistol and grenade launcher.

-Each stage will feature new weapons such as Richard's shotgun (RE1), the Desert Eagle (RE2), and the Chicago Typewriter and Krauser's anti-personnel robots (both RE4).

-After each chapter your data can be saved, unlocking these new weapons for Arcade Mode.

-Arcade Mode will be based on the Mercenaries minigame, where you pick a character and stage and blast your way through it.

-Scenario Mode will feature a large number of in-game cutscenes.
