The Wii needs this right now. Summer's looking pretty vacant for ALL the consoles.

Haha, they get a censored version! Still damn them for getting the game first.

Are you crazy, it will sell in America. I'm definitely sure it will sell better than Japan.

I'd rather it sold horribly. Supply and demand. If the demand is low, the price will go down and I won't have to blow as much money for it.

Well, Nintendo owns 4 spots on the top 5 again. They always have the best 9/10 or 4/5 or some odds like that. But then 1 popular Sony game prevents them from getting 5/5 or 10/10. Whatever, Nintendo still owns 90% of all gaming.

Looks like the Japanese love blowing heads off just as much as we do.

Haha, we have the uncensored version. They have the censored.

This will be a success worldwide and set a precedent for manufacturers releasing reduced priced ports, leaving original games at full price.

There are only so many games that can be "wiimade", and others should be left in their original form. RE4 is an exception. It's a pity that Rockstar did not remake any GTAs for Wii by now because once GTA IV is released, most people will be playing that version instead. Who knows, maybe they are developing an exclusive GTA Wii clandestinely.
