Resident Evil 4 is one of the highest rated games on Game Rankings.com and Metacritic.com, garnering dozens of awards and nominations for its amazing game play and incredible re-invention of the "survival-horror" genre. This celebrated game now comes to the Wii with added Wii Remote and Nunchuck support, allowing players to immerse themselves in the game as never before.

With RE4 Wii Edition, Capcom is offering new and more immersive sense of control to players, while keeping all of the game's incredible game systems intact. As Leon Kennedy, players will explore a town overrun by cultists, mutants and mind-controlled villagers, using the Wii Remote to aim, fire, slash and avoid oncoming adversaries with intuitive motions and movements. RE4 Wii Edition will also contain the additional content included in the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system version of the game.

Gameplay Hints

Mercenaries mode: Easy unlocking characters
When starting Mercenaries mode, play as Leon and go to the castle. It is much easier to get a good ranking because you can give the enemies a suplex, which almost always kills them in one hit. When you get Krauser from the castle you can then go to other areas, and it will make it much easier because of his arm.

Open doors faster
Tap A(2) when the "Open" command appears by a door to kick it open quickly. Doing this will also damage any enemies behind the door at the time you kick.

Defeating the Chainsaw Ganados
Use the following trick to defeat the Chainsaw Ganados on the mine cart easily. Make sure you have a Rocket Launcher and the Broken Butterfly Magnum from the castle. Also, have over six magnum rounds. When the first Chainsaw Ganado appears, shoot the Rocket Launcher at him before the other Ganados get in the way. For the second one, pump all your Magnum rounds into him. If that does not kill him, then use your Striker or Riot Gun. Note: You might get damaged during all of this; make sure that you have at least three First Aid Sprays, and two Herb Mixes (Green, Red, or Green, Red, Yellow) to use if your health gets too low.

Defeating El Gigante
When fighting an El Gigante on round two, take out your Killer 7 and shoot the parasite, or climb on its back and cut it. Either way, this saves health, ammunition, and a lot of frustration. Note: This is really only beneficial if you do not have one of the special weapons.

Defeating Milita
Instead of shooting for their head, shoot them in the knee then walk up to them. Instead "Kick", "Suplex" will appear. This will usually kill them instantly. This will not work if their head is armored.

Defeating the Regenerator
If you find your rifle is empty, you can also defeat the Regenerator by shooting a mine into the spot around the parasite. If it is on its back, just shoot out its legs with your handgun then fire a mine into its back. If this does not work, scout out where the parasite is on the Regenerator and try again.

Defeating U3 (It)
You can maneuver around U3 while you are in the giant crates. When you get to the gate it will follow you. Run around and shoot it, bringing it closer to explosive barrels. When you run out of barrels, fire either your shotgun or magnum.

Spinel
When enter the bedroom after the garden, look on the roof of the bed. You should see a sparkling object. It is a spinel.

Easy money
To earn easy money while playing through the game again, carry an empty Handcannon. It costs no money to have, but you will pick up ammunition for it occasionally. This is worth more than any other type of ammo in the game. After collec while doing this.

Tiger Soldier
When you get to the church, shoot the bell. Every three times you shoot it, some villagers will appear. Kill them and you will receive anything from Pesetas to ammo and herbs. You may do this as many times as desired. Its effective if you have a lot of ammo or the Chicago Typewriter.

Avoid enemies
After you use the chief's false eye to open the door, walk up the hill until the truck comes at you. Shoot it as usual and get back. Once it explodes walk back up the hill, but go backwards. Keep going all the way to the castle and you will avoid facing the enemies that would usually appear.

Save ammunition
If you find yourself surrounded by some parasites of Los Ganados or Los Illuminados and do not want to waste ammo, quickly throw a flash grenade. Once it explodes it should make the parasites explode and die, saving your other ammunition..

Leon hat trick
To make Leon do a special trick with his hat, unlock the gangster costume and Chicago Typewriter. At any point in the game while in Leon's gangster costume, take out the Chicago Typewriter, aim, and shake the Wiimote to reload. Leon will make a noise and move his hat. If you do this four times he will throw his hat in the air and catch it on his head.

Ashley is indestructible
When Ashley is wearing her alternate armor suit she is indestructible. If anyone tries to pick her up they will fall down. When knives, bows, or chainsaws hit her, she is unaffected. When you play as Ashley and a zombie grabs you by the neck, he drops you immediately. When the movable armor suits swing their swords down on her she never gets hurt. When Leon has to catch Ashley he catches her and nearly falls over then holds his back in pain. When Ashley crawls on his back he grunts in pain.

Reticule feedback
Equip your handgun and aim the on-screen reticule at any torch or suspended light. Often times the reticule will turn red and deliver a slight jolt in the Wiimote to indicate ammo or a treasure that you can shoot from the light and retrieve. This is a slight advantage not available in previous versions of the game.

Alternate controls
Disconnect the Nunchuck when the game loads. When prompted to attach the Nunchuck, attach the Classic Controller instead. You can play classic style Laser Sight and all.

Remove the Nunchuck and insert a Gamecube controller into port one. You will now have a laser sight on your weapons and be able to use all of the Gamecube's normal controls. Note: This is very helpful for sniping.
