Capcom brings the Resident Evil series back to the Nintendo Wii™ with the sequel to the highly successful, million-selling title, Resident Evil®:The Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

Two of the most popular characters in the series and heroes of the beloved Resident Evil 2, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, will be making their return. As unconventional heroes, the two start out the game as ordinary individuals who are thrown into terrorizing situations where their own fear is their biggest enemy. Featuring a brand new storyline that will fill in missing pieces of the “Chronicles” series, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles leads players into a horrific world where the lines between good and evil are blurred and the fight begins with your dark side…

Besides Fatal Frame IV, another horror title gamers have been interested in seeing brought to the states is Fragile. The title was published by Namco in Japan, but there haven’t been any murmurs of a release in North America. However, XSEED Games is “looking into” bringing Fragile over.

“Appreciate the heads-up on Fragile, it’s a title that’s been requested many times before so we’re looking into it. To everyone that’s written in to us, we will expect everyone to get their pre-order in the week that we announce it if we should get lucky enough to work on such a great looking title.” – Ken, XSEED Games

Thanks for the news tip, Jake.

This is a downloadable play, not a retail play. We don’t actually have any retail rights on this project. And there’s no way to get anywhere near the Wiiware filesize limit here.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

The upcoming issue of Nintendo Power promises to have the scoop on Red Steel 2. Previously, NGamer was supposed to have an exclusive on the game, but that never fell through. The next issue of Nintendo Power goes on sale May 12. Meanwhile, the magazine has put the table of contents online and reconfirms that the game will utilize Wii MotionPlus (in addition to a reconfirmation that the game still exists). You can latch onto this until information pours in: Nintendo Power says, “Finally, wielding a sword in a Wii game feels as real as you’d always dreamed!”

“I’m not afraid at all. I think it’s going to sell. If you look at the previous installment, it sold quite well, and again the Resident Evil brand is incredibly strong, and it’s known throughout the world.” – Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles’ chief producer Masachika Kawata

I’m not too concerned about the sales of Darkside Chronicles. Like Mr. Kawata said, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles sold respectably, and considering Darkside Chronicles falls under the RE franchise, it’s a sure-fire bet that the game will do well in the market.
