What is misleading? Just look at the picture then. Wii games are compatible with wii u so nothing is misleading really.

Yea, the motion controls for aiming really made this version the best to play, does look a bit rough these days though.

Yeah - logical to think so. It appears that Nintendo's recommended distance is between 1-3 feet so I guess it wouldn't be too detrimental.

Yea, that makes sense although playing Wii games on the gamepad making sure you are far enough back to use the motion controls can't be the best way to play.
My apologies mate. Didn't understand you well... :disappointed:

I wasn't meaning to start an argument rather being a pedantic git. It wasn't misleading in the slightest.
mixmixi
24 Oct 16#30
True that, the whole argument however is pointless. I put the Nintendo wii first in my description followed by wii U. If you don't have sensor bar on your wii U and want to play the wii version on it, simply go and buy one. DS4 is included in every new console you buy but I don't want to start another pointless argument over it. The whole point was the title is correct, the person who is calling it misleading is having a wrong claim.

I agree it does work, I was more playing devil's advocate although your example is not quite the same,every PS4 came with a DS4 not every Wii U came with a sensor bar and Wiimote.

24 Oct 16#28
True, also if you have a PS4 and not a dual shock controller you can't play any game with it. This is my about hardware mate, the software compatibility is the subject.

Really? Why then did they sell a version with a sensor bar as well as one without to begin with?
jsty3105
24 Oct 16#26
The Wii U's GamePad has the Wii sensor bar built in so people would just need to have a Wiimote

Ah - so Capcom just put the same digital sale price on both the Wii U and PS4.
SVRich
24 Oct 16#24
Having said that if you just have a Wii U you may not have the sensor bar and Wiimote so would you still be able to play it?

Don't say it's Wii U when it's Wii. That's misleading.

as mixmixi said how is this misleading, i could understand IF the wii u didn't play wii games but it does!

Out of all the formats I've got this game on I would say the Wii version is the best, the control system really fits the game well.
SVRich

You still can't move an shoot but headshots and targeting other weakspots on the Wii version were so much easier so it did make the game easier....didn't make Ashley any less annoying mind.

The clunky controls were deliberate to make the game more stressful, so you can't move and shoot at the same time.

NGC's better for those that prefer to use a traditional controller and the graphics look really good. I can somewhat imagine how good the visuals look with the GameCube component but won't spend £150 on the damn cable. Wii Official Component Cable and Wii2HDMI are more than suffice, plus, there's also the Dolphin emulator for NGC/Wii games (Cemu for Wii U).

They are good but make it a bit easy so I recommend bumping up the difficulty

Tried playing the Wii version with a Wii Classic Controller and the end result was a mess, imo. Just because it's compatible it shouldn't be played like that or better yet, Capcom should've just made it Wiimote + Nunchuk exclusive.

Have it on NGC and Wii already. No need to repurchase it once more as the graphics and gameplay are great on the NGC/Wii versions.
You can sure as hell expect Resident Evil 4 to also be re-re-re-re-re-re-reee-released on PS5 and Xbox Two. :stuck_out_tongue:

looks graphically rough by today's standards but the gameplay and controls are still spot on.

The Wii control is the best way to play this game. Heated.

Because I am a Sony fanboy myself and I am disappointed at the way they priced it. :smile: Don't be sensitive mate, all I meant was the price on the current gen console are a rip off.

Does the Wii U GamePad have a Sensor Bar?
Yes. When using the Wii U GamePad in Wii Mode, the Sensor Bar, located at the top of the Wii U GamePad, is turned on.
