Use the nunchuck to shoot? I hope they're lying.

Yeah, it doesn't sound too bad, just pressing the buttons on the Nunchuck to fire... it makes sense to me.

Oh dude, I forgot there were buttons on the nunchuck attachment. Hmm... but then what's the button on the remote gonna do? (The one that feels like a trigger)

I'm guessing that will be used to trigger the aiming/over-the-shoulder view in the game, makes sense to me.

I'd rather be using the Zapper isnt that whats its for?

Nope, I like this idea better... it helps us avoid another mediocre DEAD AIM game.

Why don't they just use the nunchuck to activate the over-the-shoulder view and use the trigger to fire? That sounds way more comfortable.

Because if you use the trigger on the wiimote to activate over-the-shoulder mode then you can easily aim around the screen then tap the trigger on the nunchuck to fire your current weapon... I can see it working in practice.

One attachment to aim and another to shoot? That sounds kinda pointless especially when you're capable of putting both functions on one attachment.

I guess you may be right, but I'm just picturing myself using the wiimote. I can see myself sitting down using the wiimote to aim around the screen and then tapping the triggers on the nunchuck to fire. Alot like how it worked on Resident Evil 4 on the Cube.

Maybe. I just hope you can change the button configuration around so that you can aim and shoot with the remote.

Well I think there would be an option to change the controls... but if not I'm sure that it wouldn't take that much effort to adapt.

Dude, the idea for this game rocks. I hope it's good.

It sounds great. I'm really glad they didnt use the zapper or make a dead aim game.

So I don't get it. Are they remakeing parts of each game for the Wii?

I think they said that its going to cover what happens in between RE 1 to RE 2 and so on.Man this game is going to kick ass!!! (excuse my profanity). But 4 real I thought it was a great idea to Make the Gameplay like RE4.Also using the enviorment as weapons and stuffs is great!! Man I am so psyched to play this game!!!! Oh god i think im going to black out....

It's just going to fill in multiple plot holes pertaining to the Umbrella Corp. It's gonna feature characters and locales from Resident Evils 1 through 4.

I really want to see what happens after Resident Evil 4 but I suppose this'll still be mad. Resident Evil 4 was such a good game and the controls were way better than the old ones

I guess that RE5 will take care of the after RE4 story.
