News: Capcom spreads the zombie lovin' on the Wii.

Capcom has released the first screens for Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles along with a few choice details on the latter.

RE4 will ship sometime in the summer with new Wii controls and all of the bonus content that was included in the PS2 version of the game. Hit the screenshot below for more screens from the Wii Edition:

Meanwhile, The Umbrella Chronicles will offer a first person shooter-like light gun experience set in the RE universe. It will no doubt feel very similar to the Resident Evil: Survivor series.

The game, which will ship near the end of the year, will take players back through events seen in Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 while also adding new locales including the Umbrella Stronghold. Other features include:

480p and 16:9 Widescreen support

Certain weapons can destroy environments and items. Shoot objects and watch them splinter, explode and disintegrate.

Interactive paths allow players to choose various routes and pathways through the game, allowing for multiple levels of replayability

Multiple weapons, including pistols, submachine guns, rocket launchers, the trusty knife, grenades and many more.

Returning characters from many RE games, including Billy Coen, Rebecca Chambers, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira.

We also have the first screens of The Umbrella Chronicles, so tap the zombies below for a ten spot of screenshots.

We'll have more on both of the Wii's Resident Evil titles soon.
