esident Evil 4: Wii Edition includes Wii Remote compatibility for numerous gameplay features such as aiming and shooting, reloading and a "search knife" function that aims the knife at the nearest enemy. Players can switch between the Wii Remote, Gamecube Controller and the Classic Controller at any time, depending on their preferred style of play.
The laser sight on guns is replaced with a circle reticule that flashes red (enemy) and green (no target) when a gun is drawn. The reticule is always presented on the screen, remaining a faint grey color that keeps track of the player's area of aim. This allows the player to aim and draw the gun, retaining the original aim (except while using a scoped weapon, such as the rifle or rocket launcher).
The Japanese version has its gore toned down and decapitations removed in the final product just as it did on the Gamecube. Footage of the Japanese version caused some to worry that the North American version would also be censored. The North American version, however, remains uncensored.
The Wii Edition also includes the extra content from the PlayStation 2 and PC versions. The Amateur and Easy difficulty included in the Japanese Gamecube version of the game are present. It was released in North America on June 19, 2007, and in Europe on June 29, 2007. This version also includes a trailer for Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.In addition, the Wii Edition supports 480p and 16x9 widescreen, as opposed to the letterbox of the GCN version. Otherwise, the visual quality remains very similar to the GCN iteration. Like the GCN version, the game features in-game cutscenes. However, the video clips found in Movie Browser and Separate Ways are FMVs. Also regarding the in-game cutscenes, if the player happens to choose mobster Leon and knight armor Ashley as their costumes for the game, in the cutscenes they will only appear in their normal default costumes.
