Laut Capcoms Product Marketing Manager Matt Dahlgren gibt es für Wii-Besitzer bald allen Grund zur Freude. Kombiniert man diese Aussage mit der kürzlich veröffentlichten Pressemitteilung zu Capcoms Resident Evil 5-Release-Party (siehe unten), könnte es am 12. März 2009 bereits soweit sein. Denn laut der Ankündigung zur Resident Evil-Party soll an diesem Tag ein neuer Titel der Weltöffentlichkeit vorgestellt werden. Die Gerüchte verdichten sich nun dank Dahlgrens Aussage dazu, dass das neue Spiel ein Resident Evil für Wii sein soll. Bei IGN wird sogar schon ein Name in den Mund genommen: "Resident Evil: Code Veronica".
Die Aussage Matt Dahlgrens:
"...Nintendo Wii fans will be very happy very soon."
Resident Evil 5 Launch Party-Ankündigung:
To celebrate the release of Resident Evil 5 on Friday, March 13th, Capcom and our friends at GameStop are throwing a launch party! On the eve of the launch, Thursday the 12th, meet us at Union Square in San Francisco to usher in Resident Evil 5. The event kicks off at 8pm and ends at midnight when you will be able to pick up your game- in-between we’ll have plenty going on to keep you busy. For starters, there will be a whole tent dedicated to the game where tons of kiosks will be set up and players will get a chance to get their hands on the game before grabbing it at midnight. You’ll also have the chance to win prizes and giveaways, meet the development team including co-producers, Takeuchi-san and Kawata-san and hang out with the motion capture/voice actors that played Chris, Sheva and Josh. To top it all off there will be new game announcements, stage shows, and Resident Evil activities all through out the night.
In order to guarantee you get the game at midnight, please stop by the Powell Street GameStop before the party to get your game transaction processed. You will need to get your proof of purchase wrist band and receipt for the GameStop store in order to pick-up your game at the party.
Also make sure to get there early as there will be limited space and we want to make sure you all get to enjoy the party!
Just to re-cap the details: be at Union Square in San Francisco by 8:00pm. I highly recommend getting there EARLY. We’ll party until midnight, then you can get your copy of the game with proof of purchase at the Powell St. GameStop. See you there!
