Those hoping for a remake of sorts will be disappointed though. Scans attained by fansite Resident Evil Horror reveal that the port will be little more than that, with the only noticeable gameplay extra being the addition of Wii Remote functionality to the controls -- to the point where the whole game can controlled with just the Remote.
As the last of the 'traditionally designed' instalments in the Resident Evil series' main canon, 2002's Resident Evil Zero was a quality title, as far as 'old-school' RE games go. However, with the Wii's ever-present backwards compatibility, those who already own a GameCube copy of the game may understandably be hard pressed to care for a near bare bones Wii port.
UPDATE: According to an official post over at Capcom's US forums, the Wii port of Resident Evil Zero is destined for Japan, with "no plans for a Western release for the title at this time". See folks? Even Capcom, the house of revisions and ports, has limits and standards.
