Game Description:

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles for Nintendo Wii dropped in 2009, developed and published by Capcom, and turns classic Resident Evil nightmare fuel into an arcade-style rail shooter with Wii Remote aiming. Instead of slowly opening creepy doors like your character has rent-controlled anxiety, this one throws you straight into the chaos with zombies, monsters, and classic Capcom biohazard nonsense flying at your face.

The game revisits major events from Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica, while also adding new story content that helps connect pieces of the Resident Evil timeline. You can play solo or team up in two-player co-op, which is great because nothing says friendship like panic-shooting undead science experiments together.

With cinematic camera movement, upgraded visuals over its predecessor, and a darker tone, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is a solid pickup for Wii collectors, Resident Evil fans, and anyone who thinks survival horror needed more pointing at the screen like you’re accusing zombies of tax fraud. If you’re looking to buy retro games on Retro Games eXchange, this is a strong addition to the horror shelf.
