The only thing that's going to change about RE and RE Zero from GameCube to Wii is the controls- the camera angles will remain as they were.
I'm talking about the remakes of Zero and One by the way.
Wait, is it going to be 3rd person OTS like RE 4 or are they gonna keep the crap camera angles from the other games?
