It's my least favorite version, but I wouldn't mind playing it on the Gamepad.

Wii Remote+Nunchuk controls for RE4 are truly amazing. Fast. Responsive. Precise. Best controls ever for a RE game.
You forgot Mobile Edition. I want to say there was a non-smart phone version of the game too.
Edit: Oh, looks like that's a video of the final boss.
EditEdit: Now a video of El Gigante. You can thank me for not being a spoiling sally of the Citizen Kane level of story telling you will experience.

If it ever gets a handheld port, I'd imagine we would have to wait for the NX. Capcom wouldn't bother with the Vita and I don't think the 3DS could do a straight port justice.
They actually adjusted enemy health and the effectiveness of headshots in the Wii version for this very reason.
I can vouch personally for the game recognizing a CC plugged into the Wiimote at boot in the US release, so I guess you can string me up if it doesn't work!

Where's my PS4 version. Come on Capcom, it's out on almost every system known to man and ya still don't have the 60FPS HD edition for current gen?
Yeah, I'm waiting for a PS4 re-release.
The Wii version looks... unpleasant on an HDTV.

Correct. It's the one weird case where it's not compatible for some bizarre reason.
You can't. (unless you use a CC or Wiimote to control it of course)

I should be in drunk gaf right now...
...but...
RE4 was my wife's dearly departed mom's favorite game. She loved watching me play it... so I'll gladly dl it again, buy some of those individually wrapped cheeses she loved, and relax with a good scotch while I play.
Long live RE, long live RE4.

Ultimate Evil Edition on PC is the only version of RE4 that's 60fps. It's pretty nice. It also has all the visual effects that were previously exclusive to the GameCube.

The pointer aiming completely break the game from a difficulty perspective, but it makes the game just feel so damn good to play. It turns into an absolutely incredible arcade-like experience. You can pop-off headshots with ease and play through the game really quickly. And considering it's an action game, it works really well.
Oh, and Mercenaries mode becomes FANTASTIC with pointer aiming.
It's probably safe to say RE4 will get a remaster at some point, but not for a long time yet, seeing as how they're making plenty of of money rereleasing it over and over.

And Wii no? Since that's a direct port of it, and I also recall the PS2 content included was enhanced with the GC version's assets right?

The PS2 version looked like shit compared to the Gamecube, if I recall.
EDIT: Never mind; I see what you meant.

True. I played it on PS2 and loved it.

They did work to make Assignment Ada look better with Gamecube textures, but they couldn't fix the cutscenes. It's especially bad on PC.
Also Assignment Ada is terrible still. No one fixed that.
You're right. The Wii port does have the GameCube effects.
So yeah, the original GameCube release, Wii port, or PC Ultimate Evil Edition are definitely the way to go on RE4.

Best. Game. Of. All. Time.
I still have the Wii version so most likely I will not be purchasing this version of the game, yet I am absolutely thrilled to see it pushed unto newer platforms, everybody must play this masterpiece at least once in their lives.
If there is a game that deserves to be ported every single generation, it is Resident Evil 4.

Bear in mind that the key difference -if you decide to go with Wiimote controls- is that two crucial stats (aiming speed and recoil) are instantly robbed from every single gun in the game, homogenising the entire armoury outside of stopping power, firing rate, damage and reload time. It simply makes the game effortlessly easy by disposing of the original game's sublime combat balance, and kills the awesome feeling of panic the game is famous for. The Wii version also allows for regular controls though if you have a classic controller.
Otherwise, the difference is mainly cosmetic. The PS3 version is of course much higher res, but lacks some of the graphic effects of the Wii/GC version, mostly pertaining to transparency- fog, water etc.
You can't really go wrong with either, but if you have the opportunity to play both, the PS3 version is probably best overall.

Play it with a Classic Controller first. Then play it with a Wiimote.
Why? Because the game is absolutely delicious with gamepad controls, and absolutely delicious with wiimote controls. It is truly the best game ever.

IR pointing != waggle. I mean there are some waggle bits but they just replace tapping a button or swirling a stick.
IR pointing is the best way to play this game ( I think)
I'm glad we are getting more Digital Wii games but I guess I set my standards too high when I hoped we were getting Xenoblade when it was announced EU was getting a digital Wii game this week that we already got. I have this on 360 but never got to playing it, is this version any better?

I didn't know that, but still, it felt much easier than when I played it on GC. Though that could've been the fact that I had beaten the game more than 20 times. Greatest game ever, in my opinion. A shame 5, and 6 didn't stack up.
And yes, I think the NX would have the more realistic chance at running the game without compromising the experience. Though, the vita could very well handle it.

The only way Vita owners will ever be able play this game is through PS Now.
Obviously, not the definitive version, but better than nothing.

Nintendo does a really great job in getting third party support for their BC solution.
