We have all heard by now that Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is coming over to your Wii and I was one that thought so what. Dead Rising was a great game on the Xbox 360, but I played that over a year ago and have almost forgotten completely about it. Looks like the Wii version will not be a port but instead a brand new game that is being designed for the Wii. This could be good in that the incorporation of motion controls could make the game interesting again, but can also hurt the game as well, the Wii graphically and from a processing standpoint just cant do the same things as the 360. We will probably get the same story with a lot less enemies and some quirky control scheme, I would just grab the 360 version instead, you can probably grab a used copy for $25.

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop includes the following features:
• Utilizes the same engine as Resident Evil 4 Wii edition.
• New level of interaction – aim and fire guns, swing and throw weapons and shake off zombie attacks with added Wii Remote functionality
• Huge environment – expansive indoor and outdoor areas of the mall provide a variety of different locations to explore
• Improved save functionality allows for more seamless gameplay
• Hoards of enemies on screen at once resulting in non-stop, pulse-pounding action
• Anything in the mall is at Frank’s disposal
• Grab environmental objects like umbrellas and benches to use as improvised weapons
• Snatch items from different stores to use as weapons including golf clubs, lawnmowers, frying pans and more
• Consume food and drink to revive health
