CHRONICLES
Today Capcom announced that Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles would be
available exclusively for Nintendo Wii, November 17, 2009 for $49.99 in North
America. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles features an intense horror
experience with arcade style zombie shooting gameplay that one or two players
can enjoy simultaneously.
A few weeks ago, we gave you a heads up on the limited edition
“Let Your Darkside Out” T-shirt, which transforms you into a zombie when lifted
over your head, available at Comic-Con. For anyone who wasn’t at Comic-Con that
wants to get the shirt – which doubles as a Halloween costume – there are a few
ways you can get one:
Pre-order the game now at GameStop and get the T-shirt for free!- Win one! Check out select websites including G4, USA
Today Game Hunters, CrunchGear, AOL GameDaily, Escapist, Destructiod, Ars

There, players get a small taste of the Resident Evil 2 section of the gameplay
experience on the web, as well as information, videos and other downloads.
