Resident Evil 5 — New Character and Gameplay Detail

Erik Johnson writes "New details for Resident Evil 5 have been unveiled in the latest issue of 'Famitsu,' a Japanese video game magazine, including a familiar face returning to the hero role, some info on the enemy, and the revealing of a couple new characters."

As intended?

I wonder if the Ganados representing multiple races and the inclusion of a "dark-skinned" female character was always intended, or if it was just a reaction to the racism concerns.

On the Wii?

Will it come out for the Wii as well as 360 and PS3?

I never really thought of RE4 as racist, I just took it for what it was. I don't know anything about the setting of RE4 so I could not comment on whether the behaviors and settings were patterned after the actual population and location but it might as well have been made up anyway because there were no unaffected people in the game besides some of the main characters of the story, who were also made up. It just seemed like a cheesy action movie that was a lot of fun to play. Why is everyone upset about this game again?
