Reports indicate the Wii version of Resident Evil 4 - at least as it was released in Japan - includes less blood and guts than the GameCube and PS2 releases and a simplified enemy damage model that eliminates headshot kills and limb removal. Now, you can chalk some of this up to game balance; it's likely that the new damage model compensates for the Wii-mote control, which can deliver faster and more accurate aiming. But it doesn't explain the lack of gore, particularly in a market that's not known for being particularly puritanical. Don't count on the North American release - due out June 19 - being much different...
