Halloween is over, and the only zombies we saw were on a t-shirt! Did you know the Nintendo Wii has had five Resident Evil games released on it? One, two, three, four, and five!
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles released on November 13, 2007 for the Nintendo Wii with a MSRP of $49.95. The game was published by Capcom, and it received an ESRB rating of "MATURE" with "Blood and Gore, Violence" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.
How many hours can you expect from Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles if you have never played it? How many U.S. Wii owners have reported playing it, and how many hours have they reported playing the game since it released? You may be feeling like a zombie from all the Halloween candy, so make sure to brew yourself some coffee and let's take a look!

Caffeinated Thoughts
I have not played any of the Wii's Resident Evil rail shooting games such as The Umbrella Chronicles, but I did own and beat Resident Evil 4 on the Wii. If you are not familiar with the storyline and gameplay of The Umbrella Chronicles, the video below will give you a good idea of what you can expect.
I don't think seeing Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles as the Wii's most played Resident Evil game according to "Total Hours", is really surprising. It was the Wii's first original, non-port, Resident Evil game and it was only followed up by just one other original Resident Evil Wii game; Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, which was also a rail shooter. The other three Resident Evil games were all ports of older Resident Evil games.
One thing I am wondering about is Resident Evil on the Wii U. Capcom is currently listed to only have one Wii U title in development and scheduled for release in the system's launch window, and that game is Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. I'm wondering if Capcom will take a different approach with the Wii U system, like the Wii Resident Evil rail shooters, and create new Resident Evil games for it; or, will they start off by porting over perhaps Resident Evil 5 and the newly released Resident Evil 6, both of which were not released for the Wii?
Questions
If you played Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles would you recommend it to other Wii owners?
Also, is Halloween candy laced with the t-Virus making people zombies? Perhaps, and I think on November 6th, it could be made very clear.
