Resident Evil 4, already released on PS2 and GameCube, is coming to Wii this summer. It will feature all the content from the previous versions, and players will be able to use the Wii remote and nunchuk to both attack and evade enemies.
Atari has announced plans to publish Nintendo DS title Trioncube in Europe. The falling block puzzler is due to arrive here in June.
Also on the way from Atari is an expansion pack for hit PC game Neverwinter Nights 2. Titled Mask of the Betrayer, it will extend the level cap and offer a host of extra features including new races, companions, spells, classes, weapons and monsters.
Ubisoft also has an expansion pack in the works, this time for Heroes of Might and Magic V. A new Orc race will be introduced, complete with new abilities, troops and heroes. The add-on is out in the autumn.
