No, it's not and it probably won't. - Just buy a GC copy. (I don't know why you'd want it, though, it's terrible... RE, RE Zero and RE4 were the only good ones.)

capcom lost the resident evil license or copy right or what ever less then a year ago(I don't mind corrections)I strongly doubt it over more than one fact,first nintendo know most of the general public will pay bottom dollar for a res copy simply because they are unaware and has the same hook for "some" zelda or mario fans;purists will understand the depth of the statement,secondly I personally believe nintendo will bend over backwards to get the rights and will not peddle the franchise,simply res is a monet maker,I got a 30year old mate who wants to borrow my wii and play my res games,tough titty thats MY WII =D

What kind of crack are you smokin and what is your dealers phone number? LOL As if Capcom would lose the license to the game series THEY CREATED. It's like saying "Nintendo lost the Mario license last year", completely absurd. Especially since they are currently making Res Evil 5 for 360/Ps3. When Nintendo starts (finally) releasing 3rd party N64 game on VC, Res Evil 2 will probably be on the agenda but it's a huge download. They had to use a 64mb cartridge for that game, and very few games used one that size. I have personally e-mailed Valiant Entertainment to find out the status of Shadowman 64 for VC and they e-mailed me back saying they've been in talks with Nintendo and Shadowman is definatly on the agenda. It will be a while tho since Nintendo seems keen on releasing only 1st Party titles for now till they run out. I am far far more keen for Forsaken 64 and Shadowman far before Res Evil 2 since they released Res Evil 2 on GC.

A Nintendo 64 version was also released in 1999, ported by Angel Studios (currently Rockstar San Diego).

While it was the only port of the game that did not feature the Extreme Battle mode, it did contain some console-exclusive features.

The most prominent was a series of additional in-game documents known as the "EX Files" that connected the plot of the game with the other games in the series (including the then-unreleased Resident Evil 0).

Other features include an item randomizer, violence control (allowing players to change the color of the blood), first-person controls and new unlockable outfits replacing the ones from the previous versions. The game supported the Rumble Pak and Expansion Pak.

The N64 version is notable due to the compression techniques that the developers were forced to use in order to fit 2 CD-ROMs worth of data onto a single 64MB cartridge.

There you go, so I can't see why they wouldn't release it?

I strongly stand by my opinion even though some statements are voiced it doens't deter the fact that I am right,if you don't like it chew it brother,RESI- willnot be on VC nintendo lost the license to make canonical chapters of the res story thats why umbrella isn't linear to the story but just a summary overcapping the events,I suggest you look more into it before anyone becomes to flagrant to become a bias empty head,I don't care how much you love the game or if it makes you regular I am right and you are wrong.

how is mario linked to res franchise??if I am arguing with a fan boy I'll gladly listen to white noise but in the companies view its apples and oranges,both are fruit both make money but different origins,only an idiot would confuse mario with a licensed product,mario has always been exclussive to nintendo and RESIDENT EVIL ARE A BOUGHT LICENSE OF THE FRANCHISE sure shadowman was made by capcom but it has nothing to do with nothing

EG BRAINIAC, SNES had squaresofts rights exclussively for the FF series but when FF7 was available for the PS1 the company goes hmmm
PS1 disc space or the cartridge of the 64 console and the company opted for the latter but wait-crystal chronicles isn't a canonical example nor a RPG in the FF universe

what crack are you smoking brother???

Wow, this guy makes Cheech and Chong look like normal citizens. Mario has nothing to do with Res Evil. He was saying Capcom lost the RE franchise and i was saying thats about as likely as Nintendo losing Mario......not going to happen. Shadowman was also NOT made by Capcom, but by an Acclaim Entertainment offshoot called Iguana Entertainment (also responsible for Turok at the time).

Back on topic, there is no reason why Nintendo cannot have Res Evil 2 on VC. Royalties would have to be paid to Capcom obviously, but that is also why Nintendo hasn't got any 3rd party N64 titles on VC, they are still working out royalties. Just like they are currently paying royalties to 3rd party developers on thier other VC consoles like the Megadrive, Nes and Snes etc etc. Once Nintendo have run out of 1st party N64 titles, they will start releasing 3rd party titles just like they are with all the other VC consoles. There is no reason why Capcom wouldn't like to make some free cash by allowing the N64 version of Res Evil 2 on VC.

Why doesnt RE2 on the N64 suck? Its identical to the original Ps1 and GC versions. In fact the colour depth was better on the N64 one over the Ps1. The only bad thing was the CGI Cutscenes where a little compressed and didn't look quite as good, but still very good anyway. Since RE4 on Wii only did moderatly well, and the only games that have excellent sales are minigames and casual titles, developers are shying away from making hardcore titles for the Wii like RE5
