In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the 'Ultimate HD Edition' for PC in early 2014. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007.
Resident Evil 4 (known as Biohazard 4 in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series.
