Capcom cleared the air on Dead Rising Wii today, not only confirming the title for America, but also providing some interesting details about the game.

Now subtitled Chop Till You Drop, Dead Rising will use the same engine as Resident Evil 4 Wii. Obviously the game will also utilize the Wiimote's "point-and-shoot" capabilities, but it will include other motion controls, too, such as shaking off zombies and throwing explosives.

The other big news is that the port will incorporate an "improved" save system. Many might be jumping for joy at that fact, while others might think that such a change will wussify the series. Either way, that's how the cookie crumbles, folks. We don't have details yet on whether or not the player will be able to save at any time, though.

Those of you who are still excited for the game (save system be damned) can expect it to hit North America sometime this winter. Also, check out the new screens in our gallery below.
