Wesker will be back in Resident Evil 5
Richard Waugh, the former voice of Albert Wesker (Wesker's Report, CV, RE0, RE4), during a short interview for Zentendo.com revealed that Wesker will return in Resident Evil 5, unfortunately he will be voiced by D.C Douglas, the same voice actor of Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles.
Waugh explains the reason:
"I did the voice recordings for Wesker in Umbrella Chronicles. However Capcom has decided that they want to hire non-union actors in California instead, so my voice was replaced."
It's a shame Waugh won't be in RE5, he was the most popular voice actor of the series.

UPDATE 17 Giugno 2008 --- 23:13
Dear fans, Wesker will be back in RE5, but he will not be the "real" Wesker without the voice of Richard Waugh.
No one can replace Richard Waugh, he's irreplaceable, Waugh IS Wesker! If you are a Wesker's fan and you want the real Wesker back, please sign the petition at the link below.

Capcom: No RE0 Wii for the West
Christian Svensson, Capcom's Corporate Officer/Vice-President of Strategic Planning & Business Development, has announced via their official forum that Capcom Japan asked Capcom USA twice about releasing Resident Evil 0 Wii in North America and Capcom USA declined both times. The reason for this is, apparently, because western fans don't want it.
"We've been asked twice if we've wanted to bring it Westward and twice we've declined.
I know it's a quality port, our guys do quality work but We've listened to the community at-large on this particular issue and it's pretty obvious that it's not wanted by gamers here."

The official website for the Yamasa's Biohazard pachislot machine is online, and it cointains a short CG promotional movie.
What is a pachislot? It's a Japanese gaming device, a cross between a pinball machine and a video slot machine. This whole deal is part of Capcom's 2009 strategy that involves supporting Pachislot machines. Namely, licensing their most popular franchises for Pachislot use.
