The story follows the downfall of the bioengineering pharmaceutical company Umbrella Corporation by revisiting scenarios of earlier games in the series, such as Resident Evil Zero , Resident Evil , Resident Evil 2 , and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis , divided over four main chapters with ten scenarios in total.
The game ends one year before the events of Resident Evil 4 .
Players can choose from different familiar characters, such as Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Rebecca Chambers, Billy Coen, Carlos Oliveira, Ada Wong, HUNK and Albert Wesker.
While playing, the camera floats to different areas and players shoot enemies on the screen, picking up ammo, weapons and health kits in the progress.
In some situations, the controller can also be used as a melee weapon or in timed sequences.
Some levels feature multiple paths and there are regular checkpoints.
At the end of a level, the player's performance is awarded by stars, which can be exchanged for weapon upgrades.
The game supports the Wii Zapper and features cooperative gameplay for up to two players.
About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2007.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii U titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
