Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3DS Announced

[Zombie Fred]

Wow, that looks better than I expected. Hopefully the 3DS allows online/wifi local play with some of your friends. The system is getting some nice software coming for sure.
EDIT: Just saw the last part of the pres release on the wifi play. That's got me satisfied.

Thanks for the screens Xfactor! Cool to see Jill in the RE4 castle. Hopefully there are some new characters/stages though.

[Rombie]

...umm, so now there is 2 games, one of which might as well been the extra mode in the other. Sorry, I'm not convinced. Revelations looks nice. But I'm still not keen Capcom, sorry.

[Bianca]

Wow, I've been wanting a Mercenaries-only type of game for a really long time! I'm really happy, because I never thought it was possible. I just hope some of my faves are playable, notably Ada and Claire. If there's a large assortment of characters and stages, it could be absolutely great.

The Revelations gameplay looks nice, too. But, as some others mentioned, I hope the the first-person shooting is only optional. I'd be terribly disappointed, otherwise...

[xfactor]

The 1st person view looks to be optional, since one of the screens shows Jill in RE4 3rd person perspective.

[Darkmoon]

Revelations looks vaguely interesting, but I'm rather hoping for zombies over Plagas stuff, and the Regenerator suggests Plagas. Which makes me sad.

Even if I was planning to buy a 3DS, I wouldn't bother with the Mercs game. Just not my thing. I like a little plot to game.

[xfactor]

That Merc title looks to be a game aims for the multiplayer handheld fun kind of title rather than a full RE title. Its meant to be those short-burst 5~10 minutes type of game.

[Darkmoon]

Oh, yes. It's just not the kinda game I like. I'm not huge into mutiplayer (I have a low tolerance for idiocy and having fuck ups yelling racial slurs because they got there ass kicked quicly goes over the top of it) and I was never fond of Mercs since RE3. The RE4 and RE5 versions just don't do it for me, so this doesn't look like the game for me.

I'm sure for you guys still playing RE5 mercs this'll be great.

[Pikminister]

I think saving up $250 by March of 2011 is doable. Heck, I may even pay the $300 bucks.

The games are just too damn tempting. Plus the 3D capabilities (pictures, movies) and other neat features are a big plus.

[Duckula]

If Revelations goes back to the style of gameplay of RE4 (suggested by the regenerators) then sign me up.

[DONNIemo]

What a joke. A Mercenaries-only title? What a complete joke. Instead of adding the option in Revelations, they make you buy a whole new game altogether. Absolutely pathetic. I realize the milking of Resident Evil has been in full swing for a few years now, but this is downright atrocious. It looks like RE5's Mercs mode but with new characters. Why couldn't they have just added more characters for RE5? Because they'd rather charge full fucking price for a brand new game on a brand new handheld.

The 3DS has a pretty serious lineup, I'll give it that... but at $300 at launch, I don't see myself getting it.

As for the Revelations footage...



...that looks a lot like a Regenerator, no?

I agree, what shit, no offence to the "millions" but I dont give a shit about multiplayer, I just like playing RE games alone, as intended. Fuck all this action inspired shit. Its hardly Resident Evil anymore ARGH!

... At least the other title looks good. But really I have to buy yet another DS.. I hardly use the ones I have already


Rant over

[Biokk]

I think I'm sold and shall be indulging in a 3DS!

Now let's just hope that the characters and stages of Mercenaries are a little more varied and not just a mix of RE4 & 5 Merc modes as the images suggest. Fingers crossed for the inclusion of Claire. She needs her over-the-shoulder debut even if it is just in Mercenaries for the time being...

[DONNIemo]

If you need more 3DS selling, watch any of these 2 videos from Nintendo Japan. My jaw is still on the floor.

WOW!!! Revelations is by far the best looking game of 3DS at this point.

[A-J]

At this point they're just mindfucking everyone who wanted RE PSP

[Beanovsky Durst]

Don't. Care. Price. Sexy. Portable. RE. Must. Get.

Two titles? Geez... It's no RE6 but at least we got another Resi Title. I love Mercs, so for me it's a must (since we all know it will obviously feature Wesker... It's a no brainer for me.)

[Alkar]

Well this is great news. Maybe now instead of a simple extra, Mercenaries can be actually expanded a bit more and have tons of characters.
Looking at those silhouettes it's clear that Wesker is in as well. You can see him all the way to the top. The others look like Leon, Ada and Claire in that order from left to right after Wesker. Any other ideas about them? Claire could actually be Sheva as well and considering this is RE4+5 it would make sense... but I'm hoping that's not the case lol.

[Canas Renvall]

I have been asking for this... since RE5 came out. Oh my God it's like the happiness all up in my business! 8D

This is great news! Keep it coming!

[Davi Redfield]

I never liked Mercenaries this much. Just it's not my thing. Either multiplayer.
