So... we better be able to download the demo in some fashion.

ciD_Vain · Mar 28, 2011

Nice! The supposed release date for this in the US is may or june?

arnoldocastillo2003 · Mar 28, 2011

Nice addition, will be included in the software or will it have a separate cartridge?

Amalthea · Mar 28, 2011

Oh great, I was hoping for this!

It would be way too expensive to include an extra cart for a demo. I figure it will be on the Mercs cart.

It will most likely be on the cartridge. It makes little sense, from a business and usability standpoint, to create a separate cartridge.

Capcom knows how to sell their games.

Mercenaries purchase double confirmed.

Need to watch out for April 1st announcements

rainking187 · Mar 28, 2011

Wait, there are two Resident Evil games coming out for 3DS? I thought it was just two modes on the same cartridge.

JustAnotherOtaku · Mar 28, 2011

I was on the fence for The Mercenaries but, assuming the demo is in the UK version, this could be the deciding factor in buying for me.

DECK'ARD · Mar 28, 2011

Nice.

Revelations is the title I'm most interested in seeing.

Luigiv · Mar 28, 2011

Damn it Capcom! You really do know how to milk me.

Yeah, Mercenaries 3D is a fleshed out version of 4 and 5's Mecenaries mode that's coming in June whilst Revalations is of course a brand new game which is going to take much more time to release.

Whilst Mercenaries does sound a bit like milking, it's worth pointing out that it wouldn't really fit into Revelations as package, given the two share no content and the gameplay focuses are completely at odds with each other (Mercenaries = action to the "Xtreme"; Revelations = back to horror).

Jocchan · Mar 28, 2011

Oh damn, with online co-op and this now I'm on the fence again. If the price is right, I'll probably end up biting.
Good job, Capcom.

Why would Capcom throw away an incentive to buy Mercs? Maybe later on before the launch of Revelations.

I was actually talking more about Capcom releasing something for free when it's a large incentive to buy one of their products.

Nothing unbelievable in the footage we've seen.

What is this, 1997?

cw_sasuke · Mar 28, 2011

Such a great news - capcom is deliverin on 3ds.

Yoshichan said:

The catch is that it's guaranteed to look even better when it finally launches. Having seen both Mercenaries (playable) and Revelations (non playable) demos side by side, I was surprised to see that both had about the same level of detail despite Mercenaries sporting much more expansive environments.

Squalltdx · Mar 28, 2011

Also realizing the fact that this is only a "1st gen" game, it's pretty exciting to think what we'll be seeing over the next several years on handhelds. I never really planned on getting a 3DS till maybe end of the year/next year, but this game could probably push that time table up.

Smiles and Cries · Mar 28, 2011

nice

Tricky I Shadow · Mar 28, 2011

Awesome! Was already getting Mercenaries, but this is certainly a welcomed addition!

lupinko · Mar 28, 2011

Yay, my first 3DS game! And this one makes me glad I have a NTSCUC 3DS, since the NTSCJ sku will have censored exploding heads.

DXB-KNIGHT · Mar 28, 2011

It's a shame it's called Nintendo 3DS it must be called Capcom 3DS.

Mr. Pointy · Mar 28, 2011

You've won me over Capcom.

Mockingbird · Mar 28, 2011

I hope it's not the one from the January event in JP.

I bet that a different demo will be made available nearer to the release date.

Lots of closed betas (demos) and stuff going on - even the good guys by GAF standards do it. Totally en vogue now.

Cartman86 · Mar 28, 2011

The game that no one seems to realize exists and is separate from Mercenaries?

No the game everyone should realize is separate unless they have been living under a rock ( or have one of those "lives" things).

Oh god now I hope that MH rumor is true

Jocchan · Mar 28, 2011

Going by Capcom's PR, it looks like Jill is not the only playable character in Revelations:

Purchasers of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, scheduled for release in the coming months, will get a taste of the horror to come thanks to the addition of a playable demo of Resident Evil Revelations. Set on board an ocean liner, the demo lets players take control of one of the full games characters, Jill Valentine, as she explores the ships dark interior, killing any mysterious creatures that emerge from the shadows. A brand new title built from the ground up for the Nintendo 3DS, further details on Resident Evil Revelations will be revealed at this years E3.

Wow. Just saw the PR. It is the same demo. Well, that demo sucked. Hopefully Capcom improves upon it -- maybe actually have some items to pick up or something.

Hixx · Mar 28, 2011

Capcom are single handedly raising my interest level in the 3DS back to 'must have one!!!!!' Like they did with RE4 and the gamecube. I ended up quite liking my Gamecube. Hmm.

Alrus · Mar 28, 2011

Supposedly MH 3D was going to be announced by the end of the month or during april. (highly unlikely, it's way to early for capcom to choose a new platform).

I hear some people on 8-4 Podcast or something mention that MH 3DS was to be revealed at a canceled MH showing (earthquake and all). I haven't the time to listen to it so I can't vouch for the accuracy.

In fact, forget I said anything. REVELATIONS! Definitely one of my most hyped titles for the 3DS. Has nintendo heed fucking capcom lately? Cause I like it

cvxfreak · Mar 28, 2011

Awesome, awesome news. I'm hoping it's more than the Nintendo World demo myself, but still, this is a nice extra.

I though a 3DS MH is pretty inevitable, even if it is just a port of Tri or something similar.

Xater · Mar 28, 2011

Would have appreciated a download, but I was going to get Mercs most likely anyway.

AceBandage · Mar 28, 2011

This might finally get me to play a RE game...

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
