I think it did pretty good on DS over time... With price cuts I guess, but still... Better than on the other platforms at least... Not as good as R was hoping but come on, they probably wouldn't be happy with anything less than 3D GTA numbers, as if any top-down GTA did that, or as if they threw the same kind of huge budget for the game's development... That would be like Square expecting the FF DS remakes to do as good as FFX... Good or not, top-down GTA isn't for everyone, unlike 3rd person GTA.

Oh man, Capcom might get me with a Resident Evil game. Figured it would be a cold day in hell first. We'll see.

I bought it. GET OFF MY BACK!

Are we sure this listing is online co-op play and not some sort of ranking/download missions monster hunter style feature?

No gameplay details have been revealed other than the game supporting 1-2 players via local or internet play.

Not my fault Rockstar wanted $40 instead of $20 after a year late port of a DS game. *snooty huff*

It bombed everywhere it was released actually. But it specifically bombed on DS because of the demographic on DS (and that new GTA philosophy that has made it this big doesn't match with DS capabilities inherently), it'll be like suddenly releasing a 3D GTA on Wii, course it won't sell anywhere as much as GTA3-4. (btw I had the game for like a few days, but didn't really like it that much)

I can go dig my posts from a few months ago, but I was warning that Nintendo pushing 3DS solely through Mario will cause the demographic to be mostly void of core gamers, and hence games like RE:R not selling on the system.

However, seeing that this game is shaping up to be a true RE experience, the current 3DS line-up in Japan and lack of any major game for Vita which will obviously effect the demographic in the west as well, Slide-Pad introduction, and also the best selling game in the west being OoT by a very large margin, I am a bit relieved.

Played this for about 10 minutes at a Capcom event. It was my first time using a 3DS too.

Damn, this game looked good. Although I couldn't figure out how to move and shoot, isn't that a feature in this game?

I suspect it didn't actually sold that much on PSP alone. for comparison, it had sold 1.3m on PS2 and 1.8m on PSP in the US by December 2007. Which if hold true WW, means it has sold 4.7 on PSP.

The game's not co-op; not even the "online info" (and the reason of this thread) mentions co-op. :p

Would be cool though, but the main game is not. Well, at least based on the demo and nearly every video of it.

It is.

It's unclear how much the PSP version sold, but it was leading 1.8 to 1.3 million back in North America alone back in 2007.

Even if we split it 50/50 though, I think it's still likely to be the biggest in the West for the foreseeable future unless we count smartphones as handhelds.

Nah, this would probably just feature characters, enemies, areas and weapons from this game (in order to save on storage space). The actual Mercs game is really fleshed out with a good amount of content.

Mercs was missing a ton of characters, costumes, and stages.

Yes, I agree in the west we won't see something this big in numbers. However, I was mainly bolding it in terms of the importance in the franchise and budget, it is probably one of the biggest 3rd party titles on handheld by these measures. There are some other games even on DS that sell pretty well, like Professor Layton games, but they aren't really 'big' titles.

There's a scan floating around...and I'm starting to understand.
The modes in the menu image: Campaign, Raid mode, Missions, Options.
Ah, there are also two new characters presented, Keith Lumley and Quint Cetcham; they're also on the site.

From what it looks like in the scan it seems that Keith and Quint are playable. So that's three teams for this game, I guess.

Sounds great, I imagine raid mode is like horde mode in GoW or something. Sounds like Missions mode in mercenaries more or less. This game just gets better and better. Damn I'll probably have to get the 2nd slider expansion for this game.

Also, saw in one of the scans they're fighting a Hunter. So one classic enemy is back.

This is far and away the most graphically amazing game for the 3DS. I think maybe it was to the system's detriment that it was one of the first games revealed, though. Other companies just couldn't hang with Capcom's multi=platform engine (I forgot the name of it).



I don't own a 3DS yet, but the fact that meaty, graphically beautiful shooters are coming out for it I hope is a good omen for the system becoming something more than just a machine for running Nintendo first-party games.


I really, really want this to be a big success and maybe encourage other companies to make action-heavy, graphically intense games. Basically what I'm saying is that we are all aware that the 3DS lags behind the Vita in the "horsepower" department. Looking at games like RE though, one begins to wonder if perhaps the 3DS isn't as stunted as many assume.

I mean, any way you slice it that is a beautiful damn game you can play in the palm of your hands. Capcom has been getting a ton of shit lately, and rightly so I suppose, but they know how to work that 3DS, dawg.

Woah, they really remind me of the two unused characters from Resident Evil 1.

It would a nice idea for Nintendo to include a gamble game in a future OS update to earn coins.
