Wait, what? AnotherResident Evilgame is coming to the 3DS? Is that some sort of record for an unreleased console? I think it might be.
Well, to be fair,Resident Evil: The Mercenarieswont betotallynew. From the sounds of it, the game will feature scenarios, characters, and gameplay from the Mercenaries modes found inResident Evil 4andResident Evil 5, but with new online co-op and competitive modes.That’s cool with me. The Mercenaries was easily my favorite part ofResident Evil 5. As forResident Evil 4, I loved the main campaign, but I definitely logged in a lot more total hours with its Mercenaries bonus content. To get all thaton the go, in 3D, with online play to boot? That may just end my productivity for life.
Sadly there’s no mention of the Mercenaries mode that started it all; the one fromResident Evil 3. Hopefully we’ll get some of that as well. I’d love to see Carlos andNikolaiget back in the action. They could be playable characters in theResident Evil 4and5modes, as the official press release does tout “brand new modes and well known characters from the series to enrich and extend the Mercenaries experience“. Could the old “dodge the dog on top of the dumpster” trick make a comeback as well?
