Resident Evil Pachinko Shows More Than Jill Sandwiches
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 9:00 PM on June 27, 2008
In Japan, it's pretty common for video games to have pachinko machines. Heck! Movies, anime and manga character even get pachinko machines based on them. It's not just spinning metal balls! New pachinko machines even feature large LCD-type displays to keep players engaged. Pachinko maker Yamasa's Resident Evil machine puts poor Jill Valentine through the standard series of scares and shootings -- if only for suggestive glances!

What song was that playing while they were fighting tyrant?
I caught phrases like "Crucifixtion", "kill you no forgiveness" and "Will survive till the end"...
God damn that guitar sounds so legendary.

I like how despite her figure her clothes aren't really that flattering. Seems a lot more realistic. Hot women don't look sexy in everything, after all!

I had a pachinko machine when I was 5. But it didn't have... that. *tilts head* No, I'm sure I'd have remembered something like that.

I'm guessing that in order to get these scenes you have to get the balls to roll down Nemesis' tentacles.
And you wonder why pachinko arcades are restricted to adults and punk-ish high school students.

@Kazzahdrane: Her regular STARS outfit was arguably more flattering, that outfit is really just...weird.
[www1.yamasa.co.jp] <- Should link to the full trailer; I watched it and was confused that it was for a pin-ball machine. Then I found out later that a lot of these pachinko machines have really hyper-insane commercials.

If in either uniform, or street attire I loved Jill.
Just something about her, is just strong will (and of course beautiful)
Pachinko games just capture "the magic". Don't they?

You funny Japanese! She's got a (torn) tube-top to a zombie bash! That is in violation of the Zombie Handbook!

Wow nice side-boob action there Capcom! =)The second pic where she's getting up from the squat position looks like she's enjoying herself.
On the last pic, it looks like her dress is about to come off. You stay classy Capcom!

I always disliked Jill's 'street' clothes she wore in Resident Evil 3 - seemed pretty transparently some japanese character designer's stab at high coture women's fashion.
Jill as a character I like though. Her STARS outfit is pretty legendary, even though the half flak-jacket she's wearing never quite made sense.

Nope, can't do it. The eyes are too crossed. Someone needs to slap her upside the head with a rocket-launcher or somethin and help her out.

Hey, They shouldn't be objectifying Jill like that! Shame on them! Ever since Resident Evil 3 all the perverts just want to glance at her naughty bits with no regard for her "excellent character development and personality". This displeases me.
