So we here at Kotaku (and by “we” I mean “the interns”) were going to briefly demo Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D‘s co-op gameplay for you-but being the forward-thinking young professionals that we are, we thought, why not kick it up a notch?
In case you haven’t heard, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries will only have one save file – a save file that cannot be deleted. Capcom has completely denied that this is an attempt to halt pre-owned sales of the game – but if that was the intention, then it has worked, in Australia at least. Because EB games will not be accepting trades of the game, and it’s likely that other retailers will follow that decision.
If you’ve already picked up your copy of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D for Nintendo 3DS, then you’ve also probably already played the preview of Resident Evil: Revelations, which is included as a special feature. If you haven’t, the preview is about five minutes worth of gameplay, and it’s a great peek at what we should be seeing next year in the full game.
Remember the time you gunned down all of those terrifying, pasty monks? Or when that unhinged fella with the chainsaw chased you down the alleyway? Man, that was really fun.
