‘Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D’ Coming To The Nintendo 3DS eShop Tomorrow

If you’re a Nintendo 3DS owner who’s aching for some steamy mercenary on mercenary action — in 3D — then keep an eye on the 3DS’s eShop tomorrow, March 7. The Mercenaries began as a mode in Resident Evil 4 before becoming its own game on Nintendo’s handheld. It comes with eight playable characters from the world of Resident Evil (Albert Wesker, Barry Burton, Rebecca Chambers, Claire Redfield, Hunk, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Krauser) and a slew of maps — over 30 — that can be played alone or in co-op for the manageable price of $19.99.

Resident Evil Turns 15, Here’s a Trailer to Celebrate the Occasion

One of the grandaddies of horror, the Resident Evil series, has just turned 15. In this ultra-competitive industry dominated by Call of Duty and Farmville, it’s tough for a game or series of games to sell a million plus units, much less 40 million. It’s hard to argue that Resident Evil isn’t the biggest horror series out there and with two games coming to the Nintendo 3DS (Revelations and The Mercenaries 3D) as well as two more games on the way to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC (the Revival Selection and Operation Raccoon City) this is a mighty fine time to celebrate the past, present and future of the series.
