Capcom has revealed that the development team behind Resident Evil: Revelations and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D initially started developing both games by running Resident Evil 5 on the Nintendo 3DS. The development team were so impressed at how Resident Evil 5 ran on the Nintendo 3DS that they began starting work on Resident Evil: Revelations and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D in parallel with each other.

If only they would release it on 3DS. I would so buy it.
i would buy it too, as i loved re5, but i am much happier that they chose to make a brand new game. lets all hope re6 makes it to wii u!

I did have an inclination that I had posted a similar story a while back but I couldn’t find anything in the search on the site (shame search doesn’t work better)
This is from February…last year: http://nintendoeverything.com/60295/
It was posted in lots of websites,
Even before the release of Resident Evil Mercenaries

I didn’t know about this either but still it appears to be old news lol
I, for one, had no idea about this.

Use the key words – Resident Evil 5 3DS

It’s new to mynyntendonews, so it’s new
potatoes
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
… no
That’s impressive.
Fist
You failed so hard….its funny!!! xD
He won so hard since you bought it.
probably had like 20 fps.
No man.
Did you play mercenaries? Cuz yea at times it was that bad.
yep
Framerates can help or kill a game, so if they were that impressed, I imagine the game wasn’t that slow.
If the team was so impressed then I doubt it.
then play it on your $1,000,000,000,000,000.00 PC
what a funny stereotype ^-^. my PC cost $800.
You must of bought it at Walmart then cause mine was 1400 and not even that great.
You sir, got ripped off.
he probably bought one, making on is 10x cheaper.
Old news from one year now.
tenho muito orgulho do nintendo 3DS *-*
translation- “i’m very proud of the Nintendo 3DS *-* “
Legal saber que não sou o unico brasileiro aqui! :D
Impressive. Most impressive
…how the hell? What, with like, PS3 graphics and everything?
What the actual fuck? Now I’m expecting to see some super gorgeous looking games for the 3DS.
Capcom can use the 3ds tech better than Nintendo can. LOLWHUT.
GTFO hater.
Well it’s easier because it’s a small screen. It’s not as powerful as the PS3, but it looks just as good because the processor has to do a lot less work with a 3 inch screen.
3 inch screen perhaps but its still 240×800 in 3d which isnt nothing
its a lot less than ps3 dont get me wrong but the size of the screen doesnt really matter as much as the resolution of the console itself
I know. Give me RE5, RE6, Arkham Asylum, and Arkham City if that’s possible. Throw in some GTA as well.
Well, if this is true, they should bring RE5 to the 3DS. I mean, a lot of the people who bought a 3DS probably had a Wii. Like myself. Which means we missed out on RE5. And yeah, it was bad, apparently. But I would gladly play $40 or $50 for it if given the chance.
Sad part is though that not too many would agree with you, and the development costs wouldn’t be covered by sales profit.
Or when they said they had it running, maybe they just had part of the first level running on it.
Just read the “Iwata asks” interview tgis story is based on. Must read them more often

This is news to me. So I appreciate it.
Having a game up and running is pretty vague… i wonder how much was actually retained
i want Resident Evil 6 on the Wii U
1. This is old news.
2. That doesn’t mean it may have looked as good as the 360/PS3 version
3. I bet it was running at 10fps anyway.
4. No one cares about your opinion.
5. Stop flooding the comments.
6. If you didn’t care, then why would you reply? Stupid twat.
7. I’m not even flooding the comment…
8. No need to call me names.
9. I didn’t reply because I cared about your opinion, but to tell you it’s stupid.
10. Your flooding was contributed by that comment.
11. It’s not stupid, i’m just saying this is old news.
12. I don’t know why you got annoyed just for saying “this is old news”
13. You don’t have to read every single comment.
14. What are you, the My Nintendo News Cop?
15. It’s stupid to call this old news as it’s relative.
16.I got annoyed because I don’t care if it’s old news to you as it apparently wasn’t to most readers including myself.
17. I only know if a comment is worth reading AFTER I’ve read it.
18. This conversation is hilarious.
19. I’m not a cop, I’m THE I
20. It’s not stupid, we knew RE:5 was running on 3DS almost a year ago i didn’t expect to see it again.
21. Posting this news again, people may actually think RE:5 is coming to the 3DS.
22. Then you don’t need to reply to any of the comments you don’t like, it’s like these are the type of comments you are looking for.
23. Yes this conversation is hilarious.
24. You can’t say “we” as everyone hasn’t.
25. Nah, people are not as retarded as you think.
26. These are not the kind of comments I’m looking for, these are the kind of comments I’m trying to prevent.
27. Damn, this conversation is long!
IM A FAGGOT DURR IM GOING TO MASTURBATE TO SONY PRODUCTS
Thank you for the information, we all wanted to know that.
Lol good point, but go easy, he’s just frustrated the tides of the market are flowing back into nintendos favor, and now his parapa the rapped schwag is down in value
good to know… *backs away*
God damn it capcom, stop showing us how awesome the 3DS is.
Old news!
^Old comment.
Awesome! Capcom could you please port 5 over to 3DS or even Wii U. Although I think I might prefer a 3DS version at this point.
They should release GTA V using the 8 gigabyte cartridge. Damn that would be sweet!
It’s not old news to me, I’ve never heard this before so it new news. Apparently other didn’t know this either. If it’s old to u please click on another article.
FIRST!!!
i hate those comments
That’s all great and all but the demo was disappointing. It really need a second pad.
I think the earlier style RE (remember fixed cameras) would have been a better fit for the 3DS. Clever camera positioning would fit very well the 3D and it takes out the need for a 2nd stick.
New news to me. Thanks Sikr :)

Bufff !!! 3DS rulz !
If they used RE5 to develop revelations and the mercenaries 3D, then isn’t it a good idea to.put resident evil 5 on the 3DS? besides, I’m psyched for resident evil 6.
Sickr, thanks for getting me hooked with the resident evil series even more! (i am a multifan. i like halo, sonic, mario, blazblue, prince of persia, star wars, star fox, star trek, and others too!)
