Capcom Had Resident Evil 5 Up And Running On The Nintendo 3DS

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.

    1. 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!

    1. 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.

      1. 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

  1. 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.

    1. Sad part is though that not too many would agree with you, and the development costs wouldn’t be covered by sales profit.

  2. 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.

        1. 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.

          1. 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?

            1. 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

              1. 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.

                1. 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!

    1. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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!)
