To put some things into perspective, there are a total of eight playable characters in The Mercenaries 3D, while assets, animations and such already exist for five other characters that could be included in the package.
What I do have an issue with is that it would’ve been comparatively easy to include more maps and more characters (such as Leon and Ada – yeah, they’re not anywhere to be seen at all) and yet for some obscene reason, Capcom have decided not to include them despite being some fan favourites. It’s obvious the game was slapped together from existing assets from previous games and to be perfectly honest, I have no issues with that. What’s most perplexing about The Mercenaries 3D is just how much content it’s missing, considering it’s a full priced standalone title. Most of the players will recognise the characters featured, with some having appeared only in the original game released all the way back in 1996 right through to the most recent, Resident Evil 5. The Mercenaries 3D is, for all intents and purposes a kind of “dream team” for the series, which brings together environments and characters from previous iterations in the series to simply duke it out and defeat as many infected enemies as possible.
Did The Mercenaries 3Ddo things the right way? Not really, and it’s a real shame too. I wasn’t really disappointed by the second announcement, but I did know that in order for this game to be successful, it would have to do things a certain way. And finally, Capcom announced The Mercenaries 3D, a kind of “spin-off” featuring the characters from previous games battling it out in an arcade style setting.
Then, I heard about Revelations and understandably became even more excited with an amazing looking game that returned to the series’ atmospheric and creepier roots. I was pretty excited when Capcom announced two Resident Evil titles for the Nintendo 3DS, although I had no idea what either of them were about and it was a really exciting time.
