Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D

So ummm.....I don't have a 3DS, and I probably won't play a game based on an afterthought minigame from real Resident Evil games...but...I'm still very much curious about a game that's essentially a glorified minigame of an actual game...

So who played it? What's it like? Hows the reception(outside of the game save controversy).

How good/bad did it do? Bomb? Success?

More importantly.......I saw a bit of gameplay videos...

• how come all melee attacks have lightning in them? Why is there a lightning bolt when enemies die?

• how come even in the villages of RE 4, there isn't any spanish villagers? Just those cultists?

<.< >.>

This is a Capcom game, you know. I'm pretty surprised that you were the one to start this thread.

....how come?

I do play Resident Evil...RE 4 is one of my highest rated game on the Wii. And I frequently find myself explaining to people calling RE 5 racist that they're trying to find racism that isn't even there.

Plus........the idea of turning a minigame meant to slightly increase replayability into a full fledged game and expecting people to pay for it like an actual game really confuses me.

But as I pointed out, I most likely won't even buy this game...but the very idea of this game still surprises me.

I apologize if I offended you in any way but you seemed to be one of those who would have nothing to do with Capcom after the whole MML 3 thing.

...I'm a bit ticked that they cancelled it...and genuinely curious about why they really cancelled it(their explanation is pure bs), but...they still have other games I still want to play...like any potential future Monster Hunter games.

Plus, this is still the company that created one of the best platformer, and what is easily the best game on the Wii.

Hell, the main reason why I bought a Wii is because I learned that Monster Hunter Tri was a Wii exclusive!

Am I pissed off that they cancelled Legends3? Yep. But not as pissed as I would have been if they cancelled a Mega Man ZX or X game or a Monster Hunter game. That woulda really pissed me off!

So....RE Mercenaries 3D...how did this game do? And why do all melee attacks have lightning in them for some reason?

Well, regarding the lightning, if you look at the upper right hand corner of the touchscreen there are a trio of what I think are ability icons. The lightning is either an offensive ability or a buff.

From what I've heard, it's pretty mediocre.
