History VideoGame / ResidentEvilGaiden

* BareYourMidriff: Subverted, the only case of a bare midriff in this game is the body of a woman wearing a blue bikini that can be found in the pool area of the ship.

!!''Resident Evil Gaiden'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationDyeJob: In this game Barry is a redhead, while in the rest of the series he's a brunet.

* BagOfHolding: Unlike most other games in the series, this one gives you an unlimited inventory.

* StockSuperpowers: Lucia has a HealingFactor and [[SuperSenses super hearing]], which makes Barry suspect that she might be the escaped B.O.W. [[spoiler:He's half right. It's actually due to the different parasite B.O.W. she's infected with, and she loses her powers when it's extracted.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: In this game Barry is a redhead, while in the rest of the series he's a brunette.

After the events of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Resident Evil 3]]'', Barry Burton and Leon S. Kennedy joined a secret anti-Umbrella organization, comprised of former S.T.A.R.S. members and ex-Umbrella employees and set on putting a stop to the operations of the evil medical corporation.

* GaidenGame: It's even in the title. The game isn't a main entry in the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series (and has actually been [[CanonDiscontinuity removed from continuity): instead, it's a side story about Leon and Barry investigating a boat overrun with zombies.

!!This game provides examples of:

* AdaptationDyeJob: In this game, Barry is a redhead, while in the rest of the series, he's a brunette.
* AlienBlood: The escaped B.O.W. has green blood, [[spoiler: as does the parasite B.O.W. in Lucia. The last shot of the game has a close up of "Leon" with a small cut oozing green blood on his neck.]]

* BittersweetEnding: Barry finds Leon and both of them survive with Lucia. [[spoiler: Except for the fact that Leon might actually be the parasite B.O.W.]]
* BoomHeadshot: What happens if you manage to hit the small dark purple area in combat mode.
* BoringButPractical: The higher a weapon's power, the less accurate it is, so the pistol tends to be pretty effective even a bit later in the games.

* CanonDiscontinuity: The events of this game seem to be pretty much ignored by Capcom. [[spoiler: Leon at the end of the game being the parasite B.O.W. in disguise]] is never brought up again and [[{{Rewrite}} rewritten]] out of the series.

** This isn't the first time Barry [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil has been a mole for Umbrella while still remaining fairly innocent.]]]]

* CruelTwistEnding: [[spoiler: Implying that "Leon" may actually be the parasite B.O.W.]]

* FakeDefector: [[spoiler: Barry pretends to turn on Leon and Lucia so he can infiltrate Umbrella.]]

* GaidenGame: It's even in the title.

* HealingPotion: A staple of the series, but in this game, they come already mashed up and in green, yellow and red (light, medium and large healing respectively) as well as blue and purple for poison.

* KillAndReplace: [[spoiler: At the end of the game, it's implied that the parasite B.O.W. managed to successfully do this with Leon.]]

%% * MysteriousWaif: Lucia.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: The escaped B.O.W. does this when it's first defeated.
* NonLethalKO: Occasionally after defeating a zombie, they'll fall to the ground, but if you pass them again they'll still be alive and jump you, forcing you into combat again.

* ADayInTheLimelight: For Barry, one of the side characters from the original ''Resident Evil''.

* [[FirstPersonShooter First]][=/=]ThirdPersonShooter: A hybrid much like the ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilGunSurvivor Gun Survivor]]'' series. You navigate in third person but enter first person mode when fighting enemies.

* [[HealingPotion Healing Herbs]]: A staple of the series, but in this game, they come already mashed up and in green, yellow and red (light, medium and large healing respectively) as well as blue and purple for poison.

* MysteriousWaif: Lucia.

'''''Resident Evil Gaiden''''' is a portable installment in the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series released for the GameBoyColor in 2002.

After the events of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'', Barry Burton and Leon Kennedy joined a secret anti-Umbrella organisation, comprised of former S.T.A.R.S. members and ex-Umbrella employees and set on putting a stop to the operations of the evil medical corporation.

The game starts with the escape of a shape-shifting Bio-Organic Weapon developed at Umbrella Labs. Leon managed to track it as far as the ocean cruiser The Starlight before contact with him was lost. Now Barry must board the ship to find him, as well as figure out the mystery of a young girl he finds aboard.

The game itself is an overhead adventure game where the player controls a party of up to three characters (Barry, Leon and Lucia), switching between them at any time. Battles occur when the player character runs into a monster, in which the game switches to a first-person view and must align their aiming gauge to where the monster is centered.

* GhostShip: Everyone on The Starlight sans the main characters have been completely zombified.

* [[HealingPotion Healing Herbs]]: A staple of the series, but in this game they come already mashed up and in green, yellow and red (light, medium and large healing respectively) as well as blue and purple for poison.

* KillAndReplace: [[spoiler: At the end of the game it's implied that the parasite B.O.W. managed to successfully do this with Leon.]]

* NonLethalKO: Occasionally after defeating a zombie they'll fall to the ground, but if you pass them again they'll still be alive and jump you, forcing you into combat again.

* SendInTheSearchTeam: Partly the reason why Barry goes to The Starlight is to find Leon, who's lost contact with HQ. Turns out he fell down a hole in the ship and was knocked out for 24 hours.
* SpotTheImposter: The parasite B.O.W. impersonates Lucia during the game. It's found out when Lucia cuts her hand and shows her normal coloured blood.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The escaped and parasite B.O.W.'s are able to shapeshift into human beings. Unluckily for them Lucia is able to see right through the deception.

The sixth game in the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series, released for the Game Boy Color. Unlike the rest of the series it was developed by M4 Limited rather than {{Capcom}}.

The gameplay mechanics are similar to that of the ''ResidentEvilGunSurvivor'' series, with the game being in third person while changing to first person for shooting zombies. Also similar to the ''Survivor'' series is that it's widely considered to be one of the lesser points in the series, and is often regarded as non-canon by fans and the creators alike. On the other hand its puzzles and story have been praised by some critics.

After the events of ''Resident Evil 1'' and ''2'', Barry Burton and Leon Kennedy joined a secret anti-Umbrella organisation, compromised of former S.T.A.R.S. members and ex-Umbrella employees and set on putting a stop to the operations of the evil medical corporation.
