Revelations producer on possible Resident Evil reboot, future, 3DS sales

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

One day in the future, Capcom’s legendary Resident Evil series could see a reboot.

Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata commented on the possibility of changes following Resident Evil 6’s mixed reception, and specifically commented on the suggestion of a more open-world approach in a Eurogamer interview:

“If we did [go with an open-world], we would want to preserve what Resident Evil is and what makes it appealing to fans, while also making it accessible to new players. It would almost entail having a slight reboot to get the series into a place where it would work with open-world gameplay. That’s just a personal opinion. A lot of decisions would have to be taken before something like that is done to the series, but it is something that… There is a possibility.”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

Never before has a portable system achieved the same kind of Internet-connection rate success as the 3DS. According to Satoru Iwata, over 80 percent of system owners in Japan and the US have ventured online. At one point in 2012, the rate was only hovering at around 60 percent.

The 3DS is also seeing success when it comes to StreetPass – well, in Japan and Europe. Gamers in Japan continue to use the social element, and Iwata says that it has started “gradually become popular in the metropolitan areas of European countries.” In order to increase StreetPass’ appeal, Nintendo will introduce new features this year.
