Why did Capcom think making a full title out of horde-mode mini-games was a good idea? Ben checks to see if they spruced it up enough to warrant a full game. Should you buy, rent, or F' it?

"Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D" is for Nintendo 3DS

It doesn't seem, Capcom are trying to cash grab everyone with the minimal effort, wich is made easier by blind or uninformed fanboys, see good thing this review mentionned how lackluster the demo is because people tend to buy a game they don't even want just for a demo or a beta. Besides that Capcom as hordes of zealous fanboys to ''protect''' them.

I'm curious to hear Craig's take on this game, as it is for a portable it only being a "mini game" shouldn't factor into being a minus for it.  I have had no issues with the controls and I'm new to playing any RE game, the zombie/infected things AI is sucky but when they are a bunch coming at you and you have little ammo it's almost needed (at least for me).  I do agree that it should be cheaper than 40 dollars but for being a handheld arcade esque shooter it's great the only glaring thing I have against it is that full 40 dollars.

well to be honest it looked like Advanced Wars with a little bit of 3D. The fact that said it was ghost recon but wasn't a 3rd person shooter put me off a bit.

and I also suck at strategy games.

Don't do such a rash decision, don't waste your money because Nintendo didn't wait for a good line-up and therefore encourage Capcom's lazzy attempt. Just wait until Dylan Toomey portable comes out or DJ Rape Master.

I also wikipedia'd hunk

Hunk may refer to:

  • A slang term for a sexually appealing man, a person who is sexually attractive or a well-muscled, sexualized man, as in beefcake.

Yeah, Hunk is just his codename, I don't know if he's sexually appealing, I haven't seen him without his gas mask on.

Hunk is still in newer games because he was a cameo in 4, and 5, but he has a main part in RE: Revelations.

Indeed that and they didn't make any effort to warrant a full handheld tag price. Hunk will forgive you if you don't buy it.

And so it wasn't after a while and now Capcom is 40$ closer to world domination. In less then five minutes we will reach Vader's death star and your 40$ will be released into the atmosphere, ensuring complete global, Capcomation.

I could go with either one, as long as that meant capcom had enough money to keep their DLC under financial control

And aren't we all getting tired of shooting endless hordes of zombies by now? 3D is the only thing original about this game. If it wasn't for the fact that the 3DS has such a limited catalog of games I don't think they would have made this game.
