"Resident Evil to be GameCube exclusive"

Wow!

At a press conference in Japan, Capcom and Nintendo came together to reveal the future of the brilliant survival horror series.The entire series will become exclusive to GameCube.

The first title will be a remake of Resident Evil 1. Next will be an all new game, tentatively titled Resident Evil Zero. Then Resident Evils 2, 3, 4 and Code Veronica will follow.

The GameCube is going to be zombie-tastic!Capcom explained in great depth why the company has chosen to go with the GameCube. It wants players to only have to buy one system to play the series and also likes the GameCube hardware. Capcom also stated that Nintendo's third-party relationships were very good.

Miyamoto was quick to praise the series saying that Capcom had created a genre with Resident Evil. Decapitation is quite a turnaround for a company that up until recently would not allow red blood to be displayed in its games.

This is also a great victory for Nintendo. The Resident Evil series is massive and boasts a colossal and loyal global fanbase. While Microsoft is trying desperately to sign up exclusive deals of any magnitude, Nintendo snatches the entire Resident Evil series.

We are sure that Sony will not be overly impressed with the news.The first Resident Evil title for GameCube will be hitting the shelves of Japan on March 22 of next year with all other games from the series to follow throughout 2002.

........Can this be true?

If there's one thing I've learned from the PS2 it's to NEVER EVER EVER buy at launch, nothing to do with the shortage of consoles but the price will drop and the games wil arrive much later, so I'm gona wait till res zero is released.

two days ago, buying a Gamecube wasn't in my plans at all...

But now, well, I'm definetley considering it.

I'll think I'll wait and see how things pan out first though...

They might be "kiddie" in graphics, but in gameplay, they're just as mature as any PS2 game.

They've got all the skill and gameplay of a mature game but are lighthearted too. These games are what you get 4 pads for.

You might prefer the more "serious" games such as Resident Evil, but that's another great thing about the Gamecube:

You get the full range!

"Super monkey ball, Super smash brothers"

Sounds a bit too "kiddy" for me...

I havnt actually pre-ordered my GC yet. I'm gonna wait until the launch games for the UK are confirmed. I wanna get a package deal with two pads,memory card and at least two games. Most likely to get Super monkey ball, Super smash brothers and possibly Waverace.

lets all unite and buy a gamecube and put mr Gates in his place..

(?!)

I've looked at the new Resi screens and I am *holds finger and thumb millimetres apart* this close to pre-ordering a 'cube from SR.

I wanted to remain loyal to Nintendo, But as the N64 is dead i needed a new console. Gamecube seemed like an a eternity away, so i bought a PS2. It ended all the stupid console war things i used to get into here, and i also got somthin to play my DVDs on :-)

I thought the GAmecube sales would have been boosted by the REsi announcement.

Well 3 games is better than the N64 launch. It was just mario at launch wasnt it.

I wasn't really consideing buying a gamecube

I would of liked to remain "loyal" to the PS2,

but in reality if you want the best games your going to have to own at leat two of the next gen consoles

how much are they going to be anyway?
