I won't post a review on a game I haven't bothered to finish, but the short and quick is that unless you were really fond of the Mercenaries extra game mode in RE5 or are desperate to play anything RE related in 3D on your 3DS immediately, save your $40 for RE: Revelations.

While Mercenaries isn't a carbon copy of the Mercenaries mode in RE5, it's essentially the same experience, only portable and with the obligatory 3D mode.

Not worth $40 to me, seeing as how I never bothered to play through RE5 Mercenaries mode, but I'm sure the value is there for whoever really likes doing scored speed runs in RE games.

Yeah, I'm gonna grab this game today. I don't have any willpower. I'm in love with the 3DS and I want a game to show me what it can do, graphically. Since I got my 3DS on Saturday, I've ordered Chrono Trigger DS (it came on Wednesday--haven't even played it, yet), started playing Advance Wars, again, and spent the better part of a week playing Zelda. I'm pretty sure I'm getting this game and SSF4, today. I don't even like the Mercenaries mode. I barely played them in any of the real RE games except Code VEronica because Claire looked so hot in that mini-skirt. I just hope the RE: Revelations demo is good.

I don't even think I'm going to like the game but, because it's on the 3DS, it bares the RE name, and there isn't much to choose from, I'm going to blow $40. Forgive me, father.

Oh, you have to get SSFIV, even if you've already played it on console. It really is a great portable port, even without 3D turned on.

And hate to rain on your parade, but the RE: Revelations demo is ridiculously short. You can seriously run through it in less than 5 minutes. If you're buying Mercenaries, don't do it for the demo.

On the plus side, the demo and Mercenaries does showcase the 3DS game engine and I have to be honest; it does look great for a portable system.

Well....fuck.

"The game save file in Mercenaries is little more than a Top Score list in an arcade style game."

That doesn't matter. The fact that the save does it AT ALL is our problem. You're excuse just seems like a company spin, and just opens the room for trying to tweak reasons for screwing other kinds of saves.

Good to see consumer whores still defending this game.

""Guys its ok! Capcom have every right to bone you! You baka gaijins should be grateful the great nippon company give you anything!""

lol damn, I will say its a fun game in the end and replaying levels for higher scores is fun.
