According to Gamestop, this preoder bonus is a protective casing for the 3DS that changes in the sunlight.

*EDIT!!* Im sorry folks, made a mistake for the Europe release date, it is January the 27th, not Feburary :P

the artwork is kinda strange dosen't have a resident evil feel. but anyway i'm looking forward to this game.

Nevermind found some info that story takes place between 4 and 5

Also, release for Europe!

Jan 27th, 2012

*edit* fixed release date

3DS sucks its region locked...

woops, made a mistake with the European release date, it is now fixed.

3DS sucks its region locked...

Really? Sure region locking sucks, but where do you live?

RE:R is coming out on Feburary 7th 2012 and is coming out about a week earlier in Europe. Janurary 27th 2012. Im not sure but I read somewhere that it will be coming out on the 27 of Jan for Austrailia aswell.

I can't wait to play this, it looks like Resident Evil may be taking a step back into the realm of survival horror, the game definately looks far more atmospheric and scary than either Resident Evil 4 or Resident Evil 5.

Holy crap that is some awful boxart. Just ugly.

I do believe he meant Resident Evil Revelations: Gold Edition :P

Or perhaps we'll see Resident EVil Revelations: Wii-U Edition :o

Hoping this game is good. It doesn't look bad so far.

The boxart is cool too. Way better than the Mercenaries.

With all of Capcom's fighting games, they do updates to them and resell them under a new name. Recently, MvC3 got an update and is now being marketed as Ultimate MvC3.

It was pretty much a play on their marketing strategy.

Not crazy about the box art, but it being released in February gives me time to get a 3DS for Christmas. :)

I like the box art. :P

"We have nearly 200 million next gen consoles users and consumers that we can produce a multiplatform game for if we release it on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii, or we can keep it at current gen standards and have it for the PS3 and Xbox 360, with a combined userbase of over 100 million, and we sold about 7 million copies of RE5 on both consoles so we should do just as good if we decide to make another Resident Evil game" "No I think we should make a 3DS game, polls show 90% of Japanese gamers prefer handheld games" "what about our foreign markets" "screw the foreign markets, make the 3DS game" "but..." "but nothing your fired, now be shamed and fired or restore your honor by seppuku" "...nah, I'll just go work at Platinum Games" "well fine then but you won't be credited in any of the remakes of the games you originally worked on"
