Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D [Biohazard: The Mercenaries 3D] is the first game in series for the Nintendo 3DS, and the first original handheld entry since Biohazard Gaiden on the Game Boy Color. The Mercenaries was a minigame that originally appeared in Biohazard 3: Last Escape and was more action oriented than the main series at the time. The mode returned in Biohazard 4 and was further refined in Biohazard 5. The Mercenaries 3D provides a similar, but refined experience that is also tailored to the handheld nature of the 3DS.

- 8 playable characters
- At least 9 types of enemies
- 30 missions

- First or third person shooting

This thread got a lot of love, lol...

"At least 12 stages"
Any info on the stages or are they recycled stages from RE4 and RE5?

Nice reviews on each character, giving their strengths, and occasionally with their weaknesses too. Thanks Yama!

Cvxfreak written, just threw together the graphics. It literally was a fifteen or so minute effort on both our parts, just would feel odd not to have one!

I won't pass judgement on this thread since you felt the need to ignore Europe!

No price or date for Europe?.

The rest of the world doesn't get a release date either.

Impressions?

Well there's no European date listed, and the alternative costumes wouldn't hurt!
