15th Anniversary Resident Evil Boxed Set Planned for Japan

Posted on Friday, July 8 @ 11:17:25 Eastern by

Hope this isn’t Chris’ blood. – Barry Burton

Resident Evil
. It’s the reason I bought a PSOne. I’m sure many people can say the same. When I first
turned that corner to be greeted with a FMV cutscene of that Zombie feasting on flesh, I was sold for
life.

Granted the series hasn’t been as strong as it always was (although, I personally loved RE5), it’s easy to
remember those good ol’ days. And if you’re living in Japan, Capcom is making it very easy for you to
revisit those past titles that made the survival horror franchise what it is today.

As part of the Resident Evil 15th Anniversary celebration, Capcom is releasing a special boxed set
containing almost every main entry in the Resident Evil franchise ever released (or Biohazard, as it’s
known in Japan).

The set contains the following:
  • Resident Evil Director's Cut (PSX)
  • Resident Evil 2 (PSX)
  • Resident Evil 3 Last Escape (PSX)
  • Resident Evil Revival Selection (PS3)
  • Resident Evil Code: Veronica soundtrack
  • Resident Evil 4 soundtrack
  • 15th anniversary items: Pins & Stickers (STARS & Umbrella)
  • Spacer
Resident Evil Revival Selection contains remastered versions of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code
Veronica
. That “Spacer” is there so you can add your copy of Resident Evil 5 or RE5: Gold Edition to the
set. Kinda lame – why they didn’t just add the now budget title is beyond me.

Regardless, this is one badass set for long-time fans of the series and it will set you back less then $100
(¥7,800). Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m off to fix me a Jill sandwich.

    I keep wishing for a complete HD remake for 360/ps3. Guess i'll just have to keep replaying my GC versions.

    I dislike games that are exclusive to certain consoles. There really is no other reason other than stubbornness to not make the games accessible to all gaming platforms...maybe arrogance.

    making a better optimised game, and money incesntives/publishing not good enough reasons?

    If there REALLY wasnt any good reasons than every game would be mulitplat, which would also make having multiple consoles on the market pointless.

    Jumping from one exclusive platform to the other doesn't necessarily mean a better optimised game IMO like when the remake/re-releases all headed over to the Gamecube. Mass Effect was exclusive to the 360, fair enough. Given the success and broadening the horizon of success, Mass Effect 2 jumped to various platforms.

    Resident Evil touched multiple platforms during its run, so I just found it odd that the box set was completely exclusive to PS3 users. I do realize this is where the Evil series took off for consoles in North America, so at the most I would figure they'd release a PS3 edition with an exclusive item but then to perhaps release a different exclusive for the PC, 360 and so on.

    I'll never go back to the PS1 Resident Evil after playing the GameCube remake.
