Needless to say, support from third parties has been few and far between for the Revolution. However, recent announcements from various companies appears to make it seem as if this was simply due to the fact that Nintendo has kept details on its system so under wraps, and companies were tentative to make their support open. Thanks to Nintendo finally becoming a little more revealing, more and more companies have begun to step out.
Capcom, the company behind the Resident Evil series, is one such company. Although tentative to say whether the popular Resident Evil games would make an appearance, it was stated that a new franchise would probably appear on the Revolution. Capcom producer Minoru Nakai was quoted as saying, “”It’s certain that the Nintendo Revolution controller is its key element, but the real question is whether the innovation within the Resident Evil series requires the usage of all of this unique controller’s functions?” he asked. “We recently redefined the series with Resident Evil 4, in which the camera is repositioned behind the hero and elevated the action and intensity of the gameplay. Even if the gameplay of Resident Evil 4 remains up to my taste, we’d clearly love to exploit the potential of the Nintendo Revolution controller to prevent players tiring of this style of gameplay.”
Capcom is just one of a few companies to begin announcing their support of the Revolution, and this news is sure to be very welcome to the ears of Nintendo fans who have long worried that the only games that would be appearing on the new Revolution system would be first party titles from Nintendo alone.
