Unreleased Resident Evil for GBC
« on: October 12, 2012, 07:09:13 AM »
Dude, you guys have to check this out.
A bit of old hat, but i discovered an unreleased Resident Evil Gameboy Color game.
Aparently Capcom wasn't satisfied with it (when are they?) and had it scrapped around 90% completion.
There are two builds of it and they play pretty close to the original for such limited tech as the GBC.
This blows the NES unlicensed/hack version out of the water.

Obviously i can't link the roms, but if you do a search for "Unreleased Resident Evil Gameboy Color rom download", you'll find the place about 8 clicks down.
Or, just private message me and i'll share them with you.

Pretty amazing stuff...
Shame on Capcom for scrapping so many good titles:
This Resident Evil Gameboy Color conversion, Resident Evil 1.5 and Megaman Legends 3...
Just a few that i know of...

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot this existed and never got around to trying it. Gonna put this on my "to play" list when I get my GCW-0!
I play games on: Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, GBA SP, NDS Phat, NeoGeo Pocket Color, Panasonic 3DO, Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Nomad, Sega CDX w/Power Base Converter, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, PC, EGP1000, Dingoo A330, LetCool N350JP, and (soon) GCW-Zero SE.

Funnily enough I just rewatched a video of this the other day, remember thinking it was pretty cool when I first saw it. The GBC also got a port of Alone in the Dark which was surprisingly good, I have that stashed away somewhere in the original box. Bought it woth a boxed version of Street Fighter Alpha on GBC on eBay for 99p start bid!
 Looks very playable tbh, certainly looks better that RE Gaiden.
Handhelds:
JXD S7300b, Dingoo, DS Lite, GBA SP, PSP, HTC One X, HTC Dream.
Netbooks/Palmtops:
Acer 522 (4gb ram) Radeon 6310 - MSI Wind U230 (4gb ram and DTV card installed)
Psion Series 5 and 5mx, Psion Series 3 and Psion Siena

Yeah, how or why Capcom would prefer RE Gaiden to this RE GBC port is beyond me.

Nice on the game finds too.
