Capcom knocks select iOS games down to $0.99
Capcom has a sale running on four of its iOS titles. The discounted list includes Street Fighter 4, Resident Evil Mercenaries Vs, Dead Rising Mobile and Devil May Cry 4 Refrain. If you've been waiting to pick any of these up, you can snag them now for just $0.99 each.
Resident Evil Mercenaries VS. enters the iOS arena
If Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D isn't bite-size enough for you (or available enough for you), you can have an even smaller Mercenaries experience right now on your iPhone. Capcom has launched the iOS game Resident Evil Mercenaries VS., which streamlines the experience so much it even drops "The" from the title. Mercenaries VS. features three playable characters (Chris, Jill, and Wesker), three maps, and multiplayer support for up to four players through Bluetooth or wi-fi. Capcom is touting it as the company's "first online multi play iPhone / iPod touch title." It's on sale now for $2.99, though no end date for the sale is provided, nor is any indication of the regular price. It's more than $2.99, at least.
Resident Evil Mercenaries Vs. gets competitive on iPhone
The 3DS isn't the only handheld on which you'll be able to play a game based on Resident Evil's Mercenaries mode. During a Capcom Mobile event, Touch Arcade got a look at Resident Evil Mercenaries Vs., a multiplayer-focused game for iOS. Up to four players, alone or in teams, compete to earn points by shooting one another, while also dealing with roaming zombies. Players in trouble can summon AI helpers "like the creepy chainsaw guy with the burlap sack on his head from Resident Evil 4." Players can choose to play online or locally via Bluetooth. TouchArcade noted some issues in the early version, including a "horribly laggy experience" in local multiplayer, and a disappointingly small character selection. You can see the current pre-release version in action after the break.
