| I finally got my copy of Archives I about a month ago. I bought it off of amazon and the total cost with shipping was $120. That was my second time trying to buy it off amazon...the first time I spent $80 and it never showed up. I got my money back though  . A while ago I actually saw 2 copies on amazon listed for $1999.99, no joke. That's ridiculous. Oh and quick question...does anyone know exactly how many English versions of Archives I there are floating around out there? It was a limited thing wasn't it? Or at least published for a very short time? Geezz...I haven't posted on this forum in forever lol. I need to start getting back online cause I love this place  |

| I do wonder why they want to keep it as a limited edition as they're not getting a single penny from the used sales. They'd make a ton of money if they actually made a new print and corrected the mistakes and typos. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Steam Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link] |

| Who knows why...lol I would just be sad if they re-released it because I just spent $120 on a copy. If they did re-release it they would have a chance to fix some typos, such as how it says "Resident Evil Zero" over all the concept art in the book.
I could see them releasing a refurbished model. If the sad day ever comes where Capcom decides to end the series I'm certain there will be a book released that sums up everything in the series. |

Something like "The Encyclopedia of Resident Evil"? That would be nice. I'm sure there will be at least one more Archives book before that happens, though.
Oh, and even if they did make a new print you'd still have one from the first print. That'd still keep it collectible _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Steam Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link] |

| I liked the addition of the Chronicles games, it's good that they include the canon games. They two are not exclusive to Wii anymore either.
You're also forgetting Revelations. We already have three prominent titles to have featured in the next Archives, those being RE6, Revelations and Damnation. Maybe even Downfall as the fourth one, if that turns out to be true.
I do wonder if they're ever gonna feature any of the Survivor games in the Archives books. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Steam Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link] |

| Are the chronicles games actually any good? I've just seen trailers, and limited gameplay. I haven't actually played it myself. Arn't you just led around and made to point and shoot with your Wii controller? Sorry lol, I just have a thing against Wii. What other systems are they available on? Cause if it's on Xbox kinect I'm all in haha. And yeah I forgot about revelations, that's another one I have on my list. I don't have a 3DS but I've heard you can mod the games to fit in a regular DSi. I'm gonna wait until it gets cheaper before I potentially ruin a game though. | Mass Distraction wrote: | | I do wonder if they're ever gonna feature any of the Survivor games in the Archives books. |
I know right? I love the Survivor games, and was really surprised they weren't included in Archives I. |

They're on Wii and PS3. Since I don't have Wii I've only been playing with my PS3 controller. I have both downloaded from PSN but I've only played Umbrella Chronicles, only need to finish the final boss. So far I've liked the games, they're your regular on-rail shooters but with RE. Haven't played any of those since Die Hard on PS.
Btw. I've never heard you could do that with 3DS games. I don't even think it's possible because the DSi doesn't have enough power in it to run games like Revelations. Also the screen resolution might become a problem._________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Steam Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link] |

I talked to a guy who runs a retro game store near where I live. He was telling me that the DSi has no problems running 3DS games. If you look at a 3DS game cartridge you will notice a little nob at the top, a little piece of plastic. Apparently the entire reason why that nob is there is to force people to buy a 3DS so they can't just play the games on their other DS systems. The cartridge just won't fit with that nob there so you just cut it off, there are no important components there. I haven't tried any of this yet, but I trust his judgement, and knowledge of game systems. He also said he has a friend that does that with a bunch of 3DS games.
Perhaps I'll buy a cheap $5.00CDN game and try it out. That way I can let you guys know. |

. They probably have some sort of licensing or publishing agreement with Brady Games. They also probably want to keep it as a limited edition thing.
