25 for the bundle is perfect. Each of these games could probably sell for 15-20 alone.

I’ll probably pick this up after seeing a review of it on the steam deck.

I played resident evil 3 first and fell in love with the series. God, that wa before ps2 was out. It was so long ago.

It’s so nice to see a developer doing this rather then going the “Here’s a updated version of the game! Also we’re removing access the originals so it’s the only version available now.” route.

Colour me double-surprised! Not only is it available for purchase in Japan, but also the descriptions for the individual games even have full Japanese translations, right down to the system requirements!

This is fantastic news for such a classic series, especially since the most accessible versions have just been the remakes with their different take on the games. If anyone wants to see a preview / review of the first two ports Suzi from TheSphereHunter on YouTube has already put out a video covering it.

I tried to replay resident evil 1 on my mini PSX. It’s hard! I remember speedrunning it as a child but I kept getting munched by the first zombie
