All Articles: Resident Evil 0
New Releases: Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Resident Evil Origins, Life Is Strange, More
It’s been a few weeks, but welcome to the first roundup of new retail game releases for 2016!
We start off the year with Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, a new RPG for the 3DS from the Nintendo. After years of keeping them separate, the publisher has finally decided to merge their Mario & Luigi series of RPGs with the Paper Mario series of RPGs. I’m a bit surprised it took this long, but maybe Nintendo felt they needed more time to prepare the world for GIANT PAPERCRAFT BATTLES.
Also available this week is the Resident Evil Origins Collection for the PS4 and Xbox One. After redoing Resident Evil last year, Capcom turned their trained recreationists towards its prequel, Resident Evil 0, which had previously only been available on Nintendo platforms. The publisher packaged both games together for a retail release, but players can also acquire them as separate downloads through the PlayStation Store and Xbox Games Store (and Steam, for that matter).
Moving from remakes to re-releases, Dontnod has compiled their episodic game series, Life Is Strange, into a retail package for the PS4 and Xbox One. Players who missed out on Max Caulfield’s time-traveling adventures in Arcadia Bay will now be able to experience the complete story without waiting weeks between episodes. Also this week, PQube will re-release the Vita version of SteinsGate in a “Limited Edition” that includes a 2016 calendar.
Finally, get on the bus (and drive it) this week with Astragon’s Bus Simulator 16 for the PC.

Capcom releases new trailer and screenshots for Resident Evil 0
We already know that Resident Evil 0 will live again on the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One in early 2016. But yesterday, Capcom unveiled the first trailer for the remastered version of the game, which will include a display toggle featuring the classic 4:3 presentation or a more modern 16:9 widescreen presentation. Upgraded high definition visuals, improved sound, and an option new control scheme will also be included.
Capcom plans to bring a playable demo of Resident Evil 0 to this year’s E3 Expo and a batch of new screenshots have been uploaded to the Capcom-Unity blog.
Capcom will release a remake of Resident Evil 0 in early 2016
After selling more than one million copies of the Resident Evil remake earlier this year, Capcom is dipping a little deeper into the franchise’s back catalog for their next Resident Evil re-release.
Resident Evil 0 was originally released for the GameCube in 2002 and it has only been re-released once (for the Wii in 2009), which makes it rather unique among other entries in the franchise. That will all change early next year as Capcom plans to release a remastered version of Resident Evil 0 for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
The remake will be in good hands as Several members of the original Resident Evil 0 development team, including Director Koji Oda, will be working to bring it to current-generation and previous-generation consoles.
For now, that’s all we know, though Capcom has promised to reveal more information about the Resident Evil 0 remake “in the coming weeks.”
