If the mostly positive talk (we'll have a Quick Look up tomorrow) about Resident Evil: Revelations has you considering the series’ debut on 3DS but price is an obstacle, maybe Capcom has worked out a solution.
The company announced this afternoon that Resident Evil: Revelations retail price would be dropping from $49.99, which is more expensive than most games you’d regularly buy for a 3DS, to $39.99--a $10 cut.
“Since the announcement of the $49.99 price point, we've spent weeks looking for a way to bring your cost down to standard 3DS pricing,” said community manager Bret Elston. “Today we can finally confirm we were successful in this, and hope the reduced price encourages even more people to check out this strong entry in the Resident Evil canon.”
It’s unclear what hurdles Capcom lept over in order to bring the price down $10, but for the price sensitive consumer, it doesn’t really matter. At the end of the day, the next Resident Evil is cheaper to buy on February 7.
Great
Spent weeks? You mean, lower the price without your investors or Board Of Important People losing their shit?
Prudent

Right. Sure.
You know, Crapcom, I'd have a lot more respect for you if you just said "We're sorry, we got greedy and fucked up and are trying to make it right. And we promise never to do that or save files you cannot delete ever again." But that require you to not be disingenuous fucks.

....and there are the savings in technicolor!
@CaLe: Oh I see....that's how the lowered the cost. The skimped on the proof reading.
"Pulling a Capcom."
Gentlemen...
There you go Capcom. Now please don't make Ultra Street Fighter X Tekken, and get Mega Man Legends 3 back in development and we should be good.
This isn't RE debut on the 3DS. . . or does Mercenaries not count?
@dcfox: I was going to say the same thing; I guess Mercenaries was technically pulled from a previous RE game, so it's not really a debut, except it was the first RE on 3DS and AHHH MY HEAD SPLODED
Why is everything coming out on February 7th? Any of these games could have owned January. Publishers are stupid.
I was already going to pick it up after playing the demo (it plays okay but by god is it beautiful), so grabbing it for the standard $40 re-affirms that decision.
Awesome! I already wanted this, and this makes it much more enticing.
Fantastic, right in the I'll-actually-buy-it range. Really liked the demo, but I'm not willing to shell out any more than $40 for a 3DS game
