Resident Evil is both awesome and a letdown. Let me try to explain. In 1999 Capcom had announced a Game Boy Color demake of the original Resident Evil. The even released ads and screenshots (below) which show what appears to be a pretty faithful and awesome port.
Unfortunately the demake was canceled with no real explanation and in 2002 there was Resident Evil Gaiden to take its place. The game is a completely original game starring Leon Kennedy from the classic Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil Gaiden doesn't quite live up to those demake screens, but it does offer something completely original and fun in its own right. The gameplay is somewhat similar to the Game Boy Color Metal Gear Solid sequel, though the fights switch to a first person view that utilizes a Real Time Strategy execution. It's completely interesting and definitely worth checking out for fans of the series or fans of 8-bit demakes.
Very cool, noise. Nice post, although I'd love to hear more about the canceled game - how much digging did you do to try and find something? Maybe some RE fan boards have some extra info?
A month ago, my guess would have been that the frame rate would have been horrendous and that is why the game was canceled. But, based on your recent post about Alone in the Dark for the GBC, I truly wonder what they may have been able to accomplish graphically with this. Oh well.
