Two CDs on one 64MB cartridge? Madness!
The Resident Evil series may be most closely associated with Sony hardware, but it's important to remember that it has been a platform agnostic franchise since the first entry, which, lest we forget, also made it onto the Sega Saturn. Since then, we've seen notable Nintendo instalments such as Resident Evil 4,...
News A Resident Evil 2 Remake Has Been Confirmed

It's with some hesitation that we're sharing the happy news that a Resident Evil 2 Remake has, after much demand, been confirmed.

News We'd Probably Buy This Fan-Made Resident Evil 2 Remake
Uses Unreal Engine 3
Just recently Capcom released a new HD version of Resident Evil - that's a HD port of a port, for the record - that annoyingly skipped Wii U. That first game is wheeled out regularly, yet its arguably superior sequel - surprisingly called Resident Evil 2 - isn't shown quite the same love. We're big fans of this one, and recall...

I still find it curious that the GameCube version doesn't look much better according to reviews. Still need to get this game, but the price for the GameCube version is so high that I think I will just get the PC version. Or maybe the Wii version if they decided to remake it.
If I'm not mistaken, the N64 version has slight graphical improvements over the PSX while the GCN version is a straight port of the PSX version. I'm a big fan of the EX Files that are included in the N64 version, too.
