Apparently, Capcom is releasing a new Resident Evil title for the Nintendo 3DS that will have a non-resettable save game function. They're claiming that it should be a non-issue for gamers, but I believe that gamers everywhere need to take a stand and let game publishers know how they feel about this by boycotting this game to it's death! I'd love to see this game come out and have absolutely no sales at all. I truly doubt that will happen though simply because there are those out there who don't care about the future of gaming, only what they can get their hands on at the moment. Apparently the whole point behind this is to try and squash the re-sale of used video games.
If this game sells well with this kind of limiting technology built into it, what's to stop game publishers from doing this with every game they make...then when you want to replay an old favorite that you've already beaten (and all real gamers do this many times) you won't be able to start a new game and replay it. I guess they just expect you to go out and buy another brand new copy, increasing their profits at your expense.
So do everyone a favor and don't buy this game, "Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D"
