Will this effect the future of Biohazard for
Gamecube???

The latest sales data show that Capcom's highly anticipated remake of Biohazard was unable to meet the sales expectation, the game has only sold around 104,000 units in Japan in the first weekend. In the same week, Sega sold over 216,000 units of Sakura Taisen 4: Maidens fall in Love for Dreamcast, and Bandai has sold 246,000 units of One Piece Grand Battle II for PlayStation. Capcom's medieval adventure game Onimusha 2 has sold over 850,000 units to date in Japan.

Well this is evidence that it doesn't pay to try and rewrite history. They should've just let it alone and focused on Biohazard Zero.

Capcom had a huge expectation with this flagship GAME like Onimusha 2 !!!!

Very few people own a Gamecube and the game doesn't have enough appeal any more to sell systems. Most people would rather see a new RE game than a remake, no matter how much is changed.

While I do think the remake of RE is cool, I still believe it was a waste of resources. Any true RE fan has played RE1 and me, having played the first one, has no incentive to buy a Gamecube just for a arranged mode.

I don't know, but this game is THE hardest BH games I've ever played. Clearing the game with just the knife is not easy in this one.
