When Resident Evil: Revelations for the 3DS was announced, Capcom went ahead and slapped a 49.99 price tag on it. Claiming,  ”To handle all of that data Resident Evil Revelations requires a 4GB cartridge, resulting in a higher price point” A 2GB cart and a 4GB cart doesn’t warrant a 10 dollar price bump.

From Capcom’s Blog

“Late last year we announced the console-sized adventure that is Resident Evil Revelations would arrive on a 4GB card instead of the standard 2GB card; this increase in memory size led to an increase in price as well, raising the retail cost to $49.99. And while we’re confident in the game’s value at that price (and the reviews reflect that sentiment as well), we’re also exceedingly pleased to say that after weeks of effort, we’ve been able to lower the price to $39.99.”

“We’ve spent weeks looking for a way to bring your cost down to standard 3DS pricing. 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.”

Either way I was going to buy it. I’ve played the demo a handful of times and have to say it’s pretty great. If you’re looking to make things interesting, turn off the 3D and set the aiming to be used with the Gyroscope.
