So what does that mean for us gamers, besides HD home console experiences on the go? Well…ports! The handheld is definitely no slouch when it comes to sheer graphical and technical prowess, putting it ahead of its direct –and more financially successful– competitor, the 3DS, when it comes to those aspects. The Vita is a true HD handheld console, with visuals comparable to early PlayStation 3 titles. Whatever the case may be, Portable is now chillaxing with Billy, Rebecca and Barry in “God knows where, USA.” Could we see it resurface, this time on the Vita? Or should Capcom take another approach to the series, a more classic one? But before I get to my theories, let’s look at a very likely scenario for the series’ debut on Sony’s handheld. Some believe it was canned entirely, others believe it somehow ended up becoming Revelations (which is a 3DS exclusive). Portable’s fate is more mysterious than Alex Wesker’s whereabouts. Turn-based strategy? Resident Evil Acid? We’ll never know…But we do know that Capcom did have plans for the series on Sony’s very capable handheld console at one point. The game was revealed as being a different type of Resident Evil experience, with zombies making a comeback as indicated by its reveal art. Where’s the love for Sony’s handheld consoles?īack at E3 2009, we got an announcement many Resident Evil fans with PSPs were eagerly waiting for: Resident Evil Portable would be hitting Sony’s first handheld. And that’s the thing: When it comes to portable Resident Evil, Capcom has only, up until this point, supported Nintendo’s money-making handhelds (and technically iOS devices, but that’s another story). It’s even been given life on handhelds, too. Resident Evil is a franchise that’s landed on many consoles. This is how I’ll be playing these classics from now on. No, these games look as beautiful as a game from the PSone era can look today. And the games look extremely nice on it, not stretched or muddy like I feared they would when set to full-screen. Finally, Sony I can finally play these timeless horror classics on your newest handheld.

At long last, Sony had released the patch that wakes up the little guy inside the Vita that enables PSone Classics compatibility. On this night, I found myself playing these classic Resident Evil games ( Resident Evil 3, to be exact) not on my big TV, but on the Vita’s beautiful OLED screen. There are many games to play, but I always find myself going back to the classic PlayStation 1 Resident Evil games, even amidst big, triple A releases.

I’m home, after a long day at work, relaxing and enjoying some game time, making Luis proud.
