While 3DS owners are patiently awaiting the arrival of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D to release, iOS owners are able to take it to the horde of Las Plagas with Capcom's newest iOS game, Resident Evil Mercenaries VS. The game boasts online play via Wi-Fi, a first for Capcom, as well as local play through Bluetooth for up to 2 v 2 team play.Single-player training and a Coin Shooting mode are also available, providing a hefty package for its initial $2.99 price-tag. Yes, we said "initial", because sometime in the future Mercenaries VS will cost its regular price, which, has not been confirmed yet.
There are three characters to choose from: Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker, all of which sport their own unique loadouts. As of now there are only three maps to play on, but considering Capcom's track record with their other iOS title, Street Fighter IV and its plentiful updates, we hope more content comes in the future.
"Resident Evil Mercenaries VS. will only run on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4th, iPod touch 3rd 16GB and 32GB, or better. NOT COMPATIBLE to iPhone 3G, iPod touch 1st, 2nd, 3rd 8GB."
