Dreamcast in early 2000. It was then remade into CODE: Veronica Complete (CVX)

GameCube port is due in 2002.

And then there is Gun Survivor and Gun Survivor 2. Gun Survivor was released on
PlayStation, and Gun Survivor 2 was released across the Arcade and PlayStation

seek its section below.

6. RESIDENT EVIL 2 (N64)
-------------------------

This is the very first and only Resident Evil 2 to be released on Nintendo. It
had its share of exclusives, from the Violence Control, Blood Color, EX Files,
2D control, single medium, in game saving and Violence Control. Unfortunately,
it lacked in the Extreme Battle Mode. A file that was incorrect in all previous
versions is now correct.

7. RESIDENT EVIL 2 (DREAMCAST)
------------------------------

This is the very first Resident Evil 2 to be released. It was basically a port
of the Dual Shock Version. It had Character Art, and in game movies of the FMV
in the game. It also a special VMU feature, which saves time from switching to
the item screen. Unfortunately, it lacked the N64’s features.

basically the Dreamcast version, but with the Unlocked EX Battle game. It, too,

-----------------------------

It is basically Leon’s scenario compressed onto a little system with slightly
worse graphics than the GameBoy. Claire’s scenario is not included, as the
game.com failed before Claire’s scenario can be released.

11. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
------------------------------

Q: Which version is worth it?
-----------------------------
::If you only have a PSX, get the Dual Shock version. If you only have an N64,
get that version. If you only have a PC, get that version. If you have a
Dreamcast only, get that version. Try to grab the N64 or Dreamcast versions
though.

Q: What are the differences?
----------------------------
::Refer to the above for the differences.

Q: Which version has the best graphics?
---------------------------------------
::N64’s version does, so far.

Q: When is the GCN version coming out?
--------------------------------------
::In 2002.

Q: Which version will the GCN version be ported from?
-----------------------------------------------------
::That is a tough one. I think Shinji Mikami would little time). He can port it
from N64, because it has its storyline progressions (EX Files hint at RE0). He
can port it from Dreamcast, because ports between Dreamcast and GameCube are
*EASY*. Honestly, just hope it has all the DC, N64 and PC version features.

Q: Why are all these RE2 versions out?
--------------------------------------
::Money.

Q: Which version is your favorite?
----------------------------------
::The N64 and Dreamcast ports.

Q: Which is the cheapest?
-------------------------
::The Dreamcast, N64, PC and PSX versions are all lower than $20. Grab the N64
one, if you have an N64.

Q: Why won’t they remake RE2 as well as RE3 on GCN?
---------------------------------------------------
::For one thing, RE2 and RE3 are already fine. RE1 isn’t as good as it should
be, compared to CVX. Plus we’d never see RE Zero or RE4 if they remake RE2 and
RE3, which is unnecessary.

Q: I have a gameplay question.
------------------------------
::Ask away!

Q: Why is N64 version your favorite?
------------------------------------
::Because it has the best analog control, the EX Files, Blood Color, no loading
times and the Violence Control.

12. FUTURE OF RESIDENT EVIL
---------------------------

Next month, in Japan, on March 22, 2002, Capcom will release its long awaited
Resident Evil remake exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. Following that will
be ports of BioHazard 2.

After the BioHazard 2 port, BioHazard Zero will finally arrive. Then the port
of CODE: Veronica Complete will arrive, followed by the port of BioHazard 3:
Last Escape (RE3: Nemesis).

Next year, in 2003, the long awaited release of BioHazard 4 will cometh! The
next year looks great for RE and GameCube fans alike!
