The Canceled Resident Evil Games You Never Got to Play

In celebration of Resident Evil’s 30th anniversary, we’re looking back on the survival horror games that never escaped Capcom’s walls. The stories of a culled sequel, a struggling Game Boy port, the prequel designed for a failed Nintendo 64 peripheral, and the many, many canceled versions of Resident Evil 4.

Resident Evil has often punched above its weight, but ambitious attempts to put the survival horror series on Nintendo’s Game Boy and N64DD led to two famously canceled projects. Meanwhile, on the PS1, before Capcom finally created Leon and Claire’s nightmare in the RPD, Resident Evil 2 was a very different game. We take a look at Hideki Kamiya’s canceled Resident Evil "1.5" prototype.
