Does the gameplay of 1983\u2019s Popeye<\/i> on the NES appeal to you, but you just can\u2019t get behind the beloved golden age license attached to it? What\u2019s wrong with you? Where did you leave your soul? If that\u2019s the case, the Resident Evil 3: Chibi Edition<\/i> might be for you.<\/p>
Created by a super-team of modders, Protopixel and Crying Onion, Resident Evil 3: Chibi Edition<\/i> gives the NES arcade port a full Resident Evil <\/i>make-over.<\/i> Players now control Jill Valentine as they avoid the persistent Nemesis T-Type. Leon \u201cSoccerJock\u201d Kennedy fills in for Olive Oyl to offer assitance, and Carlos Oliveira takes over as Swee\u2019Pea. Check it out in this video<\/a> via Hack Games Longplay.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> The best part of this recasting is when Jill consumes a red herb and gains the strength to clobber Nemesis. I mean, what if that was the plot of Resident Evil 3<\/i> instead? Jill should have just kept dosing herself with genetic and viral cocktails until she was a bigger monster than Nemesis and just beat the crap out of him. Gosh, I\u2019d play that.<\/p> Beyond the characters getting a make-over, the backgrounds have had their palettes tweaked to look more like Raccoon City. The music, on the other hand, is still the same music, which feels hilariously out of place.<\/p> Popeye <\/i>was already a great NES port<\/a> of a terrific arcade game. While the modders obviously made Resident Evil 3: Chibi Edition<\/i> for fun, it feels terrifically executed and great to experience. Even if you don\u2019t intend to play it<\/a>, the video in this article features a full playthrough so you can experience the whole thing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":375887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[20231,478,172,629],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":17,"display_name":"Zoey Handley","user_login":"Adzuken","user_nicename":"adzuken"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
