Resident Evil 3/ Biohazard 3 was released this time 20 years ago

Around this time in Japan, one of the most intense entries in Capcom’s long running Resident Evul/ Biohazard franchise was released for the original Playstation, as “Biohazard 3: Last Escape” hit the platform and took the Survival Horror series to a whole new level. Originally conceived as a spin-off with a different character while the true follow up would have been the Dreamcast’s “Resident Evil: Code: Veronica”, what would be called “Resident Evil 3: Nemesis” in the US was turned into the next numbered sequel, with original Resident Evil heroine Jill Valentine returning as the main protagonist. This time, she would be facing a new relentless menace called “Nemesis” - a Tyrant type monster who would chase her throughout the game at any moment’s notice. The game would be released in North America on November that same year.

Set before and after the events of Resident Evil 2, RE3 was another popular entry in the franchise - and it has been ported to several platforms over the years. With the success of this year’s Resident Evil 2 Remake, fans are clamoring for a Remake to this game. Only time will tell if Capcom will indeed go through with that.

For now... HAPPY TWENTY YEARS, NEMESIS!
