Jill Valentine knows what’s up: Only the most refined individual understands the elegance of the crank. Chris Redfield and his personal gun show may complain that an entire mansion is being run on the archaic device in this teaser for upcoming Resident Evil 5 DLC episode, Lost in Nightmares, but that’s because the dude doesn’t respect the crank’s noble history. We’re just glad one of the two survivalists has enough class to acknowledge the significance of history’s great gate opener.

It looks like Capcom USA was tired of us making fun of the proposed name for the upcoming Resident Evil 5 expansion, “Alternative Edition.” The division has chosen a bling-ier title for its stateside release: Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition. Gold Edition will be released as a retail box copy on March 9 for $49.99 as a single Blu-ray disc, including the original game and add-on content, on PS3 and as a DVD with download voucher for Xbox 360.

If you already have Resident Evil 5, you’ll be able to pick up the first DLC chapter earlier. “Lost in Nightmares” and a custom pack will be available for download on February 17 for Xbox 360 and February 18 for PS3, while the second unnamed DLC episode will be released March 3 (Xbox 360) and 4th (PS3) alongside a second costume pack.

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition hits retail in March, DLC in February originally appeared on Joystiq on Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:43:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

The upcoming Alternative Edition DLC for Resident Evil 5 is going to include much more than motion controller support for PS3 and the “Lost in Nightmares” flashback episode. The latest issue of Japanese mag Famitsu (via Andriasang) notes that Capcom has two additional surprises for players: new costumes and new characters for a revamped “Mercenaries Reunion” (seen above), as well as an extra, yet-to-be-revealed chapter.

All this content will be released as four separate DLC packs:

• “Lost in Nightmares” Episode – 400 ($5)
• Costume Pack 1 – 160 ($2)
• Costume Pack 2 – 160 ($2)
• Additional TBA Episode – 400 ($5)

These prices are only confirmed for Japan, but it’s unlikely the US release will be too different. Will two new campaign episodes lure you back into Resident Evil 5’s monster safari?

Wesker and his comically large hand and gun can be yours if you choose to pre-order Lost Planet 2 at GameStop, Capcom announced today. The publisher also tossed some screens our way depicting the Resident Evil antagonist with more believable body proportions — specifically, a body structure that doesn’t look like someone who was sipping Dr. Jekyll’s favorite beverage or shooting up with Chris Redfield’s “special” juice.

Well, except for this image, which makes us feel kinda weird.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Tofu Screenshots-1.052009-11-14 23:06:30Maura S

Those nice people at Capcom can’t let a horror-tastic day like Friday 13^th go by without commemorating it in some way, and today is no exception as they’re treating us to the news that the fans’ favourite Tofu mode is back as an unlockable mode in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Tofu first appeared in the spoof Tofu Survivor secret minigame in Resident Evil 2, where a large block of Tofu fights his way around a special scenario. This time around though, the tables are turned and Tofu becomes the hunted rather than the hunter. Capcom has even sent us some soya-soaked screenshots to prove it, as well as screenshots of some of the unique unlockable costumes from the game, including Mercenary Krauser, Cowboy and Biker Leon and Cowgirl and Biker Claire.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is released exclusively for the Wii™ on 17^th November.
