Resident Evil 5 Launch Party!
To celebrate the release of Resident Evil 5 on Friday, March 13th, Capcom and our friends at GameStop are throwing a launch party! On the eve of the launch, Thursday the 12th, meet us at Union Square in San Francisco to usher in Resident Evil 5. The event kicks off at 8pm and ends at midnight when you will be able to pick up your game- in-between we’ll have plenty going on to keep you busy. For starters, there will be a whole tent dedicated to the game where tons of kiosks will be set up and players will get a chance to get their hands on the game before grabbing it at midnight. You’ll also have the chance to win prizes and giveaways, meet the development team including co-producers, Takeuchi-san and Kawata-san and hang out with the motion capture/voice actors that played Chris, Sheva and Josh. To top it all off there will be new game announcements, stage shows, and Resident Evil activities all through out the night.
In order to guarantee you get the game at midnight, please stop by the Powell Street GameStop before the party to get your game transaction processed. You will need to get your proof of purchase wrist band and receipt for the GameStop store in order to pick-up your game at the party.
Also make sure to get there early as there will be limited space and we want to make sure you all get to enjoy the party!
Just to re-cap the details: be at Union Square in San Francisco by 8:00pm. I highly recommend getting there EARLY. We’ll party until midnight, then you can get your copy of the game with proof of purchase at the Powell St. GameStop. See you there!

So they're gonna announce it while selling off RE5? I has a feeling this could be totally off, like.... no where near RE4 controls and something entirely different. Not Umbrella Chronicles either. But "YEAH FUCKING RESIDENT EVIL 5 AND OH HERE'S .......CODE VERONICA FOR WII...." seems really bizarre. But, and this is a huge butt. Imagine an announcement where Capcom says "This time next year, you'll be playing Resident Evil 5... on Wii" *video of new controls and showing how good (bad?) they did in preserving the original graphics* Chop Till You Suck seems like testing ground to me for translating a 360 game to Wii because Capcom... likes money.
It just all fits so well. But i'm prepared to eat my words. Sigh.
