DS Resident Evil

According to several sources, Capcom is apparently working on a Resident Evil game for the lovely DS handheld.

New Screenshots

Good ‘ol GamePro has posted some new screens of the following GC games. Check them out: Super Mario Strikers Kirby I think Mario Strikers, as all other Mario sports games, should be pretty entertaining. Not too sure about Kirby though, but alas, the pink round ball never really had my support.

While this is encouraging to assume the Rev has no where to go but up, only time will tell. If Nintendo’s new console name is what it implies, the below chart should look silly in a shor...
