I tried to buy the Wesker special edition when it came out. It was so cool, a Baretta, futuristic silencer real lazer site etcetera. Turns out as im in the uk I needed an actual gun licence for the airsoft (realistically impossible here). The only way around was to pay the company to have it sprayed orange. Pass.
I had no idea that there were such huge differences, between the American and Japanese versions of the Resident Evil games, the amount of content you could get with the games, also the various cool nick- nacks you get that were sperate from the games, this was very cool video to watch SorePN thanks for showing us this, you did a nice job here ✌️
I have that controller It’s handles are meant to represent a knife and a gun, it’s meant to give players the actual feel of holding 2 different weapons (kinda an easier version of CQC)
That's really nice collection. That Desert Eagle is definitely an airsoft replica, like the Samurai Edge. Capcom seems to have a deal with airsoft manufacturer Tokyo Marui, you can always see their company logo in the end credits of every game. They likely provide realistic weapon models to the developers, which is why guns in the series tend to look pretty good.
The music choices for old skool RE are very nostalgic specially the save room ones. Good video, I enjoyed every bit of it. those are some pretty uncommon gems yu got there
I remember seeing the action figures at Kay Bee toys for years after RE2 came out. They had the shock collection and the alarm clocks, but not the Claire and Leon with lighters. Seeing as I smoke today, I would love the RPD lighters now.
Great video. Informative. With Capcom's recent RE remakes, I'm wondering why they decided to change Jill's personality completely in the RE3 remake? They pretty much left Leon, Clair, and Ada the same.
Nu-Jill's personality is absolutely horrid. She's like an edgy teenager who feels the need to swear to act cool and "tough." I replayed RE5 and OG Jill oozed a quiet, mature confidence yet warmth. Nothing like and leagues better than Nu-Jill
Ever wondered what happened to the actors for the first R.E. game?🤔 That'll probably be a funny where are they now episode.🤣 I previously owned a S.T.A.R.S. airsoft gun at one point in my life and it felt great in my teenage hands.😎 I would've loved to get a RPD jacket if it weren't so rare to wear outside. Good video btw.👍
Whang already covered it. Chris is dead, Wesker is alive and does playthroughs with his son, Rebecca doesn't even remember being a part of the game. Barry is alive in Europe I believe, Jill is still missing
Didn't know Chris actor was dead,damn! Thought Oded Fehr from the RE-Movies was the Actor of the first video game when I was little. They look damn similar to each other!
I am - so pleased I stumbled across the video. Huge resident evil fan and this is just totally fantastic. Jealous of all these lovely products you have :)))
I always thought biohazard was a fitting title for the game. The eye draws you in, creating a life-threatening effect for the player. But the American version didn't quite feel life-threatening may be due to the fact you had a weapon.
Biohazard was also the name of a shitty band in the 90's so it wouldn't have worked just on that. Biohazard is a cool name, though i agree. It is fitting for the series as a whole. Resident Evil only works as a title for the 1st game because you're in a residence.
@@OCPrunsthecops at this point the popularity of the series would have overshadowed whatever band that was anyway so we would've associated Biohazard with the games instead 🤷♂️
@@papichulo8749 no one knew this game was gonna pop off. From the start, it was just 1 game. It only received sequels because of the selling & popularity of it.
Oh my god Chris’s expression gets me every time in the intro of the original LOL…I can never forget how much it made me laugh as a young teenager. I remember how “elusive” the uncensored opening was and how sought after it was…the first time I saw it I think was like 1999/2000 and it was amazingness
Love the European versions as they're extremely nostalgic but the Japanese logo plus eyebal and the plain white cover of the Director's Cut please my minimalist taste.
Awesome video. Especially the artwork. I've never seen that image of the Bravo team helicopter before. Also the japanese cover image for RE2 is the same one that was used in europe and I agree, it's really neat. It's also interesting how the US versions of RE2 and 3 used different fonts compared to US and Europe. I miss when game covers were interesting. 😅
Great video representation based on the the differences of the game, Japanese has more to offer and extras only you can get in Japanese games and not here, loves the rate stickers not that’s a true find..such a shame we won’t see games like these anymore, awesome collectors items..❤️😎
the spine card comes with every games, music cds and guidebooks in japan, they are called obi which means belt in japanese, if you are a collector make sure that belt is included as it will make a diffrence for the price decades from now
Perfect video! You are the expert! Games of that time were so rich! Always something new or hidden comes up! That is their main difference with the ones from nowadays!
To be honest. A resident that's evil makes no sense as a title specially when you look a the plot. Or is Evil a resident. Whatever. Biohazard is pretty simple and describes the game perfectly. Just a virus and bioweapons. lol
@@vokovom-u9332 biohazard sounds generic and uninteresting. If it wasn’t called resident evil I never would’ve looked into it and became a fan, could be the case for others.
The Desert Eagle ad is for the Tokyo Marui Airsoft replica. The company is renowned for its Resident Evil replicas, this gun is listed as the Biohazard 2 edition.
In the Biohazard 2 demo disc there is an exclusive demo of Rockman Dash a.k.a Mega Man Legends. That demo is only available in the Japanese version of Resident Evil: Director's Cut.
Still, there is something weird and cool about the original PAL cover art, the Japanese arts are great but they give away the fact that there is a lab involved, witht the European box you just knew it was horror and action, I think back in the days it made a difference by not giving away spoilers, but then again it mainly works if you discovered the game when it was released back in 96.
@@rodrigopadilla2144 I would say that depends on whether Eric Fogel was involved again cuz I'm sure he wouldn't follow today's standards of decision making which is what made the show great in the first place
for those that don't know, one of Chris and Claire's favourite bands is Queen, who's final album with Freddie Mercury on vocals which was released after he died was called 'Made in Heaven', which is where the motif comes from
In Japan I found an official airsoft replica of Leon's upgraded magnum from RE2 Remake. Would have loved to get it, but no way I was getting that through customs.
I had that controller that you saw in the re2 manual the right had stick was shaped like a pistol grip and the fire button was the trigger was a very comfortable controller in my opinion
11:40 I tried this controller one time, it is quite rare I think but fun. It is supposed to be held like a gun and the button configuration is slightly altered to make it look like it. It is actually closer than configuration you would see today with R button used for shooting. Basically you have the R button behind the long shaped handle and it feel like a trigger.
Please do the same with the japanese gamecube games; they are really beautiful, with lots of small details (stickers for the gc memory too) and in a totally different format than the American versions.
I'd like to mention that the front cover of Biohazard 2 for the GameCube was recicled from the Japanese covers of Biohazard 2: Dual Shock Edition for the PS1 and Biohazard 2 for the N64.
Those stickers look like Memory card stickers. They used to make all sorts of printed ones to put on them. I remember I had a SF alpha 3 sticker on one of mine for a lil while
Ive got that edition too ! Biohazard 2 complete with the stickers and i have the replica from.that stars weapon samurai edge airsoft 😍 nice to see scorepn ! ✌
The extra spine card is for people who prefer to use the PS standard case not the ones from Japan which are standard CD case. The game pad is designed for Resident Evil even the buttons are different as well. oldschoolgamersmagazine has the details on it
11:23 Capcom has collaborated with various airsoft guns manufacturers to sell airsoft guns modeled from their counterparts in the games like for example both WE and Tokyo Marui have made samurai edge pistols
Am pretty sure the deagle advertisement was for one of Tokyo Marui's Airsoft replicas xD pretty cool actually, the replicas of the remakes go for 600$ so I can't imagine how much those of the original games go now with how rare they become.
That cover for the U.S. version of the 1st R.E. game, I thought the guy's expression was done intentionally by the artist. The left side, viewed alone, is anger. Viewing the right side only is fear and confusion. Done intentionally to covey the 3 most expressions the player will have on their face while playing the game.
I also like the US version better, I was able to buy a long box PS1 version years back on ebay for a reasonable price, I'm sure it's worth more now, I also bought a Japanese version of RE 1, 2 and 3, for less than 10 bucks each, just to add to the collection, i don't have a modified PS1 to play them but I guess I could use the disc swap trick I used to play burned games back in the day

I personally like the soundtrack of resident evil director's cut dual shock version a bit more than the original except for the basement of course, that one sucks without a doubt. Some of the stuff in the video are interesting like the resident evil 1.5 gameplay videos, it makes me hope it actually made it outside of Japan.
I used that controller. It was a long time ago but I think it had a button dedicated to spinning the character round which helped with escaping and it was much easier to aim with it. It was comfortable. Kind of felt like holding an actual weapon. Damn, I should have kept it :) Great vid.
The original artwork on the US/Europe games feels like it was trying to reference evil dead. I'd have to go through some boxes but the Japanese directors cover might have been available as dual shock in Europe because its very familiar to me.
Interesting, thank you. My only complain is the fact you overlooked the European releases and their specificities, comparing them to the two others. That would have made the comparisons and analysis more complete, and made the video more interesting for us European viewers.
My proudest Resident evil collection is my Real 1:1 exact copy of the Samurai Edge that I paid a fortune to get the Brigadier 92FS,grips and to engrave the slide.
The PAL RE2/BIO2 cover art is way cooler than the NTSC-U version. Being from a PAL territory I remember thinking the NTSC-U version looked so lame. But the NTSC-U version is iconic. The "international versions" would include both PAL and NTSC-U. But most of our PAL games had the same cover art as the NTSC-J versions, with a some exceptions. And uhh... I geeked out way too much over those stickers in BIO2 as well lol. A few years ago I got basically the same haul of BIO PS1 games as you did here. They're beautiful.
If it's the airsoft replica pistols that you're interested in as gar as I'm aware both Tokyo Marui and WE still make them, though only Tokyo Marui make the Desert Eagle replicas. You can get different variants if the Samurai Edge from both Marui and WE. 🙂
@@Natedawg38 Its called EA Guncafe in Kichijoji (I hope its still open though due to Covid and all), The Capcom Bar was at Shinjuku in Pasela Resorts but I think that's seasonal (and again may not be open due to Covid etc..) but man... the R.E/Capcom themed food was fun and awesome. Put aside at least USD100++ just to visit these 2 places
this was a great video ... u should do more like this ... try and get your hands on some jpn toys and games store booklets i dont know what u call them anywhere else in the world but here a catalogue .. .. u will find many many unusual interesting and some ( coming soon ) / unreleased RE toys and board games .
If I could have two of those items it'd definitely have to be the Samurai Edge replica and the red Made in Heaven zippo lighter. I knew about some of the things presented here, but I had no idea they apparently made a snowboard. Was snowboarding even a thing in Japan at the time? I know they have lots of mountains, but I never heard of a really big snowboarding scene over there.
I find out mtv bringing back celebrity deathmatch with ice cube as producer but we have not heard from since 2018 some people thought it was cancelled but it not yet confirmed it was cancelled
The controller advertises itself as being a dedicated controller for Biohazard with a button layout specifically designed for Biohazard games. The D-Pad is used for items while the left grip is used for turning your character.
in the Biohazard 2 booklet the Desert Eagle for sale was an airsoft replica that shoots pellets. i Own that, Matilda, Jill and Weskers STARS berettas, the Albert 01R from RE7&8, Barrys special STARS Beretta and the Gold Lugers from Code Veronica. That one actually comes with a display plaque based on the one on the door u put them in to unlock it. its from Tokyo Marui. they make so many replica RE guns i LOVE that company. i only have the lugers on display right now, everything else is put away until i finish my gaming/11 year old me area LOLOL
I have the transparent Blue S.T.A.R.S (Chris) themed Dreamcast console and the transparent pink/red (Claire) themed Dreamcast that came with BIOHAZARD CODE: Veronica, a VMU and a few more things.

@@Natedawg38 Its called EA Guncafe in Kichijoji (I hope its still open though due to Covid and all), The Capcom Bar was at Shinjuku in Pasela Resorts but I think that's seasonal (and again may not be open due to Covid etc..) but man... the R.E/Capcom themed food was fun and awesome. Put aside at least USD100++ just to visit these 2 places
@@PrimVB legend. Thanks so much. Perfect
The zombie face on the Biohazard-2 game IS from the ROMERO r e 2 commercial , I hope he was paid well for his efforts , , , RIP George, , ,😸
As i collect japan ps1 games, I'll always wonder why they ad separate end labels, especially squaresoft titles. Amazing video!
Airsoft gun replicas are huge collectibles in Japan, so most likely thats why they were made and sold out.
Still remember how much I want the SOCOM replica back then
this was a great video ... u should do more like this ... try and get your hands on some jpn toys and games store booklets i dont know what u call them anywhere else in the world but here a catalogue .. ..
u will find many many unusual interesting and some ( coming soon ) / unreleased RE toys and board games .
If I could have two of those items it'd definitely have to be the Samurai Edge replica and the red Made in Heaven zippo lighter. I knew about some of the things presented here, but I had no idea they apparently made a snowboard. Was snowboarding even a thing in Japan at the time? I know they have lots of mountains, but I never heard of a really big snowboarding scene over there.
I'd buy one of the S.T.A.R.S. windbreakers and the Jill Valentine digital clock
I find out mtv bringing back celebrity deathmatch with ice cube as producer but we have not heard from since 2018 some people thought it was cancelled but it not yet confirmed it was cancelled
The controller advertises itself as being a dedicated controller for Biohazard with a button layout specifically designed for Biohazard games.
The D-Pad is used for items while the left grip is used for turning your character.
They actually released a controller like that? I can’t seem to find any info on it anywhere
Haha old school intro I feel like you'd make a great re friend to talk to on discord or what ever
in the Biohazard 2 booklet the Desert Eagle for sale was an airsoft replica that shoots pellets. i Own that, Matilda, Jill and Weskers STARS berettas, the Albert 01R from RE7&8, Barrys special STARS Beretta and the Gold Lugers from Code Veronica. That one actually comes with a display plaque based on the one on the door u put them in to unlock it. its from Tokyo Marui. they make so many replica RE guns i LOVE that company. i only have the lugers on display right now, everything else is put away until i finish my gaming/11 year old me area LOLOL
10:18 Amazon was around since 1994; eBay 1995.
I have the transparent Blue S.T.A.R.S (Chris) themed Dreamcast console and the transparent pink/red (Claire) themed Dreamcast that came with BIOHAZARD CODE: Veronica, a VMU and a few more things.
That’s so cool you got a hold of all the biohazard collection I bet it was expensive to get
Not sure why my comment keeps getting auto deleted but all I was saying is I got 1, 2 and 3 for 10 bucks each
I got em on ebay from Japan like 5 years ago
As I already have a Samurai Edge copy, I'd say either the figures or the (custom) Desert Eagle if I had to pick only 2 items...
The white cover with the zombie is fire bruh 😆
I have a STARS zippo, a STARS ID card, and a watch I got in the early ebay days.
11:40 Raccoon City Cinema did a video on this controller! The "resident evil pad"
