You may not have believed it when Capcom announced the news yesterday on April Fool’s Day, but it has brought the original Resident Evil trilogy – Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis – to Steam. Capcom also tossed in Breath of Fire IV as a bonus.
The announcement is the latest celebratory gesture for Resident Evil’s 30th anniversary this year. Each game features quality-of-life enhancements to support modern operating systems and current controllers. Other than these vague tweaks, these are very much the PS1 games you remember. The same goes for Breath of Fire IV, the 2000 RPG first released on the original PlayStation.
You can purchase all four games for $9.99 each, and they’re currently on sale for 50 percent off ($4.99) as part of a special launch discount.
