Look, I have no doubt thatResident Evil: Revelationswill be a good game, but$50 for a 3DS title? Are we paying $10 for an erasable save spot? Kidding! Kind of.

Our recent previewtells us thatRevelationsis huge, has full voice acting, Circle Pad support and a script by Dai Sato, but it’s still a 3DS game, erasable save space or no. So why the price hike? The game requires a 4GB cartridge to hold all of that, says Capcom.

“Resident Evil Revelationsis an all newResident Eviltitle with over 20 hours of gameplay, and cutscenes beautifully rendered in fear-inducing 3D,” a Capcom spokesperson toldKotaku. “A true console experience on a handheld device,Resident Evil Revelationsis an epic title that offers both a single-player campaign for that classic survival horror gaming experience, and an additional RAID mode that can be played cooperatively or single player. To handle all of that dataResident Evil Revelationsrequires a 4GB cartridge, resulting in a higher price point.”

Ow. At least they didn’t say that it’s $10 better than other 3DS titles.
