Fat Princess tips hood to Resident Evil

by Justin McElroy on May 19th 2009 10:00AM

Well, isn't that just adorable. Tipster John sent us this image from the Fat Princess beta, which you can see too by clicking on the game's "Online Store" section. We put a picture for you after the break if you're still completely confused.

It seems that after being utterly abandoned during Resident Evil 5, the merchant from RE4 has taken up a job in the world of Fat Princess. Well, we guess times are tight all over.

GOT A SELECTION OF GOOOOOOOOD THINGS ON SAAAAALE, STRANGER!

He was the heart and soul of RE4.

yep. you're right. He was the heart and soul of that game. You could allways count on him. Even if you'd killed him because of being angry at not being able to purchase some of his things, he wouldn't mind and would appear somewhere down the line.

Strange Merchant...I salute you! (plays the metal gear solid 3 The Boss salutation music)

I was that guy for Halloween a couple years back. My friends thought my impression was funny. I'm sure it got really old by the end of the night XD

You could kill him?

...

*puts RE4 back into PS2*

What are ya buyin?
What are ya sellin?

Unbelievably awesome. Reminds me of that really good song that one guy submitted for the Now You're a Songwriter contest on Joystiq.

that man single handedly got me through disc 1 on RE:4.. the rest well I was to scared to finish

I want to get fabulous!

"It seems that after being utterly abandoned during Resident Evil 5, the merchant from RE4 has taken up a job in the world of Fat Princess."

ALOT of what made Resident Evil so good was utterly abandoned during RE5.

"ALOT of what made Resident Evil so good was utterly abandoned during RE5."

Spot on.
Granted I've only played the demo, but RE5 went from "must buy" (after finding out they kept the RE4 over-the-shoulder/aiming) to "eh, I'll get it when it's in the bargain bin for $10" (after playing the demo for 10 minutes and becoming rather disgusted).

I may just go home and dust off my Wii and throw in RE4 when I get home.

Yeah, The gore was taken out, the chainsaw dude isnt as scary, infac...The game isnnt even scary, what the hell happend to the virus that turned them into zombies and not your average crazy person lol

"You don't have to face fear alone!"

Uh, yeah. You do. Honestly, coop games are never as scary, because you've got your obnoxious friend yelling in an exaggerated fashion right the hell next to you. Like that lady in the movie theater. I mean, at least RE4 had the damn infirmary. That got pretty disturbing.

I like those options. Can I Get Fabulous while playing with my Twiddly Knobs though?

I'll buy it at a high price!!!

Ah! I'll buy it from you at a high price.

don't want to be a killjoy but there is an NDA

Oh man, that's grand! Hadn't seen that one!

"not enough cash stranger"... shoots merchant in the head... merchant: " aaaahhhhhh"

sorry for the post, im using my lg dare to type this

I feel your pain. I mistype things all the time because of the iPhone's "smart" typing system. Seriously, it doesn't just change things after you type them, it literally tries to predict what you mean to type, and causes incorrect button presses. I wish I could remember what -- "genre"! Try typing that word in an iPhone. It refused to let you type it first try. It thinks you are trying to type "gener," so even if your finger clearly hits the R after the N, it types E. Bugger.
