This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Prerelease footage

The original survivor horror redone for the GameCube, fixing loads of problems the original game had (including the original "dialogue"), and overall making the game look prettier. This version of the game would be used in all ports of the game on newer systems after.

Regional Differences

Title Screen

Japan	International

Not only does the Japanese title screen say biohazard, using a different font than the US version, but also the eye in the background is different as well. Also, there's an added bit of copyright info for Capcom U.S.A. in the US version for obvious reasons.

Infinite Grenade Rounds

In the original release Japanese and US copies of the game, there is a glitch that lets the player obtain an infinite amount of Grenade Rounds. The European version and all later ports (including the Resident Evil Archives re-release on the Nintendo Wii in all regions) of the game fixed this glitch. The following is a step-by-step guide for the glitch to work:

1. Put all items in item box
2. Put Grenade Launcher in upper-left item slot
3. Put Grenade Rounds in upper-right item slot
4. Close box
5. Open inventory
6. Equip Grenade Launcher
7. Open box
8. Select Grenade Rounds from inventory
9. Press A twice
10. Move cursor to Grenade Rounds inside box
11. Press A twice
