10 Insane Things You Won't Believe Were Cut From Resident Evil Games
10. Chris Redfield's Mega Man Outfit - Resident Evil 1
While the Resident Evil series might make Capcom a tonne of stinky cheddar when it comes to sales, it's obviously not the only iconic franchise they have under their belt, as alongside the always slick Dante from Devil May Cry, they also have the wonderfully beloved Mega Man series.
While in recent years Capcom has been a bit shy about their love for the blue bomber, back in the day they were more than keen to tie his mega busting fame to anything they could, and it turns out that at some point in development Chris Redfield might have gotten the Mega Man treatment in Resident Evil 1.
Thanks to some intrepid data miners, fans uncovered an unused outfit for Chris that has a tiny, and rather crudely drawn Mega Man icon next to it. The outfit is in an unfinished state and was likely canned shortly into its development, but it's still a huge missed opportunity, especially if said suit came with some Mega Man gadgets!
It sure would have added some levity to the otherwise dour Resident Evil tone, which is something that Capcom nailed going forward with the likes of Tofu.
