Game Description
Resident Evil Zero takes players back to where the nightmare began, serving as the gripping prequel to Capcom’s iconic survival horror franchise. Built exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube, it follows Rebecca Chambers of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team and ex-Marine Billy Coen as they uncover the origins of the deadly T-virus. Trapped aboard a runaway train and within the decaying halls of a mountain facility, players must manage scarce resources, solve complex puzzles, and battle grotesque bio-engineered monsters in a desperate fight for survival.
Developed and published by Capcom, Resident Evil Zero introduced a bold new “partner zapping” system that allows instant character switching between Rebecca and Billy. This mechanic deepened both strategy and tension, forcing players to juggle inventory and positioning in real time. Enhanced pre-rendered backgrounds, dynamic lighting, and detailed character models showcase some of the most stunning visuals ever achieved on the GameCube — immersing players in an atmosphere dripping with dread and cinematic realism.
As the last classic-style Resident Evil built with fixed camera angles and traditional survival mechanics, Resident Evil Zero stands as a collector’s milestone and a vital piece of horror-gaming history. It bridges the gap between the original mansion incident and later chapters of the saga, offering fans an essential look into Umbrella’s dark beginnings. For collectors and franchise devotees, this GameCube exclusive remains a must-own artifact of Capcom’s golden era of survival horror.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Originally conceived for the Nintendo 64, Resident Evil Zero was re-engineered for the GameCube to take full advantage of its processing power and memory. The result was a visually breathtaking experience that pushed Capcom’s in-house RE Engine (predecessor to later versions) to its limits. Its dual-protagonist design influenced future entries, including Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil Revelations.
