Resident Evil, known in Japan as Biohazard is a survival horror series of video games developed by Capcom and created by Shinji Mikami. The series is credited with establishing the survival horror genre. The franchise has been heavily influenced by George A. Romero's Dead movies, as well as the Alone in the Dark series of PC horror games, early seminal examples of the genre. The games have sold over 30 million copies as of February 2006. The success of the series has led to the creation of comic books, novelizations, two Hollywood action films (with a third under production), guides, collectibles, publications, and a variety of action figures. As of 2007, there are six games in the mainstream series (excluding remakes), with seventh and eighth installments currently under production.

Glitches

Grenade Launcher Glitch
This is a step-by-step guide to getting this glitch to work. Follow these instructions or it will fail.

Requirements: You must have the grenade launcher and two types of ammo (e.g., Grenade Rounds, Incendiary Rounds)

1) Put all items in item box

2) Put Grenade Launcher in upper-left item slot

3) Put Incendiary Rounds in upper-right item slot

4) Close box

5) Open inventory

6) Equip Grenade Launcher

7) Open box

8) Select Incendiary Rounds from inventory

9) Press ''A'' twice

10) Move cursor to Incendiary Rounds inside box

11) Press ''A'' twice

The amount of Incendiary Rounds in the Grenade Launcher will now increase. The number value will be graphically glitched. Close the box and open inventory to fix that. I assume the value exceeds the possible amount, so the game automatically reduces the rounds to 240 to prevent data corruption. Enjoy.

This also works for other types of grenade ammo... But why you'd want anything other than Incendiary Rounds is beyond me.

NOTE: This code does not work in the PAL version of the game.

Remakes of classic games usually rock, at least their graphics do. This is also the case of Resident Evil, the GameCube version and you should check out the video below if you don't believe me:
