Boasting online co-op, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D will recreate Mercenaries missions from Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. The timed mode involves rampaging through small arenas while blasting through as many zombies as possible.

RE: The Mercenaries 3D "will add brand new modes and well known characters from the series to enrich and extend the Mercenaries experience," Capcom said.

Capcom has yet to reveal a release date. The Nintendo 3DS, which boasts a glasses-free 3D screen, is due in March 2011. A conventional Resident Evil adventure is also in the works for the 3DS, dubbed Resident Evil: Revelations.
