Resident Evil 3: Nemesis/notes


 * Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is the first of the main games to have a subtitle, and the only main game to feature a number and a subtitle.


 * The game came with a demo disk for the original Dino Crisis.


 * The description on the back of the game case incorrectly states that Resident Evil 3 takes place "just days" after the Mansion Incident. In fact, the games' events are separated by just over two months.


 * The movie theater near the restaurant (Grill 13) is showing a movie entitled Biohazard 4. The poster shows the American box art from the second game.


 * According to interviews with series creator Shinji Mikami and Hiroyuki Kobayashi, the game was originally conceived as a side story to the series titled Biohazard (Resident Evil) 1.9. It was only halfway during development that the developers decided to use the title "Biohazard 3" as they felt that the game was deserving of the title. Mikami later commented in an interview that he didn't want the title Resident Evil 3 to be used on the game. Another working title for the game was Biohazard 2.1 (as seen on storyboards of the game).


 * After completing the game, the boutique is unlocked. Obtainable is the costume of Regina from Dino Crisis, with a red wig as well. Also up for grabs is Jill's costume from the original Resident Evil along with many others. In the PC version, all seven alternate outfits are already unlocked right from the beginning and the player can choose what to wear before the game starts, so the boutique can never be opened.


 * Creating Handgun Ammo and Shotgun Shells numerous times with the reloading tool will allow Jill to create Enhanced rounds at the player's discretion which has higher damage, in exchange for some extra recoil. Except for in the minigame Operation: Mad Jackal, Enhanced ammo can only be made, it can never be found anywhere in the game.


 * While not usable in the game by normal means, Tofu can replace a currently player-controlled character by way of a game enhancer.


 * This game marked the first appearance of the Samurai Edge handgun, which would be deemed the S.T.A.R.S. standard sidearm later in the series.


 * Resident Evil 3 is one of the few games that does not feature the self-destruct system and the explosion at the end is instead caused by US government launched thermo-nuclear missiles.


 * Eagle's Pet Shop appears on the streets of Raccoon City. Eagle is a reference to the Street Fighter character.


 * If one looks closely at the Exit button in the Epilogue, under it reads, very illegible, "I Love You, Shinji Mikami, Return to Menu!".


 * In a lot of places throughout the city, you can see ads of Burger Kong.


 * In the place where you will get the fire hose, you can see the word CAPCOM above the door.


 * When getting the compass (near the restaurant), you can read in the plaques, the words "SNAILIVIC TSUM EVOMER GOD TNEMERCXE" (Downsided) or when read backwards, it says "CIVILIANS MUST REMOVE DOG EXCREMENT". It is believed that this might have been a sign recycled from the beta version of the game, or just a joke from the developers. You can also read the "full" version of that message after you've exited the warehouse (the place with sitting zombie). The message says "DOGS, BE ON LEASH AND OWNERS MUST REMOVE DOG EXCREMENT."


 * If the player uses a cheat device to enable "open item box anywhere," strange character textures may appear. For example, during the first nemesis fight, Brad's decimated face is clearly visible "Probably becuase his model and texture is within the room", Textures and models of the characters can be extracted by using some tools especially in PC Version of RE3. This only works in the American version of Resident Evil 3.


 * Not only the live selections can cause another items or monsters appearances. The game has it's uncontrolled "Random". The striking example is Magnum/Grenade Launcher appearance in the S.T.A.R.S. office.


 * There is a hidden Chief Irons model in RE3, Which is more likely the Mysterious man that appears in the Mercencaries "Operation: Mad Jackal " ending.
