Resident Evil 3: Nemesis - Beyond the Horror

Title screen

Image is an expanded version of European cover art.
Concept art switches perspective.
Pose of Jill's relentless pursuer grabbing Brad isn't unique.

Observe.

Street Fighter Alpha 2
Geezer's identity during Sagat's pre-match animation is unknown, but is strongly rumoured to be Go Hibiki.
Because it sure as shit ain't Dan, who before becoming playable in sequel, debuted as a secret character in 1995 original.
For those who don't know, design purposely mirrors SNK's Art of Fighting heroes Ryo Sakazaki (gi) and Robert Garcia (ponytail).

All in good humour you understand.

During the release of Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, co-designer Akiman whipped up this very nice pen and ink job, which became the basis for Dan.
More more more.

Of course it should be leash.

Miscellany

Near Grill 13, a movie theatre is showing Biohazard 4.
Curiously, Japanese name remains in North American and European releases, with the former using same image as cover art.
