Videogame retailers in the UK and elsewhere are taking markedly different stances on whether to accept trade-ins of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, after it was revealed that save data cannot be reset on Capcom’s upcoming 3DS title.

This is a precision platformer, built around learning how to slide, hop and leap each day's course in order to shave fractions of seconds off your time. All past levels are available to play if you've missed them, though global leaderboards are frozen after a single day's play.
