Played on iPhone 5 (iOS 8.4.1). Gameplay of RE: MVS on all game modes and maps with all characters.

Finally obtained the seemingly lost (aside from RE VS. (GREE) that is truly lost forever) and obscure mobile version of Resident Evil 5's Versus Mode that runs on the Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition engine. Originally released in April 2011 for the 3rd generation iPod Touch/iPhone 3GS and above, this game had very little fanfare, with little information even at the time of its release.

REMVS had two game modes - Versus (Team Deathmatch and Free for All) and Coin Shoot. The main draw of this game is its Versus Mode. There are three playable characters and three maps to choose from. The playable characters included were Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Albert Wesker; with the maps being locations based on RE4 with the Docks, Fortress, and Castle. This game originally had online but the servers were shut down after it got pulled from the App Store when Apple decided to drop 32-bit app support on iOS 11.

I got lucky finding the .ipa file for the game and finally getting a chance to play it again after I bought a 64 GB iPhone 5 on eBay for $25 and downgrading it to iOS 8. I have it dual-booted to iOS 6, but the Lightning to AV Adapter didn't like my Elgato Game Capture HD60 S so I had to use my iOS 8 setup to play it.

As for preserving this piece of history? If this video gets 1000 views and 100 likes, I will upload it on Archive.org and a follow-up video that details this game to coincide with it. Thanks for watching.
