Capcom Opening Resident Evil Themed Restaurant

[Marccap]

Capcom has decided to do something special to promote Resident Evil 6 and have announced today that they will be opening up a Resident Evil themed restaurant in Japan next month to tie-in with the upcoming release of Resident Evil 6 this October.

The restaurant will feature special swag for fans of the series along with performances by the dance troupe S.T.A.R.S. Angelique. Biohazard Cafe & Grill S.T.A.R.S. will only be open for about one year, and will host its grand opening in Shibuya, Tokyo on July 13, 2012.

This is the latest in a line of pop-up establishments similar to those that appear in the U.S. or Europe, the Biohazard Café & Grill S.T.A.R.S will serve themed food in an atmosphere appropriate setting. Capcom has yet to issue details concerning the menu of the restaurant, but it could likely mirror the one Capcom featured for their high-end restaurant + bar which featured a Tyrant steak and a cake desert modeled after the brain of a Licker.

The Biohazard Café may sound like its completely pointless but small themed shops like this are common in Japan. Capcom’s marketing style is very different and unique as they’re doing something different and of course it’s receiving attention.

We're very much looking forward to finding out how many people are willing to eat at a restaurant called Biohazard. Would you eat there?

Something tells me the first few restaurants will be fantastic, even ground breaking.

Then later on they'll start to disappoint and head in the wrong direction.

[Kid_Loser]

That's awesome. That is I think an experience worth trying out for everybody. The first few days I guarantee it will be packed.

Nothing better than opening a restaurant on Friday the 13th, it'll be a huge success

[GriZZlyLiZard]

first few days? i reckon the first few weeks at least, coming from a hospatality background, novelty is everything and this has it in spades

edit- wow, lovely spelling on my behalf.

Sounds about right...

[Coug]

I wonder if they will be serving up the T-Virus, C-Virus, or the plague from Re4 and 5.

Is "Comig Soon" supposed to be a play on how badly translated the Resident Evil games were.

All I care about is if there is a Jill Sandwich.

[johnny_leyenda]

I wonder how the products come, though.
For example, the brain dessert. Does it come in that shape or do the people working there have to make it? Because after a while I bet it'd get really tedious and instead of brains they'd look like a piece of s**t.

There was almost a Jill Sandwich...

This sounds cool, given that the game has a big following for movies and games, but let's not go overboard on this, shall we?

[00Highway00]

Haha. That's funny. Probably be like medieval times. You go for the experience not the food, because the food is shit

[El Jefe]
