Capcom have just announced the release of Resident Evil: Degeneration, a new third-person action title for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The game takes a fairly decent stab at replicating Resident Evil 4 & 5's control scheme on the phone, through the use of an on-screen, touch-sensitive d-pad (which you can see pictured). The events of the game are based on those of the recent animated feature of the same name, and players will take control of Leon Kennedy

The game is already out, and will set you back $7.
