Some speculated this was an effort on Capcom's part to combat second-hand sales.

But a Capcom spokesperson told Eurogamer this morning that the game's value will not be affected by the new feature.

"The game's value at second-hand in the UK is not affected by whether or not the game can have its data reset," Capcom said.

"Customers in the UK will not experience a reduced second-hand value should they wish to trade in their purchase."

So that's that, then. When was the last time you checked to see whether a video game allowed you to reset save data before trading it in or buying it second-hand?
