First of all, a side comment which makes perfectly logical sense but is still amusing is that they label the genre of Revelations as a survival-horror title and Mercenaries as a survival-action title. They seem to be going the route where they want to release games for both audiences so making the distinction is always a good thing.

Chris stared at Jill as her eyes looked cautiously at the luxury cruise liner, the scene of the case itself, the Gosutoshippu 化Shita (the name of the ship, not sure of the English title).
Approaching the Gosutoshippu, Jill murmured as she checked her equipment.

The Product Page for Resident Evil the Mercenaries reads…
Exclusive for the Nintendo 3DS, featuring the official genre starter of survival-action!
Using the popular characters of the Resident Evil series, players kill as many enemies as they can within the time limit, competing for top scores and against other players. Wi-fi capabilities allow players to enjoy online co-op from all around the world!
Players eagerly awaiting to survive with a friend the long onslaughts of action and the unique form of giant mobs attacking on handhelds will be pleased.
