It isn't called Biohazard in the USA, it's called Resident Evil.

Yeh, It's called Biohazard in Japan only.

Biohazard is the original Japanese Title. It was changed to Resident Evil for the international market because A: they though Resident Evil sounded better, and B: there was/is already a band called Biohazard, and Capcom (I think) didn't want to be confused with them.

So I've heard...
