It seems as though Japanese gamers are lapping up the recently released Resident Evil Requiem on the Nintendo Switch 2. Reports are circulating that the latest Resident Evil game on the Nintendo Switch 2 is sold out at three of the biggest retailers in The Land of the Rising Sun. Those retailers are Yodobashi, Bic Camera and Yamada Denki. Coincidently, Amazon Japan has also sold out of copies of the Nintendo Switch 2 version. Seems Capcom made precisely the correct decision launching the game on the platform.
Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:
"Thirty years ago Capcom found what would eventually become one of their landmark franchises in Resident Evil and now nearly thirty years after the events of Raccoon City, one of the game’s stars will be returning to where his story began. Over the past ten years Capcom has told the story of Ethan Winters while bringing the classic Resident Evil titles to modern audiences and now with Resident Evil Requiem it feels like the company has brought the two together into one complete package, aiming to deliver both survival horror and some action packed gameplay all into one story. Thankfully for fans, they have succeeded."

This is great news. Another indication that third party games are selling well on Switch 2.
Wonder if this is a situation where quantities were limited. Good news for Resident Evil Requiem either way.
