Just in case you need yet another reminder of how old you’re getting, Capcom first revealed Resident Evil 7: Biohazard all the way back in June 2016 – almost a decade ago. Following its release in 2017 and a rather unsavoury cloud port on the Switch in 2021, Nintendo fans can finally experience Capcom’s soft reboot on Switch 2 natively - and it’s excellent.
RE7 brings the series back to its survival horror roots, albeit with a shift over to the first-person perspective. The result is an experience that, in my opinion, has aged like fine wine. Resident Evil has never felt quite so immersive, with stunning visuals powered by the Reach to the Moon (RE) Engine and gameplay that pays homage to the 1996 original whilst adding in a few new mechanics of its own.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard makes a triumphant native debut on Switch 2, liberating the title from its previous "cloud prison" with a port that rivals current-gen hardware.
Capcom's survival horror games run great and look awesome on Nintendo's next-gen machine
And its a shame Capcom released them on the platform as Game Key Cards. I'll stick to my PS5 versions
Already have 7 & 8 on PS5. Resi 9 is getting great reviews but there's not a hope in hell I'm paying £65 for it on Switch 2. I wont buy it until it comes down on price, purely on principal.
These companies will continue to try and inch up prices until people fight back with their wallets.
Waiting for my RE Generation pack!
Fantastic port! I am now confident that RE9 will be great also on Switch 2. 2 days to go!
Yawn. Most of us have played this ages ago. Congrats i guess 🥴
Awesome news. Another Switch 2 success.
