Well, we had Capcom's president saying that multiplatform development was possible with Switch, but that they wouldn't do it because they want to do something different for Nintendo's machine, and that hasn't changed after hearing what this Capcom employee has said. After all, porting an engine doesn't mean porting a game.

But, as with everything, time will tell what will happen between Capcom and Nintendo and which games will the machine get. At least, the fact that they are working together is very positive and it could be very beneficial for both sides as it was this last gen the cooperation between Nintendo and Bandai-Namco.

Also, I'm curious about the "main memory space" bit. Did Nintendo go with 2GB (including whatever the OS reserves for itself, like with Wii U) and Capcom convinced them to make it bigger? And how bigger? 4GB?

Actually Capcom never specifically said they that they wouldn't do it. While this employee specifically talking about bringing RE to Switch.

I haven't said that Capcom wouldn't do it, I said what Capcom's president said, that they didn't want to do it.

"During the latest financial briefing, Capcom’s CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto has touched upon the company’s Nintendo Switch support. During the Q&A session, Tsujimoto stated that multiplatform development will be possible for the new Nintendo console, but that’s not what Capcom would like to do, as they seek to offer something that will differ from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One titles. Tsujimoto also added that the company is currently in an internal review phase regarding content and features that might be offered in Switch titles, so there are no additional details on the matter as of now."

 

Also, that employee in the OP doesn't talk about Resident Evil but rather the engine Capcom used to make the game. Two different things.
