Both REmake 2 and 3 as well as RE7 are not as demanding as people think the games have really good character models and animations but everything else is actually basic when you look at the textures and assets they're certainly not on par with some of the games already ported. Capcom's support has not been very good in general tbh.

No sorry, this is an outright lie. RE2 and RE3 are some of the best looking games that were released in this generation. Both character models and environment details are absolutely insane. This is not coming only from me, this is also coming from Digital Foundry. Porting them would butcher the experience, the same way it did with The Witcher 3 and Doom 2016. Let's face it, just because those games are "good enough" on the Switch they are nowhere near good when stacked up against other versions.

Watching the Digital Foundry video right now just to make sure I remember correctly. Even the original XBO is running RE2 at 1080p. Throughout the generation, the base XBO has been having a tough time running lots of games without downgrading to 900p and 30fps.

If the base Xbox One can run the experience at 1080p and up to 60fps (though it frequently misses that mark), it can't be pushing the console as hard as you say. 

Capcom has been pushing beautiful looking but surprisingly not complex graphics since Mercenaries 3D on the 3DS. I'm no expert but I think the Switch can handle it with only FPS and Resolution cuts. 30fps at 720p-900p sounds about right.

*Edit* while I was posting, the PC version analysis started playing and they said pretty much any PC can run it without problems.
