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.

That's because the game is a) well optimized and B) the base Xbox is several times more powerful than a Switch. Look, if you want a gimped version of these masterpieces, it's fine by me, I couldn't care less, but let's not beat around the bushes, the experience will be severely limited and objectively inferior even at a glance. 

As somebody who owns a gaming PC, PS4 and Switch I feel I get the best from all worlds. I know that financial reasons might play a part, they did so for me as well, 6-7 years ago when I was just gearing up with my job, but man I feel that people are missing out by sticking to one platform. I would recomend as I mentioned before, just wait out the eventual stronger PC that everyone gets at one point and the game for <5$ on steam/gog. Its not like there are not plenty of games on the Switch to play that are natively made for it.

Man. I wish I could afford something besides just a Switch. But you're right. Would be nice to play on the go, though. 😢
