I am pretty sure *some* of the RE games that are missing on Switch will hit Switch 2. Not sure about 9 will be able REMake2 and 3 or RE VII and VIII should be possible.

Why I am sure that RE (and some Monster Hunter) will come to Switch 2? A new console usually gets hit with two types of ports: best-selling games and the most recent ones. The recent ones have an active team that can include the new platform while knowing the details of the game. The best-sellers are most likely to recoup the porting cost on an untested platform.

Well, Capcom is releasing Street Fighter and Kanitsu-Gami. Which are great games, but not Capcoms big sellers and also with 2024 and 2023 releases not super recent. Which is unusual. Both games are running on RE Engine, so other RE Engine games should be possible. This includes the big sellers RE 7+8, which would more likely to recoup porting costs than Street Fighter. And it includes Monster Hunter Wilds, which is also a massive seller.

These seem like more likely choices. That Capcom revelead Street Fighter and Kanitsu-Gami is for me a sign that Capcom is going all-in on Switch 2, they just showed their smaller games first in the Switch 2 direct, there much other stuff is shown. I guess they want a bigger spotlight for their big series, so I guess a later Direct would be the better place to announce or even a dedicated Capcom Direct (they had similar stuff in the past, Monster Hunter Direct).

My guess is around (probably shortly after) the release of Donkey Kong Bananza. Nintendo showed two big hitters with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza for the launch period. They don't want to take away the spotlight from them too early. But after Bananza released there is a good opportunity to hit us with another direct.

Shouldn't be a problem. All RE games (including Village & RE4 Remake) run very well on the Steam Deck and RE 9 probably uses the same engine.

Capcom already has been with the Switch via cloud based lol.....so anything is possible :P

I can see 7 and 8 coming for sure along with the remakes of 2, 3 and 4 which skipped Switch 1.

9 is a gonna be a long stretch but who knows, maybe a cloud version lol

RE7/8 and the remakes of 2/3/4 will almost certainly see release on Switch 2; they all run on PS4 so they shouldn't be difficult to port.

Most PS4/Xbox One Resident Evil titles and before should be available.
Friendly reminder that Capcom is one of the main reasons we got 4 GB RAM on Switch, 3 GB usable for games.
Wouldn't it be funny if Nintendo was going to use 8 GB or 10 GB RAM for Switch 2 and history repeated itself with Capcom asking for more?

Capcom is the best third party when it comes to multiplatform, expect the entire franchise on the switch 2. I also expect RE9 to be able to run on the steam deck and NS2

As people say, 7-4remake should be no-brainers. They’ll come.
I also think Requiem will come, maybe just a little later than the other platforms. If they could put in the effort to get Re4 remake on PS4, I don’t see why they couldn’t put the effort into getting Requiem on the much more powerful Switch 2, it should use the same engine after all.
