Forums - Nintendo - Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem coming to Switch 2 February 27th 2026

Switch 2 is a kiddie system. Games like RE7 will not sell well there.

Updated OP with the trailers, now that they're posted.

Worth noting that RE7/Village are the Gold Editions.

This is the first time a current gen mainline Resident Evil game has released on a Nintendo system since RE4 on Gamecube.

Will be getting the Switch 2 version of Reqieum and maybe one of VII or Village ... is there a consensus on which of those two is better?

Yeah I'll be picking up Requiem as well, and Village as I already played RE7 on PS5. Can't comment on which is better personally.



Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 7 are some of the best games I've ever played. I recommend everyone to get those.

Key Cards are stupid. You might as well download it digitally. There is no difference unless you want people to borrow the game.

(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

And you can litteraly use Gameshare to accomplish that anyway.

Nice.

Here's hoping RE2 and RE4 remakes come in the future alongside the rumored Code Veronica remake.

I already have all the Switch 1 RE games.

Yeah here's hoping; Dusk Golem says they are all coming, and he was right about Requiem/7/Village.

On a technical level they should be fairly easy to port as they run on PS4. If they're willing to go to the trouble of bringing over Requiem, a current gen title, then the last gen stuff should be a no-brainer.

The image quality and lighting difference is pretty enormous, but other than that the Switch 2 is holding up well when it comes to retaining a similar experience. 

I hope they release a PSVR version. That's my favorite way to play modern Resident Evil. Had a blast with Village VR. 



You can tell it's cut back, especially the hair, but honestly for a portable console running a high profile current gen title, it holds up fine, certainly a lot closer than we saw in most PS4 ports to Switch 1.

It will be interesting to see where RE7 and Village fall technically; will they be straight ports of the PS4 versions, or will they incorporate some of the 9th gen upgrades?



For comparison, just look at how horrible Revelations 2 looked on the PS Vita. For a PS5 game running on a handheld, RE9 is holding up fantasticaly.
