Overview
- All three native ports—Resident Evil 2 Deluxe, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition—launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 16, 2026, with short-term introductory discounts.
- Reviewers report the Switch 2 builds reliably target 60 frames per second in both docked and handheld modes, producing smooth gameplay even during high-action sequences.
- The ports include each game’s extra modes and DLC such as RE4’s Separate Ways and Mercenaries and RE2’s bonus modes and costumes, giving players complete editions on the new hardware.
- Visual compromises versus PS5/PC are noted and include lower native resolution, occasional texture pop-in, and aliasing on fine details like hair when DLSS upscaling is used.
- Critics praise the native releases as the best way to play these remakes on Nintendo hardware but consistently judge RE3 as the weakest remake and say players seeking peak fidelity or some platform features may prefer PS5 or PC.
