I played all 3 new Resident Evil games on Switch 2 — here’s the one you should buy

A Nintendo Switch 2 on a table showing icons for three Resident Evil games.

I love Resident Evil, and I love my Nintendo Switch 2. So when Capcom confirmed it was bringing the three most recent mainline games in the series (excluding remakes) to the hybrid console, I was definitely excited to have an excuse to replay Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village, alongside a portable way to enjoy the new Resident Evil Requiem (I completed an intital playthrough on PS5 Pro, to get the best performance first time through).

Of course, when it comes to Switch 2 ports, there always needs to be a level of caution mixed in with your anticipation. I’ve been largely impressed by the quality of AAA gaming on Nintendo’s current system, but the hybrid device is not a powerhouse compared to a PS5 Pro or even an Xbox Series X. Some sacrifices to visuals and performance are always expected on Switch 2.
