I love Resident Evil despite my inexperience with the original games. While Iāve barely played the first Resident Evil, never played Resident Evil 3, and only experienced Resident Evil 2 via the remake, I have become a fan of the series through Capcomās willingness to port it to new consoles. My first expedition into the seriesā world was through the Resident Evil 4 port for the Wii. Capcomās commitment to ensuring that these games are available to new players is heartening in an industry that consistently restricts our access to retro games.
Now a new generation will get to experience the seriesā older entries. According to Gamespot Capcom will release the original Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 0, and Resident Evil 4 on Nintendo Switch on May 21. These are the first mainline Resident Evil entries to be available on the Ā Switch and will be released through the Nintendo eShop.
Iām excited to pick these games up. While many of these titles have been available on various platforms for years, the success of the Resident Evil 2 remake has both piqued my curiosity about the earlier games made me want to revisit Resident Evil 4. The Switchās portability makes these ports all the more tantalizing, and Iām eager to dive into more Resident Evil whilst on public transport.
Hopefully, no one on the Red Line will glare too hard when I laugh about Jill Sandwiches.
