Resident Evil 3 Remake Demo Datamine mentions Switch Eshop. Could hint at a unannounced RE Engine project coming to switch.

Mainly wanted to post this for the Nemesis playing Switch image. But there's some interesting points to make on this.

  • Could mean a port is or was planned/cancelled
  • RE3 Cloud Edition
  • It could actually be left over data from shared engine assets for a future title for switch that will use RE Engine. As all projects made under the engine share tools/data to help future development.

It's probably just RE Engine stuff which future Switch titles will likely be using, not necessarily a port of RE3 itself.

Of course they're considering and even experimenting with as many platforms as they can. Doesn't mean it'll happen. Doesn't mean it won't happen either.

Doubt this means much, but RE Engine games will sooner or later come to a version of Switch.

If Switch Pro is happening next year I think Capcom is gonna expand their Switch back catalog with these games.

There was tons of RE7 and RE2make data also left in it so I wouldn't get my hopes up aside for general REngine multiplatform planning.

A RE spinoff with pre-rendered backgrounds and classic gameplay, using high quality models with RE Engine.

I mean, any port for Switch is possible if Nintendo's willing to pay for it (someone like Capcom would never). But would it be worth the cost?

we saw Switch mentions in RDR2 files as well and we had nothing.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

It's only been 3 months, it's still early to say for certain. Port of The Witcher 3 took more than one year, something like RDR2 should take more.

LOL imagine beliving Capcom putting any effort into a Switch port of any title.

It's gonna be either nothing or a Japan-only cloud version of RE3R.

I like how people despite seeing loads of impossible ports still stamp their feet and fly the "impossible port" flag high and scream "Not happening"

I'm just not counting on a port because it's Capcom, not because any technical hurdle, to be complete honest.

Also, if that was for a cloud version, they wouldn't exactly need to mention the system anywhere (at least I don't think?), since they wouldn't natively port the game anyway, it would be running through streaming.
