 Hey, hey, hey, good news everyone. There was a big news that happened yesterday that I kind of passed over But now I want to visit today right now That is the fact that Resident Evil is coming to Nintendo switch before the end of 2017 Unfortunately, it's not Resident Evil 7 Although that's not completely off the table of possibilities just yet What happened yesterday is that Capcom announced Resident Evil revelations for Xbox one and PlayStation 4 And they released a trailer and the trailer looks fantastic and I'll put a link down in the description for you to go check that trailer out but what's interesting is that They are also bringing it to Nintendo switch now It is releasing on Xbox one and PlayStation 4 August 29th So this month but the switch version isn't done yet and they're not releasing that until the end of the year or And you know before the year is up now The big deal here and the big difference is that while Xbox one and PlayStation 4 are getting resident evil revelations Switch owners are going to be able to buy a collection pack the resident the resident evil revelations Collection which will include resident evil one is a cartridge and it'll include resident evil 2 as a digital download code Or you could buy each game individually digitally for 1999 and 1999 is also the cost of resident evil revelations on Xbox one and PlayStation 4 now to those who might not be in the know that may sound like Nintendo's kind of getting a deal But resident evil revelations 2 is already on Xbox one and PlayStation 4 So this is just catching the Nintendo switch up to a new version of the game being released And obviously releasing the resident evil revelations 2 and this is exciting for a number of reasons Particularly because this marks the return of resident evil to Nintendo platforms now It feels weird saying return because resident evil revelations was originally on 3ds And then it eventually got ported over to PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 and yes the we use so it's not like we've really even gone a Full generation lately without resident evil But what what we do know is that resident evil revelations sold poorly on Wii U and Nintendo never got resident evil revelations to well until now So with getting the original resident evil revelations and obviously getting revelations to we are looking at an opportunity To potentially show Capcom that we really love the resident evil series that we as switch owners And we obviously I'm just talking about people who own switch or who are interested in owning a switch Want resident evil on the platform and unlike Street Fighter 2 which sold really really well And I'm aware that I made some some factual errors in my my talk about the sales of ultra Street Fighter 2 Because that was an exclusive version of Street Fighter 2 for switch So it never technically released on other platforms. I mean it did but as like under different titles with different features And I don't know I'm kind of over you know Capcom rehashing Street Fighter 2 over and over again a game that came out in 1991 it's like it almost be if Nintendo was beating the drum with melee because the smash Competitive community can't let melee go So if they just kept Re-releasing and rehashing that because you know the competitive community can't move on to the new game fully but Unlike that situation where yes, it sold really really well, and I said oh, maybe Street Fighter 5 can come over Sony kind of played for console exclusivity With that game so the chance to see the Street Fighter 5 on switch at least anytime soon Is not going to happen But there is still a chance of resident evil 7 resident evil 7 does not have any console exclusivity Contracts there is not you know Sony and Microsoft or you know a steam or anyone is not paying for any exclusive rights to this game So and we saw rumors in the past that Capcom was testing Resident Evil 7 on Nintendo switch before it came out and they were able to kind of sort of get the game running now Whether or not they plan to bring it to switch Entirely or they were just seeing what the hardware is capable of we don't know And while Capcom has recently stated that they have several switch version of game titles in development That doesn't necessarily mean that that includes resident evil 7 Essentially until they say resident evil 7 is coming to switch we can't make any assumptions that it is but Since resident evil 7 isn't coming out anytime soon We now have resident evil revelations and revelations to and I speaking from experience for the first game Which I played on 3ds revelations is really really good It is almost a return to form for the series at a time when Capcom was kind of fumbling around resident evil 5 Resident evil 6 were generally not well received and The revelations really felt like a callback to resident evil 4 and earlier and I really enjoyed it now I never completed it, which is why I'm excited to play it on switch now because one you know, there's upgrades to it's in 1080p It's gonna have better frame rates It's gonna have updated visuals and this is gonna be the most visually stunning version of the game to date They're also including You know a horde mode kind of thing for multiplayer That's that seems really really fun and I'm excited to experience this now I'm just talking about this mainly because I'm excited For resident evil in general I've always enjoyed a good horror game and well resident evil is kind of taking a turn to be more action-oriented than horror Almost in a left for dead kind of way were left for dead The original game had had its creepy moments, but by the time you get to left for dead 2 It was more action-oriented. I mean, let's be honest. See you don't get too scared in left for dead 2 But I'm really excited to see one of the better resident evil games and hopefully one of the better sequels to that Resident evil game coming to switch for relatively affordable price. I mean 1999 feels fair You know, this is kind of what I wish Skyrim would cost So I'm happy that Capcom is doing this and showing continued dedication to the platform Now I think because this isn't releasing at the same time as Xbox one and PlayStation 4 That this kind of lends itself to the idea that They didn't decide to port this game to switch until at some point this year So say they were working on this port starting late last year even early this year Switch was probably not included in those original plans Which is why it slated to release at some point before the end of the year while the Xbox one and PlayStation 4 versions are coming this month And I know that there's a lot of people that feel like Capcom has always been supportive of the switch And they're always going to continue to be supportive of the switch and that Street Fighter 2 had Absolutely nothing to do with Capcom and their dedication to the switch platform I feel like this almost kind of Goes against that mentality the mentality that Capcom didn't care about the sales of Street Fighter 2 when it came to their support of the platform I I know that there was a misquote and I kind of Followed that misquote myself about how Capcom was basing the support of the switch on the sales of Ultra Street Fighter 2 And I realized that that technically like that public remark didn't mean what it's what what it was translated as But again, that doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. That's just not what they publicly stated, right? We don't know behind closed doors how Capcom is determining anything But what we do know is that outside of Monster Hunter It was hardly guaranteed that Capcom was going to keep supporting the Nintendo switch In fact the announcement of Ultra Street Fighter 2 Did feel like dipping your toes in the water kind of thing where you're just seeing you know with a really cheap Exclusive version of Street Fighter if it could sell on the platform And this is just me as an onlooker, you know when you look at revelations again It's another old port that's going to be the quote-unquote best version of the game revelations 2 obviously as well it's Showing the trend of Capcom where they're still testing the waters, right? They are not willing to at least come out in state fully that hey our Monster Hunter worlds is coming to switch or that and this assumes that Monster Hunter worlds can come to switch I know that there there was rumors out there That Sony kind of ponied up quite a bit of money to ensure it would never come to switch And they didn't care if it came to Xbox one because Xbox one has zero audience in Japan But their idea was they didn't want it going to Nintendo's platform So that they could increase PlayStation 4 sales in Japan and from a marketing perspective that that kind of makes sense especially since Sony has more inroads in the west and they're trying to make even more inroads, you know out east and Having a game that could potentially could be popular in both markets Not be on a platform that people would rather probably play it on in switch in Japan. Anyways Is to Sony's benefit because it's not gonna help Xbox one really at all now Moving beyond that we obviously have to consider that People don't know if games are gonna sell on the switch third parties have no history of Success beyond so far these older porting games and I'm okay with the trend of porting old games Especially if they're high-quality ports that doesn't bother me. I would love to see heck Grand Theft Auto 5 I would love to see that brought over. It's one of the top-selling games of all time at this point And it is not on switch and for anyone who thinks it can't run on switch Did they forget that Grand Theft Auto 5 originally released on the Xbox 360 in the PlayStation 3? I think people have short-term memory with this stuff Grand Theft Auto 5 can run on worse hardware than the switch. Yes, the Xbox 360 and place. I'm sorry Yeah, and PlayStation 3 are both worse hardware wise then the Nintendo switch So that's not get into. Oh my gosh The switch can't run this game that originally released on platforms that were even worse and run on PCs that run worse than the switch So I'm I'm not concerned the Grand Theft Auto 5 can run on switch if they wanted to but I'm excited This is kind of where the direction is going with their party games I hope that I'm never gonna tell you go buy a game that you don't want if you don't if you're interested in Resident Evil You you already own revelations And revelations to it doesn't mean you should go out and buy this game But I am hoping that the games personally from my perspective sell well Because I think it will help Capcom convince them that hey look we have a crowd for Resident Evil on this platform now is the time to hit it with Resident Evil 7 and That is something I really want to see happen You know, I know a lot of people think Capcom doesn't have any good games anymore Have you looked at their library of games? They still make they still have some high-quality IP and some solid games Resident Evil being one of them. So I am excited Again, I don't know if Capcom is still testing the waters But this feels like another testing the waters moment, even though it's coming to Xbox one And placing and PlayStation 4, but I'm excited. I'm glad Capcom is doing this I hope this is a sign that more third parties are gonna consider doing this because this is a game I think is going to end up selling well. I think this game is going to do extremely well on switch Just like I think Skyrim is gonna perform surprisingly well on switch as well I'm hoping you know the games that are kind of my question marks are obviously FIFA and NBA 2k 18 Because there's sports titles and I don't know how many sports fans own a switch I know I personally am gonna buy at least NBA 2k 18, but I don't know how many other people are gonna do that I guess we'll find out when the games release. Won't we? Anyways, this is Nathaniel Rufflejans from Nintendo Prime.
