Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 Remakes Compared on Switch 2 for Performance and Visuals
Capcom’s ports run well on Nintendo’s new console, but missing motion and mouse controls leave the collection short of its best handheld potential.
- This week, Capcom released the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes for the Nintendo Switch 2, marking a significant technical achievement for the developer's RE Engine on a portable platform.
- Known for moody lighting and detailed environments, the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes are cinematic titles that have become modern benchmarks for the survival horror genre.
- While the games perform well, the collection lacks gyro aiming in Resident Evil 2 and 3, and Resident Evil 4 restricts motion controls to horizontal movement only, limiting vertical precision.
- Capcom producer Masato Kumazawa stated the team attempted to implement mouse control support, but found it "confused the gameplay and became too complicated" for the remakes' design.
- For players yet to experience these remakes, the Nintendo Switch 2 serves as a compelling entry point, though the lack of console-specific features prevents them from feeling truly optimized for the hardware.
