Topic: Resident Evil - Switch releases

Has anyone tried to get the Japanese Resident Evil 7 running on a non-Japanese Switch/outside of Japan? I understand it’s a streaming game so it may not be worth the trouble.

From what I hear it's quite unplayable.

You might be better off streaming from Steam to a phone or tablet and pretending it's a switch.

Any idea if it’s because of bad internet or because it’s a bad idea?

It's jut the logistics of it. The game expects you to be in Japan, with Japanese-quality internet.

Being on the other side of the world just kinda works agaisnt it.

Re6: 2 Chapters in with Leon's campaign. I actually really love the action the game has. Ample ammo and mowing down zombies is what I signed up for. Great time thus far.

Yeah RE 6 is still a solid well made game. It just got crapped all over because i guess people were starting to really miss the old style by then. That's why RE7 switched back to the more classic feel. I hear RE 8 is going to be more action heavy so here we go again. The fans are going to either love it or hate it but probably nobody will be 100% satisfied.

It's just one of those series where very few of the games are legitimately bad... It's just that it fluctuates so radically. You're either suplexing zombies and punching boulders left and right, or you're stuck in a room because your gun only has ten bullets and you're afraid to come out.

RE7 is a funny case, because it starts as a rather intense survival horror game, but gradually becomes an action game as you move along.

I don't think I've ever seen the Resident Evil franchise summed up so perfectly, haha

Yeah, RE Origins is one of those painful Capcom releases. RE Remake's Japanese file size is 16GB, so technically Capcom could have offered it as it's own singular retail release rather than coupled in a half physical, half digital release with RE0. And yet, oddly enough, the North American file size is 17GB.

I'm not sure why or how the file size increased from region to region? Both versions of the release support the same language options. Whatever the case, since the NA release is 17GB, Capcom couldn't put all of RE Remake on the cartridge, so Capcom opted to put RE0 on the cartridge instead.

Oh well, at least all of RE4 is on the cartridge for the RE Triple Pack.
