Capcom is bringing Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4 to the Switch in May, it has revealed.
The three games will hit the eShop on May 21st. In North America, there will be the option to purchase Zero and RE1 in a box under the title Resident Evil Origins Collection, but in Europe no mention has been made of a physical copy β which would suggest they will be digital exclusives, but we'd love to be proven wrong on that score.
The original game will be the HD Remaster version, which is based on the GameCube remaster from what back when. Resident Evil Zero was a GameCube exclusive for a time, as was the fourth entry, and they've all been re-released on the Wii in the past. Now we'll get the chance to experience the horror in portable form.
That still means we have a Resident Evil 2-sized hole in our library (and space for Resident Evil 3, of course), but it should be more than enough zombie-slaying action for most people. Which are you looking forward to playing the most?

Not interested. I have them already on other systems. Why is it that RE 2 and 3 receive a different treatment and only now are being re-released for modern systems, but in remake form? I want the original 2 and 3, too expensive on Dreamcast and other systems to be acquired now.
Day 1 for 4! Great news
Large games like this really deserve retail releases. Itβs one thing to relegate a game a gig or so in size to download-only, but the Switch has terrible storage limitations and was never meant to be digital-only.
Day one RE4. Double dip for me
Might even get the RE HD remaster... I had it for a short while on GCN, but didn't get into it due to the old-school gameplay. Worth a revisit, perhaps?
Zero and 4 definitely buy for me
Man, this is a good day for release date announcements, huh? Iβll be picking up 4 for sure, but probably not the other two. Weβll see.
Is anyone really arguing that zero is an RE classic?
E-shop only? I want cartridges
Well it's not all 3 and it's missing re4 but hey it's something!
RE0 and RE1 coming to retail!

I just noticed it only said NA...I really hope that they do this for EU too for you guys over seas :/
ReMayke!
A lot of rereleases this month that Iβm looking forward to.
How often were you able to play this game in your closet, under your bed, or any other hidingplace?
what about resident evil 2 remake π?
Damn! Damn! April, May and June will be really hard months If I didn't break my credit card, I would be in bankrupt very soon.
@Nintendrone This is why I wish the switch had a bit more kick to it.
That, KH3, Nier, and other 3rd party titles can come to the console without the need to downgrade.
@liljmoore KH3 even struggles on PS4 and Xbox One so that's just poor coding I guess (the game runs at 720p on the Xbox and 900p on the PS4 and struggles on both to hold 30fps, remember that)
So unless the game will get a huge downgrade I doubt we will ever get a Switch port.
As long as they donβt charge over $20 a pop Iβm in!
I'm preordering 4! A game changer for the industry as a whole!
@Rayquaza2510 KH3 was clearly rushed. In everything. I'm pretty a Final Mix is coming later down the rode and most likely Nintendo has the Switch XL Or Super Switch ready.
What about in Japan? Will they release physically?
@Moroboshi876 to be fair: the version of RE1 we getting everywhere is also a remake, it just happens to be more faithful to the original format, but itβs still not the campy glorious original.
For the most part, PS1 games tend to age like milk, and few publishers want to re-release them.
@aznable They did add a modern control set up option when they rereleased the game for PS3/PS4/360/XBONE, so you might get on better with this version.
Crazy how long it took an HD remaster of a GameCube game to return to a Nintendo console.
Whatever. Portable REmake! Hopefully Resi4 supports gyro aiming, too.
@Rayquaza2510 it targets 60 fps on those consoles but is far from locked. You can lock it to 30fps which it does maintain but it has poor frame pacing which makes it stutter much like FFXV suffered with but it looks worse on this game
@Moroboshi876 replayed 2 on my dreamcast and i can see why they are remaking it...the controls are horrific for today standards....
I haven't played any of these games in ages. Switch seems like a great place to revisit them.
I'll definitely pick up the remake of 1 and maybe number 4 even if the Wii version will always be king. As for Zero it's pretty good even if the story is a bit rubbish and makes Rebecca look a complete idiot in the first game. As others have said I'd love to see the original 3 games appear at some point in all of their blocky glory
Ahhh! Can't wait. Definitely getting zero and 1 on the cart..maybe after i finish those two I'll grab 4
Of course, some of the remakes on the Wii, well: practically all of them except for Resident Evil 4, were turned into on-rails shooters, so you can't really say that they already released the GameCube versions of RE1 and Zero on the Wii. Here's hoping that this will be the ACTUAL GameCube versions, and not the Wii on-rails shooters...
If they don't have motion based aiming that works perfectly I'm going to pass. RE4 Wii Edition ruined all RE games for me. The IR aiming was so precise it really got me into the feeling of it being a survival game because every bullet had a much higher chances of being a headshot.
@Damo May want to update the article with this other tweet they put out.
https://twitter.com/RE_Games/status/1100064351631929347
We still need Resident Evil 2, 3, Code Veronica X, 5, 6 and 7 for Switch. C'mon Capcom you got 6 games to go, you're getting there.
@BensonUii Not Resident Evil 2 or 7
@Tharsman Yeah, but I'll always hold my Saturn -yes, it was on Saturn too!- Resident Evil dear. I would like to be capable to play 2 and 3 polished if you want, but not that deep remake they did.
@ThanosReXXX
Neither Zero or RE1 were rail shooters on the Wii they were straight NGC ports. The Umbrella Chronicles games were rail shooters.
So, no retail release for RE4 in NA, I see...
Capcom must be the laziest developer of all time on the Switch. Only cheap ports of old games with little to no efforts put into them. π
Yes - Ready for more Resident Evil on the go!
0 and Remake are my favorites! Can't wait to play them on the Switch!
If they run at 60fps I'll be tempted to bite!
@Rayquaza2510 that game could defo have done with another 6-12 months development tbh, just to tidy things up
@ThanosReXXX they were re-released on the Wii, i assume you're thinking of those Umbrella Chronicles games
@thesilverbrick yeah but, kinda gotta place blame on Nintendo here. Those carts.... questionable decision.
@CaPPa Really? I must be confusing them, then. I have the on-rails shooters, and far as I can remember, it certainly seems that quite a few parts of these games are similar to the other two games, so it would seem like they were heavily inspired by them.
I'm planning to grab the two pack, since I don't have any console versions for them. I will probably get RE4 once it goes on sale since I have the Wii version of it already.
Two Guilty Gear games, three Resident Evil games, Saints Row The Third... what a month. :3
As for the comments here, "KH3 was clearly rushed" sounds like the phrase of the week.
Content to play these on my Gamecube, as they all carry that vibe. What I want are the Resident Evil's that have never appeared on a Nintendo console...RE's 5-7. I mean, 5 is a decade old, and 6 seven years. The Switch could handle them. This actually feels a bit insulting.
It's not every day that I want motion controls on a game BUT I WANT IT ON RE4 godamn'it !
Capcom won't see my money until they bring something new.
Resident Evil 4 is the best game of all time. No contest! Get in!
Nah, I'd rather want new expierences, not feeling this. Hopefully new entries on Nintendo Switch won't be held at ranson at how these old titles perform...
"We don't want old games"
"WHERE IS THE VC?!!"
Like always.
Leon or Jill will be Smash DLC around that time.
@MrBlacky Not quite... Okami on Switch in great on handheld.
This is amazing news <3
Why has none mentioned Code Veronica? It's the best game in the series by far.
I hope 4 gets a physical release!
Will definitely be buying 1 and 4. Wasn't a fan of Zero due to the mechanics of the game. Actually I've not played zero since it's initial release back in 2002 so i may actually pick this up too
Zer0 and 1 is what I'm interested in, is zer0 also remastered? Couldn't decipher that in the text above..
Yes a physical RE Collection on switch!
Speaking of horror games, I'd like to see the Silent Hill games remastered for the Switch. Resident Eve is a nice addition to my Switch collection ofcourse but SH is better in my opinion
They sure do love resident evil 4.
Never played 4, really looking forward to trying it out.
@zever
Damn right silent hill 1 IMO is the best survival horror game
4 is Awesome. One of my favorite games from that generations for sure. I'm not sure if I'll buy it though.
The other two have tank controls so I will skip most likely. That was something I never got used to.
Awesome that they are being released on the switch but I already own them on PC and don't feel like double dipping on these games.
@dkxcalibur You're older now, try again! REmake is too good to skip just because you give up on learning the controls!
RE4 absolutely amazing the GameCube version was and still is fantastic. Playing this Beauty on Switch will be even better:)
I'd love #3. I found the original really tense but not much else, 2 had a cheap scare when the Licker bursts through the window, but it was #3 that got my heart beating every time Nemesis turned up. O man that freaked me out every time without fail!
Itβs Capcom and classic ports, so of course itβs May. Wait til October, theyβll be at least 50% off then...
@thesilverbrick canβt argue that I picked up a 256gb card days after getting a switch at launch. Also going to say that both my ps3 and 4 needed larger then launch size hard drives, as did my every pc I have owned, and the GameCube and Wii has memory cards/sd cards, my ds has an sd card, my n64 has an expansion pack etc... so just get over it. And I need to offload apps to update hearthstone on my iPhone.
I'd probably pick them up. I never played REmake. I played the original.
Kind of bursts my bubble a bit. Capcom has been releasing so much of their back catalogue physically (Okami, Onimusha, Beat'em Up Bundle, etc) that I was hoping they'd do the same for the RE games. Oh well, the release is still a few months away, so there may yet be a physical release.
Any word if RE4 will have motion control or HD rumble? That's the only thing that would make me re-buy that game for the 4th time.
I really wish they'd release the original RE2 as well, I didn't like the remake.
So.... I must asume this is One of those situations where we get one game on the cartridge and a code for a dowload for the other one as usual?
No thanks. I own enough copies of all three of those game but I absolutely support this and LOVE that tweet. Hate Twitter though.
@ThanosReXXX I don't think you can count the light gun games as the same games. They're not. It's a separate game entirely encompassing the events of the earlier games.
Cool... in a way. Will RE0 get an HD lick of paint or be just a straight port? I'm likely going to play it either way, but it would be nice... (This is Capcom we're talking about here...)
So the US gets a choice of physical or digital. We get digital or nothing.
Yeah, thanks Capcom.
You won't be at all bothered how much we have to spend on the huge cost of memory cards while you're sitting up there in your ivory towers are you? And even importing them will cost a vastly larger amount than it should.
No thanks, I'd rather keep my money and spend it on something else.
Need RE 2 as well
Done own them on both Ps4 and Xbox one. But if RE4 has the motion controls like the Wii Version had I will pick it up day one.
@hihelloitsme
What else could they have gone for though?
Couldn't ever get in to resident evil really. The crimson heads ruined it for me in the RE remake. I liked zero when I was younger back on the cube but never finished it. Completed 5 in co OP which was pretty fun but that's about it.
@LUIGITORNADO Yeah... guess I kinda was, probably because of them retelling the story, so as someone who already played the regular games, it was more like a walk down memory lane than an actually new game, aside from the on-rails mechanics, obviously.
So, that's probably also what brought me to my initial conclusion...
The fact that they've confirmed the physical release is 'Origins' all but confirms that it won't feature a download code.
On all other platforms, Origins isn't a merchandising phrase but the title for the software itself. RE Zero and One are actually compiled into a single software package, where the user selects which game they wish to play upon booting. In other words, the titles do not execute separately on the format.
This is great news, and shouldn't come as a surprise. I'm a little bummed that 4 won't have a physical release to complete the collection, but I'll take the original two physical any day.
@Medic_alert They have separate icons because the Xbox firmware supports it, but the two games are still compiled into the same software. The icons you speak of are akin to the shortcuts on a Windows desktop.
Here is Origins on the PS4; note the boot screen at the beginning for an example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuugTHu2X_Y&t=498s
Will RE4 have motion controls? I hope it does, I loved that game on Wii. Even though I already own 0 and REmake on Gamecube and 4 on Wii, I will be grabbing these.
RE4 Blew my mind on PS2 (or was it ps3?) but I donβt think I ever finished it. Hoping it holds up ok in 2019 as Iβd love to give it another go.
1 and 4 will come over my Switch eventually FOR SURE! So good games, can't be missed. I'll love to play them both again, specially in portable.
I'll buy them all if they have pointer controls likes Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition!
This is all part of Capcom's master plan to get RE4 on every console imaginable.
This is some of the best gaming news as of recently. Ever since the GameCube release of RE1 Iβve been wanting to play it again (no longer have a GameCube) Iβve held out sale after sale after sale on PS4, almost taking the bait a few times. Boy am I glad I waited; something was saying WAIT each and every time. I am going to be so happy to be able to have these on the Switch and on the go now. Absolutely getting the physical release of this too. Letβs see if we get them both on one card or one as a download and one as a physical... going to be interesting to see how Capcom handles this!
There seems to be a typo in the press release, as they mention three masterpieces. It should read "two masterpieces and RE Zero".
I'll be getting all three titles. While Ive played all three, I only own Re4 on Wii. It'll be really nice playing these on the go.
@Wavey84 Gyro controls for handheld mode would be cool! I agree with the ugly white reticule. A red dot would have been better or they could have even implemented unlockable ones.
@thesilverbrick My Switch is 100% digital-only. Iβve been going strong like that since launch. What are these βterrible storage limitationsβ youβre talking about?
I can just buy a bigger SD card whenever I need to. Itβs a lot more convenient than having 60+ cases and game cards. I only wish I went all-digital on 3DS and Vita too, but itβs too late for that now.
So yet another import for me...
RE4 needs the Overtime ending or I'm not interested.
@hihelloitsme What was the alternative? You canβt exactly put a spinning disc drive into a portable console and expect it to remain a handheld or for the battery to last more than a couple minutes. Game cards were a necessity.
@imgrowinglegs Itβs not exactly simple to keep buying larger SD cards when they cost more than the Switch itself in some cases.
4 is worthy of owning again. Last time I got it, it was on PS3... and its not hooked up. I hope its physical though. I still need to get the new RE2, but I got enough to play.
I shall be buying those. RE4 is my favorite of all time! To be able to play that ANYWHERE... heavenβΊ
At this point I am surprised RE4 is not just beamed directly into my skull.
Physical copies only in North America? anyone know an import site with reasonable prices?
@BensonUii More Capcom ports welcome. I am looking at you, Disney Afternoon Collection.
the GC remaster of RE1 is fantastic and one of my fave ever releases on the cube. I'm getting all 3 for sure.
Have them on Cube wii and ps3.... will for sure get them on switch!
So I guess 4 isn't coming out physical then. Oh well, I'm still excited to play these on Switch.
Never played this series. Might check 4 out.
whatever is digital im sure i will find a physical copy on playasia
@Edu23XWiiU
You are preordering a download only game. Afraid Capcom is going to run out of bits on release day?...
Iβll triple dip on Resident Evil 4, I love that game. Iβm reluctant to double dip even on Nintendo First Party games, but Iβve bought RE4 on GameCube, Wii Edition and I hope Switch Edition will be the best of the bunch. Canβt wait.
This is awesome! Resident Evil, (and it's doppelgΓ€nger Luigi's Mansion) is my favourite game.
Been waiting for news on these. Can't wait to play them for the first time.
That article mentions RE 1 and 0 will get a physical release in North America. Will RE4 get one as well?
Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil HD and Resident Evil 0 are all gonna be plugged into my Switch day one of release. Bring it on, baby. β€οΈππ¦
We take this for granted all to often nowadays, but imagine getting these games in full console quality on the 3DS, or even the Vita...
Gosh dang I love the current gen era we're in. Every single release on Switch feels like winning the lottery
getting resident evil origins physical and resident evil 4 on switch day one. I thought these were classics even though some of you don't think so.
If both games are on the cartridge in the collection Iβll be buying it. Otherwise pass. Also does that mean RE4 will get its own box, or digital only?
Can someone please explain to me why people are upset that these games are coming to Switch? If you don't want them, just don't buy them. I don't see any reason to be upset by their presence on the platform.
I canβt even imagine how many different versions of RE4 I have! But Iβm likely to buy it again on Switch especially if it goes retail! π
@Moroboshi876 I own resident 0,1,2,3,4 and Code Veronica on gamecube ... Only last year I got 2,3 and CV and I paid like Β£30 for all and they were like new lol
Meh, I already bought all three on both the GameCube and the Wii so I'll be waiting for a Resident Evil 7 or Resident Evil 2 Remake port unless they add a significant amount of new content to make the old games that I've already played through a dozen times over worth buying yet again.
Urgh, no physical for Europe again ! getting sick of this Capcom, guess i'll have to import 1/0 like i did Revelations 1/2 but then you can't add the gold points to your main account which sucks.
As long as they are physical I will get them. And for Trolls whining not my problem.
@Heavyarms55 haha exactly. It's the equivalent of being starved but getting bent out of shape when someone cooks you a home made meal
I already own RE4 on GameCube, PS2, Wii, iPhone, PC, PS3, PS4 and as a Steam download...guess one more wouldnβt hurt
Please be Physical
Please be Physical
Please be Physical
Please Please PLEASE be Physical!
I wish companies Would STOP making digital only games. Not everyone has space to download everything or wants a digital game! If they can put crappy ass B grade games on cart they can put AAA blockbusters on cart
I'll only buy these if there is a physical release at least somewhere in the world. I didn't buy these on Wii back in the day because I suspected that I wouldn't play them, but if I can play them on the go? That's a definite day one buy. It's a hard pass if they're digital only though. I only downloaded Revelations 2 because I had enough gold coins (after a discount), but I would immediately delete it and double dip on a physical copy if it were to ever come over.
I bought 4 on Wii but never actually played it. It would be cool if they brought over Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles as well as they were quite cool with the gun accessory (and fun in multiplayer).
Horror games aren't my jam. I've got 2 on N64 and 4 on GC. Barely made any progress in either and gave up in frustration. Good thing I got them both for free.
Although the 2 remake fixed the terrible controls.
@NintyNate 30 each? And still you were lucky. I've been watching them for nearly 10 years.
@BensonUii Still waiting on ports for Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe.
LOL calm down, zero is hardly a masterpiece
They should really consider that Devil May Cry HD Trilogy for Switch. And if they want to be in a wish-granting sort of mood, some sort of RE Outbreak revival. HD ports, reboot, whatever.
Very nice, some of the very best games ever, RE Remake and RE4, for the first time fully handheld in HD
played RE:DS and RE4 a long time ago, but I wouldnβt mind replaying both on switch. Never played Zero, so thatβs likely to be my first purchase between them all.
RE0 is the only one getting a physical version though, REmake and RE4 are download only.
What a shambles at retail. Depressing. I'm going to wait for a huge discount before I buy these games digitally. I'm not supporting their half-assed attitude.
So I'm right in thinking these will be Wii versions rather than the RE remakes that came to the ps4 and xbox? I didn't like that version as every zombie you killed in RE came back to life as a crimson head and were alot harder to kill and could run. I didn't like that edition to the game.
I have all the RE games for Gamecube. After playing the crap out of 4 and 1 (which I previously played on Sega Saturn, of all systems), 2 and the parts of 3 that I played made me kind of sick of those games, so I never got around to playing 0. Seriously, why do people think RE2 is so good???
Great news! Very great news indeed
@Kidfunkadelic83
RE Remake for PS4 has the exact same game logic as the gamecube version...
RE Remake was never released on the Wii.
@thesilverbrick "You canβt exactly put a spinning disc drive into a portable console and expect it to remain a handheld"
Hmmm what's this Sony PSP thingy then?
Sorry I couldn't resist, I do agree that Nintendo were right with their cartridge solution but they should have given us more memory. Why not put a hard drive in that useless piece of plastic they call a dock? Have all of your games stored their and simply transfer them when needed
@RasandeRose Yes it was
Resident Evil (Wii) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0029LHOYI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_b2pDCbFHXHJ1F
@Jin15 yes but those gamecube versions are all locked 30fps. these will be 60fps. the way it was meant to. And graphics are better. Well your loss
@thesilverbrick
Limitations? Dude, micro SDβs are cheaper than ever before.
@RasandeRose so did the cube version turn all dead zombies in to crimsons then?
Extremely interested. I didn't finish some of the games when I was in college. Now on the go, I can all of them anywhere.
Absolutely getting it.
@Denoloco Seeing as a 1TB card costs $450 (1.5 times the cost of the Switch itself), Iβd say theyβre not exactly cheap enough.
So which version of Resident Evil 4 is it? Game cube, Wii or the HD one?
@thesilverbrick
I meant 128GB versions which currently offer the best bang for the buck. And considering Switch titles are significantly smaller size wise itβs a no brainer to get one. Mine was like 30β¬.
@Denoloco I have a 128GB card and despite my best efforts to buy physical games only when I can, itβs already nearly full. Thatβs just not enough storage. And I donβt want to delete software.
Resident Evil 4, getting bought for a 4th time.
@Moroboshi876 no!!! Β£30 for all! If you hint around you can get em
Great news. Can only hope that in time the whole series will make its way to the Switch. Holding out hope for the Devil May Cry HD collection to make its way over as well.
@Moroboshi876 the originals are playstation exclusive you can't take playstation ports and just put it on a nintendo exclusive system that would be a licensing issue. as for any remakes like RE2 it was never planned for the SWITCH when the project was already started long ago at some point for the PS4 and so on.
@Toastess I never said any of the things you are implying. I just complained about RE2 and 3 being remade instead of just remastered as the others have been, thus not appearing in this collection or previous that have been released for other systems.
As for the originals, well, RE1 certainly was not a PS exclusive. It was on Saturn too.
I am seriously considering picking these ports up. I rather love RE.
@Moroboshi876 hmmm, well i think remastering RE2 and RE3 would be pointless especially since RE1 received a remake which kind of counts as a remastered version off the original.
@Toastess I think there are more than enough examples of "exclusive" games appearing on other consoles for that to be a none issue. Not to mention Resident Evil 1 was on Saturn, RE2 was on N64, Dreamcast and GameCube then 3 was on Dreamcast and GameCube.
Like @Moroboshi876 I find it odd and disappointing that 2 and 3 are always omitted. I know 2 now has a remake (which is great by the way) but on current consoles 3 is the only game in the series not available, with 2 only just getting a remake and that only happened because fans tried to do it themselves
@carlos82 Thanks! At last someone who understands me!
Preorder at Gamestop : $59.99 for download games.
I keep my physical version of Resident Evil Origins Collection.
I bought it last year brand new 14.99β¬.
I like Capcom for their games but they can go to hell when it's about price on the Switch.
@Ponyo404 I just want to show my love for the game, and it's a El Gigante size of love!
@carlos82 i don't get what you're saying but, RE2 was remade cause it was an idea for the developers to make the game refreshed like that of RE1, also if you ask me @Moroboshi876 can always buy a PS VITA and buy and play RE2 and RE3 from the PSN. i don't know what hes complaining about really.
@Moroboshi876 i don't get why you even bothered to post saying you weren't interested in the games only to trigger a small argument.
@Toastess there was a famous fan remake of Resident Evil 2 in the Unreal engine a few years ago and that prompted Capcom to contact them to stop and they would then do a full remake themselves.
Also @Moroboshi876 point is valid as seemingly all of the current consoles have received the remake of 1, 0, Code Veronica, Resident Evil 4 and the two revelations games yet don't get 2 and 3. As I pointed out none of them are PS1 exclusives so there isn't any genuine reason I can think of and it leaves quite a big gap in the series and saying go buy a Vita is just a bit silly.
@Toastess For the reasons @carlos82 said. I wasn't looking for an argument. I just wanted to express a complaint based on the facts he also exposed.
@carlos82 just to be clear, i'm not talking about what games are exclusive or not in my previous comment, i already know about all that.
@carlos82 i also, the RE2 remake was made due to: "Capcom considered a similar remake of Resident Evil 2, but series creator Shinji Mikami did not want to divert development away from Resident Evil 4. In August 2015, Capcom announced that the remake was in development. No further details were released until E3 2018, when Capcom revealed a trailer and gameplay footage. Hideki Kamiya, director of the original Resident Evil 2, said that he had pushed Capcom to create the remake for years. Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi said the team was striving to capture the spirit of the original game." a fan game wasn't the cause.
Unless 3 games on cartridges in one package and sold for 49.99$, people won't be much interested
@Toastess apart from the fact that you even said that the originals were PlayStation exclusives, don't worry you're allowed to be mistaken and we all are from time to time.
As for the Resident Evil 2 remake, that announcement happened after they had contacted the fan made remake team to ask them to stop, their video was released about a month before that and about 6 months prior another RE2 remake was also shown but that one was much closer to the original game. I believe they even offered them the opportunity to work on the official remake, I'm not sure whether that actually happened though. Capcom may have considered it several times including for the GameCube but a remake then would have been completely different but not unwelcome and in my opinion at least, the fan made version prompted Capcom to do the remake when they did. Back in August 2015 they were hard at work with Resident Evil VII and actually building the RE engine that powers it and we didn't get so much as a screenshot for 3 years after that. Having finished RE2 I can see how much has been repurposed from Resident Evil VII which itself only came out 2 years ago not to mention it looks to have taken elements from that fan made remake itself with the gameplay looking very similar. So looking at all of this information I believe that Capcom were influenced by not just this remake but the others which which were floating around at the time.
i was very interested until i saw the price!!!!
