With the Resident Evil franchise rapidly approaching its 30th anniversary in 2026, chances are you've gotten pretty familiar with Capcom's survival horror series by now. If somehow you've not, a newly released trailer titled 'Ode to Horror: A Celebration of Resident Evil' will at least provide an abstract snapshot of what kind of experience you're in for should you decide to dive in.
In addition to this, Capcom has also provided some heavy discounts to the series on Nintendo Switch, knocking up to 75% off both mainline and spin-off entries (including a few cloud versions, which we'll make clear in the list below).
If you're keen on trying out the series but aren't quite sure which to purchase first, you might want to check out our list of the very best Resident Evil games on Nintendo systems. Of course, another solid route would be to approach the series in chronogical order; through a mixture of original titles and remakes, you can experience the entire mainline series on Switch from Resident Evil 0 all the way through to Resident Evil: Village.
So, let's enter the survival horror and see what's on offer...

Cloud versions with high discounts are still a NO from me. I'll patiently await those remakes release on the Switch successor. However, I might bite and get RE4, or REmake.
Nice for people who want to get into the Halloween vibes!
Personally I’m not interested in cloud versions, so I’ll wait and hope Village will land in physical format on Switch 2 sometime.
I was only playing Resident Evil 4 Remake last night on the hardest difficulty and I swear Zombies seem to teleport into a grab even when you're nowhere near them. It's just awful tbh due to how inconsistent it can be.
Lol at that trailer!
Still not a fan of horror, but as mentioned before I want to at least give some games in the genre a try, absolutely including Resident Evil ones so if I can I might get some of them thanks to these discounts (apart from the Cloud Versions, no thanks to those)!
Great Trailer lol. I've been seeing "You are Dead" a lot during my current Playthrough of Resident Evil 4 Remake and I'm tempted to just play the original at this point either the normal way or in VR.
@JohnnyMind You might enjoy the more action-focused gameplay from 4, 5, and 6 then. They certainly have elements of horror, but it takes a bit of a backseat compared to the original trilogy. 5 and 6 are better if you have someone with which to play co-op.
Resident evil 0 is a fantastic game. The opening train sequence is as good as any beginning in the series and I totally recommend it. Definitely worth 10 bucks.
cant wait All Re Engine Resident Evil on new switch
@Olliemar28 Yep, if there's one Resident Evil game I absolutely have to try it's 4 considering that and also that it's just a great game in general based on all I've seen and heard. Thanks for the recommendation!
Heavy discounts? Aren't these standard prices at this point?
They're already on GoG, but I'd love to see Capcom bring out the PS1 versions of 1 2 and 3 to modern consoles — the remakes are ace, but there's a real charm to those originals.
@JohnnyMind I'm not really a fan of horror either but last Halloween I tried Resident Evil (the remake on Switch) for the first time and absolutely loved it. I love Metroid and Zelda games and as weird as it might sound RE gave me big metroidvania vibes. Just mixed with the survival aspect of limited resources. It has difficulty options too so you can start on easy like I did to get to know the game (I went on to do multiple playthroughs). I highly recommend it.
I'm planning on playing RE4 for the first time this Halloween. I've heard good things so I'm excited to try it out.
I mean, cool, but those are like the standard sale prices which happen like every two weeks.
@chiptoon you are correct. I visit deku deals regularly and it’s weirder for them to be at full price they are almost always on “sale”
Quite the mildly amusing trailer there.
@FlyingDunsparce The classic Resident Evil games have always given me such an impression and that's one of the reasons why I want to at least give them a try at some point, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me!
So those discounts will be on Halloween then? Cause I still see RE4 Remake not discounted on Steam (and I've been waiting for decent discount to get it).
I just bought the Resident Evil Three Pack physical the other day, but now I think I need 1. This will be my first time playing Resident Evil—and first horror game, at that—and I’m really excited.
@RudyC3 According to dekudeals, the sale ends Nov 1 (but again, they'll be back on sale for this much in no time)
Resident Evil 4 is the best game ever made.
That's all.
“Adorable” and “Resident Evil” are not words I expect to see in the same sentence.
Oh man that ending to Resident Evil Village. As the father of a 9 month old girl I definitely had a tear in my eye
Really wish they’d put out the original Resident Evil 2 and 3 titles on the Switch. I’d play the remakes, but I don’t want cloud versions.
How was this adorable
Do not buy the cloud versions, they are garbage.
I also would say to buy RE1 Remake and 0 on Steam, the versions on Switch have issues, ESPECIALLY 0 HD.
@AdolBannings-Laylee Not on Switch. That version is dogwater.
@Olliemar28 You just reminded me to get a buddy to play 5 and 6 with, once again!
@JohnnyMind hello! i would highly recommend giving the games a go. I personally thought i didnt care for horror until i tried the re2 remake, and now I'm a big fan! perhaps try re4, because imo its one of the best in the series, and it isnt very scary.
@Hee-ho-master Definitely will try at the very least RE4 when I can, thanks for the recommendation!
I really wish RE0 would get a remake-- I've tried and tried to play RE0 in recent years, but I just can't enjoy it like I'd like to. A lil QoL would go a long way to better enjoyment. At 50% off, it looks like I may have to pick up the other 2 games in the "action horror" series, 5 and 6-- Been putting them off forever (though I'm not a fan of "team" REs too much). Revelations 1 I highly recommend-- It balanced the action RE games and classic games well.
I played RE1R last year with a walkthrough, it was still surprisingly fun, esp as someone who played the Wii version as a kid and didn't get past the mansion, super fun seeing all the different locales. Highly recommend.
Off topic-this year it's Silent Hill 2 remake and I'm so glad Konami has finally done something SO right.
@ChromaticDracula My partner's REALLY into Leon in the remake, I know he would expect to see the two words together lmao.
These seem like their regular discounts. If RE4 drops down to $4.99 sometime, I'll grab it again. I already have it on Gamecube and Wii. I think it is an amazing game, but I have such a back catalog as it is.
For anybody else who also plays on Playstation the games are even cheaper on Playstation store right now than. £3.99 for Resi 4, 5, 6
@Chlocean LOL I stand corrected!
These games tend to be much more heavily discounted on other platforms and have better performance.
