News Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 On Switch Make Use Of The Joy-Con IR Camera And amiibo
Motion controls also supported
Remember the IR camera on the Switch Joy-Con?

Thankfully, not everyone has forgotten about it - Capcom is using the camera in Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 to...

News There's Another Resident Evil CGI Movie in Development
V for Vendetta
As some of you may be aware, the Resident Evil series has had some extensive forays into films.
