Capcom explains why it’s releasing three Resident Evil games at the same time on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
If you watched the most recent Nintendo Direct, you likely saw the news that Capcom is bringing not one, but three Resident Evil games to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year. The system will be getting Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem at the same time.
Capcom’s Masato Kumazawa has now spoken about what went into that decision as part of a recent interview. That discussion reveals that the company first prototyped Resident Evil Village on Nintendo Switch 2, and after seeing the positive results, wanted to try porting Requiem. Capcom felt the results there were also promising, and decided to throw in Resident Evil 7 as well. Having them all ready at the same time made sense for Capcom so that players could “just jump in” and start at 7 or with the series’ newest entry.

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: September 26, 2025
Developer: Now Production
Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
Pac-Man World Re-Pac was a huge surprise for dedicated fans of the franchise when it was first revealed in 2022. Pac-Man World was a big hit on the original PlayStation – it was remembered fondly for its charm, level design, and soundtrack – but most of all, it showed players that the IP could be more than your typical maze game. That remake was great and all, it gave hope that we’d see Bandai Namco revisit Pac-Man World 2, which is the fan favorite of the trilogy. 23 years later, here we are with a full remake that Pac-Man once thought was an impossibility with Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac.
