Capcom opened the official Switch website for Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 today. File sizes for both games are included on the page.

First up, Resident Evil Revelations requires 13GB of free space. Resident Evil Revelations 2 doubles that at 26GB. With the second game, since it won’t fit within Switch’s internal memory, a separate microSD card will be needed if you intend to purchase the game.

Capcom is releasing Resident Evil Revelations Collection on Switch later this year. Japan is getting something similar, but also planned is a standalone retail version of the first entry as well.

Meanwhile, below are screenshots of both games on Switch:

Following several other developers and publishers, Capcom has now also revealed its lineup of games for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, which starts in two weeks (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). Capcom isn’t bringing a whole lot of games in general, and only three that are on Nintendo systems – Monster Hunter Stories, to showcase its 1.2 update, and both Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Switch, all of which will be playable on the show floor.

Nintendo and Capcom sadly decided against bringing the Monster Hunter Stories amiibo west. However, all of the figures from Japan work with the game, and can be used to unlock special Monstie eggs. IGN shows them all off below.

Early information out of this week’s Famitsu reveals a Japanese release date for Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Switch. Both are slated for November 30.

In the west, Capcom will likely be offering Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 at around the same time. The company intends to publish both games at retail under the name Resident Evil Revelations Collection. The first game will be included on a cartridge, but Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a digital download.

YouTuber Slippy Slides has stumbled upon an interesting Easter Egg in Resident Evil 4. Some sort of mystery person is hidden away in one of the game’s areas, and he’s pretty tough to see normally.

Slippy Slides messed around with Resident Evil 4 a bit and managed to place the camera in a spot that shows this person in a slightly more clearer light. Yet even after that, the model is rather blurry. After going through the game’s files, Slippy Slides found out that it’s actually a 2D texture. Was it a developer who worked on the project way back in the day? Or something else entirely?

Amazon has a pre-order bonus for Monster Hunter Stories. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive the “Rider Set” comprised of four different monsters. Each one is pictured above.

You can place an order Monster Hunter Stories on Amazon here. Amazon will provide the DLC for all buyers who pre-order through September 8.

Tying in with the launch of Monster Hunter XX for Switch, Capcom prepared a special console bundle. See it unboxed below.

Monster Hunter XX - Nintendo Switch

Monster Hunter XX launched for Switch in Japan on August 25. Through August 27, Media Create reported that it sold just over 84,000 copies. The sales tracker has more on the game’s performance.

According to Media Create, Monster Hunter XX on Switch sold through 48.95 percent of its initial shipment. That’s lower than Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U, which transitioned from 3DS. The Wii U game sold 106,388 units in its first week and sold through 69.82 percent of its initial shipment.

Capcom released the first trailer for the new 3DS version of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, due out later this year in the west and Japan. View it below.
