Depends on the team porting the games, as Doom and Wolfenstein 2 didn't suffer much at all and play great on the Switch.

Doom didn't suffer?

Low res textures everywhere, just managing to keep 30fps, playing it on a PC with ultra textures then going to this low res version, is like night and day, I will say they done well to get it where it's at, but I suppose it's a matter of opinion.

On which console do you play with ultra like quality?

No physical for Europe, typical Capcom.
Seems to only happen with the Switch versions of everything (Mega Man 11, the Revelations games, Okami).

Sadly the switch will not get them. They were created with current gen in mind. Re2 remake would have to be compromised a lot.

They should still put out a 2 if they're gonna bother porting these to the Nintendo Portbox at all, even if just the original version. It was pretty much THE RE out of the originals. And there is precedence with RE original ported to the DS after REmake on the GC.

3, meh, I mean at least it's not 5/6, but it's nothing special.

No physical in EU? Import it, portbox is region free.

They skipped 2 and 3, but hopefully they also get ported.
Only the fans will keep wishing, remember the fans wishing re7 to be ported..... never happened because the switch lacks the hardware.

Re2 runs using the same engine and yup switch again fails to provide what's required to play todays AAA titles.

Guess Nintendo fans will have to put up with yup cube ports.

Screw this I wanted is RES 2 Remake, I thought it would come out to the Switch, ended up playing it in the PC instead.

I skip all the others as I already finished them and RES4 and RES5 I finished twice or more...

Id MUCH rather see Call of Cthulu, Dark Corners of thr Earrh, and Eternal Darkness HD any day. Res Evil is more comic boom action with Horror elements than Horror adventure.

The reason 7 cannot port I think due to graphic or hardware requirement. If 7 cannot play then remakes of 2 and 3 will not as well.

Resident evil 2 remake space/storage was cut down a lot it is possible to port ONLY if reach hardware requirement

Really not a fan of 0 and 4, so I might just pick up 1 and hope for more RE games.

How come I’m reading switch can’t handle the graphics of re7.what makes it different from streaming and a physical or digital copy. If the switch could stream it, doesn’t that mean it can handle the game. I’m not really understanding this.

Because the game is running on pc, everything is being handled by the pc, all the switch is doing is receiving and playing a video and sending button inputs over the net. It's the same thing as a steam link.
The switch isn't doing anything, its not rendering anything, its just playing a video.
