- Capcom was initially “skeptical” about Resident Evil Requiem’s performance on Nintendo Switch 2
- Director Koshi Nakanishi says Capcom “had to do a triple take” when they discovered how well it worked
- He adds: “Everything worked so well that we decided to go ahead with the game as is and adapt it to the system.”
Resident Evil Requiem Director Koshi Nakanishi has revealed that Capcom was initially “skeptical” about the game’s performance on Nintendo Switch 2, but was pleasantly surprised.
The next main line resident Evil The game finally launches this week and, along with the traditional PlayStation, Xbox and PC release, Requiem It will also come to Switch 2.
Requiem It is a graphically demanding game, so there have been questions about how well the game will run on the handheld at the time of release. At first Capcom also had the same doubts, according to the game director, but they were wrong because of the “ease” with which it was executed.
“The Nintendo Switch 2 system has improved graphical specifications, so we wondered if Requiem could run on it, and it did with ease,” Nakanishi said in a new episode of Creator’s Voice on YouTube.
“When we, the development team, first saw it in our hands, we were also skeptical, so we had to think three times.”

He continued: “We were like, ‘Oh, does this actually work on Nintendo Switch 2?’ Everything worked so well that we decided to go ahead with the game as is and make it for the system. With specs like these in handheld mode, it looks fantastic.”
TechRadar’s Josephine Watson previewed the demo Resident Evil Requiem and was also impressed by the Nintendo Switch 2’s performance, writing that “both first- and third-person perspectives were clear and crisp, cutscenes are fluid and suspenseful, and controls felt natural and comfortable – a good start.”
Resident Evil Requiem launches on February 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
