Early reviews for Resident Evil Requiem on Nintendo Switch 2 are broadly positive, with IGN 9/10, GameSpot 8/10, Game Informer 9.75/10, Destructoid 9.5/10, Shacknews 10/10, Gamereactor 9/10, and Eurogamer 5/10. The port is described as solid, pairing Grace Ashcroft’s survival-horror segments with Leon S. Kennedy’s action-focused sequences, and it launches on Switch 2 this Friday (Feb 27). A PS5 comparison video is linked in the piece.
Resident Evil: Requiem opens with tense, puzzle-driven sequences featuring Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy, delivering strong survival-horror momentum before leaning too heavily on nostalgia in the second half; the piece also reviews Space Lion (ambitious but fiddly), Oddland (dense, crunch-heavy puzzle), and Love Eternal (stylish but shallow, hampered by control issues).
On Switch 2, Capcom’s Disney Afternoon Collection delivers eight classic Disney games (six NES, two SNES) with Goof Troop and Bonkers added for SNES, plus a swift, nostalgic revival powered by a rewind feature, a music player, and visual options; TaleSpin and Darkwing Duck are tough but DuckTales and Rescue Rangers still shine, while the NES titles gain Time Attack and Boss Rush that the SNES versions don’t have. The package is brief but well-presented, with bonus material and the promise that buying one digital version yields the other across Switch 1 and 2, though saves may not carry over. A solid, largely triumphant retro collection for fans, even if it isn’t a long playthrough.
Nintendo Life's Creator's Voice spot with Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi explains a smooth Switch 2 port, highlights the GameChat feature to help horror fans play together, and confirms the game's February 27, 2026 release, while noting influences from Zelda II and Revelations.

Resident Evil Requiem launches for Nintendo Switch 2 on February 27, 2026.
RE7: Biohazard Gold Edition on Switch 2 is a native port that preserves the tense survival-horror experience with steady 60fps, brisk load times, and all DLC included, removing the cloud version and adding features like Madhouse difficulty with finite saves, delivering a visually solid, faithful remake for Switch players.

With a February 27 launch date across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, fans frustration over no pre-launch demo is weighed against the idea that releasing a full, spoiler-free experience later could pay off by heightening anticipation and reveals at launch.
