RESIDENT EVIL 5 And RESIDENT EVIL 6 Have Just Become Available On The Nintendo Switch

During this year's E3, Capcom announced that Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 — two of the most divisive titles in the Resident Evil franchise — were also going to be making their way onto the Nintendo Switch at some yet-to-be-determined date this Fall.

The Nintendo Switch versions of both Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 provide pretty much the same experience the original games provided, albeit with all of the previously released downloadable content, as well as motion control support; a feature that most fans will definitely appreciate.

Capcom had previously released Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 0, and Resident Evil 4 on the Nintendo Switch, so the addition of these two titles today gets fans one step closer to owning every title in the Residnet Evil series; that is, of course, if Capcom announces Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7.

Since both Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 became available on the Nintendo Switch eShop today, Capcom has released a launch trailer that shows off the newly added motion controls in action.

While the Umbrella Corporation and its crop of lethal viruses have been destroyed and contained, a more dangerous threat has emerged. Somewhere in Africa, innocent villagers are transforming into aggressive and disturbing creatures. Featuring online and couch co-op, players can experience this Resident Evil classic as either Chris Redfield or his partner Sheva Alomar, as the duo works together to investigate and stop those responsible for the viral outbreak. Resident Evil 5 releases on Nintendo Switch this Fall.

Blending action and survival horror, Resident Evil 6 delivers an epic dramatic horror experience. Resident Evil favorites Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Ada Wong are joined by new characters, including Jake Muller, to face a new horror, the highly virulent C-virus, as the narrative moves between North America, the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and the Chinese city of Lanshiang.
