Capcom locks in the Nintendo Switch port release dates for Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7

Capcom has finally announced the release dates for the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 Nintendo Switch ports, and they'll be here just in time for the holiday season.

We already knew that the Nintendo Switch version of Resident Evil Village would be coming next week, October 28, but dates hadn't yet been locked in for the other Resi titles coming to the platform. As part of this week's Resident Evil Showcase, Capcom confirmed that we'll be able to play Resident Evil 2 on Switch November 11, Resident Evil 3 is arriving November 18, and Resident Evil 7 is coming a month later on December 16.

It should be noted that like many intensive games, these particular ports will be cloud only, so make sure you have a good internet connection before you think about picking up these particular titles.
