Resident Evil Classic Games To Come To Nintendo Switch in May

Resident Evil doesn’t forget its roots, and Nintendo Switch users should receive multiple Resident Evil classic games. We found out the news, for the first time, back in October, when Capcom made the announcement. Back then, we only knew that three games were going to be ported on Nintendo Switch – Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 1, and Resident Evil 4.

Nonetheless, no additional details were released. We weren’t told when the ports would be available, and we didn’t know which versions of the games were going to be ported. However, it appears that the waiting time is finally over. Capcom let us know that the ports will arrive very soon, and users can already pre-order them starting on February 28th.

Capcom announced the launch date of Resident Evil classic games on Nintendo Switch the official Twitter account of the game. You can read the tweet below:

“Resident Evil 0, 1, and 4 are coming to Nintendo Switch eShop on May 21! Play all three masterpieces anywhere, such as:

  • On trains
  • During mansion tours
  • Across the European countryside

Pre-orders start on Feb 28th,” Capcom announced on Twitter a couple of days ago.

Resident Evil Classic Games To Come To Nintendo Switch in May

As the tweet announces, the release date for the three Resident Evil classic games on Nintendo Switch is May 21st. More than that, fans can pre-order them starting February 28th. While the tweet does mention that Resident Evil 0, 1, and 4 are the games coming to Switch, other clues offered by Capcom refer to those specific games.

For example, “on trains” refers to Resident Evil 0, which takes place mostly on a train. Then, we have “mansion tours,” which is a reference to the original Resident Evil, which was set in the Spencer Mansion. Finally, the “European countryside” refers to Resident Evil 4, which takes place in a fictional European village.

Xbox Live Cross-Platform Play On Nintendo Switch To Expand, Microsoft Wants

Microsoft plans to debate the expansion of the Xbox Live cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch during the upcoming Game Developers Conference, which would happen between the 18th and 22nd of March. According to a recently released schedule of the event, Microsoft wants to expand the cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch to other titles besides the popular Minecraft.

Microsoft would also allow devs to preview the SDK responsible for enabling the developers to connect players across multiple platforms, with Nintendo Switch included, in any game that is currently available via Microsoft Store for Windows computers and Xbox.

“Xbox Live is one of the largest, most engaged gaming communities on the planet with decades of experience providing managed game services to developers that save you time and unlock all of the social and engagement features that players love. Now Xbox Live is about to get MUCH bigger. Xbox Live is expanding from 400M gaming devices and a reach to over 68M active players to over 2B devices with the release of our new cross-platform XDK,” reads the report on the panel.

Microsoft Wants to Expand the Xbox Live Cross-Platform Play On Nintendo Switch

“Get a first look at the SDK to enable game developers to connect players between iOS, Android, and Switch in addition to Xbox and any game in the Microsoft Store on Windows PCs,” said Microsoft in the preview of the Game Developers Conference which would take place in March.

“Xbox Live players are highly engaged and active on Xbox and PC, but now they can take their gaming achievement history, their friends list, their clubs, and more with them to almost every screen. This will break down barriers for developers that want their communities to mingle more freely across platforms. Combined with PlayFab gaming services, this means less work for game developers and more time to focus on making games fun,” the tech giant added.

In short, Microsoft would like to expand the Xbox Live cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch, and it would even offer a preview to the SDK responsible for that during the Game Developers Conference which would happen between May 18th and 22n of this year.

Assassin’s Creed Titles To Come On Nintendo Switch, Reportedly

According to some recent listings on several retailers’ sites, Assassin’s Creed titles would come on Nintendo Switch soon. Even more, reportedly, Nintendo Switch payers might enjoy two Assassin’s Creed games in only about a couple of weeks.

Herni-Svet, a Czech online store, listed Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation Collection for Nintendo Switch. According to the online retailer, the Assassin’s Creed title for Nintendo Switch would come out on February 15th. Also, the German online store Media Markt listed an Assassin’s Creed Collection game for Nintendo Switch. Also, it would launch next month.

We don’t know yet if these listings are just mistakes of the two retailers since Ubisoft refused to comment the rumors and leaks referring to the launch of Assassin’s Creed titles on Nintendo Switch. However, in 2018, Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot told GameSpot that the company would not launch any new Assassin’s Creed games in 2019.

Reportedly, Assassin’s Creed Titles Would Come On Nintendo Switch

“Perhaps this new collection is a way for the company to plug that gap while it works on a brand-new game for next year. Ubisoft has not yet announced any plans to bring its hit series to Nintendo’s portable console, except for last year’s Odyssey, which came to Switch as a Japan-exclusive cloud-streaming game,” reported GameSpot.

The last Assassin’s Creed game that rolled out for a Nintendo console was Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag on Wii U. Also, the Assassin’s Creed III, the title rumored to launch on Nintendo Switch in February, launched on Wii U a few years ago. In other news, besides Assassin’s Creed III, the before-mentioned Czech site also listed Liberation as an upcoming Nintendo Switch game.

Nintendo Switch is the most successful console at the moment. According to recent statistics, it surpassed both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018. Nintendo has many plans to boost the growth of Nintendo Switch, and the fact that some more Assassin’s Creed titles might come on Nintendo Switch is only helpful for the Japanese company in its purposes.

Inmost, An Atmospheric Story-Driven Puzzle Game, To Come Out This Year for Nintendo Switch and PC

Publisher Chucklefish and developer Hidden Layer Games announced in August 2018 that they work on a new title, an atmospheric story-driven puzzle game, Inmost. Now, they announced more about it, including the fact that Inmost would come out this year for Nintendo Switch and PC (via Steam).

“Inmost is an atmospheric, story-driven puzzle platformer, following three playable characters within one dark, interconnecting story. In an old abandoned castle, you’ll need to explore every nook and cranny, avoid detection, slice your way through enemies and spring deadly traps in order to escape the evil that lurks within,” the official game’s description reads.

“A Knight sworn to the forces of darkness. A creature which feeds on pain. A stranger searching for answers. One interconnecting tale of suffering, sacrifice, and the young girl in the middle of it all,” the description continues.

Inmos Would Come Out This Year for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam

According to the official site, the essential features of Inmos, an atmospheric story-drive puzzle game, are:

  • A ghoulishly atmospheric, yet beautiful pixel art world.
  • Three main characters, each with their own unique gameplay styles.
  • One interweaving story, set across two worlds.
  • Scale the environment by sneaking past enemies, luring them into deadly traps, solving puzzles and slicing down foes.
  • Explore every inch of the world to find secret passages.
  • Each pixel is placed with love!

The title promises to be a very interesting game, arcade style, with many puzzles to solve and lots of creepy enemies to defeat. The in-game atmosphere looks fantastic, at least from the photos, GIFs, and the trailer Chucklefish and Hidden Layer Games released so far, and I believe Inmost would be a very nice game to kill your free time when you don’t have any other game to play.

We don’t know yet when in 2019 the game would roll out. Below, there is the official trailer that announces Inmost for Nintendo Switch:
