Having finished 5 for the first time very recently, it's a solidly okay game. Has some closure to Chris/Wesker if that's your thing.

Does the switch version have couch co-op? I'm told the game is a lot better with co-op

I'm surprised RE6 is smaller than RE5.

Me too. I can't imagine how, seeing as RE6 is a pretty damn huge game what with its 4 different scenarios etc. Oh well, in for all three games (I want the physical copy of 4 anyway). Glad demos have popped up, I'm really curious how 6 runs in handheld mode.

Having demos is a good call imo, just like the preorder discounts.

Yet, they complety botchered these released and RER1/2 will probably stay the best selling games of the franchise on Switch, and deservedly so.

Are these £30?

I can't say it'd be a surprise if they are considering the prices of 4, 0 and Remake but it's still ludicrous considering they're £16 on other consoles.

I already have RE5 on the PS4, but I will download the demo for RE6, sure. Pretty likely I will end get it (someday) at other platform but a demo never hurts :P

I'd like to have RE4 & 5 but rather it digital. Capcom and their pricing...

Can anyone give feedback regarding the performance?

RE 5 runs poorly on the Shield, so I'm curious about the Switch version

Incredible games. RE6 is the Bayonetta of shooters (yes, over Vanquish). Once you understand the mechanics, of course.

The physical edition, is it all on one cart or none or do we know the composition?

I'd like to take advantage of this deal for RE5, but I don't think I'll have time to play it upon release.

I know I could save it for later, but I hate having a backlog lol

It's not a big deal tho.

Resident Evil 4 is on the cart as mentioned by the user above me, but i dont think Nintendo has started offering 64GB carts anyway (or have they?), which would be needed to fit all three games on one cart (about 50GB). Even if they had (or have) offered 64GB carts, the prices for those are likely quite high.

I will be grabbing 4 and 6 when both goes on sale. Played 5 on x360.
I know 4 is definitely worth it as I heard but what about 6?
Is it worth purchasing?

RE6 is a gem, but you're meant to play it like a stylish character action game - rolling and diving and sliding and ducking and jump-kicking and shoulder-checking and perfect-parrying. Many people play it like a cover shooter and don't understand it. Also, you got a stamina bar and the ability to mix/dispense herb pills on a piecemeal basis, which is brilliantly versatile but confuses people at first. The four campaigns are worth it for the story but have a sense of too many cooks in the kitchen, throwing a bazillion ideas and setpieces at you. Mercenaries is where the game shines brightest. RE6 is one of my faves, but it can be an acquired taste.

I'm not holding out much hope for these ports. The RE4 port isn't even native 720p in handheld and doesn't hold a solid 60fps.

I'll definitely put RE6 on my watch list. Really liked the first chapters on PS3 but the tearing/frame rate was kind of bad.

The discount for owning at least 1 of the previously released games will help tip me over and probably get RE5.

Still upset that they decided to release RE4 on a cart since I went digital, but oh well.

Thanks man. Which one would you recommend first between 4 and 6?

lol I couldn't imagine paying $30 for a RE6 port today. At first I thought it said $30 for both and that would be fine.
