Resident Evil 7 Confirmed For Switch In Japan As A Streaming-Only Game

hm allot of h8 for this on here. i understand, game steaming services i do not like as well. but that being said in a handheld market, it would work. for larger hard hitting 3rd party games, when the handheld cant handle the game. the game would not even need to be worked on allot to be able to do this, like say witcher 3 on PC running to steam to the switch, dont need to port it to the switch. it could attract allot of 3rd party support for Nintendo which is not something any1 really says EVER. some of the game may even be able to look even better then if the switch hardware processed it. now i wonder which would take more battery life, using wifi for steaming, or processing the game via hardware. there are hurdles some will not be able to jump such as slow internet and data caps, but for those whom do not have the problem, it may work out well. just most defintiny NOT a timed pass crap, then the added perk of saving memory space helps in a handheld as well.

Sometimes in future we'll see this topic for sure.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Confirmed For Switch In Japan As A Streaming-Only Game.

That's disgusting. ?

Please, oh please, don't let this become a thing.

And the award for Most Accessible Game goes to...

So, $18 for a 180-day game plus $4 (at least) subscription for allowing cloud save. And all you get is a livestream video, which means you and your spending is pretty much done f*cked, even worse if without Internet. Not to mention there are many possibilities that Nintendo would f*ck you up (no refund, game may goes deleted from library for no reason, getting banned, etc)

Meanwhile, with the same $18 you can get the same game (of course it's a used disc or bought from sale) permanently, play it offline with better visual and performance as well. Wanna play on handheld? Got it:

PC - GPD Win, Nvidia Shield and even mobile phone (Andriod/iOS)

PS4 - PS Vita

Xbox - Coming Soon

Bonus: definitely no extra cost for cloud saving (except PS4 tho), plus you can backup your save whenever you want with a thing called USB.

...cloud version...wth? Not sure I like this, hopefully we dont see this more in the next few years

Good for some people who just want to play the game and have a Switch. They're never gonna play it again after that anyway.

This is awesome and epic for the switch. Not only can you play in glorious 720p, obviously the definitive edition and better than VR and 4K HDR, but now you can have high input lag as a simulation to freezing in fear. The switch is bringing horror to a whole new level.

LOL, thats all.

I knew resi7 would release on switch. Makes you wonder what lie they’ve been selling about “next gen” graphics on ps4 and xbox.

This is quite literally one of those “I’ve got good news and bad news” scenarios. On the positive side, at least fans of Resident Evil will get a chance to play what was one of the stand-out games of last year.

-WHICH ONE FIRST? NINJA APPROVED-

Switch Wifi gaming.. so what does that mean for battery life? 2 hours?

Wait...what? I'm confused.

That's weird. If it comes here I wouldn't think twice about ignoring it.

@suprsolider: The hardware is garbage, but the games are good. ?️

You're a Super Solider, you should be able to understand that.

@suprsolider: sallllt

@suprsolider: Because it isn't.

The real question is if this will work on Switch's in the U.S. with a Japanese account.
