Capcom has updated ‘Platinum Titles’ page via its investor portal – that is, any game that has sold at least one million copies since launch – and the new entry on the list is the Nintendo Switch version of Resident Evil 6.
Originally launched in 2012 and ported to the Switch in October 2019, Resident Evil 6 proved quite divisive among fans of the series: many praised the game for its fluid combat and extensive Mercenaries mode, while others thought it strayed too far from the franchise. . the roots of survival horror.
Regardless, 1 million for the Switch version is a decent tally, putting it on par with the PS4/Xbox One release of Resident Evil Revelations and roughly 140,000 copies less than Resident Evil: Code Veronica on the Sega Dreamcast.
Unfortunately, Capcom didn’t release a fully original Resident Evil on the Switch, instead opting to port older entries in the series and create ‘Cloud versions’ of titles like Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Hopefully we’ll at least get the original versions of these games when Nintendo launches its next big hardware.
