Each of the games will cost you $29.99 and will be available from the Nintendo eShop. There is also a retail version that was revealed to contain Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 in a triple pack which will cost you $59.99 on the same day of release. The pack will contain a cartridge for Resident Evil 4, while the other two games can be purchased with a digital code.
The additions of both the games on the Nintendo Switch now brings the total to seven Resident Evil games that are available on the Nintendo console. Last May, Capcom released Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil, and Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil 5 will pick up after the events of destroying The Umbrella Corporation’s lethal virus. A new threat has emerged, years after the events in Raccoon City. Chris Redfield who has been surviving the events of the city, and fighting the scourge of bio-organic weapons all over the world, is now a member of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). Chris has been sent to Africa to work together with Sheva Alomar to solve the truth behind the disturbing events.
The game will include both online and co-op mode, with all the previously released DLC, Versus mode, costumes and more.
On the other hand, Resident Evil 6 will contain fan-favorite characters like Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Ada Wong, among other new characters that include Jake Muller. The game introduces a new threat called the C-virus that is spreading wildly. This game can also be played co-op or solo and features extra modes like the Survivor that puts 6 players against each other.
