The same Resident Evil 4 we know and love 3p1o1
Launched in 2005 for the Nintendo GameCube, Resident Evil 4 reinvented the franchise by abandoning fixed camera angles and positioning it over the protagonist's shoulder. It was a huge innovation for the time: it was now possible to shoot freely, explore the scenarios in a much more dynamic way and place enemies faster and in greater numbers on the screen.

Now a secret agent of the American government, he is given the mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the president's daughter – who was kidnapped by a cult with dark intentions. Alone in a village in rural Spain, Leon will face enemies smarter than Raccoon's zombies while discovering that things aren't as simple as they seem.
A work of art, even with its limitations 6ib1t
Resident Evil 4 continues to shine 14 years after its original release. The gameplay, even with its limitations, is a lot of fun. in the best style resident evil, you will face hours of aggressive enemies and gigantic mutated monsters.
The title brought a greater focus on exploring environments: you find items that can be sold to the Merchant. The money from the sale can be used to improve your weapons or buy new ones. They are varied and using them intelligently is crucial.
As a 2004 game, naturally some details haven't aged so well. The protagonist's control in the "tank" scheme is the main thing. This can be strange for younger players, used to games with freer and more dynamic controls. Much of the title's atmosphere, tension and charm is due to the cast gameplay. The pace and layout of the game's scenarios were designed with these details in mind. If this is your first time playing Resident Evil 4, keep that in mind and have a lot of fun.

The version for Nintendo Switch de Resident Evil 4 is based on the editions released for Xbox One e Playstation 4. In of graphics and content, expect parity with these versions. Character textures, weapons, items and menus have been remastered in high definition. All extra content is also present: Assignment Ada, separate ways and fan favorite: The Mercenaries.
Performance is also equivalent: the game runs at 60 frames per second both in portable mode and in docked. I played the game almost entirely in portable mode and there are very subtle punctual frame drops. In docked mode, these small frame drops are more noticeable. It doesn't seem like a difficult thing to fix if Capcom wants to invest a little more time in development to release an update.
Oh, and loading screens are practically non-existent. The time between opening a door and loading a new area is a maximum of 2 seconds. That's great: the fewer interruptions, the better the pace of the campaign.
Play Resident Evil 4 anywhere is a teenage dream come true. I have history with the game: I've finished it countless times on several different platforms. Take the Switch out of the backpack, press the button and having the full game experience instantly is very good.
The way The Mercenaries, in particular, gets an extra sparkle with this ease of turning on the console for quick play. Classic in the franchise, the mode is a mini game in which the objective is to eliminate as many enemies as possible in the shortest possible time, creating combos. It is possible to unlock several characters from the franchise, including the villain Wesker and the mysterious Hunk. The fast-paced nature of this mode is perfect for the Switch's handheld mode.

The re-releases of Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 for Switch brought a number of unique innovations and features to the hybrid console from Nintendo. In addition to for motion controls, games also gained for amiibo.
The hope was that the Capcom implement something similar in Resident Evil 4, but this did not happen. The game does not motion controls, menus accessible via the console's touchscreen, or any other features that take advantage of the Switch's functionality.
