Resident Evil 3: Cloud Version could join Control and Hitman 3 on Nintendo Switch
Resident Evil 3 could be coming to Nintendo Switch, after a logo was spotted for a cloud version of the survival horror game. Nintendo recently announced that the hybrid console is getting Control and Hitman 3 via the cloud, allowing you to stream the game to the Nintendo Switch. It looks like Capcom's classic could be next, as a logo for the game has been spotted on the Switch website leading you to play Control. As expected, it has since been removed, but you can see a screenshot below.

As the Nintendo Switch can't offer the graphical grunt of the PS4 or Xbox One, though it has received seemingly impossible ports in the past like The Witcher 3, cloud gaming sets the stage for the system to receive more technically impressive games than just they would not work on the weaker hardware of the Switch. Resident Evil 3 is a remake of Capcom's zombie-filled classic, which debuted in 1999 on PSOne. With great new graphics, better controls, and additional content, Nintendo Switch owners will have a lot to enjoy if the game comes to the platform.

Cloudy with a chance of zombies

Of course, streaming a game via the cloud has its caveats. You'll need a fast and reliable internet connection, and input lag can sometimes be an issue in more reaction-based titles. Since Resident Evil 3 is a slower-paced affair, that shouldn't be a problem. With the PS5 and Xbox Series X set to widen the technical gap even further, cloud gaming could ensure more games are coming to Nintendo Switch in the years to come, helping to extend the life of the system.
