Capcom has announced by surprise the arrival of Resident Evil 7 on the Nintendo Switch, although for now it will only do so in Japan and in an unconventional way, since the game will work via streaming and not on the console itself.

Capcom announces Resident Evil 7 for Nintendo Switch, although via streaming and only for Japan for now

The arrival of Resident Evil 7 is a surprise, just as surprising as Capcom's commitment to running the game through streaming, which means that it will run on the company's servers, and then send the content to users. This has the advantage that it does not depend on the hardware of the console to work, so better graphics can be offered thanks to the great power of the servers. The downside is that a very stable, high-speed Internet connection will be required for it to work properly.

For now the launch will only take place in Japan, we assume that Capcom wants to test this technology, and if it works as expected, it will likely end up reaching the rest of the markets. This version of Resident Evil 7 should offer a graphic quality equivalent to a high-end PC, otherwise there would be no point in using stremaing.

This is not a totally new idea for the Japanese market, as Square Enix's Dragon Quest X has a streaming version for Nintendo 3DS and smartphones, there are also cloud-powered versions of games like Final Fantasy XIII and Phantasy Star Online 2 by Sega. for Switch it works the same way.

We will have to wait to find out if a similar release is announced for the West or if everything remains on Japanese soil.
