Tom Chick - "Really, it feels like shovelware. This is what Capcom considers passable? It’s worth noting it was released on the same day as a port of the first Resident Evil: Revelations. I wonder how long it takes a Capcom Switch port to load a game originally developed for the Nintendo DS. I don’t aim to find out. I like Revelations 2 a lot. But I don’t like it on the Nintendo Switch."
With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.
This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.
I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
The Switch has been out for a few years now with a large library. Check out the games with the biggest file sizes as of January 2021.

DS? Don't you mean 3DS?
Wow, that's... a terrible review. Not because the reviewer didn't like the game, but the review just doesn't make much sense. He complained about everything, from the plot (which he badly describes while saying "I wasn't paying attention") to the gameplay system (that's the same between all versions), but at the end says "I really enjoyed the campaign in Revelations 2, but that’s back when I played it on the Playstation 4", and "I like Revelations 2 a lot".
And he kept saying "Nintendo DS" instead of "3DS".
Playing through this now, enjoying it more than Revelations 1 so far.
