The streaming-only version of Capcom’s survival horror hit can only be played via the cloud – but how well does it really work?
The president of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, was in New York this week to sell his company’s big holiday line-up. But there was plenty more to talk about, too.
Why would the head of Nintendo hope for an N64 Classic.
You literally have the power to release one.

Well, don't expect to get the full story if you don't read the article. It's not about Reggie hoping to release the N64 Classic. It's about him commenting on others hope for it.
@TheKnightofknights
See I didn’t even have to click on it, you did the work for me.
Thanks 🙏🏻
@2pacalyps
Lol you still don't know what he said. You just know the context now.
Idk if the title got edited, but it says "reggie ON hopes for an n64 classic" not his own hopes for one
After a surprising reveal just a few days ago, Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version launched on the Japanese eShop this week. It comes with a significant caveat about save data, however. In that the saves are not stored on the system itself, but rather on Capcom's own internal servers.
The issue here is that Capcom is making no promises with regard to this data. The company says that after the 180-day ticket expires, there are no guarantees that saves will be preserved. While that somewhat makes sense, oddly, Capcom also warns that the same even goes during the play period that you’re paying for.
Capcom finds new ways to screw up even when they’re doing alright like it’s a force of habit
Nintendo is kind of doing the same thing now, putting saves on the cloud but with a major caveat. It's being put behind a paywall.
I'm pretty sure you need a PS Plus and Xbox Live subscription to use cloud saving on the other consoles as well.
This is a reply to hipk_bash1987 - wrong. Cloud save is free on Xbox and on ps4 you can backup to usb
@hulk_bash1978 true but at least on PS4 (not sure about Xbox) you can back your saves to a USB stick.
@hulk_bash1987
You wouldn't really need cloud saves anyway considering in 2013 when these consoles release they came with 500GB of memory. If the Switch came with just half of that at 250GB then we wouldn't need to rely on the cloud and the like.
My bad on the xbox live assumption, I've never used the cloud storage on my Xbox One. But I know for a fact that PS Plus is needed for cloud storage on the PS4. My point being, Nintendo isn't somehow worse for doing the same.
Are you serious? Not being able to keep saved progress is absolutely ridiculous. Please don't buy this game. We don't want this mentality to spread.
lol.. could you imagine. The game is in the cloud, but we aren't sure about the save games.. :P

I’ve played cloud games on PS Now and it’s a serviceable method of playing games.
Yeah, that's not a very good statement when talking about playing games.
Seems completely playable. Switch owners are in for a treat.
I’d rather have a standalone release for the Switch, but hey, its Capcom. Maybe they are just testing the water with this in Japan.
