Continued sales can be expected in the future. The PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions of Resident Evil RE: 4 ranked second and third."
NE: "Today, we're looking at Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe on its 2nd anniversary and how it holds up in the modern day."
The classic Resident Evil 4 GameCube release, the title that redfined the hugely popular series, debuted 20 years ago today.
Bought it the day it came out. Probably the most graphically impressive GameCube game.
It looks great but it's also pre-rendered backgrounds in tight, enclosed spaces. From a technical perspective RE4 is more impressive.
I'd say Resident Evil Zero which was canned on the Nintendo 64 and ported to the GameCube.
I still give it up to Factor 5 with Rogue Squadron 2 and 3. Those games look amazing still today. They squeezed a lot out of that box.
RE4 was no slouch either though.
I think I'd give it to Metroid Prime and Echoes. 60fps with all those particle effects, and Samus' reflections.
The Remaster on Switch and Trilogy version on Wii are actually missing certain graphical effects.
The most influential game of all time. Along with the movie Aliens, it has shaped the industry.
The gameplay and narrative influence on horror video games from Capcom's critically acclaimed Resident Evil 4 can still be felt 20 years later.
I'm hoping the updated version gets released on the next Switch, I'd love to have it portable.
I'm sure all the REmakes and newer entries will be on Switch 2. Looking forward to it!
Until when FF 16 drops it looks like we're back to business as usual in Japan. Switch sales have been on the rise these past 3 weeks. Possibly Mario movie hype or TOTK hype. Maybe both. Meanwhile even with RE4 PS5 sales have slumped and continue to drop. Crazy stuff for sure.

PS4 outsells Series S/X by more than double.
PS4 holding strong.
