Every Capcom Game on Switch 2, Ranked by Performance
A comprehensive look at all 41 Capcom titles on Switch 2, ranked by compatibility. From Resident Evil to Monster Hunter, see how every game stacks up.
Capcom is one of the most prolific third-party publishers on Nintendo Switch, with 41 titles spanning iconic franchises like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Mega Man, Ace Attorney, and Street Fighter. With the Switch 2 now in players' hands, we put every single Capcom game to the test. From native Switch 2 releases to backwards-compatible classics, here is a comprehensive breakdown of how each title performs on Nintendo's latest hardware.
Our compatibility ratings work on a four-tier scale: Diamond (flawless), Gold (great with minor issues), Silver (playable but noticeable compromises), and Bronze (significant problems). Every game below has been tested by the SwitchDB community.
The Big Picture: Capcom on Switch 2
Capcom has been one of the strongest supporters of Nintendo's hybrid console family. Of the 41 Capcom titles in our database, many were originally cloud-only on the original Switch (like Resident Evil Village and RE7) but now run natively on Switch 2 hardware. The RE Engine titles in particular benefit enormously from the upgraded specs, delivering experiences that were previously impossible on a portable Nintendo device.
According to Capcom's own investor communications, both Street Fighter 6 and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess have met expectations on Switch 2. Meanwhile, datamined information suggests Monster Hunter Wilds could also be heading to the platform in the future.
Resident Evil - Capcom's Biggest Switch 2 Showcase
The Resident Evil franchise is Capcom's crown jewel on Switch 2, with 12 titles spanning the entire series. The results range from Diamond to Silver, making this franchise one of the best case studies for what Switch 2 can do with demanding modern games.
Resident Evil Requiem - Diamond (Metacritic: 91)
Resident Evil Requiem is the flagship Capcom title built specifically for Switch 2. As a native release, it earns a Diamond rating and demonstrates what the RE Engine can achieve when optimized for the hardware from the ground up. Capcom has continued patching the game post-launch, with the v1.1.1 update improving overall playability.
Resident Evil: Revelations - Diamond on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 80)
Resident Evil: Revelations jumps from Gold on Switch 1 to Diamond on Switch 2, making it the biggest upgrade story in the RE lineup. Originally a 3DS title that was ported to Switch, the game runs flawlessly on the new hardware.
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Diamond on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 73)
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 follows the same trajectory as its predecessor, jumping from Silver on Switch 1 all the way to Diamond on Switch 2. This episodic horror title clearly benefits from the extra processing power.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Gold on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 85)
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Capcom
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was previously only available as a cloud version on the original Switch. On Switch 2, it runs natively and earns a Gold rating. Reviews describe the port as "damn near perfect," with solid performance that makes the first-person horror experience fully portable for the first time.
Resident Evil Village - Gold on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 87)
Resident Evil Village
Capcom
Resident Evil Village goes from a Gold cloud experience on Switch 1 to a native Gold experience on Switch 2. Docked mode targets 60fps with dynamic resolution and DLSS-style upscaling. However, reports note that frame rate consistency can vary, particularly in third-person mode, and handheld performance is less stable than docked.
RE7 DLC - Gold on Switch 2
Both RE7 DLC packs perform well on Switch 2. End of Zoe (Metacritic: 80) and Banned Footage Vol. 1 (Metacritic: 76) earn Gold ratings, while Banned Footage Vol. 2 (Metacritic: 63) also runs at Gold level on Switch 2.
Resident Evil Revelations Collection - Gold on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 80)
The Resident Evil Revelations Collection bundle improves from Silver on Switch 1 to Gold on Switch 2, benefiting from the extra horsepower to deliver smoother performance.
Resident Evil 4 - Silver on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 85)
Resident Evil 4 is the one notable exception in the RE lineup. While it earns Gold on Switch 1, its Switch 2 rating drops to Silver. This is the RE4 remake running on the RE Engine, and it appears the backwards compatibility layer introduces some compromises that affect the experience.
Resident Evil 0, RE1, RE5, RE6 - Switch 1 Only
Several classic Resident Evil titles are still Switch 1-only in our testing. Resident Evil (Metacritic: 82) runs at Gold, while RE5 Remastered (Metacritic: 80) also earns Gold. Resident Evil 0 (Metacritic: 70) and RE6 Remastered (Metacritic: 70) sit at Silver on Switch 1, awaiting Switch 2 community testing.
Monster Hunter - Hunting on the Go, Upgraded
Monster Hunter has been synonymous with portable Nintendo gaming for over a decade. Capcom has four Monster Hunter titles on Switch, and the Switch 2 results are encouraging.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin - Diamond on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 86)
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is the best-performing Monster Hunter title on Switch 2, jumping from Gold on Switch 1 to Diamond. The turn-based RPG's colorful art style translates beautifully to the upgraded hardware.
Monster Hunter Rise - Gold on Both Platforms (Metacritic: 88)
Monster Hunter Rise maintains its Gold rating on Switch 2. As a game built specifically for the original Switch, it already ran well, and Switch 2 keeps that quality consistent. Its expansion, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak (Metacritic: 89), currently only has Switch 1 testing at Gold.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate - Gold on Both (Metacritic: 80)
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate holds steady at Gold on both Switch 1 and Switch 2. This massive content-rich title continues to run reliably on the new hardware.
Ace Attorney - Courtroom Drama, No Objections
Capcom's beloved visual novel series runs exactly as you would expect on Switch - smoothly and without issues. These text-heavy games are not demanding, but it is good to confirm they all perform well.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection (Metacritic: 87), The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (Metacritic: 86), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (Metacritic: 82), and Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (Metacritic: 81) all run at Gold on Switch 1. None have Switch 2-specific community ratings yet, but given their modest hardware requirements, Diamond-level performance on Switch 2 is highly likely.
Mega Man - The Blue Bomber Collection
Capcom's Mega Man library on Switch is extensive, covering nearly every era of the franchise through various collections. These are retro-focused titles that generally run without issues.
Mega Man 9 (Metacritic: 88) and Mega Man 10 (Metacritic: 80) both run at Gold on Switch 1. Mega Man X: Legacy Collection (Metacritic: 87), Mega Man Zero/ZX: Legacy Collection (Metacritic: 83), Mega Man 11 (Metacritic: 80), and Mega Man Legacy Collection (Metacritic: 79) all earn Gold as well. Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 (Metacritic: 71) is the sole Silver performer in the bunch.
None of the Mega Man titles have received Switch 2-specific community testing yet, but like the Ace Attorney series, these lightweight titles should have no trouble on the new hardware.
Street Fighter - Fighting at Full Speed
Street Fighter 6 - Diamond on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 93)
Street Fighter 6 is the highest-rated Capcom game in our database and earns a Diamond rating on Switch 2. Running at a locked 60fps (essential for competitive fighting games), it uses DLSS to upscale from a lower internal resolution to 1080p docked. While some players have noted the aggressive upscaling from 540p, the consistent frame rate is what matters most for a fighting game. Capcom's investor Q&A confirmed that SF6 has met sales expectations on the platform.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection - Silver on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 80)
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection drops from Gold on Switch 1 to Silver on Switch 2, suggesting some backwards compatibility quirks with this retro compilation.
Ultra Street Fighter II - Gold on Both (Metacritic: 72)
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers holds steady at Gold on both platforms. This Switch exclusive fighter continues to run well on the new hardware.
Action and Adventure Titles
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess - Gold on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 85)
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is one of Capcom's most unique recent releases, blending action combat with tower defense strategy. It earns a Gold rating on Switch 2, and Capcom has confirmed the game met the company's expectations on the platform.
Okami HD - Gold on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 92)
Okami HD is the second highest-rated Capcom game on Switch at 92 on Metacritic. It drops from Diamond on Switch 1 to Gold on Switch 2, which may indicate minor backwards compatibility adjustments. That said, Gold is still an excellent experience for this timeless action-adventure classic.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen - Gold on Both (Metacritic: 78)
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen maintains its Gold rating from Switch 1 to Switch 2. Capcom's open-world action RPG continues to be a solid portable experience.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective - Gold on Switch 1 (Metacritic: 86)
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective earns Gold on Switch 1. This puzzle-adventure game from the creator of Ace Attorney has not yet been tested on Switch 2 by the community, but its modest requirements make it a safe bet for strong performance.
Onimusha: Warlords - Gold on Switch 1 (Metacritic: 75)
Onimusha: Warlords runs at Gold on Switch 1. This samurai action remaster has not yet been tested on Switch 2.
Classic Collections and Retro Titles
Capcom has a strong lineup of retro compilations on Switch, and their performance tells an interesting story about backwards compatibility.
The Disney Afternoon Collection - Gold on Switch 2 (Metacritic: 74)
The Disney Afternoon Collection improves from Silver on Switch 1 to Gold on Switch 2. These NES-era Disney classics (DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale, TaleSpin, and more) run better than ever on the new hardware.
Capcom Arcade Stadium - Gold on Switch 1 (Metacritic: 79)
Capcom Arcade Stadium earns Gold on Switch 1. This curated collection of classic Capcom arcade games has not yet been tested on Switch 2.
Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle - Silver on Switch 1 (Metacritic: 74)
Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle sits at Silver on Switch 1 and has not been tested on Switch 2 yet. Given the relatively simple nature of these classic arcade brawlers, improved performance on Switch 2 seems likely.
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection - Silver on Switch 1 (Metacritic: 69)
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection runs at Silver on Switch 1. This notoriously difficult platformer has not yet been tested on Switch 2.
Performance Breakdown: The Numbers
Here is how Capcom's 41 games break down by their best available compatibility rating:
- Diamond: 5 games - Street Fighter 6, Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Stories 2, RE: Revelations (SW2), RE: Revelations 2 (SW2)
- Gold: 30 games - The vast majority of Capcom's lineup runs at Gold or above
- Silver: 6 games - RE4 (SW2), Street Fighter 30th Anniversary (SW2), Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, RE0, RE6 Remastered, Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection
- Bronze: 0 games
That is an impressive track record. Not a single Capcom game earns a Bronze rating, meaning every title in their Switch library is at minimum playable with room for improvement.
Key Takeaways
Best Performers: Street Fighter 6 (Diamond, mc:93), Resident Evil Requiem (Diamond, mc:91), and Monster Hunter Stories 2 (Diamond, mc:86) lead the pack. These represent the peak of what Capcom can deliver on Switch 2.
Biggest Improvements: RE: Revelations and RE: Revelations 2 both jump two full tiers from Silver to Diamond when moving from Switch 1 to Switch 2. The Disney Afternoon Collection also sees a nice bump from Silver to Gold.
Watch List: Resident Evil 4 dropping from Gold (Switch 1) to Silver (Switch 2) is the most notable regression. The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection also dips from Gold to Silver in backwards compatibility mode.
What is Next: Capcom clearly views Switch 2 as a priority platform. With Resident Evil Requiem already out, Street Fighter 6 performing well, and rumors of RE2/RE3 remake ports on the horizon, this publisher's commitment to Nintendo's new console shows no signs of slowing down. Datamined evidence also points toward a potential Monster Hunter Wilds port, which would be a massive addition to the Switch 2 library.
Overall, Capcom's Switch 2 portfolio is one of the strongest from any third-party publisher. Whether you are a survival horror fan, a fighting game enthusiast, or a retro collector, there is something in this lineup for everyone - and nearly all of it runs well.
