‘Resident Evil 0’, ‘REmake’ And ‘Res 4’ Headed to The Nintendo eShop This May
Sadly, while we in the rest of the world won’t be getting Resident Evil VII on the Nintendo Switch (Japan, on the other hand, does) as we reported months ago, Nintendo and Capcom are making it up by bringing oldies yet goodies to the console.
In fact, you’ll be able to snag them this May!
Resident Evil 0, 1, and 4 are coming to Nintendo Switch eShop on May 21!

As stated above, Capcom will be bringing Resident Evil 0, the Resident Evil remake, and the game that reinvigorated the series (back then), Resident Evil 4, to the Nintendo eShop on May 21st, with pre-orders beginning on February 28th.
No word on if we’ll be getting any amiibos for these games (if you’re into that), as the ports for Resident Evil: Revelations and Revelations 2 never did (but were planned). But, you never know.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
