Nah, the discussion was to bring RE4,5,6 on one package to Switch. I mean, technically, RE0 and Rebirth are GC games. Yet, their HD version are newer. The point is, while these are recents RE games, they're still smaller scale spin-offs.
Uh, I don't think so ? People were just talking about the Switch getting these 20 RE games that are currently rolling out on PS4 and One. RER is the next one to come, so that's the one (with RER2 bundled to sell a 40 SKU) they chosen to port first. They didn't make compilation of RE4/5/6 on PS4 so idk why anyone would have expected that.
And anyway he was talking about the Switch not getting any RE at all for some reason, and stuff like Megaman Legacy Collection instead.
