 [![Resident Evil 3 Remake Datamine – Nintendo Switch reference](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/resident-evil-3-remake-datamine-nintendo-switch-reference.jpg "Resident Evil 3 Remake Datamine – Nintendo Switch reference")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/resident-evil-3-remake-datamine-nintendo-switch-reference.jpg)Resident Evil 3 Remake is currently on its way to launching on PS4, Xbox One, and PC – with few expecting the game to ever arrive on Nintendo Switch.

Several Resident Evil modders, however, seems to have discovered something that suggests otherwise!In particular, a datamine of the game’s recent demo appears to contain references to the Nintendo Switch and eShop in its code. These were reportedly discovered in two in-game prompts about autosaves and digital storefronts respectively.

There are two likely possibilities for this code being present.The first is that it’s simply leftover data from a general porting job to multiple systems. We’ve witnessed this before for franchises such as Call of Duty – despite no news of any ports months later.

But there’s also the second possibility of Capcom preparing a Cloud version of the game for Nintendo Switch. After all, the company has done this before by releasing Resident Evil 7: Cloud Version in Japan – so a streamable edition of the game to Nintendo Switch isn’t unprecedented either.Of course, we would like to urge our readers to take this information and speculation with a grain of skepticism.

Let’s hope for the impossible!
