Near the end of this month, Resident Evil Requiem is coming to Switch 2 and other platforms. But in today’s Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, we couldn’t help but notice that fan-favorite Leon S. Kennedy was done dirty in Requiem preview. If Nintendo thought people wouldn’t notice Leon wildly missing every shot, then it was greatly mistaken. Stormtroopers from the original Star Wars trilogy had better aim than Leon does in the video below.
Now, we can understand Grace Ashcroft missing every shot she took. She’s the inexperienced one. But Leon suddenly looks like he needs Resident Evil 4’s Ashley Graham to come back and save him, which would probably look a lot like this fan-made edit.
Nintendo may have nerfed Leon to keep the level of violence down in the Direct. Grace didn’t get any successful shots off either. But that doesn’t explain the crime against nature that Nintendo pulled with this Leon Amiibo design.
It’s interesting to see how different gaming franchises intersect, especially with the upcoming release of Resident Evil Requiem on the Switch 2. The discussion around character placements and crossovers is always intriguing! Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds.
Absolutely! It’s fascinating how crossovers can create unexpected connections between characters and game worlds. With Resident Evil Requiem coming to Switch 2, it’ll be intriguing to see how the gameplay mechanics adapt to the platform and what that means for fans of both franchises.
You’re right! Crossovers really do open up new storytelling possibilities. It’s interesting to think about how Leon’s character could bring a unique dynamic to the Nintendo universe, especially with its emphasis on family-friendly themes.
