Resident Evil Revelations 2 — Switch Nsp Update Upd

Resident Evil Revelations 2: Switch NSP Update Guide

Resident Evil Revelations 2 on the Nintendo Switch is often considered one of the best portable ports of the survival horror era. However, the initial release (Cartridge version 1.0) shipped with a few notable bugs and performance hiccups. Applying the latest NSP update is essential for the best experience.

For those downloading an NSP (the digital file format for Switch games), securing the base game plus the latest update patch is non-negotiable. Playing the base 1.0.0 version via an old dump results in stuttering during key cutscenes and frustrating lag during the "thriller" sections (escaping the spinning blade in Episode 1, for example).

What is an NSP Update?

Before diving into the specific patches, let's clarify the terminology. An NSP (Nintendo Submission Package) is the digital format used for Switch games and their updates. Unlike XCI (cartridge dumps), NSPs are typically used for legitimate eShop downloads or update data. Compatibility: The update patch is required for most

System Requirements

  • Compatibility: The update patch is required for most DLC to function correctly. If you attempt to load DLC on the base v1.0 version, the game may fail to recognize the extra content.
  • Episode Install: Note that the Switch cartridge only contains the first episode on the physical media. The remaining episodes (2, 3, 4, and the Bonus Episode) must be downloaded. The update patch ensures that these downloaded episodes integrate seamlessly with the cartridge data.

Verdict on updates: The game is effectively “abandoned” in terms of meaningful improvements. It runs adequately but is widely considered the worst-performing modern console version.
