Devil May Cry 5 Director And Producer Would "Love" To Play The Series On Switch

Yes make it happen! This is a series I wanted to play but just never picked it up. I would be OK with the original three released in a collection followed by the other games.

Seems like DMC4 could run on a toaster. If DMC5 was developed the same way, it may only take relatively few adjustments to make that happen.

Sidenote: I'm glad there's not a "release lever" on the side of the Switch or we'd never hear the end of the "Literally a Toaster" jokes!

Theres no reason at all for the series not to come to the Switch. Especially since almost every party involved is working with Nintendo in some form.

So this means the old ones, not the new one has a possibility of coming to the switch. Reoccurring theme

DMC5 is made on the RE engine, and since they've already ruled out RE2 remake and RE7, the new one will not be coming to the Switch, unless through cloud play.

Even if 5 is too much of a strech theres no reason 1-4 and dmc cant come(they were all last generation or older games)

More 3rd party content is always welcome. I just hope they put the effort in to actually make the ports run well. Sick of companies like EA who give us a half baked watered down game and then claim Switch owners don't want "games like it".

@KingBowser86 People have actually made "Nintoaster"s AVGN featured one.

Capcom being Capcom.
Only intentions or nice words about the system but when something finally happens we get ports of old games.
So far they did not bring anything new to the Switch.

... I'm good on ports Capcom. RE 4 might be the last port I'll buy from them.

“My SD card is ready.”- All Capcom fans on Switch.

More the merrier Capcom. Putting the games all on a physical card seems out of the question. Just no microtransactions please.

sigh expect another round of rehashes and ports of old games.

@patbacknitro18 except for the fact that literally thousands of fans want it to come to the switch. There is even a petition. There's no reason not to port it.

@Zhitera it looks like @patbacknitro said the same thing? 'Theres no reason at all for the series not to come to the Switch'. Don't your comments agree with each other?

For one is love to see the series arrive.

Of course they want to put DMC Trilogy on Switch. The CEO must be going giddy at the prospect of putting one game on the card and having TWO other games as download codes and charging a premium for the privilege. Sorry Capcom, you managed to suck any hype out of your Switch releases. Well done.

@GrailUK Ha beat me to it, was just writing the exact same thing

Would love to play the first 3 on switch, and thinking about it never actually finished 3

Looking into my crystal ball, I see a near future where Capcom has just announced DMC HD Collection for Switch. Europe is getting it digital only, while North America is getting a physical copy with only DMC 1 on card and a download voucher for 2 and 3.

I wish they beefed up the switch a bit more in terms of power, it would open the platform to current gen games. 4gb ram in 2019 is nothing, my phone has more than that, not to mention storage. I'd like to see it next year.

@KingBowser86 unfortunately for Switch DMC5 is developed using the RE engine and looks to be pushing even the enhanced consoles to their limits. I don't see any problems for any of the others though

Whilst the devil may cry games are good don’t see the point of the older ones like 1-4 coming to switch we have Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 which are pretty much the same kind of game if anything this kind of game was perfected by the time the fist Bayonetta came out the older dmc games don’t feel as well crafted

I'd be good with just 3 and 4. 1 is okay, and 2 is a freakin' trainwreck, but 3 and 4, especially the special editions, are excellent!
Really looking forward to 5's release next week!

Capcom, announce the resident evil games on physical cartridges, f÷%#ing cheapskates.And while you're at it announce a new Monster Hunter for Switch.

@Gs69
As both were made by Hideki Kamiya it's not surprising that DmC and Bayonetta are similar.

There's no chance of DmC5 because it's made with the engine that RE7 and RE2 remake (the original another Kamiya game) used; so it would have to be retooled or streamed to be on the Switch. Ports of DmC 1 - 4 would seem a bit pointless, as the aforementioned Bayonetta has superseded them. I'm much more excited for Bayonetta 3 than DmC5.

So far Capcom is just throwing it's old catalog at the Switch to make easy money. I bought the Street Fighter collection and Okami but I'm not buying any more (unless it's a PS1 or arcade Strider port).

@CaPPa @Varkster whilst I agree the dmc are definitely worth replaying I just don’t want to be paying full price for something I have played to death and the Bayonetta games in my opinion are superior in every respect . I love Capcom they have always been one of my favourite developers since the days of strider and I bought the street fighter collection which I thought would be amazing and whilst I still enjoy it I think there are too many compromises 3rd strike for example one of my all time favourites games is just inferior to the Dreamcast version which is like nearly 18 years old I just think they have an attitude of oh that will do never seem to try to improve the games just give us sloppy ports

@Gs69 I agree. I think DMC 3 and probably the newest one are more worthy to replay since the others did not hit the mark, (DMC 1 did not have much of that attitude from anyone except Dante. DMC 2 Dante is just too serious and takes away his carefree attitude. I am not too sure about DMC 4 though- haven't played it).

@MysteryCupofJoe yeah not played dmc 4 myself I just feel a lot of developers see the switch as second rate and don’t bring anything new or make any improvements and then wonder why their games don’t sell

Cant see DMC5 coming, but DMC reboot would work. Collection would work.

Let's start with those.

I’m sure DMC 5 could be done obviously a few comprises would be required on switch but still would look great I’m sure.

Do it, Capcom! I need this on the go.

Could be fun...but will it be as good as Bayonetta 3 or Astral chain?
