Devil May Cry For Switch Is The Same Game Featured In The 2018 HD Collection

They’ll announce them... after the first.

Which, it was always going to be digital only on Switch regardless (you know Capcom), so it’s six in one, half a dozen the other to me.

Glad to hear them confirm it is the remastered version though. Ya never know nowadays

Meh, I'll take whatever I can get really. Interested to try the originals.

I love the original. Flashback central

Yay!! Just happy to finally play it in general

Just give me 3 SE and Im good. No desire to play 2 again. Its not as horrid as its made out to be, but it is dull and doesnt hold a candle to 3, 5, or even 4. In regards to this, Ill grab it if its $20 and the patched version. The original HD release had many issues.

I’m currently playing DMC 4 on PS4. I’m trying to get into the series. I’ll probably just end getting that collection on PS4 too. Might as well.

Probably will be $30, if Resident Evil is any indication. I can completely understand the annoyance for multi platform owners, but I also can see why a publisher would do it. If they assumed “most people could by it cheaper on another console” and stuck with that idea, they could just...not release these at all.

Do they really think people will pay for DMC 2 by itself? That was a benefit of the HD Collection....

No one should support this, it's very lazy.

Yeah, this is a hard pass UNLESS DmC1 is 1/3rd the price of the collection when it originally released elsewhere. Capcom feeding Nintendo fans piecemeal like this to get us to pay a premium on games you can get much cheaper elsewhere is ridiculous. I'll always choose the Switch version of a game over the Steam version, but I'm not going to pay that much more just to play it during transit. Don't get desperate and support shady practices guys, just get a decent gaming PC/laptop.

The title of the article makes it sound like the whole collection is coming over. Still gonna pick this up.

@Angelic_Lapras_King IKR? When I played it originally, I soldiered on, thinking it would be redeemed once I completed DMD and got Super Dante, but no. Instead we got denim costumes. Only went back to it after I had gotten an action replay and messed around with infinite DT and Majin Dante. Without Super Dante I wouldn't even consider playing it again.

@Liam_Doolan Cool! I also looked on the PlayStation Store and the entire DMC HD Collection on PS4 only takes up 12 GB all together, so we have a general idea if they release the whole collection.

Cool! The original was the only one I cared for in the series anyway.

Same crap with Dark Souls, though at least Dark Souls 1 is easily the best in that trilogy (and why we never got Dark Souls 2 on Switch is beyond me, I thought it performed pretty well on switch saleswise). That being said, not releasing the remastered trilogy of DMC seems lazy.

Between Bayonetta 1 - 3, the DMC remasters, and Astral Chain, the Switch is going to be a pretty good platform for character action games soon.

I never thought I ever see day the mainline Devil May Cry games come to a Nintendo console. It goes to show that Capcom loves the Nintendo Switch.

@LaytonPuzzle27 Either that or they just plan on using it as an excuse to get Nintendo to put Dante into Smash Brothers.

So there's a trilogy already,but we're only getting the first one??????????????

The original is the only DMC I've liked nyt I don't think I'm really in the mood to play it again. C'mon Capcom, bring Breath of Fire 1-3 on the Switch, that'd be cool.

No physical version so we're stuck paying the 30 bucks or so for 1/3 of an HD collection we could have gotten a full port of.

You know what, I'm done with this. Capcom is REALLY lazy, charging REALLY high for old games, and cheaping out on physical versions (especially in Europe), so I'm not even importing them anymore.
You either make something worth it (again), or you adjust your asking price, but making almost EVERY release a sour one with too many compromises and sacrifices for the fans...
"Porting costs" and "Switch tax", and then the excuse of expensive cartridges while they don't even release them on cartridges here, and only partly elsewhere...

Obviously. I don't get anyone who thought otherwise (like it straight up being the PS2 version).

I can’t believe Capcom have had to confirm this they would have never lived it down if they just released the ps2 version but it should have been the trilogy you can pick it up for a tenner on other formats any of the bayonetta games render this useless anyway

It's a start I guess. I'm sure it will sell well and then the rest will come later. I'm still waiting for onimusha 2,3

Have DMC-5 (great game)... let me know when DMC-6 is out

If I cared to play this at all, I would have gotten the trilogy a year ago.

No physical, no buy. Sorry Capcom, stop being cheap.

Can't wait to see how much they think they can get away with charging for this

Only announced a week ago? A week feels a long time with our community absorbing announcements like this

This'll be the trial run to see if the series sells well enough before they commit to the rest of the triliogy.

I've been wanting to see DMC on the Switch for ages, seeing this get a separate release at what is sure to be an insanely high price is definitely disappointing. I cannot imagine they will charge only 15 bucks for this when Onimusha: Warlords was already 20.

If the release of the other DMC games on the Switch rides solely on the success of this sure-to-be expensive release on the first game then that's definitely disappointing.

@Angelic_Lapras_King "Do they really think people will pay for DMC 2 by itself?"

raises hand

@Spudtendo hmmmm, a possible total of 90 bucks for three games on Switch or 500 bucks for a vacuum-voiced jack-of-all-trades suitcase never designed for handheld modes and not even offering much of a tabletop mode until you get a gamepad or at least a mouse to replace the physical ordeal called "touchpad"? Decisions, decisions...

yeah nah I will pass. Capcom doing some crazy, let's say, customer unfriendly things right now. They might turn into Japanese Activision like this.

Yeah, I'll stick to my super cheap Steam collection if they want to play the piecemeal the customer to death game on Switch.

Anyone who pays more than $10 for this is a fool.

no physical release

only one game from the collection

So why couldn't they sell us the collection?

Yay. I anxiously await the announcement of the sequels. Milk it happen Capcom.

Since the HD collection contains all three games for 29,99, I assume this will cost 9,99 then?
Hahahahaha!!! F u Capcom!

@nhSnork

Let's not turn this into a platform war, my point is that Nintendo fans shouldn't be so desperate to play a game that they'll let a publisher rip them off when they can get an entire collection of games much cheaper elsewhere. Like I said, I prefer to buy games on my Switch but I won't pay a Switch tax when I have other options. If you don't want to play the game on a laptop/desktop, there are other consoles where you'll get better deals on Capcom games.

I wasn't interested much before.

I'm sure as Hell not interested now.

@Spudtendo I rather wait till it's on sale before buying.

I doubled dipped for games like Fairy Fencer F and Final Fantasy X. At least they didn't rip switch owners off like Capcom has been doing.

I just hate that Capcom is holding games hostage and forcing Switch owners to buy these games at insane prices if they want continued support from them

the whole collection cost 20 euro on physical disc on PS4, you could buy it digital on sale for half that price. I'm afraid this will cost WAY MUCH more than 5 euro but it shouldn't

@liljmoore

Absolutely, I'm not telling people to not get third party games on Switch. Just picked up FF12 myself because it's the same price that the game originally was when it launched on other platforms. I just have a problem with Capcom specifically splitting their collections up to get Switch owners to pay for each game individually so they end up spending 3x as much as other platform owners for the entire collection. It's shady and I really don't see why Nintendo fans should be so desperate that they'd give in. They aren't doing themselves any favors.

Same approach I am taking to RE4; sale. Hopefully by Halloween.

@LaytonPuzzle27 capcom like money is all. Must make business sense to get it done.

Yeah, if they're just gonna give us a copy/paste without improvements, it better be really really cheap in price. $14.99 at the most. Otherwise, why not release the trilogy for $30 and call it a day, Crapcom?

@Spudtendo it's not about platform wars, it's the whole point about options. What other consoles are these Capcom deals on? Several TV-chained ones and one that streams to your Vita (adequate control scheme not guaranteed) if you're ready to pay through the nose for tethered mobile data? Rhetorics like yours label people "desperate" simply because they still don't get the memo about gamers with lives and wacky work schedules where portability is no longer a way to play games but practically THE ONLY way to manage to play games. Even though there's a whole poster child country for this phenomenon (and hardware sales therein speak for themselves). And Switch remains superior to any other portable/streamable device that can run the subject of your price drama.

The drama about a price that will be mowed down by eShop sales in mere months. As all of them eventually do.

Capcom and their stupid "We will continue to test the Switch with more ports" situation. Where's that Devil May Cry 5 port that we were promised after getting Dragon's Dogma for Switch? Though I like the original game this was not part of the deal Capcom.

Time for me to formulate a Capcom strategy again. So what I will initially do is wait to see if all three come, and if they decide to create some kind of digital bundle, discount, sale for all three. I'm almost certain this game will be in the 15 to 20 range. If we're lucky about all three coming, then it would be $45 for 15 a piece, $60 for 20 a piece. Anything more than that I absolutely would need a sale before I dive in.

@nhSnork

All I'm saying is that supporting shady business practices just because it's your only option isn't a great excuse, and all it does is hurt Switch owners who both have no other options and those who do. I'd like to get the DmC trilogy on Switch, but I'm not going to get ripped off. I'm happy that you can wait for it to go on sale, but unfortunately I'm sure there are going to be a ton of people who buy it day one. It's their money, they can do what they want, but it's sad and Capcom is just going to keep getting away with this.

@Spudtendo I'm not seeking or making excuses here either - just explaining logical preferences that you seem to be misreading. And that Capcom may well be aware of in their policy with trying to get a special gain from a special console. As I just explained above, there are audiences like me with whom Switch makes the pricing competition on other hardware irrelevant, so companies don't have to worry as much about launch pricetags (and for the record, whether I wait for a sale on such a game myself or not depends on a bunch of other factors including my immediate interest, backlog and planned expenses; for what it's worth, I've bought World of Final Fantasy at similar prices in their launch periods on Vita and Switch, and I bought RE Revelations full price despite already having it on 3DS by then). Customer-friendly? No, and I wouldn't ever expect a company's policy to be friendly to me by default, especially since I consider "customer goodwill" concept a toxic piece of hypocritical garbage as well. Shady? Again, no - and shady business practices are something you alert the law realm about and take to court, not just caution random people on internet blogs against. Regardless of whether you paint it as "caring for other Switch users who get hurt" - which, again, I'm not good at pretending to have ever done either.

Unless it's fixed from the ps3 and 360 versions, no.

They will sell it at 30 unfortunately, but i notice that Capcom games get discounts a lot more times then 1st party games and some other 3rd party games.

This will then lower their games around 15 to 20 bucks and that causes them to be very noticeable in the Eshop too.

If it wasnt for that then id be annoyed too but i kinda see where they are going with this. Though doesnt mean i defend it, but i can understand their business plan to make some profit.

Crapcom back with the crappy practices on Switch again.

I’m obviously confused as to why it isn’t just the collection as a whole, but if this suggests the other two will release individually, then it’s actually a god send. I really only want DMC3 🤷🏻‍♂️

@John_Deacon probably more. I wouldn't be surprised if this is $40. And the HD collection retails for $30, and can be had for as low as $12-ish depending on platform if you shop around. They're currently in the process of overcharging for Resident Evil by $10 per title, so it wouldnt be surprising.

You know what time it is? Paying 30 Dollar for one game digitally...while on other systems you can get the trilogy on disc for the same price. Its always like this!
