The Original Devil May Cry Hunts Demons On Switch This Summer

LOL better be the remaster.

He's so coming to Smash isn't he. Bayonetta Vs Dante is up there with Ryu Vs Ken

Cool, but isn't there a HD remake? I only played Devil May Cry for a couple of hours years ago, so I'll probly pick this one up.

Edit: There is a HD remake, so I'll only get it if this is the HD version.

Yeah, pretty silly that they don't just give us the HD trilogy that's on other platforms. Not a big deal to me, I prefer Bayonetta over DMC any day of the week.

Considering how well the Switch handled the Onimusha remaster I believe this one will run just fine.

Brace for Switch tax!

Wake me when DMC3 is available.

If its physical, I'll pick it up. I've always wanted to try this series.

I got the PS2 game, and then the PS3 triology last year dirt cheap. This will be a triple dip for me then.

It would be great to have all of Hideki Kamiya’s games on Switch, most are now it seems!

Whoa. That was kind of unexpected. I'll hold off 'til we hear anything about the sequels coming to Switch as well though. I wouldn't like to start loving a game and then having to buy a Playstation or Xbox to play the sequels.

I guess this does mean Dante can actually appear in Smash now though. Better than Joker tbh, but still not my preferable choice.

This is not for me as the few times I have tried DMC it has not clicked with me. Love to see the release though as there are many franchises that I have missed over the years and releasing the back catalogue of certain ones is a nice way to catch up.

Day one.....can you say day one if you beat the original??

This is pretty cool! We now need dead or alive and soul caliber for the ultimate portable console. Oh and quite a few others ... Like all Dreamcast games etc but one at a time!

So long as it’s the same price as Onimusha and not Final Fantasy X then we’re good.

I'm getting tired of capcom ports give us something original.

I mean, I do enjoy me some DMC1,
and this is one step closer to DMC3, I suppose?
But I'm kind of bummed out that we're not getting the collection.

How much for this £30, I can only assume they'll drip feed these to sell them at crazy prices like Resident Evil

Pretty excited for this even though I've never played a dmc game. It plays alot like bayonetta from what i hear, Yes? Either way I'll check it out.

Inb4 £30 amirite

Neat but i think i wont buy this if capcom prices this like the resident evil games. Especially with bayonetta around.

@JoeDiddley Right!? Let's get all the Clover Studio games too!

I'll probably snag this if it's $10 (I'd accept $15 if it's HD). I love DMC 1, 3, and 5 to death. I'd get em on every console I own honestly.

Meh. Depends on the price.

Can capcom just port Ultra Street Fighter 4 at this point?

JEEEEEEEEEJ!!! This is SO cool! Soon the Switch will have all my favorite games!!!!

One of the few games I finished in one sitting.
I couldn’t put it down when I got it.

The Son of Sparda will Smash one day.

Smokin' Sexy Switch port.

Dear publishers. Stop publishing more games to Switch. Not enough money to buy them all.

@RadioHedgeFund I think the FF10 remaster was put together well enough to justify its price. 50 USD for 2 games is pretty solid.

Nice, I'll get it (although I'd prefer physical over the digital release we will probably get)

The whole dmc trilogy hd is like 20 bucks on other platforms, if dmc 1 exceeds or even has the same price this shouldnt be bought

why just the first game? why not bring the rest to the switch or the remastered as well?

Yay, more old games...

@superguy123 other platforms all use the same architecture. They had to remake it specifically for the tegra X1. So it won't ever be as cheap.

@Spoony_Tech "can you say day one if you beat the original?"

Only is you use all lower case like that, Day 1 is for new games only.

For people wanting the trilogy, the 2nd game is pretty much universally disliked, so nothing lost there. 3 is good though.

The article saying "Why not bring over the whole trilogy?" is pretty weird since there were already 4 games and the 5th just came out, so why not ask for all 4 or 5, what's the point in having the trilogy if Switch won't get 4 or 5? 1 is just as good as 3 w/o 4 or 5.

And yes, I know about the reboot DmC but nobody cares.

@AxeltheBuizel I keep waving my money in front of them, but they aren't taking notice for several years now...

So no original games from capcom for the switch huh? Another pass for me I suppose. Makes me sad to think how many good, original games capcom would bring to Nintendo platforms in the past. Now we get a port from decades ago,lol. Oh well at least it should run beautifully.

@Trajan thats the worst excuse i've ever heard.

They had to make the hd trilogy from scratch back on ps3 but still launched at 20

Ι'm sorry Capcom, but we're in 2019. Either bring the entire HD trilogy + DMC 4 or go home.

Is it a good game guys? Never played it.

Us switcheads are big bloated cows ready to be milked....

Moooooo....

Milk me.

@Trajan The PS4 and X1 have similar architecture yes, but those are COMPLETELY different from the PS3 and PS2.

Awesome 😀
Would love to have the original trilogy in the go.
Though I am worried it's only the first game being announced. I can see it being priced at £15.99 like other CAPCOM games on e-shop.
Considering you can get the HD trilogy for under £10, this could get pricy to own all 3 on switch if they get released too.

It’s ridiculous they’re going to release only one at a time. They should have done the trilogy. I won’t buy this at $30 each, that’s for sure.

@Cosats we are hardly spoiled WITH TOO MANY GAMES.

Good old Capcom porting old games again at least this time it's one I actually enjoy. Would had been nice if it's the entire trilogy though but oh well this is the same company that hate physical games nowadays.

@Qwertyninty Depends on your preferences. If you enjoy the hack and slash/action genre like f.e. Bayonetta then you'll like this too. It was made from the same creator too(Hideki Kamiya). Although you might find it's controls a bit more stiff and it's camera outdated, since it's a PS2 era game, it's still a great game to start off with the series.
Although typically DMC 3 and 5 are considered the pinnacles of the franchise.

@Syndrome this is the right attitude - I swear if Dragon's Dogma was being released this fall they'd charge 50 bucks for it. We shouldn't support these trash efforts or they're gonna constantly try to rip off Switch owners.

@Indielink Yes, but remaking them for PC/Xbox1/PS4 opens the development up.

@superguy123 And that came out in 2012 when PS3 had twice the install base of the Switch.

Dmc 1 and 3 are great but I can’t help but think that everything that’s good about these games has been taken to the next level with bayonetta if the price is right I will buy but I’m not paying £30 for each one

The HD trilogy is on sale for $18 bucks right now and they'll want 30 for this. No dice, Capcom.

@Dang69 Oh, we're already being ripped off trust me. Just look at the recent Resident Evil and Final Fantasy releases.

Loved playing the first one when it first came out, but knowing Capcom it will be that version download only and probably a £30 price mark

@GrailUK Is he the flavor of the month after Cuphead, Shovel Knight, Scorpion, and Crash Bandicoot?

Physical I hope.

@backup368 Don't forget Doomguy and Goku.

Seriously, who says that characters have to have games on a new Nintendo system in order to be in Smash Bros? When was this ever a "rule"?

@MattFox I played the HD version on PS3 and unfortunately it was pretty blurry. Still fun either way.

Why not just port the Trilogy even if only obe game is on the cart. I bet they charge $40 for this.

So this is like onimusha then ....piecemeal. Well I’d prefer a trilogy pack but I get it ports cost money. Will get. Dante for smash?

Here’s hoping for viewtiful joe!

Jesus Christ — reading through these comments and it just blows me away to see people loving to complain about anything and everything. Is it so hard to be happy or a little satisfied? I personally am excited for this, regardless if it's HD or not.

@Syndrome I agree. But I specifically meant "gonna constantly". Rather than "lately they've been really ripping us off." Dragon's Dogma is a great game at a cheap price. But those RE games woof. FF is from SE not Capcom so I wasn't counting them,

People will complain no matter what. Had this on PS3 and PS2. Great game. They will probably charge $20 like they did for Onimusha, which would be a fair price. Hopefully other Devil games will follow.

@Nerdfather1 That's not what I or others are complaining about. It's Capcom getting shady with how they are releasing stuff on Switch, and how they are pricing them. The HD collection on PS4 was 30 bucks at launch. They're obviously breaking this up so they can charge a bunch more for each game (digital only too) because Switch owners (whether they admit it or not) are constantly hungry for content, because it's a bit anemic at times.

What's the point? This one game will probably cost as much as the HD collection released on every other system. Only an idiot would bother buying the game under such circumstances.

I just do not understand Capcom.

Basically the Switch release schedule is a recap of why people have bought a PlayStation for the past 18 years 😏

@Dman10 Yeah....so 60 bucks for the 3 games (in total) when the other consoles got it at 30 bucks is a fair price? Wtf, this is why companies like Capcom are starting to really take advantage of the user base. It's so frickin sad. I personally can to have more than one console. Not everyone can and they're straight up being slimey.

@Agramonte Yes. It's starting to realllly cement itself as being that way isn't it? The portability of it is still really neat to me...but when all is said and done (like millions did on Wii) I'm definitely not buying the next Nintendo console. Probably (in the future) I'll do what I did on Gamecube and get one cheap the last year it's made and a few games for it. Post 2017 has Switch is the same story same song and dance as everything other Nintendo console after the Super Nintendo.

Dante is coming to Smash Bros Ultimate., thats what this is about which is spectacular and I am happy about it .
That would be awesome.

@Dang69 but can you play on the go on the other systems. And no, streaming doesn’t count. These games appeared on previous PS platforms but not on Nintendo, of course they will be more money.

I might just get the trilogy that’s on the PS4.

@Dang69 You don't even know the price point yet, though. Sure, it's logical to think it'll be overly expensive, but how about you wait until it's revealed? Also, if it's too expensive, just don't purchase it. Problem solved.

@Dman10 Please man - this attitude is has quickly ruined this system. Don't stick up for them. These are realllllly old games - porting them to run on Switch in no way justifies the hypothetical price increase. Doom and Wolf2 came to Switch a yearish after launch on other consoles at full price. That totally makes sense given the effort it'd need. But overcharging for older games, not including all the older games on one card for a collection BECAUSE Switch owners are hungry? That's shameful of them. Don't stick up for that!

@backup368
https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/10/05/sakuraithirdparty/
"Besides that, it might be something like a courtesy to include a character who has the experience of being on a Nintendo platform."

@Nerdfather1 Absolutely - but I am basing this off the price difference for the RE remasters and their Switch counterparts. 10 more bucks (20<30). So 20 bucks a game here (10<20, as the collection of DMC cost 30 bucks elsewhere AND Capcom hasn't done under 20 buck releases digital so far). So certain. That'd be awesome if I'm wrong.

They'll bring them separately so they don't have to release on a cartridge. Individually they can justify digital only.

But whatever.

Its yet another game piled on top of a mountain of awesome exclusives and classics. Pile em up.

i keep hearing a rumour that they gunna sell this for 30 so I hope that's not true.

Great game, but this is really lazy considering you can get the original trilogy remastered on ps3 for peanuts, nevermind current gen. I'd be tempted to get it for the convenience of having it on the go if it was a fiver. In reality it'll probably be something daft like £15.

Not sure yet but I do hope we get some new games from capcom in the future.

Day 1 buy for me

@Tempestryke They didn't release RE Revelations 2 physically. They certainly won't an even older game.

So Capcom, when are you giving the Switch wonderful new experiences? I mean you gave us Megaman 11, okay, but apart from that...?

@Jayofmaya. :/

I... do not understand.

@TempOr I know it wasn't as bad as the Silent Hill Hd Collection rubbish, but I heard it had they all had more problems on the ps3/360 and considering I played through them on the ps2 I skipped it.

@Lemmy_the_Koopa
I am not expecting any new Capcom games on the Switch any time soon. It seems content to keep dumping rereleases on Switch owners.

Dark Void Zero, Ghost Trick, Gotcha Force, Powerstone Collection HD 60 fps, Viewtiful Joe, and God hand would all be welcome additions to the Switch library. Also, it's exciting that we're getting a Devil May Cry game!

Dante would of been better than joker

@JaxonH Generally I agree with you but I think this announcement is some nonsense here. These are PS2 ports. It's pretty commonly agreed that very little has been done to improve them over the original releases. Getting these to run on Switch should not be difficult enough that Capcom has to release them as standalones. The PS4 version of the trilogy is only 12GB for crying out loud.

If this is a flawless HD version and also £15 or less, I'll go for it. Not to sound spoilt, but anything else and they can keep it, just because they've already released a less than perfect HD trilogy that is super cheap now and not even that expensive to begin with.

Would love to buy this and support DMC, but I only have 3GB left on my Switch memory. Can't even download the new Starfox stuff. ;_;

Not really a fan of the series after the first entry but did play this one through on PS2 and loved it! Is this a remaster of some kind or just a port of the PS2 version? May invest if the price follows suit.

This should have at least been the trilogy, definitely not picking up just the first game that I played all the way through back 18 years ago!

@Romeo-75 If this is just to get Dante for Smash Ultimate then it is already too late. The DLC roster had already been decided by Nintendo that is unless Sakurai decided to do 5 more DLC for a season 2 pack.

Dragon's dogma is 3rd on the Switch eShop charts so the remaining DMC games shouldn't be far behind.

DMC'll probably be priced $29.99 but if Capcom wants to be sensible, have it be $14.99.

Can't wait either way.

@Nerdfather1 @Dang69 We should absolutely be angry about this and the RE games. I wouldn't go as far as saying this is "ruining," the system as Dang says, but it is a major frustration. Even if portability is a factor, there is no reason to purchase this for 20-30 when I can have the entire trilogy on PS4 at the same price. I would very much like these games on Switch too. I'm probably just going to buy something else on the EShop that isn't trying to bone me out of my money and then go on to Capcom's Twitter and join all of the other people already there who are very displeased with this.

I don't mind games being split between physical and digital on a release but I do expect the same content that other platforms receive as long as the Switch can handle it.

Dragons Dogma has done the business on the European eShop, at least, so hopefully that bodes well for continued future support from Capcom. Resident Evil 4 is one of my favourite games ever and I was so up for buying it for a 3rd time on a Nintendo platform... but not at the price they’re releasing it, unfortunately. I’m very interested to see how it does sell though! Awesome game.

@Indielink Ruined/ing as in "the genie is out of the bottle" as far as what publishers feel they can get away with. Games sold in empty boxes. Games sold without MOST of the data on the card (not in the clever way Doom did either). Games sold as collections, with half of them as download code (Megan Man Legacy Collection woof). Games sold as a 2 in 1, but one is a download code AND you have to have the card in the Switch for the download game to play! Games compressed to hell because pubs are too cheap to buy bigger card sizes - etc - won't even get into pricing or low effort porting resulting in so much sub 720 content that people will yell at you for being critical about, lol. That's what I'm saying about ruining the system. I heard the Switch got dev kits out in 2015 to start deving on, recently. It's 2019 and this is what we're getting. A 30 dollar collection of remasters cut up into (maybe) 3 releases so they can squeeze more money out of Switch users. That would not fly on Ps4, too much competition.

@MJInnocent Dragon's Dogma is such a good example of how we should have taken the opposite of Capcom's statements for us (to paraphrase) "supporting everything release so we have more confidence in releasing more content for you." When Capcom actually doesn't have the "confidence" they are always asking for, they are more willing to give Switch owners a more honest deal. Sure they were uncertain how Dogma would do versus DMC or RE.

Never played the series and I don't plan to either. Also f*** Capcom and their switch practices.

Strangely enough, the first game in the series is the one I enjoyed the most. I know the sequel gets flack and the 3rd is considered the best, but something about the original just does it for me. Resident Evil is the same way.

Now, if only Tecmo would give us a HD release of Ninja Gaiden Black (or Sigma).

@LuckyErika thanks for the explanation. Yea alot of that does sound frustrating and not enjoyable. Bayonetta is pretty hard to top though, so I guess it makes sense that you cant compare the two. I will say though, I'm pretty used to playing with the fixed camera angles as I've been a long time resident evil fan. Not saying i like it, but I can manage it for the most part. Although it sounds like it has it's issues, it might be worth a look for me if the price is right. They made so many sequels since the original it has to be good in some aspect. Appreciate the info though, thank you.

@Indominus_B actually games install on the HD because they can load faster than the disc. You still have to use the disc because piracy.

I know, every time a game or franchise gets announced for Switch that was previously missing from Nintendo consoles, people instantly start talking about how the main character should join Smash, I know, people are getting sick of it.

But this time, it's Dante, he is the best choice for a Capcom character, and Capcom has already many, many great choices, the only thing holding him back was the lack of a Devil May Cry game on Nintendo consoles, now there's nothing holding him back.

This is excellent news! I need the whole collection though.

Nintendo Switch featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series

Awesome now can someone please port Arkham Origins Already?!

@Indominus_B I'll pay more for a Switch Pro Controller because of the excellent motion controls and rumble. Also it is very comfortable. I see no reason to pay 20-30 for DMC1 on Switch when the first three games can be had for the same price elsewhere.

@Dang69 On a case by case basis I can forgive some of the card size, physical/digital stuff. I think Rayman Legends and the MegaMan Collection are crappy releases because of how Ubisoft/Capcom cheaped out on cards. I'm more forgiving of FF10 given that the file sizes are much larger and cards are more expensive; I feel the same way about other collections like Bayonetta and Banner Saga. I'm also not bothered by Wolf Youngblood as it is a budget release. Youngblood also gets points for being a current gen release that's getting put out the same day as other console versions.

I bet it's going to be $39.99 or $50 lol

Enough with the ports of old games Capcom, the Switch has already proved itself.

@Indielink I actually do agree with you there for the most part. In the other thread about FF12 I didn't complain about textures BECAUSE of the card sizes. ONE big compliment I'll give to Capcom, is they typically don't overly compress their games and they're relatively big and pretty on Switch. Now that could be due to inefficiently in optimizing the game, but I don't think so because games like RE Revelations 2, Okami and Dragon's Dogma are VERY pretty (yeah derpy faces in DD but whatever). I'm not being hypocritical in both complimenting Capcom for not compressing and then hating on them screwing for us on cards sizes and downloads for the full game since they were so cheap they only had MM1-6 on the game card to keep it under 1 gb!

I cut Bayo some slack because it was promoted as Bayonetta 2 (with a free download of Bayo 1). I don't remember what happened with Rayman, can you refresh me? FFX bothers me cuz you have to put in your card in your Switch to play X-2, even though it's a download. Some EA style poop. Really...just pathetic. Ordered off of Play-Asia with both on one card. Wolf Young Blood gets a little bit of a "FINE...whatever" due to it being 30 bucks.

My point is while I agree nothing here RUINS the Switch...do you see that the genie is out of the bottle and how this is so the norm and is something "we" make excuses for? Remember when RE Revelations Collection was announced, for 40 bucks, and only one game was on the card? How much people flipped initially? Here we are 1 and a half later and we have a $60 RE Origins and Zero collection with one game on a card. Those games are way inferior to REV 2 at the very least.

Whingers gonna whinge

Probably be something like $30 with a 15gb download. No thanks!!!

This will be the 3rd or 4th time I buy this game and I’m so excited.
I held out buying Bayonetta specifically because I had a feeling this would be coming out. VERY NICE!!

Leaving out the 2nd and 3rd game is a horrible decision. Nothing but greed. I bet this will be digital only as well.

Pretty cool. Yeah, shame there's no trilogy here, but whatever. I understand Capcom wants to maximize profits, but hopefully they price them better as a result of no trilogy. Despite owning a PS2, I never played this one, so it'll be nice to finally play this.

@Dang69 Yeah pretty much. I don't think you are being hypocritical about Capcom because I feel the same way. They did so well with Okami, Onimusha, and Dragon's Dogma and then they royally gaffed these last couple RE announcements.

Rayman Legends was squeezed down to a 4GB card to save on costs and had some slightly degraded textures and increased loading times. Nothing major but more the sentiment behind it. I did not know that about FF10? Holy crap that is dumb as heck. I was planning on ordering from Play Asia to get them on one card but that cements it. Bethesda, while not a great company overall, has been good to Switch owners.

It's really the pricing that kills me more than anything. I've accepted that the method of storage has made physical versions of certain games implausible (Revelations 2 is a 24GB download on Switch, that was never gonna be physical), but I would like to see the pricings for games line up to console counterparts a little better. Paying 50USD for FF10 or 12 is ok as that was the launch price on other systems. I'm also cool paying more if the dev went through the extra expense of using high capacity cards. But Resident Evil 0,1, and 4 have launched at 20 on every digital service they have ever been on, I have actually gone back and checked, I will not pay a cent more for them on Switch.

I personally think the DmC reboot would be a better fit for the Switch. But I’m sure the diehards would disagree. I have no skin in this game however..

Capcom should do something more to get my attention again.

Never played this series. Probably would give it a shot.

@NESlover85 Why? You're not going to actually fall asleep for a while, right?

@rdm22 Neither have I.

@Switch-a-Roony Why?

@Dustopolis Do not understand what?

@BlueBlur101 Not every main protagonist from an port is going to be in Smash.

@Custom1991
My man, you gotta learn to reply to everyone at once- you spammed like 5 posts in a row.

I admit, sometimes I do a double post every now and then, but this is excess of the highest order

@Custom1991 I will sleep until they announce DMC3 for Switch....good night.

Impressed. I "should" have saw it coming, but never thought ANY DMC's would make the Switch. Oh how my wallet (and backlog) weeps...

@NESlover85 What if the game is not going to be on the Switch and you were sleeping for nothing? I rather sleep for dreaming, not for game releases.

@Custom1991 I was trying to think of a clever reply, but I couldn't come up with anything.

@NESlover85 OK.

@Indielink plus while the "this is fun" quality of game is a subjective-ish thing...Zero and Origins aren't really all that great, right? Like I feel like this is them really testing us. If these sell well all limits are off in how they are gonna try to sell content to us. I mean eff it too, 30 bucks is a pricey for RE4 but that game is so d@mn good I totally can see them squeezing me for a little more.

Agree with you on REV2 given how big the game is at that cheaper price point, but do you remember that initial outrage? For LA NOIRE too? Nowadays people snap at me like I'm personally hurting Capcom for being offended by some of this. So weird.

BTW, when you order FFX, make sure it's the Southeast Asia version, not the Japanese version. Supposedly ONLY the SA version had both games on it because that region largely lacks an eshop or decent internet or don't do any online transactions. One of those things. I'm 99 percent the Japanese one has only one game on it. Some random youtuber claimed it had both, thus the loss of a percent.

@OmegaDestroyer...or someone who would rather play it on the Switch. For instance, I have a gaming PC and a Switch and for me it's an easy choice. It's just much more convenient for me to play on the Switch. I even bought Doom on the Switch after I had bought it on PC. That's a game that looks and plays much worse on the Switch, but it was still the Switch version I ended up playing.

@Custom1991 I'm not saying he will anytime soon, but he was always one of my prime third-party picks. I love the series and personally would lose sleep over seeing a 1v1 against Dante and Bayonetta

Also if we get Amaterasu from Okami in there that would make three Hideki Kamiya characters

And if we get Viewtiful Jo-- alright I'll stop

@Dang69 yep... The "portability" is great - but still need a good reason to actually play on the GO (and worth the price). I do not want to play this at home on my PC or PS4 either

I rather watch CrunchyRoll on my iPhone than play this on my commute.

Another half assed Capcom release.

More games is always good, but unless this is reasonably priced (under $15 max) then I'm not interested, especially as the series was superseded by Bayonetta anyway.

Great news, hope the price is fair
I played 3, 4 and DmC, but never the first one

So it’s this an HD remaster or straight port?

better not be 30 bucks

@NintendoByNature Unfortunately it would far more accurate to say that DMC3 and 4 are closer to Bayonetta from a sheer gameplay standpoint, as DMC1 is a first generation PS2 title and it shows. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fun game even by today's standards, but I can see how someone might get the wrong idea and find it undeserving of the praise that it got.

A penny over $10 and this port won't attract anyone.

And if this port does well, who in their right mind is going to pick up DMC 2 on its own?

Kinda missing a trick with not bundling the trilogy like other systems Capcom....

@savantique fair enough. I'll try to judge it on its on merits when it arrives. Pretty excited for it

"the fifth entry would be considered for Nintendo's hybrid device if Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen sold well enough"

SCREW YOU! I shouldn't have to buy a game I'm not invested in just to get the fifth game on Switch!

@Syndrome I don't know if I'd want them to do that, given their recent penchant for making collections have physical, half dlc. Such an awful practice. 0_o

Yeashhh!!! I Need this now

@Trajan why are you defending these absurd price hikes by capcom? I dont get it

@Aozz101x no worries all the DMC games likely coming and at 30- 40 dollars a piece.
