From the very first brawl I was enamored by it, and having played Devil May Cry 3 countless times it still took some getting used to, despite the fact that it was present in DMC4 and 5.įor those who aren’t aware, the cutting and pasting of this idea in an older entry is a pretty big deal. If you really don’t like the idea of the new style switching mechanic (called “Free Style”), you can turn it off - but you shouldn’t.
But it also clearly cements the expectation that Capcom should be putting forth the same amount of effort for other ports if they’re going to be charging so much for them.įirst, some table-setting. Thanks to some actual new and impactful additions, that’s not the case.
The thing is, I was afraid Capcom would rush it to the eShop and ruin its re-introduction to a whole new audience, kind of like how they did with the polarizing HD Collections and the first two over-priced Switch ports. It’s a game that demands respect despite the fact that it’s over 15 years old. Devil May Cry 3 is a classic that is only rivaled by the most recent entry and a few other heavy-hitting action projects like both Bayonettas and Ninja Gaiden Black.
