The only noticeable gripe for me with the Switch port would be that given the nature of the fast-paced and often frenetic combat, playing in handheld mode or with a single Joy-Con puts a lot of stress on the joints. The action is as intense as ever and runs beautifully on the Switch whether you’re playing in docked or handheld mode. If you played Devil May Cry 3 back in 2005 or in one of the handful of collections of the series, then you know what you’re getting for the most part. The story itself is fun and over the top and doesn’t require a whole lot of thought, but that’s part of the charm of Devil May Cry and has been the case since the series launched back in 2001. Most notable is series-mainstay, Lady, who is given a very strong motivation to cross paths with the ever-feuding half demon-half human siblings. Along the way, he comes across a few very memorable characters. The player joins him as he hacks, slashes, and shoots his way through hordes of demons while also coming into conflict with his twin brother Vergil who pretty much wants to unleash hell on earth. Following the rereleases of the first two installments in the franchise onto the Nintendo Switch over the last few months, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition joins the fray with easily the best and most stylish version of the game to date.ĭevil May Cry 3: Special Edition serves as a prequel to the series, telling the early days of Dante and his devil hunting adventures.

Now they’ve shifted their focus onto one of their other immensely popular action franchises: Devil May Cry. They’ve found success with remasters and remakes of their various series such as Resident Evil and Mega Man to name a few. Very few video games studios love to rerelease titles from their catalog quite like Capcom.
