Devil May Cry 3 Switch Release Shows Capcom Hates Nintendo Fans

Devil May Cry 3 is coming to Switch, but an absurd price and split collection show that Capcom is all about screwing over its fans.

[LightofDarkness]

Well this is a tad melodramatic.

[Gazondaily]

Just a little bit

[mikeslemonade]

Why do you want to play dmc3 on switch anyway.

[wheresmymonkey]

And completely redundant. Capcom have already said the collection is coming out on a cart next year (granted two and three are download codes.

The only problem is pricing, but that's true of all publishers putting games on new platforms. Look at Stadia. they expect you to pay £50 for a selection of ports you can get on pretty much every other platform for half the price.

[RosweeSon]

Yeah all publishers try premium prices on newer systems. Square Enix still charging £15+ for old final fantasy’s on iOS

[Segata]

They could not bother to put 3 PS2 games on the card is lazy. DQXI put extra content and fit it onto a card. Witcher 3 entire game and DLC are there. Capcom has been lazy on Switch. Mega Man collection had 8GB download. If they could fit the HD collection on a 360 disc (which was DVD9) then they can put it on a Switch card. Capcom has been lazy and overcharging on Switch ports.

[RosweeSon]

Most articles are these days.

Switch ports tend to always have a high price. Even the first-party Wii U ports such as Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze were sold at $60.

[King_Noctis]

And that was outrageous. I don’t care how good the game is, $60 for a side scroller is just atrocious.

[wheresmymonkey]

Why? It doesn't take any less hard work and effort to make a side scroller than it does any other type of game and Tropical Freeze is a bloody big game too.

[bloop]

"It doesn't take any less hard work and effort......"

You reckon they put in the same effort and hard work as the likes of R* put in to something like RDR2?

Nah.

[Teflon02]

wheresmymonkey
Lol, they definitely but in less of a effort to make a sidescroller. I LOVE Platformers, whether 2D sidescroller or 3D. BUT I can for a fact tell you a sidescroller of any kind is definitely less of an effort.

[Razmiran]

At least Tropical Freeze is a fun game while RDR2 is a boring slog of a game

[Nyxus]

Some of those Wii U ports were actually more expensive on Switch than they were when they launched on Wii U.

[septemberindecember]

I think just one was (Tropical Freeze). I can't think of any others that were

[Concertoine]

DK was, it cost 49.99 at launch in 2014 and then re-released for 60 lmao. The funny thing is if it was 30 or even 40 i would consider a double dip just to support the franchise.

The only time Nintendo offers any real value is when theyre doing poorly financially (wii u years saw some good deals such as MK8 coming with a free first party game of your choice) or at the end of the generation.

[RosweeSon]

Wii U games RRP Was lower. Not to mention no one apart from the hardcore Nintendo fans played them so they are essentially a new game if you’ve already played them don’t buy them again. If you haven’t like most Nintendo games wether they came out this year or 25 years ago they are still as playable today as the day they were released. Mario kart I paid £36 day1 from amazon for my switch version sure I had a £10 voucher but shop around. NSMBD was barely £35/40. Sure if you go to the official Nintendo store or even worse GAME you’ll be paying £49.99.
Mario kart defo got enough replayability for its price.
One Mario kart sure over 2 generations 4-5. Fifa meanwhile released 5 games all pretty much the same and at a minimum of £39.99 some editions are over £80 per year but £40/$60 is too much for a quality game that can be played for years and years unlike last years FIFA which is outdated within 12 months if not sooner.
Each to their own but I’ll pay £40 for a quality game any day of the week. Specially one I’ll be playing years down the line and if I ever decided to sell ain’t gonna be worth £1 like last years fifa etc. They hold their prices as well 😱🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤓✌🏻

To say Nintendo never offer value (concertoine) is absolute 🐎 💩 people are still doing speed runs on ocarina of time Mario1 off the NES so they charged £40 and 30 years later people still playing them... seems like pretty good value to me.

[Elda]

$20 for one old DMC game is absurd when one can purchase the DMC collection with all 3 DMC games for current gen platforms for the same price of $20 or less.

[Italiano1234567]

Got the whole collection for 10 bucks lol

[PlayableGamez-]

You can say that about most releases on Switch.
The Witcher 3 is $60 while it's $20 PS4/XB1/PC

Not damage controlling for these high prices, but most games (besides indies) tend to be hire on Switch. Doom 2016 is still $60.

[Traecy]

Those prices are ridiculous.

[RosweeSon]

Yeah and that is all down to the publishers Nintendo don’t control the prices for Witcher 3 or doom as I know you know try telling some people that tho 🤦🏻‍♂️🥴 😜 Capcom another one.

[Baza]

Capcom is going to destroy you

[SimpleSlave]

But then again, who doesn't?

[autobotdan]

You can play Devil May Cry V on your android cell phone with the Microsoft Project X Cloud beta right now. And it plays awsome on my cell phone. I own a Nintendo Switch but I am currently playing Devil May Cry V on my cell phone with Project X Cloud and I will stick to that

[bujasem_89]

Finally people utilizing these features. I always had fun with playin AAA games on the phone for years! with a controller and headphones too, full experience since Phones are seriously huge now.

[CrimsonWing69]

Game's Journalism at its finest.

$20 for a game digitally is slightly more than a movie ticket. Self-entitled whiner.

If the price hurts you that much then get it on the other systems you were comparing it to.

[Apex13]

I doubt they do, you attention seeker. They are just greedy and Nintendo need to put their foot down. However, gamers will buy it so oh well.

[Exvalos]

He act like capcom is the only one charging full price for ports, no its every company. Why? Well because.you nintendo dudes accept it and keep paying. Meanwhile I'll head to gamers and snag me a better version of the game on ps4 for like 9.99 lol

[Gordoncordon]

well, capcom doesn't want to put effort on the switch, why it should?

[Knightofelemia]

I have never played any of the DMC games but this is just stupid any idiot would release the HD collection on the Switch and not just one game. I know Capcom loves to milk their franchises to death and then over milks them again. Looks like I am grabbing the HD Colection on either Xbox or PS4 or save even more cash and grab it for PS3.

[Stanjara]

Switch prices are ridiculous. Buy it for Ps4 cause it will go easier on PS5.

[Bluemaster77]

Hate is a bit strong but its obvious that to capcom the switch is an afterthought.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Which is silly given how the Switch is going to be #2 shortly in half the time it took the Xbox One to sell what it has so far. They're losing out on sales because they don't want to put in a significant amount of effort into their releases for Switch.

[Bluemaster77]

Well yea its selling more now because its the newest kid on the block, but come next gen the switch will become less and less relevant to 3rd parties. They simply wont be able to compensate for the performance gulf.

[NukeDaHippies]

He's right, cus this is first time this has happened. If they add date in smash next, it'd be like Capcom is actively trying to murder it's fans.

[DarkZane]

I think the only ones who don't hate nintendo fans are nintendo fans themselves.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

I think that's exclusive to rude and absurd people like you. The rest of the rational thinking people don't hate a person just because they like a certain console maker/developer.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Capcom doesn't hate anyone. They've put out some pretty damn good games this whole generation. I don't have a Switch, but I know these prices are more of a unique thing to it's games. I even seen a lot of people on here saying that Nintendo's own games sell at full price even after they been out for a while, with rare sales.

[gold_drake]

switch ports are expensive.

[ThatDudeMunkee]

Talk about overreacting. This happened with a lot of games well before Devil May Cry. Just wait for the cart, which will feature the first one on it and the other two as digital downloads, or just opt for the HD collection at $20 on other platforms? You also have to remember that these games HAVE to be recoded and adjusted to work on the Switch itself due to its many features (HD Rumble, etc).

[Enigma_2099]

A f***ing DIGITAL download of ONE game cost as much as the PHYSICAL collection of ALL THREE on other consoles. I'm sorry, but how do you people sit here and defend this s***?

[RosweeSon]

Fans gonna be fans haha. You can’t tho just buy it on another platform they’ll soon lower the price when no ones buying

[RosweeSon]

Sega tried exactly the same on ps3 their games were £59.99 Sonys weren’t it soon changed

[Sgt_Slaughter]

This isn't the first time Capcom has been baffling with their Switch releases so I'm not at all shocked this is happening. They don't treat the system like it's a necessity (despite the fact that it's about to pass the Xbox One in terms of global lifetime sales in half the time) and the constant split releases and download codes instead of fitting it all on one cart or even skipping major regions with no physical release shows that.

[ScootaKuH]

That's just ridiculous and a bit childish really.

I get that splitting the collection is a bit nonsensical but to suggest it's because Capcom hates Nintendo fans is just outright stupid. If they really hated them, they wouldn't support the Switch at all surely?

[JokerBoy422]

It's the reality that all publishers take notice of with Nintendo fans. That theyll pay anything for anything. Down vote me all you want but if I wasn't right, things like this wouldnt happen.

[Outlawzz]

They don't hate the fans. Quite the opposite actually they love them because they buy all the overpriced crap they can't get away with on other consoles.
