Rejoice fellow Switch owners, for the original Devil May Cry trilogy will soon be complete when Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition launches on the Nintendo Switch eShop on Februrary 20th 2020 for £20... well, at least it's a release date and price which is easy to remember.

Check below for the details and... not a lot else as Capcom doesn't seem to have released a video yet...

Devil May Cry 3 serves as a prequel for the iconic action series, unfolding years before the original Devil May Cry with a younger version of Dante. This origin story explores the journey leading up to and culminating in Dante’s face-off against his twin brother, Vergil, who is set on unlocking a gate to the demonic realm. Dante must use his trademark sword Rebellion and dual pistols Ebony and Ivory to stop Vergil and prevent the world from becoming infested by demons. Along the way, players will gain insight into many aspects of the series from the first encounter with fan-favorite Lady as well as the beginnings of Dante’s shop and origins of the series name.

Devil May Cry 3 continued the series’ trademark for intense, non-stop action with flair, while introducing the new “style” based combat system with six selectable options including Swordmaster and Gunslinger that change up the gameplay. Each style has its own range of features, and players can power up their favorite style for increased special attack abilities, bringing an extra level of strategy to the action. Devil May Cry 3 also introduced the ability to switch between currently equipped weapons on the fly for additional combat freedom.

Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition brings the full stylish action package to Nintendo Switch, offering the addition of Vergil as a playable character and the 9,999 floors of the “Bloody Palace” survival mode. The system’s handheld mode offers the added flexibility of playing on-the-go for the first time. Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2 are each currently available for digital download on Nintendo Switch for MSRP $19.99 for fans looking to get in on the stylish demon hunting action right now.

In fairness, Devil May Cry 3 is a very good game indeed, though it should be noted that you can already purchase the entire trilogy and in physical form no less for under £20... it's a great shame because had all three games been released on the Switch for even £25 - £30 for a boxed release then I'm sure these games might have fared a lot better on the system.

However, if you've yet to play any of the Devil May Cry series and only own a Nintendo Switch then these games are still well worth picking up, only it might be worth waiting for a sale price.

Will you be buying DMC3 when it comes out on the Switch? Or do you feel that Capcom could do a lot better by its fans who own Nintendo platforms? Have you already played the games many years ago?
