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.

LightofDarkness2363d ago

Well this is a tad melodramatic.

mikeslemonade2362d ago

Why do you want to play dmc3 on switch anyway.

wheresmymonkey2363d ago

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.

RosweeSon2362d ago

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

Segata2362d ago

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.

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_Noctis2363d ago

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

wheresmymonkey2363d ago

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.

bloop2363d ago (Edited 2363d ago )

"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.

Teflon022363d ago

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.

Razmiran2363d ago (Edited 2363d ago )

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

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

septemberindecember2363d ago

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

Concertoine2362d ago

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.

RosweeSon2362d ago (Edited 2362d ago )

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.

Elda2363d ago

$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.

Italiano12345672363d ago

Got the whole collection for 10 bucks lol

PlayableGamez-2363d ago

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.

Traecy2363d ago

Those prices are ridiculous.

RosweeSon2362d ago

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.

Baza2363d ago

Capcom is going to destroy you

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio16d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing16d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit16d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg19d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k419d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS19d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6919d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
