"These HD collections that videogame publishers are releasing are brilliant ways for people to experience game series they never got around to. A HD collection should be the best representation of that videogame, but truth be told, some publishers see this as quick cash in or don’t put as much love into the conversion as they should do. Thankfully, Capcom have done a good job in making the Devil May Cry HD Collection worthwhile, with only some small irksome features - mostly down to the oldness of the games - that get in the way of a great collection."
The Humble Capcom Summer 2022 Bundle just launched. It features games like Monster Hunter World, Devil May Cry 5, Street Fighter V, and more.
Capcom will release a physical Devil May Cry Triple Pack for Switch in Japan alongside the worldwide digital release of Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition on February 20, 2020, the company announced. It will cost 4,990 yen.
Devil May Cry Triple Pack will include Devil May Cry on a game card, and a download code for Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition.
Devil May Cry HD Collection is $20 on PS3 & 360 and $30 on PS4, XO & PC
This price is a disgrace
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.
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.
Yeah all publishers try premium prices on newer systems. Square Enix still charging £15+ for old final fantasy’s on iOS
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.
And that was outrageous. I don’t care how good the game is, $60 for a side scroller is just atrocious.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
I think just one was (Tropical Freeze). I can't think of any others that were
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.
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.
$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.
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.
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.
I still don't understand why Capcom didn't exert effort to fix the cutscenes. It's a great value (especially for Xbox players), but that's been bugging me in every review I've read.
