In an interview with Matt Walker at USGamer, he discussed the upcoming port of Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition to the Switch. And if you doubt it’s that big of a deal, well, the whole development team almost quit over it. Without it, I imagine the series would be among the many in Capcom’s IP graveyard. Many probably considered the series dead after that (yes, it’s that bad), but the third game raised the bar and helped pull the franchise back up. After the first game basically invented the genre often called ‘character action,’ it was followed by a stunningly bad sequel, Devil May Cry 2. While Devil May Cry 3 didn’t create the iconic action series, in a lot of ways it’s probably the most important entry.
