Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening is a terrific game that has aged astonishingly well, a fact that becomes clear within moments of playing it today.
A good excuse to play it today is Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition, which recently came to Switch. It’s the same excellent game with the addition of a weapon/style switching mechanic, practically the one thing it needed to stand next to its modern sequels.
The Special Edition is the best version of an already great game. Can’t say fairer than that.
0:00 OK so they actually put you in the game.
This game is to DMC what 4 was to Resident Evil. There have arguably been better games in the series since then, but it’s still THE benchmark for a lot of fans.
Very disappointed we didn’t see cucumber succulents thoughts, I only buy based on popular streamer impressions…
Dmc3 is so sick, especially with style switching and the weapon system implemented. I would personally agree I like it more than 5. Just finished Vergils levels last night!
“you can switch fighting styles on the fly”
Sold.
well.. this brings so much memories.
Jim, there’s only one thing that needs to be said about DMC3.
Jackpot!
* inhales deeply *
*SWORD TRICK SWORD TRICK SWORD TRICK SWORD TRICK GUNSLING- SWORD TRICK SWORD TRICK ROYAL GUARD TRICK GUNSLING- TRICK SWORD ROYAL GUARD*
They already had me at Handheld DMC 3, then they just poured a tonne of icing on the cake with being able to swap styles on the fly.
I like that the switch has a lot of ports of games I missed. I never played DMC3. I might play it now that I can on handheld.
I have a feeling we’re going to see that jester a lot now.
Yes, Jim, we’ve all seen the clown slap his butt already.
This is Jim’s most glorious opening ever.

Capcom has really been killing it for the past year and a half, putting out consistently high quality games and remakes. Really hyped for RE3!
“I ve never – played – a video game in my life, I am doing my best here”
Really nailing those kinda ‘Videogame-Journalist’ Jimpressions
“You can play it while you have a poo”
Please use this in a future marketing campaign, Nintendo. Please.
Huh? DMC 1 didnt seem cringey I thought–
“Fill my dark soul with light!”
Oh that’s right I forgot
