In roughly an hour we’ll learn what the nextSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC character is. Given that Capcom told fans to look out forDevil May Cry-related Switch news today, it seemed like Dante was going to make the cut. But now that the publisher has revealed this fairly big news story regarding the upcomingDevil May Cry 3Switch port, I’m not so sure.
As a reminder,Devil May Cry 3is coming to Switch soon, and Capcom isswitchinga few things up: in this case, for the better. The third iteration was praise for heralding in the “style system,” a mechanic that allows Dante to swap between multiple control modes (like ranged, melee, defensive and agile) that was re-used in every future entry.
Yet, its introduction was a bit limited. Originally, Dante had to swap between styles through menus. This was rectified inDevil May Cry 4with a d-pad swap system (which was carried over to5), and the Switch edition ofDevil May Cry 3is getting that very advancement.Announced through Capcom’s Unity blog, “Style Switching” will appropriately be available on Switch, including unlockable Doppelganger and Quicksilver swapping (with double taps) on top of the instant swaps to Trickster, Royal Guard, Gunslinger and Swordmaster. Capcomwill be streaming the system in action later today at 5PM ET, if you want to catch it.
As anyDevil May Cryfan will tell you: this is a big deal, and will lead to some pretty insane new combo videos. Dante already had the ability to swap between weapons, but adding style swapping to what is arguably still the bestDevil May Cryis something else entirely.
