Devil May Cry 5 On Switch Could Happen If You Buy This Game First

It looks as if Devil May Cry 5 could receive a port to the Nintendo Switch, provided that gamers are willing to purchase another Capcom game on the platform beforehand. The latest entry in the series has received an abundance of praise, with Devil May Cry 5 accumulating some of the highest review scores of any game in 2019 so far. The immense excitement and praise for title, alongside several others from the studio, have reaffirmed Capcom as a top developer in the eyes of some gamers.

Because of the overwhelming positivity surrounding Devil May Cry 5, Nintendo Switch owners have been pining for Capcom’s AAA games to arrive on their console of choice. To Capcom’s credit, the company has been finding ways to cater to fans eager for its games on Switch. Several major releases from the publisher have arrived on the platform, but major software like the critically-praised Resident Evil 2 remake and Devil May Cry 5 are nowhere to be found. With that said, there’s still a chance that the latter could make its way to Nintendo’s console.

During an interview between Devil May Cry 5 director Hideaki Itsuno and German magazine M! Games (via Reddit), it was confirmed that DMC5 may receive a Nintendo Switch port. The caveat? Fans will have to show Capcom some support by voting with their wallets, opting to buy Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen on Nintendo Switch when it releases on April 23, 2019.

According to Itsuno, this is the best way to showcase to Capcom that a Devil May Cry 5 Switch port is viable. During that same interview, Itsuno claimed that the reason Devil May Cry 5 isn’t on Switch is because work on the game began before they had kits from Nintendo. This meant that the team instead focused on PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms during development. The fact that it’s not there at launch makes sense, despite being disappointing for consumers that would love to see Dante shred some demons on the go.

Now, it’s no secret that a port of that magnitude would require a hearty investment from the publisher, but to suggest that the success of Devil May Cry 5 on Nintendo Switch rides on the performance of an entirely different Capcom game doesn’t hold much logic. Considering the fact that the Nintendo Switch is the fastest-selling console this generation, studios should be making games on that platform a priority. The lifetime sales of the Switch are also gaining on Xbox One and could pass the Microsoft-owned system as soon as this year. If that’s not enough reason to port Devil May Cry 5 to Nintendo Switch then that’s ultimately Capcom’s mistake to make. Truthfully, measuring demand based on Dragon’s Dogma just makes the company look undeservedly cagey about its own IP.
