Do you expect Devil May Cry 3 on Switch at a "Reduced" price if you own either DMC1 or 2?

[Jawmuncher]

Currently DMC 1 and 2 are on the switch. While it isn't confirmed, DMC3 is likely to come to Switch in the next few months to complete the collection. DMC3 is typically agreed upon to be the best all-around title in the series when it comes to both Gameplay & Story, so many would be quite happy to see it hit the switch.

However, the pricing for the current DMC titles on Eshop definitely stick out even to the most hardcore DMC fans. $20 for each title if DMC3 follows the trend, makes the Switch HD Collection $60 ($55 if you grabbed DMC1 on sale for $15 awhile back). A high price to be sure, considering the MSRP of the same collection is $30 for all 3 on PS4/X1/PC and the switch versions thus far offer no new features.

But what if Capcom followed a recent offering they did for another series? Resident Evil 5 & 6 are currently 33% off if you own RE0, REmake, or RE4 digitally. They even put these titles on sale when this promotion was first offered. Allowing you to grab all of the current RE games for the same MSRP as they are on other consoles.

A similar promotion doesn't seem outlandish for the DMC series, even if DMC3 is a fan favorite that would likely sell $20 on its own. The best outcome (albeit very unlikely) would be "If you own DMC 1 and 2, you get DMC 3 for free" with a 25% off sale for each title making the price comparable to the other system's MSRP (If you bought them at $20 each you did keep to play them already after-all and you'd still be getting 3 free). The realistic outcome would just be to have some sort of offer comparable to what RE5/6 had.

I know a lot of this relies on how "nice" Capcom is feeling (They don't have to offer any sort of deal/discount after-all), but i'm curious to see what the expectations are from Capcom & Switch fans here. As I know there has been a lot of criticism on their current switch offerings, especially when it comes to higher price with no extra features to justify them in a lot of cases. So something like this even if it's not perfect is at least something that gives off a better image (I personally even as a big RE fan, refused to buy the ports until the prices lowered and I typically grab any RE port Day 1).

Capcom is back, but they're not that back.

 

[cvxfreak]

Seems pretty plausible for some kind of incentive to be offered!

In Japan, the RE5/RE6 discount is only like 10% though, lol

 

[Alastor3]

no

 

[Boddy]

Maybe a pity discount for owners of DMC2

 

[Vampirolol]

Capcom can be both the best and worst in this industry. I vote for worst on this issue.

 

[shadowman16]

I just want to know if we are to expect a physical release of the three games (even if only one game is on the cart), mainly just because I only want to buy DMC2 on the Switch once.

 

[Strings]

No, but DMC3 is like the one game that doesn't need it, because it's just that fucking good.

... Still can't believe they released DMC2 alone and at that price lol.

 

[Alvis]

Lmao they're gonna increase the price because fuck you

 

[Papercuts]

These dudes are dropping DMC2 as a stand-alone purchase. They don't give a single fuck.

 

[Mekanos]

Fuck no they won't lol.

I want a discount for already owning the HD Collection.

[reminiscingLemon]

this is capcom we're talking about so i fully expect them to put DMC2 on offer for owners of 1 & 3. Because who in their right mind is paying full price for that in 2019?

 

[Zalman]

Excited for the physical version of this collection, which will include DMC1 on the cart and download codes for 2 and 3.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I didn't know the discount for RE5 & 6 was only 10% in Japan, that's pretty rough.

 

[Lant_War]

Capcom isn't a charity, they gotta eat too.

 

[Rendering...]

They should give away DMC2 to customers who buy either 1 or 3. To satisfy people's morbid curiosity.

 

[Mekanos]

I'm genuinely afraid Capcom sent DMC2 out to die and when it underperforms they go "no DMC3 for you."

 

[Elephant]

Absolutely not! I wouldn't expect Capcom to do that. I certainly wouldn't expect Nintendo to let that happen on their console, they're not exactly known for their monetary generosity.

 

[Son of Sparda]

Lmao

Ofc not.

 

[Kiraly]

It's going to be $30, a ten dollar increase over the first and second. Save this post.

 

[AgentLampshade]

It should be a free apology to those who bought DMC2.
It won't be, but it should be.

 

[snausages]

If you bought dmc2, then dmc3 should be more expensive. Just because

 

[Deleted member 4353]

They want people to pay $60 for the whole collection so nope.

 

[Windrunner]

People who spent $20 on DMC2 don't deserve anything.

 

[Oinone]

3 is the only one I'd pay full price for.

[DevilNeverCry]

No. I dont expect Dino Crisis to make a comeback either

 

[so1337]

The poll speaks for itself. lmao

 

[Bazry]

Just wait a few weeks instead of buying the day it comes out and it'll be on sale

 

[TeddyShardik]

Not at all. It will be sold for 29.99$.
Everyone knows this is the good one, beyond the genre's beginnings. DMC 3 is a damn, fine game, and Capcom will price it accordingly.

And btw, anyone who bought DMC2 does not deserve a discount. They should be paying a surcharge for buying a shit game, that everyone has known to be a shit game since it's first day. Like, add 5$ to the sucker's bill, he won't complain. He's a sucker! He bought fucking DMC2!

 

[BassForever]

They didn't offer a discount on DMC2 so my guess is no

 

[Lite_Agent]

Lmao they're gonna increase the price because fuck you

Click to shrink...

DMC3 will be 5€ / $5 more expensive than 1 and 2, but if you already own the other two, you get a "discount" that brings DMC3 back to the same price as the other two. Kinda like what they pulled with Revelations 1 and 2 in Europe.

Lmao they're gonna increase the price because fuck you

[Rommaz]

They should charge people who bought DMC2 more.

 

[Jamesac68]

I can't understand why they would give a discount. I mean, it would be nice, but... why?

I mean, why did they give a discount for RE5/6. RE titles need less reasons to sell than DMC. Even the likes of RE5/6 still sell extremely well.

 

[tsab]

I expect zero discount from capcom

 

[erlim]

I wish they sold these games separately on other platforms, do not want DMC2.

 

[Lua]

HAH,that's so funny op.

This is company that decided it was ok to sell dmc 2,that complete garbage, at 20 dolars, when the collection is 30 on other consoles. We're gonna be lucky if it isn't 30, and brace for the possibility of 4 being 40.

 

[Okabe]

Discount?

Hahahahah... no I need my vacations paid for somehow

 

[ILikeFeet]

Why in God's name, should switch owners expect anything good from Capcom?

 

[Adulfzen]

Capcom doesn't deserve any benefit of the doubt with the way they've been handling their Switch output.

 

[Brhoom]

 

[Dreamboum]

nice one OP

 

[Zomba13]

It'll be more expensive if you've bought DMC2 as a punishment.

 

[Kunomori]

3 should be 60

 

[RecRoulette]

Only a discount if you didn't buy 2, because they know if you bought 2 you're gonna buy whatever they put out.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

It's the best one of the trilogy so I'll do you one better.

it's up-priced to 30 dollars for quality tax.

 

[Dizastah]

Seriously?......

 

[mavericktopgun]

You forgot the "hahahahahahaha" as a poll option.

 

[LeoDroid]

I'm going with the optimistic choice of DMC3 for X amount off if you own DMC1 or DMC2 because they did it with the RE ports, but the way Capcom is handling these Switch ports is far from the best unfortunately :P
