After the unexpected Nintendo Switch turn of the first game, it was a matter of time when the Devil May Cry 2 will arrive – and the latest Nintendo Direct has confirmed it.

„Dance with the devil once again. Set some time after the events of Devil May Cry, this sequel adds even more moves to Dante’s arsenal and brings it to the next level of stylishness. Use the wall run to get the vantage point on your enemies, then assault them with a spinning barrage of bullets using Rain Storm. Reprise your role as Dante, or play as the new femme fatale, Lucia, who prefers deadly throwing daggers to bullets and utilizes her speed with ninja-like reflexes. Build up your Devil Trigger gauge, then transform into a powerful demon with enhanced power and speed. While in demon form, Dante and Lucia can also utilize Devil Hearts — amulets that give them special powers like the ability to fly, super speed or even slowing down time. Devil May Cry 2 also introduces the unlockable bonus mode, Bloody Palace – where players can earn Red Orbs while trying to clear wave after wave of enemies,” Nintendo‘s website reads.

So Devil May Cry 2 is heading to the Nintendo Switch, and its arrival is just mere weeks away, as the Nintendo eShop will have it available starting from September 19. Capcom’s game wasn’t as good as the first, or especially the third one. (We’ll never forget the helicopter boss fight, standing in one place, shooting it, whittling its HP away…)

After all this, we have a reasonable question: when will Nintendo’s portable platform get Devil May Cry 3? It will eventually happen (and even 4 might be plausible, as that one first came out on the PS3 and the X360…).
