The chances of Dante appearing in as a DLC fighter has increased dramatically, as something strange is going on with the Nintendo Switch port of Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition that could hint at a crossover.
Dante has been a highly-requested character for the Super Smash Bros. series for a long time. There are already Capcom reps in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in the form of Ryu, Ken, Mega Man, Rathalos (as a boss monster), and numerous assist trophies, so it's clear that Capcom is supportive of letting its characters appear in the game. The only question now is whether recent developments are hinting at Dante's arrival in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Something Is Happening With The Switch Version Of Devil May Cry 3
Producer Matt Walker uploaded a post to the official Devil May Cry Twitter 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:page hinting at big things for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition on Nintendo Switch. According to Walker, something new was coming to the Nintendo Switch port of the game, but he didn't specify what it was. The one thing that Walker did specify was that the fans should keep an eye on t﷽hree different dates - January 16, January 30, and February 13.
The fans have been speculating that one of the two January dates could be hinting at an upcoming Nintendo Direct, as many are expecting Nintendo to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:host one this month to flesh out the Switch's 2020 schedule. The last date is the one that should be interesting to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans, as the last character in the Fighters Pass is meant to be released in February. It's possible that there will be an announcement leading up to the release of Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition on Nintendo Switch (🧸which is due to launch on February🍷 20) with Dante being released shortly after.
Devil May Cry 5 Might Be Coming To The Switch
Surely Nintendo wouldn't be using the long-awaited addition of Dante in the Super Smash Bros. series to promote a port of a fifteen-year-old game? Maybe, but there is a chance that a more recent Devil May Cry game could be heading to the Nintendo Switch.
Devil May Cry 5 director Hideaki Itsuno has said in the past that a port of the game to the Nintendo Switch is possible if 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen sells well. The fact that the Nintendo Switch version of Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition is receiving unique content suggests that Capcom is indeed happy with the sales of the other Devil May Cry games. It's possible that the sales of the Devil May Cry titles, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, and the glut of Resident Evil ports (despite the increased price) has convinced Capcom that a port of Devil May Cry 5 for the Switch would be an interesting proposition. A version of Devil May Cry 5 for the Nintendo Switch would be the perfect opportunity for Dante to finally make his way to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in both his classic and older forms.
The Series Now Meets Hideaki Itsuno's Requirements For Dante To Join Smash
The prospect of Dante coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been brought up in the past. Itsuno said in 2019 that Dante could only come to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate if the Nintendo Switch had some Devil May Cry games, as no Devil May Cry game had ever been on a N𝐆intendo system in the past. Dante had appeared in the occasional crossover game on a Nintendo console, but he stuck to the other systems for his main adventures.
Since Itsuno's interview, there have been two Devil May Cry g♎ames released for the Nintendo Switch, with another on the way. The requirements that he laid out have been met, so there is no reason why Dante can't make his way to Final Destination.
