Just as with the original release of Devil May Cry 5, this Devil Hunter Edition for Switch 2 arrives during a golden age for Capcom, which is enjoying the success of RE Requiem and Pragmata while awaiting the new Onimusha. The overall quality of this edition is excellent, and in terms of content, there's nothing to complain about despite the absence of some features found in the previously released Special Edition. It's also a shame about a few technical glitches, though they don't significantly detract from the overall quality of the experience.

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition may not be a definitive port of the game, but few players would bother complaining about what's missing. This is still a fast and fluid action title with plenty of content and a campaign that never feels like it's dragging along. Most importantly, this is a port that looks just as good as its more powerful console brethren without any performance drops. Capcom has already proven in the Switch 2's first year that it can be trusted to bring out solid ports of its games with minimal compromise, and DMC5 keeps that streak going.
While Devil Hunter Edition may not match the suite of technical features and bonus modes from the Special Edition, players will still find that this is an exceptional port of a great game that is unbelievably hard to put down. Vergil is here, and he is still the most important addition. Devil May Cry 5 is widely regarded as one of the best games Capcom released during its redemption arc, which kicked off with Resident Evil 7, and for good reason. It's jam-packed with polished action, thrills, and some of the most refined and ridiculous 3D combat ever designed.
Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is a great way to play one of Capcom’s best action games on Nintendo Switch 2. The game still looks impressive, the combat still feels fantastic and the included extras give returning players enough reasons to jump back in. Vergil is a great addition, the Mega Buster and other bonus weapons are fun to use and the 60fps performance makes sure the action remains fast in both docked and handheld mode. If you never played Devil May Cry 5 before, this Devil Hunter Edition is an easy recommendation.
The Hunters Edition of DMC 5 suffers from a few shortcomings on NS2 compared to current-gen platforms, but it preserves the smoothness we know from Devil May Cry 5, successfully delivering a portable experience worth trying for Nintendo Switch 2 owners.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition works wonderfully on the Nintendo Switch 2, finally giving Nintendo diehards the chance to experience one of the best Capcom games of the last decade. It looks fantastic and runs incredibly well, once again impressing me with how far ahead the Switch 2 is of its predecessor. This is a great way to play Devil May Cry 5, and it’s never a bad time to revisit such a brilliant title.
Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition on the Switch 2 proves that stylish action can thrive on handheld hardware without losing its edge. With its trio of distinct characters, slick combat systems, and definitive DLC package, it delivers the depth and replayability the series is known for. It might not be worth the double dip, especially if you've already played the earlier current generation versions, but those who haven't will definitely want to consider this.
Devil May Cry 5 was great back in 2019, and it's just as good now. Getting this quality of an experience on a mobile device would have blown my mind back then. It's becoming the norm for CAPCOM's Switch 2 ports.
One of the best games in its class — Capcom's RE Engine delivers a remarkably smooth experience on Nintendo Switch 2, making this an absolute must-have for fans of the series and the genre alike.
