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.

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.
