Gamers are gearing up for the release of the Resident Evil Origins Collection―which includes HD remasters of the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero―and Resident Evil 4 on the Nintendo Switch™ on May 21, 2019.
Capcom fans have now been treated to some even more delicious news. The company has revealed that the original Devil May Cry will be released on the Switch.
The Resident Evil remaster was released in 2002 as a remake of the original PlayStation game released in 1996. Everything from the graphics to the outline of the story was given a new edge. It received critical acclaim with many praising it had succeeded in being scarier than the original while also adding more depth to the already deep story. It was a faithful adaptation that was more shaped to the modern market and play style at the time of release. Capcom also produced the documentary Wesker’s Report which provided backstory to the game series.
Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster was released in 2016 as a remake of the original 2002 Nintendo GameCube game. It serves as a prequel to Resident Evil. The original game introduced several different gaming mechanics including “partner zapping” in which players can switch between both main characters, Rebecca and Billy, to use their unique abilities and solve puzzles. The high-definition remake saw the introduction of a new play mode called Wesker Mode where the player takes control of Albert Wesker.
Resident Evil 4 was the first game in the series to adopt the over the shoulder third-person view perspective. The game is lauded for having a huge influence not only in the Resident Evil series but the video game industry as a whole.
The original Devil May Cry was released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2. It introduced the world to its iconic demon-hunting vigilante and superhuman power-pushing protagonist Dante. The franchise has garnered a huge fan base and has seen anime, comic and film adaptations. As of March 20, 2019 the series has sold over 19 million copies.
Fans can now look forward to playing the game in all of its hack-and-slash glory on the Nintendo Switch. The release date has yet to be announced.

The Street Fighter series is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2022. Fans are excited following the announcement that Street Fighter 6 will be coming sometime in 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam! Along with an announcement trailer, characters for the upcoming title have been revealed. Fan favorites Ryu, Jack, and Chun-Li are back along with all eight original ‘World Warriors’ characters from Street Fighter II. A new character for the sixth installment, Jamie, has also been revealed! The game will be powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, previously used to develop Devil May Cry 5, Monster Hunter Rise, and Resident Evil Village. Early footage of the game is extremely smooth, bringing the classic fighting game into a new generation. Fans will be able to engage with three distinct game modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub. The beginning of the newly-released trailer shows off the World Tour mode, taking place in sprawling Metro City. The game will feature an extensive single-player adventure mode. What kinds of experiences await?
Street Fighter 6 will introduce a new ‘Drive’ System, allowing players more free reign when it comes to experimenting with how best to use a particular character. Five different techniques can be used when the Drive Gauge is filled, and these can be used to enhance a player’s offensive or defensive options. Players can also engage an Overdrive Art similar to EX Special Moves from past titles. Fans will notice the TV show-like quality of the announcement trailer. Streamers will find this an incredibly enjoyable game to play while chatting with viewers, as Street Fighter 6 will include real-time in-game commentary with audio recorded by “well-known talent from the fighting game community.” Look for more Street Fighter 6 news coming soon! ©CAPCOM CO., LTD.

Masaya Matsukaze (Ryo Hazuki) Thanks to the fans, I’ve been able to return to the role of Ryo after 20 years, and in my first anime role no less! Shenmue has been a very big part of my life. I hope that longtime fans and new fans alike will enjoy the show and that everyone will be able to experience the world of Shenmue. I can’t wait to see the finished product either! Takahiro Sakurai (Lan Di) I'm Takahiro Sakurai and I'll be playing the role of Lan Di. On a personal note, when I started working as a voice actor, I participated as a test voice during the development stages of Shenmue. That was my first encounter with this work.That was a valuable experience for me.I was so happy to hear that Shenmue would be reborn as an animated series. The world of Shenmue has not faded from my memory in over 20 years. I hope everyone can enjoy it with me!© SEGA / Shenmue Project Information
