For those who want a taste of Nocturne 3.0:

It's cool that Gotou came along too. I wonder what the story behind his appearance is.

[StrikeRaider]

All it seems is that they replaced Dante's moves with ones that make sense with Raidou. I have to admit they do look sweet though.

[Futomimi]

It's unlikely that this is going to come to the US, I know... but if it does, I am a total sucker and I'll be all over it.

[dragonlife29]

^ Same.

Man, those gun attacks sounded so satisfying.

[Lord-Ginji]

<,< ... so did Atlus Japan lose the rights to Dante or sell them back to capcom?

looks like they really did just replace Dante is this Marvel vs Capcom all over again?

its still almost impossible for me to find a copy of part 1&2 just because the copyrights expired hope it didnt go to down like that with Atlus too

[unknown]

They replaced Dante with Raidou to promote Devil Summoner 2: Raidou vs KA

[CoarseDragon]

Please, this must come to the US.

Does anyone have a video of the second fight? I heard something about Raidou tryng to confine him

Day one. Please. Let me give you money, Atlus.

What's the point of promoting when the Chronicles Edition is bundled ONLY with the LE of Abbadon King?

And yeah...this swap looks really, really cheap... Even the music is the same...

Lame.

no. The deal was that if Atlus wanted Dante. A particular artist from Atlus had to design the new Demon form for Dante in Devil May Cry 3.

What were you expecting? At least Raidoh fits into this, since he's a megaten character.

I was expecting just a little bit of effort. Is that too much to ask?

Another reason why DMC3 still kicks the asses of it's brethren.

They replaced Dante with Raidou in Nocturne and probably added some storyline connections to make the SMT Devil Summoner: RVKA LE package more attractive, that's how they're promoting the game.

Also people who weren't interested in Devil Summoner in the first place, might pick up the second one (and possibly the first) when they hear that there is possibly a story connection between SMTIII and Devil Summoner 2.

[Azriel Crusnik]

It would be nice if they kept Dante, with the addition of Raidou, but with different story lines in order to attain each of the characters. Also that they add the DDS ability system. So that the player can customize the main character to take advantage of situations.

[Iris]

I wouldn't want the DDS ability system in Nocturne, personally. Part of the fun of it was having to sweat over which abilities I really wanted.

[Gen Eric Gui]

Not to mention that the DDS ability system wouldn't work in Nocturne at all.

[Sepherest]

Heh, the game would be too easy if it used the DDS mantra grid.
Personally I loved the one used in Nocturne because it made you have to think about what you wanted to do with the Demi-Fiend/Hitoshura.
