<p>Capcom has confirmed over on Twitter that the original chapter of the long-running <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/devil_may_cry">Devil May Cry</a></strong> series will arrive on the Switch this Summer. This marks the first time Dante’s game will be made available on a Nintendo platform. But is Capcom playing it slightly too safe by just bringing the original outing instead of the <em>whole</em> PlayStation 2 trilogy to the system? Further details (like the price point), will no doubt be revealed in time.</p>
