Devil May Cry Goes Mobile!

Capcom have announced that Devil May Cry is going to make a 3D appearance on mobile phones...in Europe, that is! The adventure will be based on Devil May Cry 3 and is set to be released this coming February across all European carriers. Here's the whole spiel:
Featuring over 10 hours of gameplay in over 45 missions, Devil May Cry takes the player on a journey of fast and frenetic combo driven combat and mind-bending puzzle solving, typical of the highly successful Devil May Cry series on the home console. Set in a dark unforgiving underworld, Devil May Cry boasts stunning 3D environments and characters, including an array of fearsome enemies. With an arsenal of weapons at Dante’s disposal, including the Rebellion sword and the Ebony and Ivory pistols, and a “style” rating at the end of each stage, players can take advantage of combos and multiple weapon usage to maximise their high score.With the path of the game left in the hands of the player, different routes open up new puzzles, new enemies and new weapons to master.
I'm not one for mobile games. Especially when they lead to certain sequels (Parasite Eve 3) appearing only on cell phones in one country. It could be cool, but damn cell phone screens are tiny and the buttons are, in a word, awkward. We'll just have to see how this one works out on a mobile platform because it could be pretty spiffy. For the press release and gallery of screenshots, make the jump.
