Before Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD RemasterLaunched on PlayStation 4 and Switch next month, the publisher Sega provided the Internet a nice high resolution version from „Presentation of Dante from Devil May Cry serial sticker ”from the original PlayStation 2 box in North America. The graphics have inexplicably used in memes Since then, the latest corroborated with other absurd humor on the Internet, such as Chungus mare.
“The development team initially thought it was a crazy idea to watch a crossover between two different publishers.” nocturne director Kazuyuki Yamai explained on the PlayStation blog. “However, they were also captivated by the idea that the two characters will meet and their battle that will follow. So they brought the proposal to Capcom, and the rest is history! ”
Like the most popular The person series spin-offs, nocturne focuses on befriending and enslaving a group of supernatural entities collectively known as Demons. These potential party members are drawn freely from world mythology and religion; is possible in nocturnefor example, to build a team that includes not only Devil May Cry anti-hero Dante, but also the popular West Virginia cryptid Mothman and the Abrahamic archangel Gabriel.
Although, normally, I would be all about “Quiet, brand” about such a thing, I am also a sucker for high-resolution recreations of works of art hard to find otherwise. Sega is smart to embrace the Dante meme from a marketing perspective (uh, I’m sorry, just writing that phrase makes me sick to the stomach), but more importantly, it’s good to have such types of historical artifacts available for archiving.
And memes, of course. I can’t forget them.
