I don’t agree. With loot boxes, you’re basically gambling, since you don’t know what exactly you’re gonna get and in most cases you don’t even know the odds of getting what you want. Whereas with this, you know exactly how many Red Orbs you’re getting and you know exactly what you’re gonna spend them on.

You mean Raiden?
I don’t think the game balance will be “broken” as in you can’t beat it without buying stuff, but if you could unlock the upgrades through normal play, there would be no motivation to purchase anything.
It’s not loot boxes. You can buy extra Red Orbs instead of getting them ingame. Buying in-game currency with real money =/= loot boxes.
You’re assuming the worst with very little information available. Capcom has said that the game will provide “ample” Red Orbs for people who don’t want to buy anything, though what “ample” means is obviously variable. I have faith that Itsuno wouldn’t allow the game balance to be broken in order to push people towards…
I think his hair changed too. It seemed longer in the E3 trailer.
They already implemented this exact system in DMC4SE, and no one cared because the game balance wasn’t jacked up to push people towards the microtransactions unnecessarily. As long as DMC5 follows suit, I don’t see any reason to worry.
The NES and SNES Mini both let you use Wii Classic Controllers. The pack-in controllers are even compatible with the Wii and Wii U if you plug them into a Wii remote. So there’s precedent for this kind of feature.
Considering the controllers just use standard USB ports, it’s theoretically possible that you could plug in a DualShock 4/3 and use the rumble and analog sticks that way. Heck, maybe that’s why they went with the non-analog controllers; why spend more money on the pack-in controllers when most of your target audience…
Plus, without the massive performance issues that Android causes, it could probably run even better on the Switch even with the lower clock speeds.
I’m getting more of a Cole Sprouse vibe.

Since Kotaku isn’t covering the new trailer(s) for some reason:
The Wii U was dark and blurry. But the Wii is still really dark.
The NES one had a really dark color palette. Most of the other emulators were fine, though.
The PS1 came out 2 years before the N64. Why is the N64 retro but the PS1 isn’t?
SotN is still a classic that is held in high regard to this day. Sales numbers aren’t the only deciding factor in including a game in something like this. The video showed off Wild Arms and Jumping Flash, two games that didn’t even crack the top 100 selling games on the system. Assuming Konami is onboard for this…
We already know the most important Yakuza character will make an appearance...

Western release was confirmed alongside the Japanese version. The two trailers have been released with subtitles on YouTube.
