Capcom has announced that Devil May Cry Triple Pack is coming to Switch on February 20th next year in Japan. The compliation of games will be available for 4,990 yen. However, only Devil May Cry 1 is available on the cartridge according to Gematsu. It’s not surprising that Capcom went this route as they’ve done the same for various Mega Man collections on Switch.

PlayStation and Square Enix published a ton of new details and screenshots for Final Fantasy VII Remake! Moogles, summon abilities and Materia were further explained for the remake along with screenshots. Here are the details from the blog post:
Weapon abilities:
Each weapon has its own unique weapon abilities that increase in proficiency the more they are used. When an ability’s proficiency level reaches the maximum, that ability is then learned by the wielder and can be used when wielding any weapon.
Here we see Cloud’s Buster Sword upgrade screen. The different options allow you to improve the wielder’s status or increase the number of Materia slots available.
Switching to Classic mode:
Classic Mode can be activated by selecting “CLASSIC” from the difficulty menu. In Classic Mode, party members will act automatically, with the ATB gauge filling up as they do so. In this mode, the player only needs to select which abilities, magic, and items they will use their ATB charges for. This brings the feel of the gameplay closer to the menu-based battles from the original FFVII but with the amazing immersive graphics of the remake.
It is also possible to revert to direct control at any time during Classic Mode by pushing buttons on the controller.
Assess Materia
Assess – Materia that allows you to use the Assess ability. When you use Assess on an enemy, you can see their resistances and weaknesses, making it easier to defeat them in battle.
Square Enix also released general screenshots of the game ranging from the Darts activity to combat and cutscenes. Here’s a screenshot gallery:

I thought we would never see this series again but I guess the third time’s the charm? For those unaware, Tony Hawk Ride and Shred was intended to be a fresh start for the series back in 2009 and 2010. It required a $120 Skateboard peripheral which barely worked. So it’s no wonder both games flopped and the series went on hiatus for 5 years outside of an HD remake of the original Pro Skater. Activision then tried to revive the series again with Pro Skater 5 which was rushed to market before the license ran out.
Now it seems like Tony Hawk wants to attempt to revive the series for a third time. GamesRadar has seemingly confirmed that a new Pro Skater is on the horizon based on a resurfaced interview from last month. In this interview, Lizzie Armanto was asked about his appearance in Pro Skater 5 before stating “he’s coming out with another one, and I’ll be in that too.” Rumors have been swirling around the past few days and even Sabi (Verified Industry Journalist and Rumor Mill Insider) said that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 had demos/prototypes remade.
Explanation of what I shared in my server:
An Activision contact told me a week or so ago about how Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 had demos/prototypes remade. They went around internally. I didn't share before as I wasnt sure if they were being remade as full games, or just a test— Sabi (@New_WabiSabi) November 24, 2019
I honestly don’t know why they’re even bothering with this again. Pro Skater already has two failed comebacks under its belt. If anything I wouldn’t mind a remake of Pro Skater 1 and 2 if its done right. However, something like THUG PRO already fills in that gap because of the community support. Not to mention if a new deal is signed with Activision, they would have control of the monetization. I guess we can expect an official announcement within the coming months.
