A special edition of Devil May Cry 3 to be shown at TGS?

Dante from Devil May Cry 3

The Japanese web site for Enterbrain (publisher of respected Japanese game-mag Famitsu) reportedly contains an "announcement" that Capcom will be revealing a new Devil May Cry game at the Tokyo Game Show later this week.

The news comes from an update to a contents page for the next Famitsu Wave DVD, which will contain many new trailers from the upcoming show. Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition will apparently have such a trailer ready for TGS, even if the game itself won't be made available in playable form (which remains unconfirmed). The biggest question here is which platform the souped-up version of Dante's Awakening will eventually come out for. Like the international editions of previous games like Final Fantasy X, DMC3:SE could very well end up on the PS2 once more, but it would be a great coup to see the Sony-exclusive series finally make its debut on the Xbox, GameCube, or even the Xbox 360, as DMC4 has already been announced for the PS3. (Gotta love thattrailer.) [UPDATE: DMC3:SE will be coming to PS2s (drat!) with the addition of Vergil as a fully playable character, a new "very hard" difficult mode, and a "demo digest" option to watch all those pretty cutscenes (without having to kill yourself replaying the game). Thanks, Alex C!]
