Capcom.co.jp lists Devil May Cry for PSP [Update]
Rumors that Devil May Cry would be theatrically shooting its way onto the PSP are about as old as the PSP itself. As far back as June 2005, Capcom discussed bringing Devil May Cry to the PSP along with nine other PSP titles; at that time, GameSpot wrote, "Devil May Cry [for the PSP] could see the light of day before 2006." By the time 2006 rolled around, still no sign of Devil May Cry for PSP, save for a mention on Capcom's Japanese website.
So here we are, two years on, and again we're seeing a mention of Devil May Cry for PSP on Capcom's Japanese site. Included at the top of a list of recently released and not-yet-released PSP games, "Devil May Cry" is alone in its absence of a release date, a price, or a linked website. Hit the Source link to see if it's still there or, just in case they've noticed that Dante crawled out of his cage and taken it down, we've got a screengrab after the break. Just a reminder: Capcom's E3 press conference is at 10:30ET on July 15th. Just saying ...

They are likely releasing Devil May Cry on the PSN in Japan as a PS1 classic for PSP/PS3. As such, it will never come over here. I hope I'm wrong.. but I'm likely correct on this one.

Of course you are wrong. Devil may Cry 1 was on the PS2!

@Hank
You don't think PS2 games will be downloadable at some point?

The katakana after the title in the "title" column translations as "shiirizu" which is a Japanese word for "Series".
Series? Could this be a bundle of the first couple of games perhaps?
Just wondering ...
Fernando Rocker @ Jul 4th 2008 9:20AM
Series?
It might be the animated series.
Josh @ Jul 4th 2008 3:29PM
No, the Japanese always stick "Series" at the ends of things.

The entry has been there for years. It's just never been deleted.
Noshino @ Jul 4th 2008 10:26AM
sigh, yah, it has been there for quite a while...
It was one of the main reasons as to why I bought my PSP at launch...DMC and they also promised a special Viewtiful Joe for PSP...
If they aren't going to make one, they might as well stop teasing us :(

Noshino @ Jul 4th 2008 1:10PM

Mr.ESC @ Jul 4th 2008 12:32PM
Even if its the animated series or a port I'm checking it out.I'm a (Run) DMC fan.
PojoMofo @ Jul 4th 2008 1:38PM
idk, I think its kinda trickey, It's tricky...tr-tr-tr-tricky trrrrrrrrrrricky to get a good DMC game to the PSP, but GOW should prove that its can be profitable

I think I could 'Walk this way' to a psp game section and give a good word about this game. DMC gave the PSP 'a kiss'
