One of the more novel parts of Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne is how it created the “Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series” meme due to the PS2 box art including a sticker promoting the crossover. The HD Remaster of the game includes that same cameo as DLC. To help celebrate that history and legacy, Sega of America Communications Manager Arianne Advincula took to the PlayStation Blog to share an HD .png file of that sticker for people to use as they see fit.
To help show how it might look in action, Sega also offered an example of the PS4 SMT III Nocturne HD Remaster box art with the HD version of the “sticker” applied.
And here’s the actual Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series HD sticker as a .png file.
If someone were to use a site like Pixlr, they could add the .png to other images by choosing “add image” and “browse.” For example, here’s how the sticker looks on the Nintendo Switch version’s box art.
The announcement also included an explanation from Director Kazuyuki Yamai about how the Dante crossover happened. Yamai noted:
The dev team initially thought it was a crazy idea to pursue a crossover across two different publishers. However, they were also captivated by the idea of the two characters’ encountering one another and their ensuing battle. So they brought the proposal to Capcom, and the rest is history!
Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC worldwide on May 25, 2021. It is immediately available in Japan.
