Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.
- The game has several moments that will make you laugh, but for the reasons you don't normally expect.
- The Ebony & Ivory handguns are very strong in this game, not only because of their damage output and high stunlock capability per se, but also because they lift lesser demons from the ground and make them float in mid-air even if Dante is just standing still.
- The scenery-chewing wizardry of Arius once he loses his marbles and then loses the fight. Mission 17 of Dante's disc will make you wonder how he could've ever been considered a legitimate threat.
- Dante's Pre-Asskicking One-Liner after fighting Arius is both a funny and awesome moment:Dante: King? ...Yeah, (brandishes handguns) here's your crown. (blasts Arius out the building)
- In his first boss fight, Arius can teleport around his office and sit on a table. Striking him enough while he's sitting knocks him so hard he briefly falls back-first on the floor. During his second boss fight, Arius will repeat this tactic but he sits on the edges of the pillars instead.
- The late-game revelation that Dante's lucky coin is a Two-Headed Coin all along, which is also heartwarming because he actually intended to help Matier and Lucia from the start until the end instead of relying his decisions on some "heads or tails" luck. Lucia's reaction when she flips the other side of the coin sells it.Lucia: He tricked me. That macho.
- The Achievements and Trophies in the HD Collection are mostly named from quote excerpts, references, or hilarious puns that refer to their specific objective in a way. Sometimes, the puns require you to think for a while in order to understand their wordplay. For example, defeating Jokatgulm earns you the "No Joke" achievement; Jokatgulm —> "No Joke".
- When advertising the game's re-release on the Nintendo Switch, the marketing team decided to target the only aspect of the game that is adored, let alone liked; Dante's coat.
