Once the exclusive domain of the DVD market, the practice of "double dipping," or rereleasing a product with extra content thrown in, is popping up more frequently in the world of games (such as Ninja Gaiden Black and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance). The latest instance comes from Capcom, which today announced North American release details for Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition.

The rerelease also features a new boss character, a turbo option to speed the game up by 20 percent, a new continue system, adjusted difficulty levels (with a new "very hard" mode), and survival and movie modes.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition is rated M for Mature and will retail for $19.95 when it is released January 24 in North America. For more information, check out GameSpot's full review of the original Devil May Cry 3.
