@RCagent:
Lol that was great. :P

@ShiNZ: Lucky Star Sake makes sense..kinda..since one (or more) of the characters drinks the stuff by the gallon.
These would only make sense if they got like, Hades' Darts or something. Which given that this is DMC, isn't that far off actually.

Lyrai

@hotfiredude123:
That is not a comment.

Brian Ashcraft

@cornunderscore2x:
Nope, that has to go to the Lucky Star sake.

ShiNZ

wtf. Strangest merchandising idea ever.

@Eltigro:
This is Devil May Cry. The obvious answer is "It does all three"

Lyrai

@hotfiredude123:
Yeah, this is blogsite material. Wait.

RCagent

This is not news.

hotfiredude123

Are they poisonous? Do they explode on impact? Do they kill vampires?

These have to be tested.

Eltigro

"First I whip it out~
Then I thrust it~With great force
Every angle...!
It penetrates!
Until~
With great strength...!
I...ram it in!

In the end...we're all satisfied.
And you are set free...!'

Do it now and videotape it!

@Lyrai:
O, lol didn't know that, only watched the anime..

Maybe these darts are ammunition for Nero's Gun?
(Nero's Gun Sold Separately.)

ShiNZ

@Black-Dog-Howls: wait, wut?
@hotfiredude123: i hear the banhammer is swung at any weary foe these days....

Unless each and every dart goes out of its way to be an annoying try-hard twat, I don't see it being a proper Dante dart.

Also, where are the darts with giant breasts to represent the other characters in the DMC universe?

mcderek3000

Does Dante even use darts? Or play darts? Or have any connection to darts whatsoever?

I would guess they're probably unlicensed rip offs. You can buy fake Alastor and Rebellion swords that look nothing like they're supposed to too.

GrlGmr

Wait... what!? I've only played DMC3, and only some of it, but I don't remember darts ever being a weapon.

What next, StarCraft branded cricket bats?

ShaggE

@Naif:
oh, and
tl;dr

...forgot to add that in there
;)

Naif

The simple question I have on these darts is. Are these official from Capcom I don't see the Logo and if they are then the price seems about right. Darts of good quality are not cheap the same can be said about pool sticks.

JorgieX

..and btw, 2500 yenjamins is DIRT cheap for darts.

As a gamer AND dart-thrower-guy I immediately want these. :O

@Brian Ashcraft:
The fact that even when slightly challenged, you permanently ban a user without even looking at any comments they've previously made is pretty ignorant. The purpose of banning the commenter would surely be to avoid further dissention amongst the Kotaku ranks, yet the comment in question seems to be neither inflammatory nor overtly aggressive.

I myself have a history of pollution-like commenting in the crystal clear river that is the Kotaku comment board, yet to this day I stand triumphantly upon the podium of banless glory. Why not just ban me right here, right now? For i have sinned Brian Christ, which need be forgiven by you in your self satisfied state of self righteousness.

I'm also guessing all 1242 commenters of the RES5, N'Gai debate were without hesitation smited BY THY MIGHTY BANHAMMER as their respective comments happened to be literal vapours in the half-ghost world of non-comments.

'That is not a comment'?
THIS IS A COMMENT.

OllieCostello

oh and i coulda sworn there was a DMC digital darts game from capcom , wasn't there ?

黒天使

well technically those Roses or what ever Vergil / Dante throw can be considered darts hehe so it's kinda connected lol

黒天使

I've never actually heard anyone IRL talk about Devil May Cry. Is it actually popular?

kidnicky

I wonder if they're capable of killing supernatural beings.

KM91

@OllieCostello: I think you just need one stupid comment to get yourself banned. Why so angry?

Here read this, soak it all in and get back to me [kotaku.com] [A Call To Ban Article]

Schoolimangooli

It would be interesting to see a professional darts player use these.

foxwarrior88

I would kill (well, perhaps only maim) to see Ted Hankey or Phil "The Power" Taylor using these.

phicaluk

@OllieCostello:

What were you going for? Witty? Clever? Funny? The only thing that "post" managed to achieve is make me a little more sleepy.

Schoolimangooli is right. Who cares how many decent posts you wrote before it.

Any justice system is not perfect. For all the people who commit crimes, I'm sure a very small number are caught. But best to catch them before they do it again, if possible.

@GrlGmr: Lucifer from DMC4 is basically the same as Dante throwing giant darts, which is what Black-Dog-Howls' comment is referring to.

yanthrax

@GrlGmr:

Nah, they're licensed. The place I snapped this pic at had a Devil May Cry themed dart board as well. There's also a DMC3 slot machine in Japan.

They add video game (and other) themes to a lot of random things here to draw people in. Slots, pachinko, darts, etc.

landonkun

@Kuro:

I left a message for you on your page :)

@OllieCostello: You wanna know the secret to successfully "challenging" or at least asking something of Kotaku's editors? Don't be a dick about it. I've questioned the things they've done or the reasons why a number of times, and though I was occasionally quite silly about it, I don't think I've ever been outright rude. And if you'll notice, I still have my account. I've received responses to my concerns as well. Imagine that!

Sure, there have been some bans over minor stuff. No system's perfect, right? My roommate was banned over an infraction I feel was kind of minor, but if one really cared, they could appeal the ban, I assume?

Bottom line: Suck it up. You're not fighting the power of some kind of evil dictatorship. It's a blog, they run it like they see fit, and no one has chained you to it. You're not forced to be here. That, uh, that I know of anyway. But I don't think anyone wants someone like the person who wrote your last post around, Ollie. That's just irritating.

Grave

I'd probably cry too if someone started chucking darts at me. Especially if they're $25 darts...

I came in here to ask if the darts levitate.
