I have Omnimusha 3 for PC its in japanese and looks fairly crap, but hopefully they change that for the English release with the other games.

eyerer

not to rain on the parade, but:
RE4 - prefer to get that on the cube
DMC3 - read a review on the PS2 version, if the PC version is the same i think it could be too bastard hard
Omni - saw screens of the jap PC version, looks subpar. Although the review said it was a button masher, i would still maybe give this a try.
Can't see them changing the graphics for the english release though (assuming the jap version was released somewhat recently)

Basically i'll wait until there are reviews of the pc versions

Still could be good for the future- if capcom keep porting stuff to the pc maybe some good games will get done, in a timely fashion, in the future

I assume DMC3 will be the updated version with the easy mode for us patience lacking gamers.

DMC3 wasn't all that hard... it just required practice.

Has anyone heard anything about the new "Devil Kings" game from Capcom?
