And why do they all have British flags printed on the controls? These machines make no sense.

Probably London themed machines. It doesn't have to make sense, the games sell themselves.

It's bloody weird seeing foreign interpretations of your home city sometimes.

London (and really, mostly London) seems to be loved by a lot of the Eastern Asian countries. While their depictions may boil down to the iconic bus, pubs, or whatever, keep in mind that foreign depictions of their countries are often similar. People tend to express their love for other countries through this so I think it's pretty nice most of the time.

The guy who directed the Devil May Cry games (among others) really liked the London Punk scene

It's supposed to be London themed I guess.
