Topic: Bayonetta (3) Teaser = Bayonetta PC Port

SEGA is doing a fancy countdown for what many believe to be Bayonetta related:

http://www.sega.com/14111219

Apparently, people got to this link by beating the 8-bit Bayonetta game on Steam, originally part of SEGA's April Fools' joke.

The interesting part is that the link was revealed through a Steam game, and SEGA is announcing it. So, if it's Bayonetta 3, it's definitely not a Switch exclusive. On the other hand, it could also be simply a port of the first game for PC. That would be.. disappointing? Scorpio will be revealed next week too, so it's going to be an interesting week regardless.

I'm joking that it's 8-Bit Bayonetta for Switch. (or maybe it's 8-Bit Bayonetta 2) But yeah, it's most likely a third game, hopefully the final boss is better than the second game.

We're releasing a port of a game already available on 3 platforms.

Assemble the countdown timer!

@Dezzy It's SEGA though. But you're right, hyping up a PC port of an 8-year old game doesn't sound right. Here's hope that it's more than that, and the only other thing I can think of is the announcement of Bayonetta 3.

I hope they will make the 3 with 1 & 2 on Switch since i could not grab them on Wii U

@Tsurii i closed my Wii U in its box when my Switch arrived unfortunately. And most of all portable Bayonetta is quite "attracting"

What if it ends up being the amiibo announcement instead? xD

@Joeynator3000 Why would SEGA announce that though? Seems more like a Nintendo thing to me. Especially a thing Nintendo wants to save for a Direct. Let alone the fact that the countdown was a reward for completing the Steam game.

So I give it a 0.0001% chance that it's the amiibo reveal

Shush, just let me use my jinxing powers. lol

@Joeynator3000 @Octane about that i expect something at E3 with a potential reveal of the Smash port

This wouldn't be the first time a video game company did something like this.

Turns out, the Bayonetta teaser that will be revealed in an hour from now will be a Bayonetta port for PC. A countdown for a PC port... SEGA never manages to disappoint.

Anyway, Engadget let their article slip a little too soon, but it's archived, so you can still view it: https://web.archive.org/web/20170411133258/https://www.engadg...

....Wow, my jinxing powers are way off lately.

Really disappointing...

@Tsurii

Well obviously I was just speaking literally rather than sarcastically

I would think after the iOS port of The World Ends With You that everyone realized that doing a countdown for a beloved game series only for it to lead to a port was a bad idea.

I mean, that's the first thing I remembered when this countdown started. Hence why I'm not surprised.

(Also, the fact that the 8-Bit Bayonetta game on Steam is what led to the countdown link made it seem too obvious that it was a PC port IMO.)

As a fan of the game I'm not surprised or dissapointed. I'm actually half tempted to get it on PC now just so I can play it without having to drag out my Wii U. Hopefully we do get Bayonetta 3 eventually though, a Switch release would also be nice
