Where To Buy Bayonetta 3 On Switch

I love that the Amazon product link is the exact same one I pre-ordered this from in 2018. They don't seem to have updated the release date, though

So basically, base.com

Never pre-ordering with GAME again, they have taken my pre-orders three times and every time when release date comes around it comes up with:
Your order is being packed.
Then a day later :
Your order was cancelled.
As they have insufficient stock.

Its a pre-order, you should not be selling stock you don't have

Please let the Bayonetta fans have a better special edition pre-order experience than the Xenoblade fans did!

This has been pre-ordered since December of 2017 lol. And it was like $48.99 on Amazon back then!

The game has only been available to preorder online for several years now, but always nice to see it actually have preorders instead of generic ones.

Never understood pre-ordering, especially before reviews land.

Still need to play the first two. I wish they would drop in price a little.

Looking forward to Pre ordering the Artbook version. Also that price for Bayo 2 on Wii U? Just like to say CEX has it for £6 here in the U.K, so if you were fortunate enough to own a Wii U still in the U.K, it's cheap as chips.
I may get the Switch version of 1 and 2 when they all go physical, just for collection sake.

Give it another day or 2 and no doubt other sites will have pre-orders available. Base.com has had Bayo 3 available for pre-order since it was ANNOUNCED lol.

Trinity Masquerade Edition is up on the Nintendo UK Store for pre-order.

@Hewitt pre ordered, thanks for the fast link fella. Happy gaming

Anytime @FargusPelagius

@RupeeClock that's the reason I noticed it. I've sat pressing F5 on that page for months awaiting the Xenoblade Collector's Edition to appear.

@Hewitt @RupeeClock Probably not long now considering xenoblades release date... But there's been known issues with the special edition for ages, annoyingly. You may be aware. Production line issues for some items is why they are splitting it up and sending the game out first, then the rest of the special edition xenoblade pack out later as a separate shipment. Poor UK. As a collector, it's all a pain tbh.

Edit: and this is all before the potential chaos of trying to nab one!

Great probably won't be able get it like Xenoblade cause freaking bots. I have both Xenoblade collectors edition and can't get new one. Really sucks

Wish they did this with Xenoblade 3 as well. But whole Nintendo Europe is under maintanace, maybe that is the reason they are still waiting? No idea anymore tbh. Just sick of waiting and its a bit more than 2 weeks until release.

Looks like NA is screwed over again....just like XenoBlade 3 SE. How would anyone in NA get a EU because I know they won't ship to NA address even if you try to.

Uh oh, I'm having flashbacks to Xenoblade 3 preorders. Hopefully this goes smoother than that!

I'll post any listings I see online. Hopefully it will be up on some non-N retailers.

First preorders? I’ve had mine preordered since 2018 back when Amazon offered 20% discounts for game preorders. Still have my preorder locked in at $48 USD.

@NintendoByNature

That’s when Amazon used to offer 20% discounts for video game preorders.

FFS already out of stock on NUK store. I had one in my basket and 10min later, time to get some mobile internet back "out of stock"

I'm mad.

That special edition is already sold out on the UK My Nintendo Store. Shame.

Sold out now Bayo 2 is selling out on stores also

@ViewtifulGerry ah...the good ol days

The UK SE for 2 was incredible

@Jaguar_Wong I agree 100% that preordering is a foolish thing to do in the age of half finished full releases, but I mean you know what you're getting with Bayonetta. 2 ran like a dream and I have full faith this will be just as smooth.

How can Game justify charging £10 more than RRP? They're a shambles.

Thank you Nintendo for rolling the dice on this series. Can’t imagine a world where it died with the first game.

@ViewtifulGerry Your not the only one others preorder 3 standard long long time ago in a far off galaxy...and wham....now we get the Xeno crunch again....this time with limited items that sells out and is gone.

THANKS ALOT NINTENDO.

I really don't understand that special edition. why does it come with three covers, but only one game? that's totally bizarre

Looks like this is gonna be the first Platinum hack n slash I play in a long time. I haven't really dived back into the genre since the PS2 and only got a little taste of the Metal Gear spinoff on Xbox 360 as a free game on a Gold sub. I was thinking of getting Nier first but the Switch release is so close to this one and with Bayo 3 obviously the fresher experience in this genre. Planning on getting Astral Chain for quite a while now as well. I heard they are all short games so maybe I can play a couple of them this year.

@Octane_st1m
For what it's worth Astral Chain and Nier are my favourite games by Platinum.
Highly recommended

I still have 1 and 2 on disc for my dusty WiiU, I think I'll revive it for those... I'm so excited for nr. 3! It's also releasing the day after my birthday so it might be a nice gift!

@SwitchForce Most physical versions of Switch games I get are imported from Asia and Europe and I live in Texas. What's the problem?

Collector's edition seems already sold out in most places.

Ninja dropping the collector's edition pre-order, not cool at all Nintendo. Didn't even get a chance.

So anybody wondering about the Trinity Masquerade Edition in the US? GameStop in the US was officially doing preorders for it in-store only. There was no online SKU at least yesterday when preorders first went up. I got my Trinity Masquerade Edition just yesterday at my local GameStop. As for the answer to the question, "How the Hell did GameStop get their hands on the Trinity Masquerade Edition and why did they only do preorders for it in-store only?" I can't say for certain but I think the reason for in-store preorders at only at first was to keep scalpers off of the sales. Out!

Pssst, everyone, ShopTo.net are doing pre-orders for the Trinity Edition ☺️

I've had a Bayo 3 pre-order on Amazon since the week the game was announced all those years ago.

lol

Got one for Prime 4 too.

@Jey887 If anything the price will skyrocket once the 3rd game drops. I suggest getting them asap if you really want them physically

Edit: The original Bayonetta is actually getting its own, limited, physical release later this year. You might want to pick that up as well.

Hey U.S. folks, Bayo 3 special edition is live online at Best Buy right now!

I was able to place an order at Best Buy and already got an email confirmation!

I have Bayo 1/2 digitally on Switch, and I saw that they're finally doing a physical release of 1 soon, but I really, really wish they'd done a physical Trilogy collection with all three titles. Maybe one day.

@Jaguar_Wong I couldn't care less about reviews. I don't need some random person to tell me what I like.

@SteamEngenius "Preordering is foolish, except when it's not!"
You sound so stupid.

@sethharris1191
A good review is about information, framed by human experience.

I've read many 9/10 reviews that provided me with information that let me know I wouldn't like a game - and many 4/10 reviews that did the opposite.

I can't stop laughing about how the NA link for Trinity Edition takes to you David Attenborough Party Mask.

Good one, NL!

looks cool but seems like a game like botw or metroid dread that I hardly play but paid 60 bucks, idk kinda split

Is Bayonetta 1 only releasing physically in US?

Oh I thought we were boycotting it stop sending me mixed signals

It's finally coming!!
Waiting for this since the end of 2017!

@Bunkerneath Why would you order anything through GAME anyway, let alone pre-order? Not trying to provoke, just curious. There are always accessible, better options in the UK, and their previous f**k-ups are well publicised. They should have gone under well over a decade ago.

Where is the physical edition of Bayonetta 1? Complete silence from Nintendo since they said they were aiming for the first half of October. It’s now October 24 and not a peep from them!

Any news about the physical edition of Bayonetta 1? Still can't find it on their webstore...

Would love to have the collection complete, but Nintendo is being very difficult with this >.<

I've had this preordered since forever. Looking forward to Friday!

Well, I guess people can re-open their pre-orders. Amirite?

Still got my Trinity Masquerade edition locked in, been waiting for this a long time and vacation starts Thursday!

This is my biggest game this year.

@Axecon RIGHT!!! My purchase didn't even ship until almost midnight the night before release and didn't arrive until the following Tuesday.

And the page for physical edition of the first Bayonetta went online on their store yesterday and you already can't select the physical anymore...

What a disaster this is. Nintendo really needs to get its **** together >.>

@Jaguar_Wong @Jaguar_Wong "Never understood pre-ordering, especially before reviews land."

If you pre-order early enough, you can get a really great price. I pre-ordered this before the first game was announced and got it really cheap.

One of my retailers refused to cancel my preorder standard version so I removed my payment to block it. I don't see how hard it is to cancel a preorder that hasn't shipped or complete the order. But I removed my payment so they can't take the funds out since they refuse to allow the cancellation of the item.

I love this series (and have triple dipped the first and double dipped the second), but honestly £30 for an art book is a tad insane if you ask me

@hayface @NinjaSyao Physical of B1 were released at the same time as Bayonetta 2 on Wii U. I have it on my shelve.
Now i also have Bayonetta 3 on shelve.

It costed 25% less for physical in local store than on eShop.
Just bought it locally at El-Kjop for 45 bucks.

@Ventilator I’m talking about the physical Switch edition of Bayonetta 1, which has only recently become available in Europe and it sold out very quickly.

@hayface Ahh. So it exist on Switch too.
