Random Did PlatinumGames Just Tease Bayonetta For Switch?
Fly me to the moon
Depending on how optimistic a person you are, PlatinumGames may have just dropped a hint that Bayonetta is Switch-bound. The popular series - which began life on the PS3 and Xbox 360 before shifting to the Wii U thanks to Nintendo co-funding development - has been dormant since the second game, but has a massive base of fans...
News PlatinumGames Is Keen To Make Bayonetta 3, Possibly With A New Protagonist
"We’re talking within the company even now about what to do"
Bayonetta was a cult smash when it first released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, so much so that Nintendo felt compelled to dig deep and fund development of a sequel exclusively for the Wii U. Since then, fans of the series have been waiting keenly for news of a third outing, and it...
News That Bayonetta Countdown, Unsurprisingly, Was for a PC Port
Shoots up the Steam charts
When SEGA published the old '8-bit Bayonetta' game as a freebie on Steam for April Fools' Day, the safe assumption was that a related countdown was for a PC port of the original. Of course, the nature of countdowns meant that fantasies could be voiced, such as the prospect of Bayonetta 3. Well, those of us awaiting that...

Hands On Bewitching Bayonetta 2 Brings Action Gaming To A Climax On Wii U
We spend some time with Bayonetta 1 and 2
It’s hard to overestimate just how much buzz Bayonetta 2’s Wii U exclusivity garnered back when it was announced in 2012; the first game in the series - from Platinum Games and Hideki Kamiya - was critically acclaimed and a big hit with fans, though since it only ever appeared on the Xbox 360 and PS3,...
Kiss kiss, bang bang
Really, Bayonetta 2 isn’t that far outside of Nintendo’s wheelhouse. The creators of Nintendogs and Wii Fit may like to play it family-friendly, but come on — there’s always been a playful, almost kinky side to Nintendo, games with just the right amount of dirtiness. Look at ol’ Jimmy T. making it happen in WarioWare,...
About The Game
Bayonetta Makes Her Return
In this climactic sequel to the critically acclaimed BAYONETTA action game, players will be on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Brimming with epic, gorgeous cut scenes and battles that are more exhilarating than ever, this game never lets up on the action. Fight on top of a jet as it soars through a downtown city. Duke it out against a giant angel, who bears a whip for an arm, on top of a speeding train. And take to the skies in a fight against a demonic monster while ascending to the top of a skyscraper.
Features:
- Armed with new weapons and abilities, Bayonetta has her enemies baffled by her new moves and torture attacks. In exchange for magic points, she can unleash a new ability called Umbra Climax to summon demonic monsters and deliver mighty attacks repeatedly.
- Choose between Normal and Touch play styles. The Normal Mode represents thetechnical control scheme unique to BAYONETTA, an acclaimed control scheme that fans of the previous game love and all action game fans will enjoy. The Touch Mode, on the other hand, offers a more convenient play style for those unfamiliar with action games or simply looking for a new spin on action. Players can use the Wii U GamePad controller's touch screen controls to easily manipulate Bayonetta as she moves, attacks and evades enemies.
- Bayonetta's longtime friend and fellow Umbra Witch, Jeanne, appears in the game (as a non-playable character) to assist Bayonetta in performing combination attacks and in doling out intense punishment against enemies.
- Take the action off the big screen and enjoy off-TV play using the Wii U GamePad controller.

Yay! Can't wait for it!
/drool sexy game is sexy
sexy
I find it funny that to own and play the whole Bayonetta series, you're required to own two consoles from 2 companies who are rivals against in each other.
@Electricmastro: Last I read, it was either we get Bayonetta 2 that way or we don't get it at all. It's less funny when you think about it that way, to be honest
Don't be mad at Nintendo or Platinum Games, be mad at Sega if you don't like that it will be a Wii U exclusive. Sega didn't value the game, and it would've never seen a part 2 if Nintendo didn't step in. All the haters can simply use your imaginations and act like part 2 doesn't exist if you don't wish to buy a Wii U to get Bayonetta 2. hahaaaa!
So ready for this game! I hope there will be a release date or more info at E3!
3DS-only owner here: I wouldn't be mad at a 3DS release for this game at all
I doubt I'll be allowed to play this, but it looks cool. I didn't expect all those flying monsters that Bayonetta has to fight. The gameplay looks fun, the graphics are good, the artwork and design is awesome, and the story is probably good too. Once again, I may not be allowed to play this. I hope you guys enjoy this though.
This Game Looks Absolutely Crazy Cool !!!!!! Shall Be a Blast!!!!!
The only game that made me keep my wii u for.
I am super UPSET WITH LOVEYDOVEYING Nintendo really? Why can't they make it for ps3? They LOST so many fans I LOVE Bayonetta I waited two years to get the first one I recently got it was really excited for number two and now can't play gotta go buy a piece of doggiedoodoopoopie wii U the wii u wasn't as good as Nintendo thought it actually is a waste of time I darn well hope they make this game available for all fans not just wii fans I like the wii I do but the wii U? Not so much it is pointless in my eyes Its completely utterly un fair I wanna just smash the wii u and throw the pieces of it at the Nintendo building HUGE MISTAKE they are losing fans fast and it hasn't even come out says a lot. I rest my case </3 Ps, No offense to all Wii and Wii U fans you enjoy what you enjoy it's you're choice
Profanity is against our rules -Lz
@galaxygarrison
Its to amazing to forget Bayonetta it should be available to all fans yeah maybe Wii U fans are happy but not all are.
@BayonettaLuver

The choice was between Bayonetta for only the Wii U or no Bayonetta at all. While obviously I'm biased since I have a U, I would think the former is still better no matter what.
First off, Nintendo is king! Bayonetta I think would make a great Wii U exclusive, plus part1 comes with part2! ( only in disk form, not downloadable version ) I love my Wii U more than my Xbox One, maybe if Xbox had more games like bayonetta I would be playing it more, but they don't, Wii U does! I hope Wii U keeps up its awesome EXCLUSIVES, NOT TIMED EXCLUSIVES ( my opinion the stupidest thing ever for gaming) and continue there awesomeness! GO BIG N!
I wonder how much more in Europe will the "special edition" cost. Always NoE tries to cheat...
"Bayonetta 2 (Special Edition with Bayonetta)" only in Europe.
Does anyone know if all UK versions come with the original Bayonetta or do I have to get a "special edition" to get both together?
Well, that description does perfectly describe the demo.
i dont understand the hype for this
@odd69 Play the game, you will than see what the hype is about. I've been playing since 85', this is one of the best games I've ever played. You won't understand the hype playing on the internet.
@BayonettaLuver Umm, be quiet.
If I purchase #2, how much will #1 be??? Just curious, cause I know the two pack discs are about $60. Do they discount it down to equal out to that for both on the eshop if I buy both?
