In a developer interview released today, Platinum Games' Atsushi Inaba has spoken about Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U, and how the console's unique controller has enabled the studio to reach new levels of gameplay:
I know you're thinking, how can you possibly play an action game with a stylus? Trust me, you'll be surprised. I think gameplay with the Wii U GamePad has helped us take Bayonetta — and even action games in general — to a new territory. One that I'm excited about.
Inaba also offered some details on the game's core mechanics, as well as Umbran Climax - Bayonetta's new skill which allows her to unleash pent-up magical power in a super attack, thereby offering a "release" from the "pressure of the game".

Great! I look forward to there being new gameplay on this lovely Wii U exclusive! Saw the trailer and the game looks awesome! Hyped up most for this game after Super Smash Bros.
By the way, First!
Love the gameplay footage. Like I have said, Bayonetta is one of my favorite games ever, so I am super stoked for this one.
I wish we had a release date, though.
Stylus controls...?! They're optional right?
im not sure about this... But in kamiya we trust
i think what we saw in the video, maybe to summon creaturs, specials etc.
Kamiya probably played a bunch of Kid Icarus and took it as a challenge to outdo Sakurai.
Because it has age appropriate content, unless you have an account and are signed into youtube and are 18 or over, you ain't gonna see it.
Like me. 34, but can't be bothered to get a youtube account to see an advert. Will just buy the game blindly instead.

Here it is.
God, what is wrong with Nintendolife? There's been so much lag...
That commentary in the video sounds like something i would say at 19.
Please Give Platinum Games the chance to make Star Fox or Kid Icarus !!!!!!!!! I think they would do Awesome with either of those great Classic Nintendo Games. I want A New Kid Icarus on Wii U : )
This game looks Amazing ... WoW
This game is what I'm most looking forward to for the next year.
PlatinumGames have ultimately pushed the megaton envelope. Bayonetta 2 (new looks and all) is gonna be one of the best Wii U titles of 2014!
Looks f'n epic. Nuff said.
I want this game, badly.
@Kroisos The first Bayonetta outdid Kid Icarus in every way and the game even came out earlier too.
@mamp I don't think we can compare then...I don't think we SHOULD compare them.
i rly hate how she looks now for some reason =| i liked how she looked when they first showed that behind the scenes trailer and what not with her long hair
but besides that the game looks interesting that guy in the white with the sword looked like a character from Naruto though
Does the hairs cut was done due to a lack of power in wii u cpu? The first bayoneta title had a lot of hairs to calculate in the scene that means a lot of rag-doll style calculations.
In the demo shown at e3 i've noticed that hairs does not move at all..
Looks awesome. And she's cute with short hair too!
This title makes all Wii U haters shut up basically. It's a "hardcore" exclusive.
this was the best/most exciting game shown yesterday
"I know you're thinking, how can you possibly play an action game with a stylus?" um.. Metroid Prime Hunter's? Zelda Phantom Hourglass? lol id never think that lol althow i hate the was in zelda you use it to walk.... -_- Eniway Bayonetta2 looks amasing as dose Monolithsoft's "X" cant wate for them
@Haywired
i wouldn't believe anyone who claimed differently. they're for off-tv play obviously.
Think Bayonetta looked better with long hair, not that her new look is bad. Game looks great so far.
