Many of us were hoping for a port of the first Bayonetta, but getting it for free is awesome. What value!

The game looks amazing. I only played the PS3 version of the original. Yikes. I'm glad I now get a second chance with a port presumably handled by Platinum Games themselves.

such good news. I hope this game does well.

What's the over/under on Bayonetta being announced as a New Challenger in Smash Bros. about a month before Bayo 2 releases?

Soren · « **Reply #2 on:** June 10, 2014, 04:16:07 PM »

Fine print on the press release mentions that Bayonetta 1 is only available on retail versions of the game. Not on digital.

I'm surprised they didn't announce her during the Nintendo Direct right after Bayonetta 2 segment.

No matter if Bayo 2 is gonna be good or not (and it WILL BE), you will already get the one of most amazing game of last 10 year with Bayo 1.
Retail/digital shenanigans are troubling. I originally planned to download it the minute it appears on eShop, but now i might have to resort to amazon or play-asia...
Though if they will do discount on digital version, i guess i will take just Bayo 2.
I already sunk over 200 hours in Bayo 1 on Xbox so might i not want to play it once again...

I've been on the fence on this one. I didn't like what I played of the demo for Bayonetta 1. There was just too much "dial a combo" in the combat for my tastes. Still, I always meant to go back and give the game a fresh look, especially after liking the most recent Devil May Cry game. Well, playing the version that comes with Bayonetta 2 on Wii U seems as good as place as any, considering my alternative is the digital PS3 version of the 1st game.

I think I remember seeing the "no Bayo1 on digital" was just an NA problem? The European press release didn't mention it?

No idea.
According to european site it's a "special edition" that includes Bayo 1.

I was gonna buy this at retail anyway. Getting Bayo 1 is awesome. I was a little on the fence before, but now I'm 100% sold.

Anyone gonna mention the Nintendo costumes?

Soren · « **Reply #10 on:** June 11, 2014, 09:56:09 AM »

Bayo as Metroid will spur a million gifs. And Link costumes are the perfect "What if Zelda was a girl" troll bait.

I want this game now. Really badly. It's a good thing we're getting 2 games because the summer and fall release schedule is barren.

nickmitch · « **Reply #11 on:** June 11, 2014, 10:00:09 AM »

And Peach with DAT ASS

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #12 on:** June 11, 2014, 09:59:47 PM »

If the first one isn't included as part of the digital version that will substantially decrease the chances I'll buy this game.

lolmonade · « **Reply #13 on:** June 11, 2014, 10:04:03 PM »

I've had a mild interest in this game ever since I gnawed through Metal Gear Rising. I was gonna pick up a cheap copy of Bayonetta on Xbox or PS3, but if I can find a good deal on a physical copy of the Wii U game, I might snag this.

Adrock · « **Reply #14 on:** June 30, 2014, 10:19:44 AM »

Daisy costume. Like I needed another reason to buy this.

azeke · « **Reply #15 on:** July 17, 2014, 01:48:55 AM »

Apparently, in online co-op mode you can bet your in-game points.

azeke · « **Reply #16 on:** July 27, 2014, 03:44:00 AM »

Yesterday's Nintendo's stream with Bayo 2 was very good:

http://twitch.tv/nintendo/b/551469544 (starting from 2:44) -- for better framerate and quality

I can't wait for this game.

I'm having a very hard time believing this. You didn't even like the original.

Oblivion · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2014, 11:19:50 AM »

Yeah, I'm with Adrock. You haven't enjoyed a Platinum game before this, why now?

Stratos · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2014, 02:03:56 PM »

I am wondering if there will be any pre-order bonuses with the game. Because of the dual-pack deal and the possibility they may release later editions without the first game I may get this early on.

Maybe a copy of the anime? On DVD because giving it away for free on Blu Ray is perhaps too generous as a pre-order bonus. I think Konami did this with Silent Hill: Homecoming; a DVD of the Silent Hill movie (which isn't bad) was the pre-order bonus though the movie was like three years old at that point. The anime is set for release on October 21 which is right around the time Bayonetta 2 should be released.

Get creative and make it yourself.
Or find the PS3/Xbox version and have it right next to Bayo 2.
