Bayonetta 2 Out Later this YearTrailer shown in today's Nintendo Direct
Bayonetta 2 will be out this summer in Japan and later in 2014 in North America and Europe.
A new trailer was shown at the end of today's Nintendo Direct highlighted in-game action sequences. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata noted that she will hold guns on both her hands as well as her legs. He also detailed Witch Time mode, as well as the Umbram Climax mode, which unleashes a flurry of energy when initiated.

Can one of you Bayonetta afficionados elaborate on what makes the original great, and if the T&A aspect is overblown in these trailers?Bayo was considered to be the pinnacle of character action game genre.
If the gameplay is as engaging as Metal Gear Rising, then I'm interested, but the appearance that they're pushing the T&A part of the game is kind of offputting to me.

Why? Because it's best.
In which aspects was it best?
In all of them.
I didn't play MGR myself but it's considered to be a lesser game compared to Kamiya's games, too short and undercooked.
The good parts of Bayo are exhilarating sense of power, full control of the battlefield, extremely satisfying gameplay, beyond mindblowing setpieces, action that makes P. Jackson and Spielberg jealous, great orchestral blood pounding music, content stretched over 100 hours of gameplay, introducing new mechanics that keep enriching basic gameplay and turning it on it's head every dozen hours and so and on.
As to visual style... As someone once said "i'm done explaining myself". You need to take it in full or pass through knowingly robbing yourself of experiencing videogame masterpiece. Can't handle the difficultuy/sexiness/visuals? I am very, very sorry for you.
See one of my previous essays (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=42496.0) where i write about Bayo 1 and compare it to an even more grandiose game.
Does this game look that much better (graphically) than Bayonetta 1?Bayo 2 definitely looks cleaner than first game. Graphical style is very "busy" in both games as per chosen artstyle. In some moments it gets hard to discern what's exactly going on in 360 version.
Is this game as "demonic" as it looks? I didn't play 1 so not really sure. As awesome as the games combat will be, I'm not sure about story wise. For reference, the shonen jump manga stuff and anime Demons and Angels stuff does not bother me. However considering how over-the-top Platinum Games can be…In terms of violence? Well, it's not Saw or Mortal Kombat 9 (those fatalities, ugh), that's for sure. Though one of the aspect of Bayo is her sadism towards angels and you have things like torture attacks where you put angels into guillotines and iron maidens as finishers.
