Topic: Bayonetta 2, now with twice as much Bayonetta

[NWR_insanolord]

I want a separate case and cover for Bayonetta 1.

I'm sure The Cover Project will have you, er, covered, in that regard.

[Nile Boogie Returns]

I'm sorry, what's The Cover Project?

It's an online database of cover art in formats you can print out. Our very own UncleBob has been really into it over the years, using their stuff to make DS cases for his old Game Boy games because he's crazy.

If Nintendo doesn't include a full case for the Bayonetta 1 disc, those guys will have a Wii U cover for it you could print out and put in a case.

This game looks so much better than the first game, I wonder how much of that is the years between development and how much of that is the power of the Wii U vs. PS360?

This is 88mph and some serious ****. Not to say it looks better than the best last gen had to offer but damn if it aint pretty.

I gotta be honest this game does not look fun at all. I haven't watched much actual gameplay, but the trailer makes it look like it's nothing but super moves and QTEs.

Platinum Games is literally the only developer in this industry who does QTEs right.

QTEs in Wonderful 101 were the shining moment in entire history of videogames.

Wrong use of QTE is taking away control from the player, Platinum never does that (the main philosophy of PG is "always gameplay first, gameplay second, gameplay third, fourth, fifth and hundreth"), QTEs are only used to enhance emotional impact and most of them are optional.

The main combat is designed in a way that QTE torture attacks are almost redundant in high-level play.

Great video montage from IGN of all people:

That's the same video Nile Boogie Returns just posted.

Deploy kinky ass scene!

I had no way of knowing that because i actively avoid giving these sites any clicks.

Here is another IGN video, showing Bayo 1 "cosplay costumes" as they call it:

I know my last forum topic was a bad idea (I'll own up to it) but here's another thought I had on Bayonetta 2. What if Nintendo released Bayonetta 1 on the eshop today for a price tag of 9.99 as of today, and then were to offer anyone who buys it part two for 29.99-39.99? We would be having something to play on the Wii U atm, would bring about lets-plays on YouTube which would be advertisement for the game right there, and would offer savings to players who buy the game digitally?

We would be having something to play on the Wii U atm

There are lots of games to play on the Wii U, including 200+ hours monster of a game from the same fricking developer as Bayonetta 1.

would bring about lets-plays on YouTube which would be advertisement for the game right there

There are literally hundreds of Bayo 1 let's plays on the net already.

I'd be down for any scheme to get 2 earlier. But i could wait for 1, because i am still playing it on 360 (finishing platinum run on Hard, about halfway there). When i get 1 on Wii U i plan to do a speed run playthrough on a clean save file on it -- it's required to unlock one specific weapon and it's cumbersome to do unless you start anew.

So you want to cut the earnings potential of a game that's not expected to sell well in the first place. Sounds legit.

US PR:

Bayonetta 2: The witch is back on Oct. 24. The game features over-the-top battles with wild weapons that take place in gorgeous set pieces. A new snake transformation lets Bayonetta better navigate underwater. The original Bayonetta game, complete with some Nintendo cosplay options for the powerful heroine, comes bundled with the retail packaged version of Bayonetta 2

Waiting for PAL date...

Will Nintendo offer DLC or pre-order bonuses for this game as well? This is turning into a very exciting holiday season.

[Adrock]

A Nintendo direct, hmm? We got a Super Smash Bros. debut trailer during the last one.

[Stratos]

Watch, Bayonetta will be the first announced DLC character for Smash and you can get her in Smash for free if you get and register Bayonetta 2 on Club Nintendo.

[Adrock]

If that's the case, I'll be getting Bayonetta for free because hashtagtwogamesforthepriceofoneomfgwhatvaluelmaobbq

What's Nintendo's Nintendo Direct to games released ratio been recently?  I'm going to guess that they've done more Nintendo Directs this year than games they have released.

Please understand.

In North America? Less than 1.

Bayonetta will be a clone of Zero Suit Samus, MARK IT DOWN. Ever since they split the character into 2 and gave ZSS those jump boots, I've been saying this.

I did not realize you were into such Kinky things.
Remind me to never introduce a "What's in Your Browser History?" Feature.

If Bayonetta makes the cut, I can't see her being a clone of Zero Suit Samus. It wouldn't make a lot of sense. Neither does Ganondorf being clone of Captain Falcon, but the situation is different. Bayonetta would presumably be included to help market Bayonetta 2. The timing couldn't be better. We're getting a Bayonetta Nintendo Direct a little over a week before Super Smash Bros. For 3DS is released in Japan, which is being released a week before Bayonetta 2. If Nintendo is going to go through all this trouble, making Bayonetta a clone of a veteran character is a really weak way to get people exciting about the upcoming game. Then again, Nintendo does weird things.
