Why We're Still Playing Bayonetta 1 & 2

NL:
When Bayonetta was confirmed as the final character in Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS, I couldn't help but be amused. Here's a character that's spent two games torturing and spanking (literally, at points) angels from heaven and demons from hell. When a combo move is achieved her outfit made of hair leaves her body to form a giant fist or boot, and she's the heroine of games that have sparked fairly heated debates on the portrayal of female characters - some say she's a powerful woman that is dominating and self-confident, others argue that she's merely a juvenile male fantasy.

I still play because there's still so much to learn.
Even after beating the game and getting every weapon and accessory, there's still so many ways to approach combat that I have yet to master.
It's an incredibly deep system once you really get into it; I don't think I'll ever fully master every trick in Bayonetta's little magic book, but it's one heck of a fun ride trying!

njulo3775d ago

bring Bayonetta 2 to Ps3/4 and Xbox1/360 please

hatsume-miku3775d ago

You know it's impossible, right? Nintendo published and funded the game, so it's not gonna release on any other console. I know it's a pity for the gamers that don't own a WiiU, but they could always consider to buy one.

deafdani3775d ago

It's not impossible, although it's unlikely.

Big difference. I know I'm going to get disagreed to hell for this, but it's a fact.

Microsoft published the first Mass Effect game. That didn't stop the game from being ported to PS3 several years later, published by EA this time.

Something similar could happen with Bayonetta, in theory. But again, it's unlikely.

wonderfulmonkeyman3771d ago

@ Deaf

You're wrong about that, actually.

See, unlike Mass Effect, Bayonetta 2 was paid for, and entirely funded, by Nintendo.

Even the owner of the franchise, Kamiya himself, has told multiple publications multiple times that Nintendo has the say-so in where Bayonetta 2 can go.

That means it will never happen.

wonderfulmonkeyman3775d ago

Quit port begging and get a Wii U for it, please.

I honestly don't think there are many games on Wii U with this aesthetical ambition like Bayonetta 2. Nothing from the other world, but I love it as it is. The heavy emphasis on water, the detailed, flexible, meticulous and yet simple design of enemies, characters and scenarios fit rightly with the game, which also happens to feel smooth and intense.

It's quiet different from the tone offered by the original Bayonetta, and also why the sequel it's not exactly more of the same.

hatsume-miku3775d ago

Yeah, and don't forget the amazing action at 60 fps. It's a feast for the eyes!

TheColbertinator3775d ago

Awesome game. Many haven't yet played it but a WiiU purchase is worth for Bayonetta 2 alone

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot463d ago (Edited 463d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

jwillj2k4463d ago

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP463d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot463d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

micdagoat19463d ago

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2

Dying at 61 in Japan is too young.

Chevalier636d ago

Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad

FACTUAL evidence636d ago

Too many greats passed in 2024. Life is never promised. R.I.P
