Bayonetta will come out in Japan on October 29, but it won't come out stateside until January 2010.
Mike Hayes, President and COO of Sega West, explained the delay with the following statement, "Bayonetta is an extremely important new IP for SEGA and adds a new level of depth to our growing portfolio. As a result of market analysis we have taken a Publishing decision that January 2010 is the optimum release time in the Western Markets to maximize this exciting new title's potential."
Creator of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and Wonderful 101 comments on how they're all part of the same universe.
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.
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
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.
On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.
She also played Chun-Li and Major from Ghost in the Shell
oh shit, i did know that the Major voice actress passed away but i didnt know she voiced bayonetta too
rest in peace
Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad
The creator of the Bayonetta franchise Hideki Kamiya appeared in an interview and discussed the plans for the future of the series.
I just switched my Darksiders (delayed Jan 2010) pre-order to this, because until now I believed that Bayonetta was coming out this year.
And don't even get me started on the paucity of HD RPGs on home consoles this fall. I already imported Demon's Souls, so it looks like Magna Carta 2 - assuming it isn't delayed - is about it for the year. Dragon Age looks clunky; not sure if it warrants a purchase at this point based on the latest trailers. Strange, as Bioware usually does stellar work.
No! :(
WHAT...THE...HELL!!!
No Bioshock 2
No Bayonetta
No Mafia 2
Well thanks god for Brutal legend
*knocks on wood*
Please don't delay this one:'(
with all the delays until 2010 won't these games run into the same problem as to why they are delaying them? that being to many games coming out so are title will get lost in the shuffle?
I'm gonna go into a corner and cry now.
