It’s a fun extra but it’s one we’ve already seen in the Wii U version. New is the ability to use the touchscreen of the Nintendo Switch to control the wicked witch. Needless to say, both are fun to have and it’s impressive to see how well Bayonetta 1 still performs after all those years.Īt its core, this still is the same game that released years ago, the story is still the same and the action is still as fast. You can buy Bayonetta 1 together with the physical Bayonetta 2 copy (1 will be a downloadable game), or you can get both at a discount on the Nintendo eShop. This sequel is considered as the better version but it’s always a good idea to see where the franchise started. Nintendo decided to help in the cost, transforming Bayonetta 2 into a Wii U exclusive. When fans were asking for a sequel, the money to make one ran low. NOTE: The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game are the same.Don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day? No need to worry, the sexy Bayonetta is your date for today! Since Bayonetta 3 is still far, far away, Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to bring the first two Bayonetta games to their shiny new Nintendo Switch, who can blame them? In this review, we’ll focus on the port of Bayonetta 1, which basically is the same port we got on our Wii U systems.īayonetta was originally released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, as one of Platinum Games’ most loved hack ‘n slash games. If you're up for the challenge, Sega's Bayonetta is a good pick for mature players who prefer fast and cinematic action, wild environments, and fantastic moves. Be forewarned: your thumbs are in for a serious workout. Expect plenty of camera angles, slow-motion effects, and over-the-top moves that would even make Quentin Tarantino grin with delight. Bayonetta can even use her long hair to call forth creatures, temporarily transform her into beasts, or fly her into the air. Other weapons are available, too, such as a glowing katana sword or items left behind by angels, and all are upgradeable. Bayonetta's set of double-barrel guns, which are held in her hands and strapped to both ankles, each have their own name - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - and as such, are referred to as "Scarborough Fair." Couple this with outrageous acrobatics and you can imagine the devastating attacks on enemies. Yes, Bayonetta is good, but only if you enjoy over-the-top, visceral action. Environments range from gothic castles and graveyards to small towns and courtyards. Not unlike the frantic third-person action in Devil May Cry, much of this game fuses gunplay with melee moves (powerful kicks, flips, punches, and slams) and dark magic that lets her summon demons or objects of torture from the underworld (such as guillotines and iron maidens). Eventually, you'll help unravel the mystery of Bayonetta's identity and purpose. With little recollection of who she is and why she's battling against hoards of heaven's angels, this femme fatale makes her way to a remote area of Europe for an epic confrontation. Created by renowned developer Hideki Kamiya ( Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami), this Japanese import tells of a beautiful witch who awakens after a 500-year slumber. The first videogame of the year is a stylized action romp, with over-the-top moves and fast-paced combat that requires some serious button mashing in order to succeed. If Sega's BAYONETTA is any indication, there will be a lot of sore thumbs in 2010.
