Nintendo Direct NA on 9/4 at 3 PM PT for Bayonetta 2 for WiiU

I'm glad there's a Direct for Bayonetta and all, but Directs are just preaching to the choir. Nintendo better put out a social and mainstream media blitz for this game. It deserves it.
 
Here is my hype train thought "what if like...Bayonetta 1 comes out after the direct on the eShop".

I'm cool. I'll read the summary in the morning. I'm only interested in 3 things anyway:
-Date
-Special Edition (pricing in particular)
-How they are handling 1 & discount (as in pricing of 1 etc)

Norwegian online retailers already have both the SKUs available, with date 24. Oct. The price of Bayo 2+1 is generally a little bit higher, but not too much
 
I really don't wanna watch yet I do wanna watch. :(

Just for the hope of a last minute announcement of a Bayonetta 2 Edition Wii U in blue with gold details.

Its gone down to £31.85 on amazon uk.
Putting these 2 together makes me think. Wonder if they [Amazon UK] will change it to the special edition as the description says "Also includes Bayonetta 1".

Part me has an eerie feeling that Standard will be RRP £40 with special having RRP £50 (at the same time it could be like Pokemon where the RRP for both versions is the same). We will see after the direct for sure [as Nintendo UK store will probably list game then] and it costs nothing to cancel.

Wonderful 101 was a £40 game for anyone curious (as is Zelda Mussou) so it goes to measure to think that Bayo 2 would be in the same tier.
 
No way I'm watching this. No point in watching a direct for a game you've already decided to purchase, you'll just ruin it for yourself.

Maybe a limited edition with her new pair of guns to match the old pair with the original release.

Have mostly been on deliberate blackout for this, but might as well watch this.

I noticed it's number 8 in Best Sellers in PC & Video Games on amazon uk too. Not sure how significant that is (how often does the list update?... idk).

A demo would but amazing but I'm expecting nothing... to avoid disappointment.
 
Its probably been said but i got a feeling the wonderful 101 will be given for free if you register bayonetta 2 during the first week or month

Do it Iwata
 
A Direct for one game? Is this normal?

Seems weird. They've been on fire with their inside-scoops and such, but I thought Directs were limited towards showcasing a lot of games.

There were directs solely for MK8, W101, and for Hyrule Warriors, and Tomodachi Life. They've shifted more to single game directs as of late.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I've pretty much only followed the bigger ones with many games. Excuse my ignorance.
 
I hadn't heard the cutscenes were all 30fps -- was that information from an interview/Nintendo?

I remember reading that somewhere and so far in 60fps footage those have been 30fps. Not 100% sure though that it applies to every cutscene.
 
Great. That means the special edition is exclusive to GAME probably.

Ive made a preorder just incase.

Doubt they'll have the special edition as a retailer exclusive.
It's not limited, it's more like a day one edition.
Also Amazon UK mentions the Bayo 1 in a separate disc on the description.
