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

Do we know (or at least estimate) how big the game will be? 10-15GB maybe?

Also, I keep reading about how good Bayonetta 2 looks compared to Bayonetta.
Does someone has a direct feed screenshot from the first game to compare? YT videos never do justice to any game.
I tried googling and actually found a thread about this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=836609

Unfortunately, there were only a few replies. There were a couple of albums from a Nintendo press kit though.

Remember the 7+ minutes epic trailer for Wonderful 101 a year ago?

The scaring thing is that the game had even more to show.

I don't think I can handle this level of awesomeness for Bayonetta 2.

Yeah, I was going to not watch any more Bayonetta 2 footage but the fact that that huge The Wonderful 101 trailer didn't really spoil everything means I am saying "fuck it" and will watch this whole Direct.
 
I'm not going to lie and say that isn't a bit off-putting. Did that distract from a lot in the original?

I always felt like in game it's not overly expressed but more fluidly shown. Bayonetta (as a game) has always been about the gameplay and spectacle at the end of the day, so that's the focus more than anything else. It's in her DNA to flaunt her sexuality but it's what makes her fun and exciting. Otherwise she'd just be another boring character in an action game with generic goals.

I really hope they announce that the demo is live right after the announcement. That'd be so hype.

it is around 17 GB, see it on eShop list
 
Yeah it's definitely not the character or setting giving me doubts, that's what's intriguing me.
I just never got round to playing DmC really and have never played GoW. W101 in that sense b was the first type of game in this style I have played, and I just found it a little...I don't know, boring. Only played it for like 4 hours.

Some of the responses make it seem like t the 2 aren't so similar though. Fingers crossed for the demo.

DmC isn't Devil May Cry

Nothing feels like 60FPS except for 59FPS

At first, until you realize and except that's just who she is (No one has ever done a character quite like this)
Those looking for something serious and down to earth (lol) will get a rude awakening.

Once you except it, instead of trying to white knight, you'll enjoy her and her antics by the end of it.

Not at all, actually. It's certainly part of the game's identity, but there was so much going on most of the time that I rarely even noticed it.
 
I'm kind of excited for this. There is a good chance I'll buy Bayonetta 2.

Today will determine whether I buy it day 1, or wait for price drop. Smash bros and hyrule warriors take precedent over it, for me, personally, but if there's some special edition, or something else that convinces me, i'll get it day 1.
 
1.5 hours.
I'm frothing now.

I think I'm going to go play The Wonderful 101 yet again(the amount of hours logged on that game is absurd) in the time being.

I recently got Pure Platinum on the second boss and then accidentally saved a Platinum over it so I am going to have to mend that.

It's the same for me and I haven't really much lately so I'm looking to play something new. Other than this I am looking for to open world Zelda. That I'll definitely buy.
 
He might be very aware of that, but might've just meant that he's.. well, simply hyped about the sequel despite not having played the original.

I was playing Bayonetta but never beat it. I liked the gameplay a lot so Bayonetta 2 including part one is great.

EDIT: I played part one b/c my brother's friend lend us the game to check it out when the game initially came out on the 360.
 
2 for 1 on Bayonetta is probably Nintendo's greatest idea (or Plat's greatest idea) for it. I'm sure just offering Bayo 1 at a discounted price ($20) would have likely been enough for most of us, but to include it outright with no catch? It's not like it was already available in a previous form and they decided to bundle it, they ported the game which would have been no small amount of work on it's own.
 
An hour 15 to go. *munches popcorn*

Wait, do I see Wonderful 101 hate in this thread?
Unite *shakes head in shame*
 
YES! Does this mean we're getting a demo? I really hope this means we're getting a demo. I need something to hold me over for the next two months.
 
I won't be watching it tbh, for obvious reasons, but honest question: is it ok if you upload the footage?

Don't know yet. Once I get the code and read embargo information I'll know then. They usually limit us to only 20mins of total gameplay footage & clips of maybe 1-minute.

Every Platinum game since the first Bayonetta had a pre-release demo. We were getting one with or without a Direct.

Oh right, I forgot they announced that after the 101 direct. Cool.

I don't need a demo to know that I want to buy it, though. I still have to finish xenoblade before Smash next friday, so no time for a bayo demo!
