Support NeoGAF

I have to give Nintendo credit, ever since the great Pokémon disaster they got their shit together and these midnight launches have been a pleasure.

Yes, they've managed to accommodate all 7 of us

They're doing it right but it's nothing quite as smooth as the PS4's pre-loading. Playing games right at midnight is pretty special. Bayonetta 2 is the first game I'm buying physically in quite some time.

Yeah, this would be really appreciated. Midnight launch is kinda pointless for most people if they can't begin playing until 2 or 3 am.

I just bought a wiiU and a wireless connection is faster than a wired connection?!?

It's because you have to use an adapter and a lot of adapters are capped at 10 megabits. Apparently a few can go faster than that though.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Eshop is down due to volume. Bayonetta selling over a million copies day one confirmed!

Or NoA servers are shit.

mario kart 8 midnight launch went really smooth alongwith hyrule warriors seems weird that this game is causing problems.

I'm currently downloading Bayo 2 at my connection's top speed without problems so far.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Kinda surprised its going slowly. Mk8 and smash 3ds midnight launch were quick and smooth for me. No way bayonetta surpassed those in initial digital sales. Maybe theres another issue.

I think Bayonetta 2 being 15GBs may have something to do with it. MK8 is only 5GB.

I went to Walmart and they didn't have a place for it nor did the guy "find" it in the back. GameStop was just shutdown like normal. If it ain't a Tuesday don't expect anything, right?
I just placed an order on Amazon. I remember picking it up at the store anyway when Bayonetta 1 came out. I'll just have to get a refurb WiiU this next week.

Keep getting error when trying to connect. I'm on a wired connection.

DOWNLOAD DOWNLOAD DOWLOAD

It's actually going fast, but I'm over tired and won't get to play until tomorrow evening.

 

[Kintaro]

Downloading now. I have unhealthy hype right now.

That's weird, I can browse the eShop normally and the donwload is going fine. I'm on wireless, though.

Edit: My download speed has now decreased significantly but it's still going.

I wish the 3ds had that. You have to sit there while they fill your game tank with jelly drops.

Hmmm, so say I have wifi speeds in excess of 100 mb/s....would it be better to use LAN because a wired connection is more stable or just stick to wifi?

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Well, I just bought into gaf's hype and purchased both games . I can usually trust you all lol and I love these types of action games

You will only get as much as USB 2.0 can handle.

 

[zroid]

have fun eShoppers. I will join you soon

Spoiler

after I've finished Bayonetta 1

 

[Northeastmonk]

I wondered about Walmart's stance on Bayonetta because I don't recall seeing it there originally. I also remember that they still edit their music. You can only get parental advisory CD's at Target or K-Mart.

I don't care. Walmart just sucks as a midnight launch gaming store unless it's a console or the stock keeper knows what they're doing. This guy didn't even know what console it was on and he looked younger than I was.

They sure love their Disney Infinity and Skylanders. They have an entire section just decked out. What's worse than that is their guide selection. Year old game guides at full price. It's an outrage. Gaming representatives have sunk low too. The advertisements aren't for upcoming games. They're for anything else. I realize Bayonetta has her figure out in the open, but still. She's a good character to show off period.

The first post in the miiverse community for this is hilarious.

 

[Clefargle]

Have fun guys, I'll have to pick this up in the coming weeks, I will be on blackout from here on out. Hhhnnnng

 

[dani_dc]

Do I buy Digital or Physical?

Do I replay Bayonetta 1 before or after I go through Bayonetta 2?

Such dilemmas.

Why couldn't Nintendo release Bayonetta 1 a week early?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Gonna be picking up my copy when I wake up :3

[Mask]

Curse you, GAME! I could have been playing this right now, but nooooo, you just had to follow the rules and tell the courier to not deliver until release day...

Ah well, at least I should be playing it on release day this time, unlike some of the other games I've preordered from Game before.

You wont be dissapointed

 

[dreamfall]

It's such a BAYOHOLIDAY!!!

 

[bobbychalkers]

Bayonetta has a result community but I don't see one for Bayonetta 2.

Looking at Miiverse for Bayo 2, does the game come with stamps/equivalent? Everyone has the same "drawn" picture of Bayonetta.

 

[DaanMuffin]

Yeah the game comes with unlockable stamps

 

[Spineker]

Wait, Australia has to wait another 8 hours?

Oh wow, you poor bastards. Nintendo doesn't mind screwing you guys sometimes.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Oh god, 31 minutes to install??? :{

Sorry neighbors, you're going to be hearing "TOMORROW IS MIIIIIIINNNNNEEEE!!!" in your nightmares tonight >

LOL, I was just about to post this...

Install instantly shoots to 25% *Hooray!*
Timer comes up at 28min *Motherfucker!*

Yes. You have to collect Umbran Crows that unlock different types of stamps to use for Miiverse.

One hour Bayonetta 1

One hour Bayonetta 2

repeat ad infinitum

Cheers!

8 more hours till I get home and then I'll have to wait for the game to download

 

[K.Sabot]

Friend of mine checked 3 walmarts in an hour's radius and none of them had it. Meanwhile I'm just here like "Amazon doesn't ship mine until monday".

 

[Blues1990]

I'm going to pick up my copy after my doctor's appointment, so I'm pretty excited, as I had only dabbed with the Xbox 360 version of Bayonetta 1. So, I'm going in this with a fresh perspective.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

You wont be dissapointed

I have a feeling you're right!

Is anyone else only getting 1-2 MB/s download speeds? I have a 10 MB/s connection

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Definitely going with retail on this one!

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow!"

[Famassu]

So, should I play Bayo 1 again, with decent framerate this time, before playing Bayo 2 or not?

Choices, choices...

I'd rush through it once while skipping through most of the cutscenes. Bayonetta isn't really all that long a game for someone who knows what he/she is doing (and knows the secret of quick-cutscene-skipping), so as long as you're not going for 100% completion, then you should be done with Bayo 1 in an evening or two.

 

[TEJ]

So close! I can feel the love in this topic tonight! Oh, I just can't WAIT to get my hands on this game.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

downloading

 

[Saint Gregory]

Less than a minute...

I'm so damn tired though

 

[TatteredHat]

This game is just as crazy and outlandish as the first one, I'm in love.

 

[Boss Doggie]

My store still doesn't have Bayo 2 fsfsafaddasdadasd

 

[toastyToast]

Looks like my Wii U really did kick the bucket. God fucking damn it

Excellent timing

 

[leroidys]

wireless N is way faster than the usb adapter, which caps you at what, 10 megabits?

Wired connections are more reliable though.

 

[T.O.P]

Heading to gamestop

 

[Death Metalist]

Will join you guys in the next few days, can't wait. Got a pro controller just for this game!

 

[Hero of Legend]

Wow stamps! :O

Do both games support them?
