I'm using the gamepad just fine, yes my hands gets more tired after a while, but I don't feel handicaped playing the game on the gamepad. Otherwise just use whatever you like more unless you really want that off TV gameplay.

Cool, cool. Thanks.
I meant to post as soon as I beat the game, but I was too exhausted and had to sleep for a few hours.
WOW, what a joyride! 10/10 in my mind, easily. I ended up playing it all in one sitting, actually streaming the whole game. Was an absolute blast, with crazy bosses and an insane amount of combat. Never got tired of the main type of combat throughout. Some of those bosses are absolutely bonkers. And bosses were incredibly frequent, as were challenge rooms and other fun distractions. Heck, I'm about to start streaming it again, was just too much fun and all I want to do is grab the gamepad again and play all weekend.
So, in case anyone has experience with these kinds of games, I may have a suggestion if you haven't started yet. You should probably play this game on the Hard difficulty (3rd climax) from the onset. I did it on the Normal equivalent, and it was way too much of a cakewalk. Never had to use an item, never died. Personally, the viewers said I rushed through the game, even though I felt like I was going at an actually pretty mellow pace...but whatever the case, the game was just a few minutes over 8 hours for me to complete.
Argh! So good, so so good! I have nothing really negative to say except I really hate it in games when the AI is constantly telling you to "hurry up!" but the game itself is encouraging you to look around and explore...got old really quick

Before you start a chapter, choose the menu option then there should be a choice for Character Selection

I got this game about 30 min ago and each time i put the disc in it says invalid disc.
All my other games work, is it a known issue for this game?
I mean the Bayonetta 1 disc works so i'm guessing it's the disc itself and not the system.

I am destroying my old Bayo1 PS3 scores. I beat the game a long time ago but I never quite "got gud" and I was playing on Easy. I played up until my gamepad died and I was getting consistently getting Gold, Platinums and Pure Platinums on normal.

Nevermind then i kept cleaning the disc until it finally worked, thank god lol.

Are the new costumes only for Bayo 1?

Thinking about picking up a Wii U for this game, literally been going back and forth between yes or no, just wait for days now. Is it playable with the Wii U gamepad or is the Pro controller pretty much a necessity? Wanna go for the Mario Kart pack and score Super
Mario Bros 3D world just for good measure.

Download in progress... seems to be sold out pretty much everywhere here in town. No biggie although I'd like to be playing NOW.

Mind is semi shattered at
. Might as well have been a final boss in some games given how epic it was. "Epic" is a word I rarely use, but dayum was that special. A bit tough to see things, but largely forgivable.
I never Pure Platinumed Bayo1, but the setup seems the same. Which is kinda annoying. I really liked the checkpoint system in Rising such that the game only autosaved after the rank was displayed, so you could quickly quit and restart. Here, the game autosaves before the rank is displayed. Am I right in that that is going to really be frustrating and require potential restarts of whole chapters?

Just got to chapter 8. Man, I haven't been this compelled to play a game that doesn't have achievements or trophies in AGES. It has all the spectacle of God of War but with better gameplay and a playful attitude. Not sure if it beats 1 yet, but it is certainly awesome.
A definite GOTY contender.

Haven't noticed that myself, but you can separately adjust the Music, SFX & Voice volume in settings.
So I finally got back to playing it, upped the difficulty to max and thought to myself "Huh, this isn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be"
...Then I found the enemy who can block and swing multiple times >.< Needless to say I ate crow quickly and learned to "git gud" to know when to dodge.

BTW, I still love the swords and so glad they are the first weapons available
Plenty playable with the gamepad. I prefer it over the pro controller actually.

Ok. Let me put down the controller for a moment and ask this one question.
Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make bayonetta look like her vagina is glowing when her magic is full charged up? I mean come on man...this is a bit much.

Can't judge a girl for being on the verge of climaxing man.

Finally got this in my hands, that last hour of work and commute home lasted an eternity.
Also, I asked a Gamestop employee how many people picked Bayo 2 up today and he said people had been consistently getting it all day. I know it doesn't really mean anything, but it made me happy

Question.
If I get it digitally, I only get Bayonetta 2 with a discount for Bayonetta 1?

Just finished chapter IV, some sick stuff in that one. Gonna get some sleep now and enjoy the rest of this magnificent game tomorrow!
Played the majority off TV on the gamepad. For those wondering: it's perfectly playable and looks great on the pad.

Yeah those things are godlike. They're my favorite weapons right now.
Had the same Problem, if you play over the TV Speakers change the WiiU Sound Settings from Surround to Stereo. This should fix your Problem.
Check your wiiu system sound settings. If its on surround..change to stereo.

Make sure your sound output configuration matches your speaker configuration (you know, 5.1 when using 5.1, Stereo when using headphones or TV speakers...). I've had similar problems because of that in the past...
