Haha, I've finished Bayonetta 1 3 times (twice on Hard) and I'm getting my ass handed to me on Normal. It's really taking me longer than I figured to get used to the Pro Controller. I think it's the placement of the 'B' button that's really throwing me off, it seems too low, or the buttons seem too far apart, or something.
My thumb just refuse to go to the Y or B buttons, they seem unwieldy.
Also, you can't jump and move the camera at the same time, like you can with an Xbox controller.

I have the same issue. Barely using jump as a result. My hands are too big for it I think. But I beat the game so it's not too bad.
They did do release date shipping, Amazon's shipping priority just gets screwed up when stuff that got ordered before release date delivery was an option. You just have to reapply the shipping method as 2 day even if it was already set to 2 day shipping before it actually ships and it would have arrived today. Obviously too late to fix now, but now you know for next time.

would need shipment number to get an idea
but due to the attitudes of most retailers towards WiiU games and shelf space ranking #6+ for weeks on Amazon it better news than sold out at places who don't care about stocking WiiU games

My god yes. I don't know how I managed this, but I made it happen.
holy shit this is so good. I don't know what I was expecting but every little minor thing that bugged me about bayo1 is fixed. Unless it starts throwing instakill QTEs at you later on of course.
I started on climax 3 and it seems pretty tough, I assumed this would be 'normal' but I guess it's 'hard'? Well, I'm managing now, so I'll stick with it.
Also that first city hub area with the blue skies and the water and the smooth framerate gave me some comfy dreamcast vibes. Took my time exploring and still missed one encounter somehow.

I'm 7 hours in and loved every minute of it so far.
I'm pretty sure this will be my GOTY.

Bwahaha. Your guess is as good as mine. Though she was shown off at the last Wonder Festival (a Japanese toy show), so I would imagine now that Bayonetta 2 is out, hopefully pre-orders will open soon. Something similar happened with the newest Labrys figure from Persona 4 Arena. She was done for ages, but they waited until the new game came out to open pre-orders.

Just plug it in and FUGGETABOUTIT
You can turn the display off in the home menu, but you can't turn it off completely
just keep it in the charge cradle and out of view obviously
Nice haul!
So the moment I went back home from work and ate a bit, I tanked one hour of Bayo 2, which was so FUCKING good, holy shit. I couldn't wait to try it.
Then I played a solid 2h30m of Bayo 1, solid port. Still can't believe we got both games in one package.
My eyes hurt now, need sleep, but will definitely play again tomorrow, the hype was totally worth it.

There's actually a trick, that involves just moving as far away as possible with the gamepad in hand from the Wii U that it loses communication with the console and the gamepad just shuts off and doesn't come back on unless you hit the power button back on. Kind of hassle to do that but if it annoys you it does work and the range is pretty small so you don't have to move too far to get it to work. Personally I just always have it charging so it doesn't really bother me. Wish they gave you an option though.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
But you haven't even played Tropical Freeze yet.
Damn Bayonetta 2 is giving the ape serious competition through.
After The Wonderful 101, I promise.

It gets disabled in some games but if you hit the home button you can go into controller options. There should be a turn off screen option in there. Doesn't completely turn the controller off, but you should be able to just cradle it after that.

I've had a Wii U for nearly a year and I haven't played either of them yet.
I'm a bad person.

Man, I feel so shitty right now.. I have both Bayo waiting for me (never played either) and I am on a 24hrs shift at the hospital.

Home -> controller settings -> display off. Then use the left thumb stick on the Pro to hit the back button.
Yeah, you know it's bad when you're continuously pressing the wrong button when the prompt shows up for Torture Attacks. Every time I try to hit Y, I hit X instead, and jumping or moving the camera feels terrible.
It shouldn't be that hard to adjust to a new controller.
Eh, I figured by time I got to Chapter 4 of Bayo 1, I would have adapted, but it's still as cumbersome as when I started. I might as well start over, because my scores were so bad.
You also just bought it and are holding it and using it for the first time. It doesn't mean you're retarded just because you don't adapt to it within the first 10 minutes.
You'll get used to it trust me. And when you do then you will realize.
It mixed me up at first too, then I tried to visualize a SNES controller and it helped me quite a bit to get used to it.
That's just me though, I played SNES for many years and still do today sometimes, doesn't mean it'll work for everyone.
It's actually the physical spacing of the buttons that is throwing me off, they are farther apart than an Xbox controller or a Dualshock.
I know which button is which, but my fingers don't like them.
Oh I see, just give yourself some time then, it's not even been a day since you got your console, after all.
Something wrong love?
Same for me. The spacing is weird and I was just playing bayonetta on 360 so that isn't helping at all.
lol
For some reason I didn't like the swords in the demo of Bayo 2, although they were almost always in one of my two sets of weapons in Bayo 1. Weird.I feel like I'm going to use anything but the guns in this playthrough. So far I just have the swords and I already never want to go back to the guns.
Noooooooooo ;_;
Soo how are swords x swords? Is that what you guys are using early on?

I really love how unique all of the weapons in this game are.
And the new moveset for the default guns rocks. So much cooler than the one in the first game.

I must say that I'm kinda disappointed with Bayo 2.
Sure, the gameplay is incredible, as well the graphics, the stages, the characters... even the story this time is better than the first one.
But I think Bayo 1 is still better. It's a more charming game, I think Bayo 2 is too serious, it's like Cereza lost her sense of humor after Chapter 2! I know the circumstances are different, but stil... B2 is less sarcastic, less silly, less diverse.
There are some good surpries, but I think the first one was more shocking, and not just because it was original, I was playing (again) last month and I was laughing so much!
Also, I'm sad that I think that we probably won't have Bayo 3 =(

Man, this game has like perfect pacing. One of my few complaints about the first Bayonetta was the pacing between the combat, cutscenes, and boss fights. I don't know, they just never seemed well synced to me. One or the other would be too long or too short. But this time around it just flows.
Is it just me or does the rumble function for the Pro Controller feel more active when being used to play Bayonetta?
I've played MK8 and Hyrule Warriors with the Pro Controller and couldn't even feel the rumble. I figured the rumble function must be crap for the Pro Controller. But when used to play Bayonetta the Pro feels like a jack hammer.

I just noticed this a few minutes ago. Playing Bayo 1 and got Breakdance. Damn, that rumble...I've never felt it before
