Two years since we surprised you with the return of the Umbra... Ready for an all new #Bayonetta2!? 6 days to go!

I still remember that day and how I literally screamed.

Yeah, I was legit shocked.

Only six days, wow. It sure was a long wait all this time, but we made it!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Sooooooo close

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

It will be lucky if it even reaches 200k. That's my personal outlook. The Wii U is simply a toxic platform. Unless you're Mario, you ain't selling.

Hyrule Warriors sells great in the west.

W101 > Bayo 2

controversial opinions :^)

 

[Bronetta]

Another Friday 9-5 peasant checking in. I contemplated taking the Friday off but I figure I'll have the rest of the weekend with it anyways.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Honestly surprised at the review scores.

Nintendo should keep doing this, publish games from talented developers that wouldn't otherwise get made. Solidify a hardcore library that justifies the Wii U as a second console.

there is a hope that devils third ... ah forget it

Devils 3rd has chance if it's polished to hell and back by Nintendo, as far as I heard the game is content complete, the fact we haven't been hearing from it implies to me that Nintendo knows it looks very rough. Hopefully it can get sorted out.

It seems it's at least part if their strategy with Devils Third Also fittng the bill. They also seem to be getting some collaborations with Hyrule Warriors, SMT X FE, Starfox, etc...

Will the Wii U OS allow me to download and install Bayonetta 2 before Bayonetta 1?

Sure, I think the two games are on separate packages on the E-Shop anyway.

You'll just get a discount for B1 after buying B2, so you could go get it later.

so there is hope .

I also hope that nintendo can pick up some of the smaller devs and fund them to make games (mistwalker.please make last story 2)

[mrmickfran]

Looks like your co-worker had a similar idea in mind and beat you to it >=3

Wouldn't it be fun it later you find out that he asked for a day off to play Bayonetta?

I would be fucking infuriated if I found out he took it off for Bayonetta 2.

Anyone have the Santa Rodin "Beautiful" gif on hand, after watching the Bayonetta 2 launch trailer (had no idea it had long since been out), I felt the need to have it.

Bought a Wii U that year, yes I did.

 

[alf717]

I think the reveal had more of an impact on me from the responses the game was getting towards being Wii U exclusive. I knew very little about the Bayonetta and almost bought the game just to see how it plays. So glad I waited cause the current price tag for two games is an amazing deal to me. The demo really impressed me unlike the Wonderful 101 demo. I went in with very low hype but that demo sold me on the game. I plan to pick it up when the game releases next week.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

just a few more days, this better sell with all the hype it has been getting from the high reviews

it at least deserves a Bayo3 nod :3

 

[Seik]

Same.

It really was the unexpected megaton everyone was waiting for.

 

[Zomba13]

Next week is gonna be Platinum hype week. Korra in 3 days then Bayonetta 2 a little after that.

It won't. This is P*, where the games are the highest caliber but refuse to sell.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I guess review threads are the new per release OTs huh

 

[Zalman]

I was so happy. Couldn't believe Bayonetta 2 actually happened.

I refuse to play Korra still waiting to stream the whole show on Netflix on seating
but will download on PS4 to support P*

PS3 version and 360 version had screen tearing, that's all I meant.

What he´s saying is that he already mentioned v-sync, so saying "and no tearing" is straight Thomson and Thompson territory.

Somewhere in that thread there's a collection of the butthurt. I almost feel that as a celebration of the game coming out we should drag them through the mud in the OP one last time.

Nintendo should just acquire the IP from Sega.

They'll just ruin the thread. Best not to bother.

The gif that sold me a Wii U.

 

[AdanVC]

After seeing Hyrule Warriors open with 190k in US per NPD, I think Bayonetta could do 125k-150k in Oct. Nintendo is actively marketing the game, the early embargo lift with perfect scores has given the game tons of attention, and the demo release was well timed. Hell, maybe it'll match Hyrule Warriors and so near 200k for launch. I feel like Bayonetta 2 may surprise us.

This! Actually I'm quite optimistic about Bayonetta 2 this time... It's been making lot's of positive buzz this past couple weeks, at least more than TW101 and any other game on Wii U since MK8. The fact that is the highest rated game so far this year will definitely convince some people here and there to buy the game or purchase a Wii U.

Some halfway decent sales would be my personal christmas miracle.

Man, one can hope....

But... it was Sept 13th!

My reaction? "GAF is going to flip their shit!" and the exclusive bit made me knew some folks would not be so happy.

 

[mandas]

I am ready to play this. It has been some time since I have been so hyped.

You cancelled it without seeing what Biogamer Girl or Pocket-Lint had to say? D:

Jesus. Based on 46 reviews. Mario Kart 8 has over 80 with an average score of 88. I'm not sure Bayo 2 will collect that many or not but it's still very impressive. I now have to buy a game in a genre that I'm not even a fan of. Hopefully with the B2G1 deal.

 

[strobogo]

My cousin has the Japanese version and I played it. Wasn't into it at all. I didn't play the first one, but I did play and love MGR. It's so simple and very flash over substance.
