I really wish they would have told us about Bayo 1 being included otherwise I would have put off playing the crappy PS3 port.

Not a big fan of the costumes honestly, but who cares, now I don't feel bad trading in my 360 for Best Buy space bucks last year
If the PG rep is reading will the JP version of Bayo 2 have Bayo 1 also and will the game have dual audio as well? Since I prefer the game in English (since it originally was as are the rest of Platinum's games). I ask because I'll be getting the JP version since I live in Japan now.

"Shed off, Scaleface"?
I'm sure English is Bayo's lead language. My Asian Bayo 1 has English as default.

OG Bayo didn't have JP voice over until the the Wii U release.

Bayo never had a Japanese voiceover until the Bloody Fate.
Her Japanese voice actress is Atusko Tanaka, veteran voice actress, sounds very familiar yeah, but it lacks the campy-ness English Bayo has.
So we can safely assume that all Bayo2 versions will have English?
I used to own the JP PS3 game before selling it to Bookoff and it was only ever English. I also have the US 360 game the only reason besides Red Dead for me to rebuy my 360, but no longer!
These.
Nothing is for certain, I fear they could remove the English voiceovers for the JP release.
So it's all good for you guys, but not me.
It's a sliding scale of shittiness.
Japan seems to get off best, US needs to get a retail copy if they want Bayo 1 and EU needs a retail copy AND special edition version.

Alright, this being an American thing is finally going to pay off
Also, I've come around on the outfits, they look hilarious in action

Yea, i especially like Peach tbh >.<
Not seeing that "Special Edition" yet on amazon, will totally buy though. Do we know if it will include anything on top of Bayo 1?
Btw, the Treehouse demo was great. DAT FUCKING PROLOGUE BOSS.
Regarding the story I'm guessing we'll get to fight
each and every invocation Bayonetta used in the first episode. So basically she wasn't creating monsters out of her hairs but calling demons from hell and binding them with her wicked weaves.
And now something is powering them up, so Bayonetta needs to get there to retrieve Jeanne's soul AND wreck the demon's shit.
This is going to be a grand journey, can't wait.

I thought we already knew that all of Bayonetta's huge Wicked Weaves were contracted demons? When you get to a Continue? screen and select No, you get the animation of the demons collecting your soul to munch on in hell (which is also why they quickly go to grab Jeanne's soul once it's free of her body). It's part of the contract. The lore pages/books you collect throughout the game also talk about a lot.
Which also makes me wonder. Qualities of a Witch in lore are primarily their ability to contract with demons (and use their hair as a summoning medium), their ability to use Witch Time for outrageous stunts, and their invocation of various Beast Within abilities (Butterfly, Panther, Owl, Bat). What traits are traits of the Lumen Sages beyond their ability to contract angels? Are there any traits shared with Witches?

Other than Light Speed being pretty much the same thing as Witch Time, I'm not really sure...
Though both Balder and Rodin did have to shift into the Lumen robes when powering up, similar to Jeanne donning a suit of hair for her final battle with Bayonetta. Perhaps they're similar items, though I'm not sure what material the Lumen clothes would form from.
That's the part that worries me. I'd gladly buy a "special" or "collector's" edition, with a soundtrack, artbook or what have you, but an EU special edition being just a US normal edition (based on the current info) sucks. And kinda looks like Nintendo shooting their own foot - packaging Bayo 1 and 2 is a smart move to gain new audience among those who didn't play Bayo 1, but now suddenly in EU they don't care.
The first part of your spoiler tag was already explained in the first game, actually. I'm curious what made the demons stop obeying though. I just hope Inferno is not some endgame stuff and the trailers are not giving away too much.
Bayonetta has a mech. Treehouse stream. http://e3.nintendo.com/treehouse/
And it's over. They just showed off some later area in the game where Bayonetta is in a mech, she's not the only one around with a mech, and did a few small basic combos.
Edit:

Edit:
Also, since the stream gave a much higher detailed version of the Lumen boss fight, I can see that they also use animals. Instead of a panther, he morphed into a wolf. During his double jumps and especially during his flight mode, he has feathers like a peacock.

There is no ceiling for Platinum.
When they reach the current one they knock a hole in it and throw up a ladder.

I can't wait for October when games 200 games come out and yet there's only one priority
Seriously, I'm waiting to see the stuff come up properly on amazon before assessing the situation. Just see what happened on the eShop version stuff.
Yeah I totally forgot about that part. As for the rest, after W101 and seeing how PG seemed to have plenty of time to develop it I'm convinced it's going to be a long ride. Though we don't know how much of that time was full-on production. But again, high hopes after W101.
And Bayomecha is going to get her own mecha.
BAYOMECHA²!
Is there a clip of this? Can't find any Bayonetta related material in that link.
Actually thinking about this for a second, this is way too likely. Great, you just ruined the surprise.
Holy crap! PLATINUM, DO A FULL-FLEDGED MECHA GAME!

That crescent at the back.. Goddamn. This game just keeps getting better.
I... can't... breathe...
Can we get Nintendo to fund a Vanquish 2 with remastered 60fps Vanquish 1 for Wii U?
Without Mikami? egh, idk really, mixed feelings.
Bayomecha is dope btw, but from today i'm on media blackout.

So is Japan getting some kinda fancy LE? I'll import it even if I can't play that copy if it has some nice extras.

I like to think that's Miyamoto standing the back there like "what have done"
also theres a guy who comes in, looks through the screen glass, and immediately flies for his life
Yeah Bayo 2 is pretty much day 1. Just going to wait until it drops to get my WiiU.
BTW saw this on Kamiya's twitter feed, not sure if it's official but it looks cool.

After W101 and possibly even moreso after Bayomecha, you guys have no idea how much I'd want Platinum to get the Mega Man X IP

I always saw Vanquish as Platinum's love letter to Mega Man X, much as MGR was their love letter to Mega Man Zero.
But yes, dear lord would I love for them to get their hands on that IP for a game.
Capcom should sell Mega Man to Nintendo (because they're certainly not doing anything with him) and Nintendo & Platinum should collaborate on a Mega Man game.
Are you me?
