SegmentNext - "A lot of joyful and saddened reactions were seen when Nintendo announced Bayonetta 2 to be heading to the Wii U as an exclusive title.
The saddened reactions off course coming from the ones who are content with their current console and want to play the sequel to the original Bayonetta without buying Nintendo’s console."
Bayonetta's character design and abilities have changed a lot since the series debuted in 2009, with new costumes and dark arts in every title.
Many fans have been expressing their disappointment with Bayonetta 3. Here's why the recently released game is a clear step down from Bayonetta 2.
I thought they focused on big kaiju like fights which felt gimmicky and thy brought this new character in to try and get away from the leading star
*Spoilers*
I mean they pretty much killed 3 big characters. They killed Jeanne, Luka and Bayonetta herself and it's not the fact they died it's how they died, we've seen Jeanne and Bayonetta survive countless things yet they go out by the lamest ways possible.
Nintendo has updated Bayonetta 2 to version 1.2.0 and they have also shared the patch notes for this update on the Nintendo Switch.
Anything short of reassuring the fans that bought the first bayonetta that they'll get bayonetta 2 soon on the system they bought it for is insulting. I know the game is coming to xbox and ps3 sometime down the line because of the install base and potential sales but they need to tell their fans.
Can't complain if Nintendo invested to make this game, where Sega wasn't willing to
If Nintedo go the extra mile and buy Platinum games and make them put out games like this and Vanquish regularly they will win back my respect as a gamer and my money
A big thumbs up to Nintendo for ensuring the continuation of this frachise. Bayonetta may be initially just plain out weird and frankly unappealing to a lot of folk but it's also the best example of the genre and for me personally a system seller. Disappointing for some that it's on a machine people had no intention of purchasing probably but that's how it is. Some fans will be highly unimpressed no doubt but will that honestly stop them selling their soul for this game?- only if they truly didn't understand and love the game in the first place
I adore the Halo franchise for example and would buy another console were it decided MS didn't want the ip any more- obviously not likely
So you want to grow your franchise and you thought the best way to do that would be to annoy every single person who bought it on the PS3 or the 360 and hit an install base of 0...
mmmmmmmm... right...
"Bayonetta is a brand that we want to see become stronger, reaching the hands of more and more gamers"...
So they made it exclusive to one console?
