Bayonetta 2 & The Wonderful 101 hands-on preview – double Platinum | Metro

Metro: "We’ve said before that Platinum Games are probably our favourite developer working today. All their games have shown a mix of imagination and mechanical excellence that makes them the masters of modern arcade gaming. What also impresses us is that in four years they’ve not made a single sequel. Although we’re not naïve enough to think that’s because they have some moral objection to them, but instead it’s because none of the games have been big enough hits to justify it.

Their greatest work remains 2009’s Bayonetta, which was only a minor success for Sega and given that publishers’ limited resources a sequel looked impossible. But unexpectedly Nintendo took Platinum under their wing and not only paid for the creation of Bayonetta 2 but also signed up new game The Wonderful 101 (née Project P-100). We’ve now been able to play both of them and our opinion of Platinum’s abilities is not diminished in the slightest."

Why Bayonetta 3 Is a Step Down From Its Predecessor

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.

MadLad501d ago (Edited 501d ago )

Yet the Switch is much more powerful than the Wii U - the platform the second game released on. So you're just being negative to be negative with that comment.

The voice acting wasn't as good...

jBlakeeper501d ago

Bayonetta herself doesn’t even look as good design wise.

-Foxtrot500d ago

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.
