Bayonetta will come out in Japan on October 29, but it won't come out stateside until January 2010.
Mike Hayes, President and COO of Sega West, explained the delay with the following statement, "Bayonetta is an extremely important new IP for SEGA and adds a new level of depth to our growing portfolio. As a result of market analysis we have taken a Publishing decision that January 2010 is the optimum release time in the Western Markets to maximize this exciting new title's potential."
The creator of the Bayonetta franchise Hideki Kamiya appeared in an interview and discussed the plans for the future of the series.

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.
I just switched my Darksiders (delayed Jan 2010) pre-order to this, because until now I believed that Bayonetta was coming out this year.
And don't even get me started on the paucity of HD RPGs on home consoles this fall. I already imported Demon's Souls, so it looks like Magna Carta 2 - assuming it isn't delayed - is about it for the year. Dragon Age looks clunky; not sure if it warrants a purchase at this point based on the latest trailers. Strange, as Bioware usually does stellar work.
No! :(
WHAT...THE...HELL!!!
No Bioshock 2
No Bayonetta
No Mafia 2
Well thanks god for Brutal legend
*knocks on wood*
Please don't delay this one:'(
with all the delays until 2010 won't these games run into the same problem as to why they are delaying them? that being to many games coming out so are title will get lost in the shuffle?
I'm gonna go into a corner and cry now.
