Wii U version of Bayonetta 1 makes a small change to Jeanne’s model

There are a few differences in the Wii U version of Bayonetta 1 compared to the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games. There’s off-TV play and touchscreen support on the GamePad. A few Nintendo costumes are also included. As it turns out, PlatinumGames also made a change to Jeanne’s model.

I didn't get the chance to play bayonetta to busy playing god of war series king of h&s masterpiece

[Roccetarius]

I hope you're being sarcastic, but it makes sense since GoW is one of the most simple games made.

[SG1_dapunisherX]

you're being sarcastic if you think gow is simple game to play. play in higher difficulty and you will see the game is not simple. gow is better series get it over. doesn't mean baynotta is lame i just miss out hopefully i get the chance to play again & this time beat it and platinum it like i alway do to all games i buy if not to annoy to get..

Bayonetta is the best "stylish action" game ever along with DMC4. Hands fu**ing down!

[Harkins1721]

And best.

[Neckbear]

It's kind of sad that there are actually people who think like this...

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Bayonetta isn't a H&S though. There is a clear difference between character actions games and H&S.
Character action games have deep combat, while H&S games have simple and basic combat.

Where do you think the name Hack and Slash came from? literally you just hack and slash, nothing more to it.

[Yokan]

I think the Japanese categorized them as stylish action.

[Chrischi1988]

Look, I am not disagreeing, that Bayo is worse than GoW, but I am disagreeing with it being the best H&S^^ Not by far! But whatever, that is subjective, but only fanboys would go so far.

[mydyingparadiselost]

Strange, I was so busy playing Bayonetta, the Queen of deep meaningful combat action, that I didn't get a chance to play GoW. And I don't feel like I missed much, but I think you missed a LOT.

[d3nworth1]

That comparison was completely unnecessary.

[deafdani]

If you didn't play Bayo, you have no criteria to judge which series is better.

I have played Bayo, and all of the GoW games. I love them for different reasons.

GoW has better graphics and better story (which isn't saying much, lol), and is more spectacular visually because it's a very cinematic experience. My favorite is GoW 3.

Bayonetta has better combat and better controls.

"We fixed Jeanne’s chest size."

"Kamiya wasn’t happy with the original model (chest was too big), so we made it smaller, like the concept art. :)"

... well, I guess now we know why so few Japanese players bothered to pick it up ;) :P

[randomass171]

lol Gotta keep it authentic. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[MasterCornholio]

Did they make it smaller or did Nintendo make it smaller?

Serious question.

"Kamiya wasn’t happy with the original model (chest was too big), so we made it smaller, like the concept art. :)"

There.

A Japanese that doesn't like big breasts.......that's a first.

[RedDeadLB]

Why didn't they fix her ridiculously small head?

[Roccetarius]

Sounds like a completely unnecessary change, but it's a good thing i have the original game. Having seen their models in Bayonetta 2 compared to 1, i definitely prefer the first game.

[DrRobotnik]

So they pulled a "Tomb Raider" update. Hope it helps with sells...it won't.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Oh brother, here we go again; people making a bigger deal out of something tiny and insignificant.

[MasterCornholio]

You mean that now their tiny and insignificant.

;)

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Hardy har har. You know people are making this into something horrible when its not...

[Chrischi1988]

And I am wondering, when the first feminist come by and try to make Nintendo bad again, because they had to change nothing but the breasts^^ Or something like that, you know what I mean^^

[Geekman]

It's N4G, what do you expect.

[Spotie]

Who's making it into a big deal?

[Wni0]

Good arcade fire song

[MegaRay]

Pre-order cancelled!

[pcz]

so they decreased her boob size because its unrealistic, but she shoots bullets out her heels. makes sense

i think nintendo had something to do with this

[marloc_x]

Kamiya prompted the change..

[pcz]

after an email from nintendo ;)

[CouldHaveYelledUiiW]

That's right,
blame the * company that told Platinum to make sure Bayonetta wears no undershirt beneath her LINK (of LoZ) Cosplay.

And blame the company that rescued and helped produce and fund "Devil's Third" a game that shows blood, gore, and a tattooed woman in a thong.

In other words, I think you are wrong.

*Nintendo

[BlackWolf]

And more "outstanding" deductions from pcz. What's next? A meteorite shower that you'll be blaming on Nintendo, too? Come on, don't be ridiculous!

Seriously. Get a life.

[pcz]

lmao dont get mad at me. i can definitely envisage nintendo giving them certain conditions when making such a game, after all, they 'commissioned' it.

one of those conditions was probably to reduce sexual content

[marloc_x]

Lol..maybe :)

[Tito08]

Some of you might be upset, but pcz has a point, of course, Nintendo helped fund Bayonetta and Devil's Third, that means those games could be done under certain conditions, and obviously since it's made by two different developers, obviously the conditions won't become the same, and Nintendo is known to be a company which pretty much doesn't get along with most 3rd parties, and they're not getting any 3rd party support, so obviously you will see them supporting as many unfunded projects as they can to save face, and since a lot of you love to brag about Nintendo having 'Money in the bank', then they better start put that bank account into good use, because certainly, they're not going anywhere with the way the Wii U is currently doing, honestly.

[pcz]

i was looking at nintendo's site a few weeks ago because i was interested in pre-ordering the double pack for beyonetta, and one thing stood out to me- they made a point of stating on the page that the double pack had a mature rating because of the content for the first game.

what does that tell you? it tells me that the second game is toned down in comparison. not only that, but nintendo feels it needs to explain why its games have mature content, instead of just letting it speak for itself.

so now i hear they reduced her breast size, it makes me think nintendo had a say in it. for wahatever reason, nintendo aren't comfortable with certain themes, probably because they have established themselves as a family friendly brand. this may be the reason for the need to explain the rating on their site. so even when they do give us mature games, they are very cautious about how those games reflect on their image and brand.

i remember back when they first published eternal darkness, a big thing was made about it, it was a new thing that nintendo were developing a game with such mature themes, Illuminati, secret societies, evil, violence etc. but as the release drew closer, nintendo distanced themselves from the game. they didnt market it a lot. many think nintendo got cold feet over it.

i dont think things have changed a lot with nintendo, they still have that apprehension with these mature games. dont get me wrong, its fantastic we are getting beyonetta, i will likely pre order the double pack, but stories like this about reducing breast size annoy me. its so anal.. and typically nintendo.

[AWBrawler]

@PCZ did you watch the bayonetta 2 direct? They definitely didn't tone her down. She still gets naked and it's still gorey. Why are you trying to make Nintendo out to be some horrible company?

[dubal-e]

But here's the good news. If u still want the big boobies you can get the bayonetta breast enhancement dlc pack for $19.99

[Blacklash93]

For anyone calling this a censorship issue: Kamiya said he likes her breasts smaller and that's why this tweak exists.

[Nemix]

I've watched the comparison @ Eurogamer between the Wii U, Xbox 360 and PS3 version and did not find any size difference in Boyonetta's chest size. The developers might have changed the shadow details and outlines around her boobs to make it look like they have been superficially reduced in size but the actual model and size remains the same as far as I can tell. So Nintendo fans still get a both boobs and ass on the Wii U version of Boyentta, personally I think the new upcoming Fatal Frame for the Wii U tries to sell sex a lot more than the Boyonetta series does.
