Nintendo and Playboy Join Forces to Promote Bayonetta 2

Chris Mawson writes: "In one of the more unusual popular culture cross-promotions in recent memory, family-friendly gaming giant Nintendo has combined forces with Playboy to promote hack-and-slash title Bayonetta 2, which was released exclusively for the Wii U on Friday (October 24)."

Nintendo and Playboy in the same sentence, call me shocked :b

Anyway, the model needs longer legs, as well as most of the women who try to portray Bayonetta. Nonetheless, is still good.

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Yeah its cool for sure, but the Model Doesn't look like Bayonetta ;/

[Justindark]

it looks better bayonetta legs are too long and thin compared to her ass size exp in that pic.

[BullyMangler]

Sony is cool too

[SilentNegotiator]

And you replied with this comment why? Metallox sure didn't say anything about Sony.

[solidjun5]

huh? A bit off-topic there. Not surprised coming from you you would say this.

[Bimkoblerutso]

I don't actually get it. What is this, the 80's? Who the hell is going to go out and buy a Playboy mag or pay a subscription fee to see a decent cosplay of Bayonetta?

Why not choose an advertising partner that is still relevant?

[HammadTheBeast]

I wish she had longer hair too. Game is fantastic.

[pasta_spice]

Bayonetta's long spider legs are impossible in real life. But kudos to this lady for trying!

[FriedGoat]

Classic 'behind with the times' Nintendo. Would have made sense 10 years ago when playboy was relevant.

[Ck1x]

You saying this just proves how much you know! Your next comment will be that the porn industry doesn't exist...

[FriedGoat]

What? Of course it exists, it's just if people want porn they don't got to playboy anymore.

[Kennytaur]

Bayonetta is unrealisticly proportioned though.

Edit: But come to think of it, it would be possible to get close using clever camera manipulation.

[Spenok]

Yeah definitely an odd thing to think about, and actually see. You're also right about the legs. I wonder if they could have also gone with a model that looks more like her too. Oh well I guess.

[98xpresent]

You CANNOT call Nintendo "kiddie" anymore.

[firelogic]

lol. The exception doesn't make a rule.

If they actually wanted to partner with Playboy, why didn't they go all the way with a full nude pictorial? Having a playmate cosplay as Bayonetta isn't edgy. It's quite pointless.

[Concertoine]

So you would define nintendo as "kiddy"?
The character is never fully nude in the game, THAT would be kind of pointless.

Let me just say i transcended any superficial judgements i had on nintendos games through many hours of adversity. Namely:

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Yes id does,get over it.
Nintendo never was "Kiddy to begin with"

[ELpork]

Platinum =/= Nintendo.

[KonsoruMasuta]

Platinum isn't the one paying to advertise it.

In fact, when Kamiya was asked if Bayonetta was going to get decent advertiments, his response was "Ask Ninty".

[Concertoine]

Lol, like platinum is advertising the game.

It still stands that if Nintendo had a problem with it, they wouldve pulled it and this would be a totally different article.

[Spotie]

Right, because Nintendo was gonna fund this almost-canned game and then not market it to try and make a return...

[torchic]

LOL NO Nintendo is still very much kiddie

btw there's nothing wrong with being a kiddie console.

[Alinea]

nintendo was never kiddie if you knew its padt before video games.

[Starbucks_Fan]

Smart marketing right there

[N4g_null]

Nintendo has been making kiddies every since wii sports at the bar. Seriously only kids think nintendo is kiddy. Great move though. The model has to be 6'10" to look like Bayonetta.

[Angerfist]

Next thing they do is a Mario FPS sponsored by Soldier of Fortune
and Peachs Paradise sponsored by Hustler.

[Tankbusta40]

Playboy is PG these days...they fit with Nintendo...now when Nintendo gets promoted by vivid entertainment...than we have seen a nintendo change

[Metallox]

Playboy is the site that every kid should check, then.

[Tankbusta40]

Why not? We all found the mags as kids lol
