Bayonetta 2 director draws new art as Switch speculation ensues

PlatinumGames has opened a brand new Twitter account for its Japanese fans. To celebrate, Yusuke Hashimoto drew new Bayonetta art.

Do the double pack but on Switch in 1080p 60 👍

[rivaldoo777]

This makes switch much more appealing. NS is becoming a beast!

[LOL_WUT]

How? As a Switch owner there's only a small selection of titles to choose from ;)

[rivaldoo777]

@lol
If you have a Ps4 as primary
And Switch as a secondary
Than it will be solved wouldn't it?

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Bayonetta 2 on Switch or Bayonetta 3 ?

[RosweeSon]

The whole trilogy with a bit of luck.

[badz149]

Bayo2 I think. just like how Nintendo are bringing Wii U ports to the Switch, Bayo2 would be a given by now. I doubt they are working on Bayo3 just yet.

[TekoIie]

Shantae for Switch was teased in the exact same way using red and blue.

Great news if it's Bayo2 for Switch because that game is easily in my top 5 Wii U games so it'll be a blast to play through again.

[RosweeSon]

I never got round to starting mine got the first print edition may just hold out and grab again on switch ;) loved first one even if it handed my ass to me on a plate.

[TekoIie]

At the very least give the first level a go (I think it's in the online demo too). It has 2 incredible boss fights in it that are some of the most memorable I've played.

[Asuka]

would love to pick up the games on Switch as i never got a chance to play either.

[DaFeelz]

For the love of God! PLEASE!!!!

[corroios]

This game deserve a next gen machine.

[yeahright2]

Don't know why you're getting disagrees. The overwhelming majority of people that have played this game (part 2) that I've come across adore it. It's an awesome title and one of the reasons I bought a Wii U. The more exposure this game gets the better. I'd love to see this franchise go from life support to a smash success.

[prankster101]

Word... I didn't like Bayo 1, but Bayo 2 was indeed awesome, and is definitely one of the very best games on the Wii U.

[Neonridr]

he isn't saying that to compliment the Switch. He is saying that this title needs to be on XB1 or PS4 not a Nintendo machine. If you have followed corroios at all on here you would know that this person has a loathing for all things Nintendo.

[bluefox755]

Because fanboys. To them, it's more important that they have a game to themselves than it is to have the franchise be a big success.

[fenome]

I've only played the first one, but it was a blast. It was one of my wife's favorite games last gen. We skipped out on the Wii U so we never played the second one.

I'm​ still not really interested in the Switch as a console but my mind could easily be changed. Zelda looks really good and I missed out on Xenoblade Chronicles and other games too, so if it keeps getting crazy support I might consider picking one up next year just to try it out. Especially once they've got their virtual console all figured out.

[yeahright2]

@neon, oh I see. Well sucks to be him. He's missing out on some great games because of fanboyism.

@fenome Yeah, I personally have a rule that I need to see 5 games that interest me before I buy a system and Switch is getting there. Xenoblade, that xcom Mario, Metroid. I just need a couple more.

[prankster101]

You mean proper next gen machines like the PS4 and XB1? Not that half-arsed "hybrid" that is the Wii U in disguise, right?

[NotoriousWhiz]

No, he means PS5 and XB2. Since PS4 and Xb1 are current gen.

[Neonridr]

this thing is what.. wallet sized compared to the XB1/PS4.. yet surprisingly can pump out decent enough visuals. Hell this thing is tiny compared to a Wii U and can run circles around it.

[gangsta_red]

Let's hope it's a new Bayonetta game for Switch.

[MrSec84]

Hopefully there will be ports of 1 & 2 to tie people over until the 3rd is ready, plus the sales generated from those ports will likely be greater than the Wii U versions, funding Bayonetta 3, with profits left over for more Platinum Games titles for Switch.

[SR388]

Switch exclusive bayo 3 with bayo 1&2 bundle

[DaFeelz]

Now you're talking!

[SR388]

Yah! I'd buy it that fast haha

[WhiteyFox]

Since Reggie said Switch will be getting more Wii U titles, I'd say this is very likely to happen.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Every Wii U exclusive should come to the Switch. And while they're at it, they can fix the awful star fox controls.

[MrSec84]

Definitely!!
The resources and time required for porting games over, optimizing for better performance, improving controls where required and adding additional content is very light compared to making new games.

There's no reason to not do it, considering it wouldn't really delay new games coming, plus the profits generated could likely pay for a bunch of new games.
You only have to look at the sales of something like Mario Kart 8 to realize how much of a worthwhile thing this is for Nintendo to do. Sales of these games could double or triple those of Wii U's versions.

[deafdani]

The problem with Star Fox wasn't the motion controls, it was the focus on 2 screen gameplay, which had a very steep learning curve for a lot of people.

If they ever ported it to Switch (very unlikely given its sales), the 2 screen focus would be reworked because the Switch isn't a 2-screen machine.

[Shinox]

Obviously a Nintendo exclusive thing which is disappointing

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Red & Blue Joycons is gonna be a great way to tease Switch games.

[Istolla]

I bet you don't complain about exclusives on other consoles.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

I wouldn't because I had Bayonetta on X360. Didn't buy it on Wii U. I just bought Bayonetta 2 on the Wii U.

Plus Bayonetta 2 is Nintendo only. They funded it. So it can only be on Switch.

[MrSec84]

Hopefully versions of Bayonetta 1 & 2 running at 1080p 60FPS in docked mode will make their way over either this year or early 2018, with a 3rd game in the series coming late 2018 or sometime in 2019.
Sign me up for a Switch version of Wonderful 101 as well.

Port every cool Wii U exclusive over, the sales will help Nintendo fund even more new games for Switch.

[shaenoide]

Bayonetta remake of course

[fungusar]

I hope it is bayo 2 because i sold mine for the Wii U

[BenjaMan64]

Please! Plenty of people didn't get a Wii U, but got (Me, for example) or will get a Switch!

Bayonetta must have another chance to bewitch audiences!

[Officialxandr]

Favorite video game character. Excited for a port and a sequel.

[WPX]

Totally double-dipped!!!

[KaoSouL]

Still never gonna play it unless it comes out on PC or a real gaming console where the primary user base has pubic hair.

[DaFeelz]

Bayonetta 1 did come out on pc. So go play it

[TheColbertinator]

Bayo 2 for Switch. And Steam later :)

[sk8ofmnd]

This game would be lucky to break 800k... As every game in the series sold like piss. Best of luck dude

[MrMagz]

For the record Bayonetta 2 sold over 1 million units on the Wii U, one of the worst selling consoles of all time. Considering Bayonetta's inclusion in Smash Bros, making her more recognizable to a broader audience, I could see a Bayonetta 2 port or Bayonetta 3 selling at least 1-1.5 million on the much more successful Switch.

[sk8ofmnd]

With as much as you guys praise bayonetta it should have sold more with the wiiu's install base and im willing to bet if b3 was multiplatform it wouldnt see nearly as much love.

[conanlifts]

Yes Bayonetta 2 would be a very welcome addition.

[DivineAssault]

I hope a new Bayonetta is on the way.. Otherwise he's on full troll mode.. Hell, put 1 & 2 on a single cart as a separate purchase.. I wouldnt mind a few wii u ports so i can put mine in the bedroom to free space for another console..

[FinalomegaS]
