It appears that Platinum's new Japanese twitter account has tweeted the above images in the famous neon Joycon colors of neon red and blue. Could it be a potential tease for the fan favorite Bayonetta series to release on the Nintendo Switch? With the Bayonetta creator recently announcing that he does indeed have plans for Bayonetta 3 it would make perfect sense for Platinum games to re-release the first two games on the switch so the fans can enjoy the whole trilogy!

Bayonetta 2 was funded by Nintendo, that won't happen.

Maybe they're hoping sales of B1+2 on the Switch will be good and then they'll release B3. Platinum Games, please don't go down that route.

Double post.

Not happening. Get N or get out.

I forgot that Bayonetta 2 existed because it was a Wii U exclusive.

You bastard. I don't like to be that kind of person, but I'll do so anyways, you really missed out, it's a fantastic game in my opinion. Edginess on a Nintendo console is a rather unique treat after all.

Oh, hey, more ports on the Switch

Don't buy it.

In normal circumstances, ports are rather ho-hum, however this has three mitigating factors:
1) The Wii U was not a widely owned console, so many people missed out on its games the first go around.
2) Bayonetta 1 was only available in limited quantities for the Wii U
3) The Switch is not merely the next Nintendo home console, but brings the added utility of being portable. Bayonetta was not available on-the-go in its original form.

Angry Video game nerd adventures is on Wii u and 3ds. Full of mature content.

1) True. Even the sales of Mario kart 8 couldn't sell well cause people didn't buy enough consoles.
2) Umm digital download exist for a reason, and if i remember, it was separate purchase from the complete set for $60, $30 each on eshop.
3) If is $60, I'm not buying it on switch, maybe a discount for $40 or 30, but not $60. I don't pay the same amount for a port if i already own it, it doesn't give enough incentive to get the port. It would have to have plenty more features that wasn't part of the original and meaningful purposes.

The interesting question i have is will Bayonetta 3 have dlc? Somehow they managed to make two games with no DLC at all. Nice job Platinum games.

Fair point about digital, but not everyone buys digital. Especially for the big games.

Yeah, i get that. Is a sketchy situation, but least it gives people a chance to play the game when you can't find a disc copy. Pay $2000 on ebay for a unopened game from 3 years ago, or pay $30 for a digital copy?

It doesn't matter anyway, backups exist for reason. I'm not siding with piracy or anything but archiving games for all to have chance to experience I do support.... (sometimes, at reasonable prices)

That too, I played a bit of that, fuck I forgot I have it on Wii U.

Bought Bayo 1 on Steam (having already played through it on Xbox 360), would be nice to finally be able to play the sequel.

Remember, Bayonette 2 wouldn't even exist if it wasn't Wii U exclusive.

Woaaaah. I have not heard about this! I love this series, a 3rd entry would be awesome! Is Nintendo allowing the game on Steam a distant dream?

 

[urherenow]

heh... another game I actually own (2 games, in fact) but I have never even played it.

 

[donaldgx]

:o nice another N game that i could not play when it released because i could not be bothered o get a U; not that i have a switch though

 

[DaFixer]

Great news, I loved the first Bayonetta (played that bad port on the ps3)
I want to play the second one but I don't want to but a Wii U for only 5 a 6 games.
If this true, it is a must better solution and I really like Platinum Games.
