Allisa James from DualShockers reviews Bayonetta 2 for Wii U, developed by Platinum Games and published by Nintendo.

Does the sultry witch still have her magic touch? You can look (but don't touch) this review to find out.

Another ten! More and more it's looking like GOTY.

[ajames347]

I'll definitely be rooting for it :D

[ZeekQuattro]

Well damn. Reviews have showered this game with praise now I hope gamers reward the game with sales.

I don't think anyone who has played a Wii U can deny it's a great system. The only issue is it's half a gen behind in specs, and it's not gunning for the "center of the room entertainment device" so it gets passed off. But I tell you what, I love my PS4 and it's the new hotness just as I really enjoyed all previous PSs and Xboxs, etc. However I play my Wii U a lot and it has great games. I am really looking forward to the next Yoshi game being a huge fan of Kirby's Epic Yarn and LBP.

I do hope that Wii U owners get this game. Smaller sales plus most casual consumers seem a little sad for it, but I think we can do a couple million easily. I want to see this have more than a couple games in the series.

Slightly disagree, I think the Wii U is a great centre of room entertainment device. Someone can watch TV while you continue your game on the game pad.
It's like Remote Play, except it works.

@NBT91, I love my wii u but idk, I cant go a couple rooms down and keep playing like I can with remote play on my Vita.

i had a Wiiu and its a horrible system....

the specs are low and the controller isnt suitable for todays core games you have to invest in a pro controller.

i bought a Wiimote so that we could play coop in NSMB but guess what it just doesnt work, you have to further purchase another Wiimote just to play 2 players its a joke. that was was on the reasons i jacked it in.

i only had the 8gb white but all that storage was taken up with an update, i dont see why i should further have to buy more storage, i tried it didnt like it the console isnt for me

the only redeeming factor was ZombiU its one of the best gamesive ive ever played

[darkstar18]

Oh look ANOTHER pefect score. Funny how the most underrated console has all the best games huh? LOL

[Inzo]

All the best games? LOL!

[persona4chie]

I CAN'T WAIT!

[IQUITN4G]

For me this fully justifies a WiiU purchase. You get the first incredible game included too which is the greatest bonus. Simply the best game of it's type as anyone that has played it long enough to know will tell you. Wasn't about to get a WiiU until Zelda released but this makes it just too hard to resist

The first thing you realize with Bayonetta is that everything you first thought about it is wrong. Initially hated my time on it and almost sold it after about a couple of hours. Just seemed like totally over the top nonsense and a game that frankly didn't do anything special. Couldn't have been more wrong and I'm just glad kept with it. Not especially keen on this genre but Bayonetta is like freedom and fun in a way you won't have experienced. Again though it's not something you'll pick up on straight away until perhaps your second play through, by which point if you have, then you won't want to stop. Bayonetta's don't happen in this industry very often and I'm just glad I didn't go by my first woeful impressions

Another Pure Platinum Review

[TheWackyMan]

Where's Jeanne?

[bayonetta]

?!?!? Jeanne...I'm on my way. Just behave yourself for a bit longer.

[g-nome]

The highest rated game ever that will be played by the least amount of people.

[Darkfist]

now lets see how it sells

[martinezjesus1993]

Its a real shame not alot of people are gonna be buying. I personally will be buying it, not this year but next year for sure during the little game drought in the summer. Before you attack me, I was either Smash or this for me guys, I have the ps4, xbox one, wii u, vita, and PC to support so its a little hard to squeeze this one in this year. I only have so much money to spend. Looking forward to it though.

[firmstandinglaw]

I'm too broke to pay rent, but I'm buying this game tomorrow.

[N4g_null]

This and smash are going to be incredibly crazy this holiday. You just can't beat getting two games and all the content that comes with smash!

I'm really glad a demo came out. This games sells it self. I think platinum should expand the roster a little more to get other people with different character designs. Retro has to step their game up.
