Bayonetta 2 re-releasing as standalone game this February

Originally released in 2014, Bayonetta 2 will be re-released as a standalone game to coincide with Bayonetta's inclusion in Super Smash Bros.

[KimikoGaming]

Glad I got the original release that comes with both games

[Neonridr]

absolutely, I missed out on the first game, so getting both together was a wicked bonus.

[Philface]

That's true. But you get the game for 30$ now. BTW great game.

[Cindy-rella]

Great game with wasted potential by not being on xbox one and ps4. It wouldnt have been too bad if it was a success on only the wii u but it is a failure saleswise. This game needs to be on xbox one, pc and ps4

[Neonridr]

@Cindy-rella - considering how many copies it sold on only the Wii U vs how many copies Bayonetta 1 sold on the 360 and PS3, I would say it did quite well.

[DivineAssault]

Yup! Even if i didnt have a wii u, i wouldve bout the game & bought the system later..

[callahan09]

Was the original release a single disc with both games on 1 disc, or 2 discs (1 for each game), or was the first game included as a digital copy with a code in the box??? (Trying to decide if I want to buy the new release next month or seek out the original release)

[Concertoine]

The original release came with both games on separate discs (In the US). In Europe i believe only the special edition had Bay 1, but it also came in its own box.

[jcnba28]

Great for those who missed it - the game is fantastic.

[contradictory]

3rd party game for Wii U that's actually AWESOME?!?!
how unorthodox! ..seriously a great sequel. Was a bit odded out that it's a Wii U exclusive but it did everything i hoped from a sequel so i'm just glad it got made

( before you say it i know Nintendo had a hand in making this game a reality in the first place)

[AizenSosuke]

Fantastic, I can't wait!

[higgins78]

On a side note - Bayonetta 2 is NEVER coming to either Microsoft and/or Sony console, both now or future...mark my words.

[DigitalRaptor]

Ummmmm... why are you saying this as though we need to mark your words?

This has been obvious for well over 12 months.

[higgins78]

Don't know about "obvious". To you perhaps. Just wanted to make the point - as to underline another stellar exclusive in Nintendo's locker.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

not obvious enough to some LOL or should I say many LOL

[Skate-AK]

And SF5 is only going to a Sony console. Not Nintendo or Xbone. Sunset Overdrive is only on Xbone and will never come to PS4 or NX. Its not a big deal, every console has its great exclusives.

[hatsume-miku]

I think he was saying that because everytime there is a bayo2 article people came claiming it should come to PS4/X1.

[higgins78]

Yes, SF5 looks to be another excellent game in a great series...but since I own SF4 Ultra for my VERY modestly specced PC - which runs flawlessly at 60fps - I think I wont be missing too much, even if it is admittedly a miss for the Wii U.

Sunset Overdrive!? The XB1 has some good exclusives, and you choose to use Sunset Overdrive as your best example...

[GordonKnight]

That's the reason my TV has all three hooked up to it!!!

The power of three consoles makes third party games almost seem irrelevant.

[Skate-AK]

Sunset Overdrive is actally a good example you just don't realise it. I wasn't using it as example for quality. Insomniac usually made Sony games but all the sudden made a Xbox exclusive. Plaitnum usually made mutiplat but all the sudden decided to do a Wii U exclusive. I know they did Wonderful 101 but I am talking AAA games.

[GordonKnight]

Didn't Sony and Microsoft snub platinum games with financial support for bayonetta 2. The game wouldn't exist, but Nintendo stepped in and backed it.

[WickedLester]

And based on its sales, nobody gives a shit.

[deathtok]

Publishers aren't in the habit of re-releasing games that sold poorly.

[Kalebninja]

it sold a million and considering that the Wii U itself only sold 12 million and is a mostly casual platform it sold really well.

[Kombatologist]

Why even point this out? It seems like you're just trying to flamebait.

[TheColbertinator]

Awesome. Glad Ninty is doing another printing. Good game,lost in hatred and jealousy

[Gwiz]

*SMH*

Combine sales of the PS3 and Xbox 360 first game.
This game was never going to be a success on one system.

[browngamer41]

SMH- so I guess it shouldn't have been made then huh? You pretty much just made TheColbernator's point..

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

got to remember it sold 700K to a userbase of 12m vs combined user of 160m of the first game that sold 2m.

That terrible.

[Gwiz]

I'm not implying it shouldn't have been made lol,it did poorly because it did lacking on a larger userbase.Jealousy and hatred had nothing to do with it.

[contradictory]

i'm just sitting quietly in the corner everytime exclusivity comes up and people stalwartly defend it for no real reason other than adding artificial value to a console... can't we just have a mostly shared game library ( yeah, i'm not expecting 1st party Nintendo games on X1 or PS4 obviously ) and NOT argue about it?

[rjason12]

And you can still get the first one on the eshop for 20-30 bucks I forget which though.

[Ck1x]

I'm wondering if they have some dlc they've been working on

[ZeekQuattro]

Smart move. Explains why the original combo pack is rare too. Glad I preordered mine after playing the Bayo 2 demo.

[MaxCompiler]

Amiibo bundle alert!!

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Nah Amiibo development of her just started like two month ago.
It won't be available til like Summer or later.

[DigitalRaptor]

Great decision.

[Fullmetalevolust]

I wish I had bought it initially, big mistake on my part. It is so hard to find both copies for a decent price and I can't shell out $100.
Ninty to re-release both or continue production on the original bundle.

[Metallox]

Go get and get it while you can, guys, maybe even if you don't own the console. It could be the last print easily.

[DivineAssault]

I bought this game day 1 & it was worth every penny.. Both games & part 2 was so damn good! The controls were super responsive on the pro.. At least newcomers have another chance to buy this awesome game physically..

[Emme]

Got it today for 15€ new and sealed. Cant wait to play it.
