It's way better than Neirs. Bayonetta is Neir x 100 with more freedom
Fuck man, they really made Bayo 2 $50 standalone?
Christ, guess I'm gonna own a fourth copy of Bayonetta 1.

sorry monster hunter but it looks like you're gonna take a break this coming week, I need to beat the bayonetta series for the eighth time
Please tell me this is NOT some kind of wonderful cosmic coincidence. Too weak
It's a big improvement depth-wise over Automata's. I think Platinum made the right choice by making combat in Nier less complex so as not to take away from the main focus of the game, but they might have gone a little too far... Bayo is a perfectionist's dream, with wonderful depth, secrets, and a high skill ceiling if you want to chase all the Pure Platinum ratings.
It releases on the 17th in Japan. it's around 1:30 am on the 16th right now there.
The reason Nier Automata's combat was boring and trivial was because the game was meant to be an RPG. They didn't want to gate people who aren't competent action gamers and so you can easily out-power or use items/equips/etc to get through anything without much challenge.
The difference between that and Bayo is that Bayo is made solely in the service of its own combat. Enemies and challenges are built directly to take advantage of the combat system and force you to use it correctly, which makes it a much better experience from a purely combat perspective.
Nier gives you the tools a platinum action game generally gives you, but Bayo IS a platinum action game, so you'll surely have an experience closer to Revengeance than Nier
There is not. But the game does have Tag Climax, which lets you play fights with a partner (either another human or CPU), and some of those fights are direct copies of Verses in the main game.
Health recovery is much more limited in Bayonetta (and it punishes your score in the first game).
Additionally, Bayonetta's "combat loop" is a lot closer to what you describe for Revengeance. A typical fight sequence might be Attack -> Dodge -> WITCH TIME! -> Attack -> WICKED WEAVE! -> Air Combo -> WICKED WEAVE!. The combat system gives you "mini-objectives" to aim for that guide your actions and reward player skill (similar to Parrying in Revengeance), whereas the combat in Nier: Automata is much more static and mash-y.
And once you've got the basic combat loop down, you can start supplementing it with techniques like Dodge Offset and Beast Within that let you push the bounds of your creativity.

Anyone know how much it costs to purchase both on the eShop in the UK, shit just says "If you purchase the Nintendo Switch version of Bayonetta from Nintendo eShop, you can get a discount on Bayonetta 2." like what the heck is that supposed to mean? 10p off? £10 off? Why not just say how much it costs for both, idiots,
maybe I'm the idiot!
What's the typical price for a first party release on the UK eShop? Whatever it is, that's how much buying both will come up to.
For instance, on the US eShop, Bayo 2 is $49.99. When I bought it, Bayo 1 dropped to $9.99
Bayonetta (Nintendo, €10.00 / £10.00 for purchasers of Bayonetta 2 on the Nintendo eShop Regular price €29.99 / £24.99)
Bayonetta 2 (Nintendo, €30.00 / £25.00 for purchasers of Bayonetta on the Nintendo eShop Regular price €49.99 / £39.99)
So £49.99 if you buy both.
Thanks, I thought it was going to be £60 for both and I was about to go off on one.
This is absolutely --- ahem.
*takes Rodin's voice*
BEAUTIFUL!
Can't wait to get mine! :D
I too. But it seems like not every version has Bayo 1download code so the product is actually Bayonetta 2 plus one just like on Wii U.
My copy is just sat next to me... can't redeem the Bayo 1 code yet and I want to replay that before playing 2. So I'll try redeeming the code again at around midnight I think.
It does, the reverse of the cover is the classic Bayo 1 box art.

B2 is the best action game ever made. Basically like a new game for me since I'm never going to pick up a Wii U again.
This is amazing.
Can't wait for my Climax Edition to arrive...man, I can't believe how excited I am to buy this game for the fourth time.
The American and European links have Japanese language support, it'd be crazy for Japan to get a separate version that'd remove the English. So you're save to preload :)
Brilliant, thanks everyone! I don't have a Switch (yet) but I guess I'll have to buy the PC version soon :)
This will be my first time finishing Bayonetta, and playing ANY of Bayonetta 2, and I cannot even describe how excited I am for this! I am gonna take my sweet time with both titles and really enjoy my first time through.
Asked for this for my birthday from the Mrs. My Birthday isn't until the 28th - what have I done :(
god I really want that climax edition with both physical copies.....but it's really expensive
but I want it
fuck
but I want it
fuck
same here. i need that bayo 1 cartridge with that steelbook case.
my best buy orders used to arrive a few days early, but that's been happening less frequently :(
After having no luck getting the Climax Edition I am really deflated on picking this up with Bayonetta 1 being digital only.
Probably won't until a sale given that big omission.

That loop is MGR teaching players bad habits to wait for counter-able attacks instead of you know -- actually fighting.
Bayonetta actually allows to play like that... in the beginning. Then training wheels do come off eventually and the game's meta will speed way past MGR's shallow waters.
As happy as I am to have secured my pre-order (assuming my order is fulfilled from Amazon Japan and not cancelled), I feel bad for those that missed out on the Climax Edition. It sucks that there's only (apparently) going to be a single printing too, so the price will only go up. :/
I am beyond excited to play this tonight and spend the weekend with Bayonetta - it is one of my favourite games of all time. And this is coming from someone who played the PS3 version to death.
I preordered the switch a week after that teaser image was posted and was so delighted when the two got announced along with bayo 3 - you could say it is quite a climactic moment for me as a Switch owner.

If you buy physical US isn't Bayo 1 a digital code? Wonder if there will be a bunch of Bayo 1 codes on the cheap for sale online
