Gameplay of the game from Gamexplain at PAX. Only problem is the gameplay is pretty bad lol. It's 2 minutes of walking around, 1 minute of fighting, and 4 minutes of spending time in the menu.

At least you can hear that they fixed the worst song in the game to be less annoying.

edit: ign gameplay with a competent player also showing off the co op mode.

Someone at PAX West, PLEASE try the game and tell me how you do this and what it's like!

Super hyped for the apparent coop mode? thematically, it's perfect for the game, since two screens aren't an option.

seeing this small snippet of gameplay I'm guessing the solo play is more like the mobile version and the co op play is more like the DS version which kind of makes me want to play it "co op" but by myself.

If that's the case, then I plan to do that as well. Co-op by myself.

I'm looking forward to this so much. Never finished the DS version back in the day. Idk why, i think i got at least a third of the way through.

Should be a good game for me to play between kiwami 2 and red dead.

Man I really needed to see gameplay from this to decide whether or not to stop my current DS playthrough and wait for this version. But I watched that and still have no idea.

I just want to know if it retains the "two fights at once" mechanic even without having two screens. It can be single-screen as long as they still make it feel the same as the combat in the DS version. If not then I'll just stick with the DS.

Echoing that I'll gladly do co-op by myself if it means I can play it closer to the DS version. That would be so hype.

The DS version is still perfect, allowing for stylus controls is still a huge advantage that this HD port is unable to provide.

Also, I spent half of that video going "is this a remix, or is it just SIGNIFICANTLY higher quality than the ds original" lol
Despite the person playing it (... or not), this looks TWEWY though. So I'm happy so far.

there was a gameplay video of bayonetta where it was like the person playing was playing a video game for the first time, this one was slightly less frustrating.

I know not everyone has intuition for video games. But this is comically bad.

Does Gamexplain just pull vids from other people at expo's? Or is it their recordings? Because the Dark Souls Switch gameplay a week ago was also really hard to watch.

Looks nice, at least. They talked about extra content on this version?

Yep, that's TWEWY alright. Still not seeing anything that makes a triple-dip seem worth it. And gyro pointer control during heated battles sounds awful.

it's unknown if that is everything that is new. Never makes mention of the new girl so idk.

- a whole new extra scenario, we don't know the length, but many assume it'll be fairly long
- three new songs, plus remastered versions of old songs
- three (iirc) new pins
i think that's it

have they said only 3 new songs? or is it just 3 known?

I never played the original and this looks great to me. How are the writing and characters? Typical JRPG fare?

the characters make the game. There is quite a bit of "teen angst" in their characters but they are all pretty good. The villains are fantastic and have very distinct personalities and quirks.

I'd say the "teen angst" mostly fades away within the first third of the game.

i think most people fell in love with the game because of the characters.
i'm a little scared tho, that i loved the game when i was a teenager, but replaying it 10 years later it's gonna feel different and not as good

i thought i read three new songs somewhere, but i can't find it

Yeeeeaaaah. I think I'm going to wait this out.

Never picked up this game, but I'm sort of wait-and-see on the Switch version. If people who have played the original say the Switch version has solid controls, I might pick it up.

If fans of the original claim the Switch version controls are noticeably worse than in the DS version, though, I might get the original release instead.

Still bummed this is 50 bucks. I haven't paid this much when the game released 11 (!) years ago.

You weren't kidding, I struggle to imagine how they could have shown less in that 7 minute span. Seems like Sushi Striker where it's in that weird position of being absolutely better in portable mode than docked.

The Dark Souls footage was shot by Daan and it was his first time with the game and series.

This looks like a serious compromise, I wouldn't even hesitate and continue with the DS version.

What a strange video.

I'm sure the PAX conditions weren't the best, but they were playing like they had 1 hand or something. And then leaving the video on menu screens doing nothing for far too long.

That was very weird.
