Nintendo has revealed that the original Bayonetta will be receiving a standard physical release on Switch. The company says that there’ll be a “limited number” that will be offered for pre-order “via select retailers” as well as at launch through the My Nintendo Store.

Bayonetta first launched in 2009. It later appeared on Wii U in 2014 and then on Switch in 2018. Bayonetta 2 debuted as a Wii U exclusive in 2014 before making its way to Switch in 2018.

The standalone physical release for Bayonetta 1 on Switch will cost $29.99. It will be available on September 30, 2022.

Nintendo also just announced that Bayonetta 3 will be launching on October 28, 2022. We have the latest details as well as a new trailer here.
