Bayonetta 2 update out now (version 1.2.0), patch notes
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new version 1.2.0 update has gone out for Bayonetta 2 on Switch. This is the second patch for the game in about two months, which is quite interesting given how the title has been around on Nintendo’s current platform since the start of 2018.
Version 1.2.0 is a follow up of sorts to the update from the end of September, which added in support for new languages. It appears that a single correction has been made for Chinese (Tradition), and there are fixes in all languages for “errors in the text of an event scene at the start of the game.”

PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya talks Bayonetta 3 Switch exclusivity
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya has commented on the Switch exclusivity surrounding Bayonetta 3.
Bayonetta 2 is only available on Switch (and previously Wii U). Similarly, Bayonetta 3 will only be playable on the console. Both of these titles are published by Nintendo.
In traditional Kamiya fashion, he toys with fan expectations and responds sardonically. He starts off almost encouraging the idea of Bayonetta 2 and 3 on other platforms, only to quickly dash those hopes with logic and a sarcastic “good luck”. It’s safe to say that chances of these games appearing on PlayStation or Xbox consoles are slim to nil right now.

Update (9/11): As expected, Nintendo has confirmed that the same date applies to North America. No reason has been provided for Bayonetta 1 and 2’s removal.

Notices have been provided officially in Europe and Japan, and while there isn’t any news specifically for North America just yet, it’s expected to have an effect stateside as well.
If you own Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Wii U currently, there won’t be any issues going forward. Both titles can still be re-downloaded after the de-listing goes live.
Those who are interested in Bayonetta 1 and 2 will still be able to purchase the games on the Switch eShop.

The exceptions with video capture for Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Switch, practice mode tip
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Bayonetta 1 and 2 are the latest big games for Switch with video capture enabled on day one. Thanks to the feature, you can record 30-second gameplay clips.
There are just a couple of exceptions. When the songs “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Moon River” are playing, video capture is disabled. However, if you turn off the background music during these segments, the functionality can be used. There’s likely an issue with copyrights pertaining to these two songs.
By the way, in both Bayonetta 1 and 2, you can practice combos when the game is loading. By pressing the minus button once loading is finished, you can keep going in practice mode.
