Bayonetta 3 to include Naive Angel Mode
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
PlatinumGames has revealed more information about Bayonetta 3, and we now have word that the game will include a Naive Angel Mode.
Bayonetta has always been a mature series. But with this new feature, PlatinumGames says “more people can fully enjoy it” and “you can play right in the living room without having to worry about what’s on screen.” When the option is on, characters will show a little less skin as they’ll be more covered up. It goes without saying, but this is completely optional.

PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya talks Bayonetta 3 Switch exclusivity
Posted on 2 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.

Bayonetta 3 will seemingly launch in 2022. That’s according to Nintendo’s website, which lists the release window.
Bayonetta 3 was first announced for Switch at The Game Awards at the very end of 2017. The initial reveal did not have any sort of release window attached to it. Nintendo has also not provided any updates on the project since the initial announcement.
The listing for Bayonetta 3 on Nintendo’s website links to a page on the company’s blog that cannot be accessed at this time. It’s possible that we’ll be seeing the game during today’s Nintendo Direct, and the page will go live after the presentation.

We’re quickly closing in on the four year anniversary of Bayonetta 3’s announcement. The game was announced at The Game Awards 2017, but we haven’t seen it since. While PlatinumGames has regularly assured fans of the project’s continued development, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about its status.
Nintendo did at least provide a brief update this week. In an interview with GameSpot, Nintendo Treehouse’s Nate Bihldorff said that Bayonetta 3 “still exists.” Bill Trinen of Nintendo Treehouse added, “I will even go one further and say not only does it exist, but it’s progressing well.”
Trinen also said:

Xbox expected Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 and more to release in 2020
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Switch | 0 comments
A number of high-profile Switch games currently lack release dates. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, and Shin Megami Tensei V are all on the horizon, but there’s no word on when they’ll be available.
There’s an interesting bit of news concerning these titles stemming from the Epic vs. Apple trial. An internal document from Xbox surfaced today, which contains a rough outline of “high-profile” Xbox One releases for the Q3 and Q4 2020 period in addition to Microsoft’s expectations of notable releases from other companies. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, and Shin Megami Tensei V are all here, with Microsoft believing as of last August that they could have launched between October and December.
