Bayonetta

Like Famitsu, 4Gamer published a massive interview with nearly 150 Japanese developers as they reflect topics such as the past year, what lies ahead for 2015, and more.

Bayonetta 2 producer Akiko Kuroda was one of the people 4Gamer included in its article. Kuroda confirmed that she’s hard at work on a new project, and also seemed to tease the development of something related to Bayonetta in 2015.

Here are Kuroda’s full words:

“I have started working on the next project, but it looks like the announcement will come later. In any case, I think that it would be nice if something Bayonetta-related was also developed in 2015, so please pay attention to the continuation of Bayonetta!”

Bayonetta 2 director Hashimoto Yusuke also mentioned a new project. However, he was less specific with his words.

One of the Wii U’s most anticipated games of the year is almost upon us and some cool extra content is starting to surface for Bayonetta 2, this time in the form of concept art. We’ve embedded some of the art below, but be sure to check out the full range here

At this point it was practically a sure thing, but the North American Bayonetta 2 site – which is now fully open by the way – officially confirms that Bayonetta 1 will come on a separate disc. You can find the disc art for both games above.

Like we mentioned last week, Bayonetta’s distribution on the eShop will be a bit different. You’ll first need to purchase Bayonetta 2 for $50, and then the original game for $10.

It seems that we now have a definitive answer on how Nintendo is handling the distribution of Bayonetta 1 when purchasing Bayonetta 2 on the eShop.

Bayonetta 2 will cost $49.99 at launch – $10 less than originally expected. However, this is because you’ll need to make a separate purchase for the original Bayonetta, which appears to be priced at $9.99. Buying both games brings the total to $59.98.

So when all is said and done, you’re still essentially getting Bayonetta 1 for free. Nintendo is just going about things in a bit of a strange manner! I suppose if the first Bayonetta doesn’t interest you, then you’ll be able to save $10.
