Bayonetta 1 and 2 debuted on Switch today. Aside from the Japanese Non-Stop Climax Edition, the only way to obtain the first game is through a digital code.

Unfortunately, some customers are having issues redeeming Bayonetta 1 on the eShop. The issue seems to be present if the code begins with “URPH”.

Right now the primary way to address the situation is by calling Nintendo’s customer service. They should be able to provide assistance and offer a code that actually works. The new code given should start with something like “B1”.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Bayonetta 3 was only just announced in December, and likely won’t be releasing for quite some time. Still, that doesn’t mean PlatinumGames lacks interest in continuing the franchise in the future.

Over on Twitter, original Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya said that he has ideas for a fourth Bayonetta. Though the comment alone doesn’t guarantee another entry in the franchise, the interest is definitely there. It’s also encouraging that Platinum would know how to continue to the series following Bayonetta 3.

Hideki Kamiya on Bayonetta and Nintendo’s involvement, Bayonetta 3

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

In a series of messages posted on Twitter, PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya spoke about Bayonetta and Nintendo’s involvement. He was a director on the first game, contributed to the second title, and may have some involvement with the third entry.

Kamiya recalled how, originally, Bayonetta 2 was considered for multiple platforms when it was in development as part of a collaboration with SEGA. However, the game was put on hold because of “circumstances” at the company. After Nintendo stepped in, PlatinumGames was able to finish development, and the rights are with the Big N and SEGA. Nintendo actually allowed the Japanese voice track created for the Wii U version of Bayonetta to be included in the PC version.
