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.

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.
