The series’ creator, Hideki Kamiya, of Devil May Cry fame, set out to make Bayonetta all about sexiness. Nintendo’s Switch making them great games to play when you are on the go. Let me tell you right now, both Bayonetta 2 and its predecessor are awesome to play. Using guns, style, hair and aplomb players get to tear through the games bashing buttons like they are going out of fashion and experiencing a storyline that makes very little sense. The first game introduced us to the rather saucy protagonist and an epic battle between the Umbra Witches and the Lumen Sages, with Bayonetta being one of the former. Now Switch owners get the chance to enjoy Bayonetta 2, one of the most action-packed hack-and-slash games around, as well as the original Bayonetta. Perhaps symbolising a change of direction for Nintendo. Introducing the gun heeled, angel-killing, provocatively-dressed witch, Bayonetta, to an audience more at home with the adventures of jolly plumbers and talking mushroom people was an interesting turn. The action-adventure button-masher did not seem to be an immediate fit alongside Nintendo’s usual, more family-friendly fayre. The partnership between Bayonetta developer, Platinum Games, and Nintendo for Bayonetta 2’s Wii U platform exclusive surprised me. Button-masher and former Wii U exclusive, Bayonetta 2, is now out for the Nintendo Switch, with boxed copies also including a download code for the first game as well.
