'Bayonetta 2' Release Date, Gameplay & Trailer: Wii U Game Gets New Costumes; Online Co-op Revealed

By Carl Ian| Sep 08, 2014

In a world where fierce is the fad and fashion means fighting, there is one game to satisfy your desires.

"Bayonetta", a witch-cult, action-adventure gam,e takes on another sequel of blood-gushing combat. Nintendo Life commented that the two-year hiatus from the announcement to "Bayonetta 2"'s actual release is time well-spent. 

The Guardian described the character as a powerful witch who fights angels, shoots with gun-heeled shoes, and changes her hair into creatures that destroy her enemies. Superficially charming and sexually provocative, Bayonetta is not your ordinary heroine. She possesses complete autonomy over her body and femininity.

"Bayonetta"'s costumes are not just flaunting, because each type functions for her advantage. The Pink skirt adopts the Princes Peach outfit, and is used to collect golden coins. The green hat makes her resemble Link from Zelda. Coming from the Metroid series, Samus Aran's outfit is another wearable option.

Always Nintendo said that the witch is receiving the Daisy costume and a Fox McCloud outfit as additions to her set of battle gears.

In addition to the new costume, an online-only co-op mode is also added. This means other characters are now playable, through Tag Climax. Rodin, the demonic shopkeeper in the first installment, is among them.

One major difference between the two Bayonettas is that the first version works only for a single player. "Bayonetta 2" adopts a two-player mode.

In a report by Christian Today, Hisayoshi Kijima of the game's UI (User Interface) division mentions another contrast in terms of damage notifications. In the first version, one's vitality gauge turns red if he has taken the damage. The second version, however, becomes more interactive as a flash of red light hits the gauge when the damage is taken.

IGN also pointed out another difference between the two "Bayonetta" versions. The first version introduced guns, swords, weaves, and portals, while the second version composes upgraded combat which makes use of weapons and abilities that ultimately destroy Bayonetta's enemies. 

Released in 2010, the original "Bayonetta" sported countless angelic enemies, unadulterated all-out action, balletic finishing moves, theme park of exciting attractions, and much that truly defines feminine strength. "If you came looking for a fight, 'Bayonetta 2' seems happy to oblige your desires with an out-of-this-world take on the character action genre", IGN described the title.

"Bayonetta 2" is exclusively for Ninteno Wii U and out on October 24 in the U.S. The game can be pre-ordered here.
