Nintendo hosted a Nintendo Direct this morning that went into detail for the upcoming Bayonetta 2. If you have yet to see it, you can watch it below.



Nintendo announced the release date for the game here in Australia, October 25th is when local gamers will get their hands on the Umbran witch. The game will be available in stores for $79.95 and in the package you will receive both Bayonetta 1 and 2. Should you want to buy it digitally, the game will retail for $69.95 and Bayonetta 1 will be sold for $49.95, but if you purchase both, the second title will be discounted so you pay the same $79.95 for both, the same as at retail.



Nintendo also announced for the first time that the cosplay costumes available in the Wii U remake of Bayonetta will also be available in Bayonetta 2. These include Bayonetta’s wild takes on Princess Peach, Link and Samus, and exclusive to Bayonetta 2, a surprise star mercenary is also featured in her wardrobe in an outfit reminiscent of Fox McCloud, the hero of the Star Fox games.

Furthermore, the Nintendo Direct revealed Rodin as a playable character in Tag Climax, Bayonetta 2’s new online co-op multiplayer mode, and showed off the first footage of multiplayer action.


The Nintendo Direct also provided more details about previously announced features of Bayonetta 2, including characters, storyline, combat mechanics, weapons, magic, Bayonetta’s trademark Torture Attacks and the new Umbran Climax. Viewers learned about Muspelheim challenge rooms, how the ranking system works, and how to spend their hard-fought Halos to buy items and skills, or modify weapons. It’s a must-watch for anyone who wants to be ready to take down their opponents in style.
