Bayonetta 1 + 2 Nintendo Switch

Bayonetta’s story is utter madness, even trying to explain it will make you sound like a crazy person. All you really need to know is that the absurdity of the story takes you through four dimensions: Paradiso (Heaven), Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (the space between the dimensions where angels, demons and humans can interact) and the human world. Did I forget to mention Bayonetta’s hair not only doubles as her suit, she also uses it to summon Infernal Demons from Hell. That’s also a thing. Throughout the games you’ll get to battle floating cherub angels and demons, oh, and at one point you fight God in space. Yes, that God, the creator of everyone and everything. For years we had to settle with watered down versions of console games on handheld devices, but with the Nintendo Switch, it looks as if those days are finally over. Now we’ve got portable versions of some of the best games that released this generation, and it looks like we are about to receive some of the best games of the last generation. It’s unlikely you missed Bayonetta 1 considering it launched on every major platform in the past nine years. Bayonetta 2 on the other hand only released on the Wii U, which means the average person reading this almost certainly didn’t get a chance to play it. Now that the Bayonetta 2 is about to come out on the Nintendo Switch (alongside the first game), you’ll finally get to see what all of the fuss is about. The Switch version of Bayonetta 1 & 2 also features a few Nintendo-only treats that did not appear in the original versions. Bayonetta now has costumes where she can dress up as Link from the Legend of Zelda, Samus from Metroid, Peach and Daisy from the Super Mario series and Fox from Star Fox. This is a neat little addition to the game that brings some of that Nintendo magic to the Bayonetta series. The only costume worth using out of the lot is the Link costume as it automatically equips the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa which typically costs 200,000 Halos. Bayonetta 2 now allows players to scan up to 32 Amiibo every day, granting access to several in-game items, costumes and Halos. I love this feature as it cuts down on the grinding that you have to do at the beginning of the game, though you do have to own a lot of Amiibo to hit the scan cap. Scanning 32 Amiibo after the first mission will give you enough Halos to purchase every move in the game. It’ll also leave you with plenty of cash to spend on health and magic upgrades.
