Bayonetta 2 busts some caps on Wii U this October, will include original Bayonetta

By

During the company’s E3 digital event, Nintendo revealed that Bayonetta 2, the Wii U-exclusive follow-up to 2010’s Bayonetta, will be released this October.

In addition to the narrowed release window, Nintendo also announced that the Platinum Games-developed game will include the original Bayonetta. The first game in the series was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Nintendo will also include several console-exclusive costumes, giving players the ability to dress Bayonetta up like Princess Peach, Link, or Samus Aran.

Bayonetta will also have the ability to pull off her signature hair-based attacks with Nintendo-themed variations.

However, the video shown wasn't a trailer or gameplay reveal, according to Tameem Antoniades, the chief creative ninja at Ninja Theory. Instead, it was a "montage of the kind of work we've been up to."
