Haven't we had 678 of these exact same threads already? Get over it.


Thats underestimating :P

Will buy it refurbished.



Leave talking my avatar.



I will buy it, partly because I am, for now anyway, kind of a fanboy, partly because I like the pretty pictures that I have seen. I doubt I have the dexterity to play this game. Seeing with what ease they played it with only the gamepads touchscreen on the Nintendo Treehouse event makes mevthink it maybe will be a pleasent control method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAHup4CXF9E You can see touch control in detail around 12 minutes in.



Let it go and let us worry about B2. Bayonetta 2 is a hot exclusive for Wii U owners. It don't have to make sense.  My preorder is paid for in full.  Either get N our look forward to anything of Sony offerings.

Forum polls don't really matter much in the long run so I have no idea how well the game will do, though hopefully Nintendo will try to push it so we don't have another TW101 situation. I'll be buying it, I missed out on Bayo 1 last gen, so this is the best time to jump in since both games are included.



I'm getting it because they've ported and included the first game (for free!) with the purchase of Bayonetta 2.



Upcoming Games To Get

Definite: Kirby Star Allies (Switch), Mario Tennis Aces (Switch), Fire Emblem (Switch), Yoshi (Switch), Pokemon (Switch), Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4), Monster Hunter World (PS4)

Considering: Fe (Switch), Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Switch), The World Ends With You (Switch), Ys VIII (Switch), Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (PS4), Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Remix (PS4), The Last Guardian (PS4), Shadow of the Colossus HD (PS4), Anthem (PS4), Shenmue 3 (PS4), WiLD (PS4)

I'm not getting it (not interested at all), but this game compares more to Zombi U than TW101. And that sold 700k already, and it was a launch title. I do believe it will sell very well. Maybe 1 million.
Since Bayo1+2 is what you actually get, they pretty much opened the audience to everyone with a Wii U. And if the Wii U keeps momentum, and good marketing from Nintendo (which, sadly, we don't know for sure if that'll happen), this will be a guaranteed success.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

500k lifetime I suspect. Actually, I'll get it so make that 500,001...

Quick query and forgive my ignorance kind Nintendoists but who the heck will buy this game? You have a sequel whose predecessor was released on two different platforms, and whose current audience comprises mainly of Nintendo fantasts (early adopters who only buy Nintendo first party titles) who most likely never played the first one. 

Is this the worst third-party acquisition of all time? Sure sounds like it. 


To bad Square Enix was failing hard on PS1 because all of the previous games were on SNES right?

And btw.
People dont only buy first party games if that would be the case Wii Music would be a hit etc. It has to be a good game with enough marketing and actual effort put into it. Missing game features or 25fps etc is a joke. If the game is good and has enough  marketing ti will be bought at least to some extend. Also  japanese games do better than western games for the most part because of all the crap that was made by western studios and how they treat Nintendo customers.  Nintendo customers are pretty unforgiving/vindictive towards studios that deliver subpar experiences/burn them.
 If a Nintendo game is crap like Yoshis New Island people wont buy it as simple as that. I mean Kid Icarus can be considered a new franchise because 80% or so dont even remember the first games and yet it sold twice as much as the new Yoshi game even tho everyone knows Yoshi. Word of mouth FTW!

I for example do not buy a single western game anymore unless its a first party game on Sony / MS or Nintendo systems and unless it gets at least 85% on metacritic. Also I wait for discounts.
Third party is usually not worth the 60 when the next game is out in less than 12 months. Thats why I buy all my third party games on steam for 5€ each on steam sales. My consoles are purely first/second party or third party exclusive (but only discounted third party games are bought)
