![]() ![]() The Bayonetta games are far from subtle, but honestly, that's a large part of their charm. ![]() "The Bayonetta games bring a refreshing (and much-needed) pair of adult-oriented fun to the Switch."īoth games follow the exploits of the titular Bayonetta, a gun-toting Umbran Witch who is put in-between facing the forces of Heaven and Hell in increasingly outrageous battles that continually ups the ante after each encounter. Despite each title being several years old at this point, the Bayonetta games represent some of the best action in their genre, and bring a refreshing (and much-needed) pair of adult-oriented fun to the Switch and showing it isn't entirely a system confined to more PG-rated fare. Suffice it to say, I was pretty excited at the fact that the Nintendo Switch would be getting both games ported over, especially as someone that missed out on the incredibly-received Bayonetta 2 ( which we gave one of our rare 10.0 scores when it first debuted). While the Switch has been defined in the past year by some exceptional games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, don't let the fact that these titles are ports steer you away from playing them. While Bayonetta has been available on several platforms ( even getting a release on PC last year) for a while now, Bayonetta 2 was sadly confined to the now-defunct Wii U, making it a far less accessible game to a vast number of players, until now. I originally played the first game on Xbox 360 back when it released in 2010, but missed out on Bayonetta 2 entirely due to not having a Wii U to call my own (for better or worse, depending on how you look at it). With the recent release of Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 on Nintendo Switch, I luckily got the best of both worlds for experiencing these titles from the perspective of old and new. Whether you're coming to both games for the first time or looking for the chance to relive Bayonetta's odyssey on-the-go, the re-released pair of action games are truly worth playing, regardless of whether you've ever played them before: even better is the fact that their release is perfectly timed with the news that Bayonetta 3 is also on the horizon for the Switch at some point. If that didn't sell you on what to expect from playing one of the Bayonetta games, then you can take in the fact that the series is a high mark for character action games within the last decade, and Nintendo Switch owners now have the chance to experience both games in one place. Compared to the likes of Dante or Kratos, Bayonetta is a much different kind of action game hero entirely - namely, one that has four pistols mounted to her hands and feet, and summons gigantic hair demons to do a good amount of her bidding when it comes to defeating (and punishing) baddies. Action games are a dime a dozen nowadays, but Bayonetta has always stood out. ![]()
