We'll have to wait and see about that detail, but it seems like they got everything else right so I'm hopefully they'll do right here too. Worth noting that pricing isn't actually discussed in the article, so the talk about Bayonetta 1 being a budget price on the eShop and then giving a discount for that value on the second game might be entirely accurate.
but it sounds like this is the best possible solution so that's fantastic news for gamers! The whole communication debacle about how it was going to be provided was a bit of a mess. In that regard (and as an overall value proposition) this seems like a fantastic gift to Nintendo fans. For me it was more about jumping in halfway through a series, knowing there is no way I'll play the first game.
I understand the concern about not needing more when you aren't sure if you'll enjoy the games, but that's different than my concern. Now that it's cleared up, fans can get back to looking forward to playing the modified Bayonetta and its promising sequel this October.Īs someone who was also "on the fence", getting the first Bayonetta game packed in was a deciding factor for me. It also works in reverse: buy the original Bayonetta digitally and get a free download discount for the sequel.īayonetta 2's inclusion of its predecessor was announced at E3 this year, and Nintendo's wording in regards to the promotion has led to some confusion up to this point. Digital buyers of Bayonetta 2 will get an automatic eShop discount allowing them to download the first game for free. Those who purchase the Wii U-exclusive sequel in packaged form will get a second disc in the box containing the first game. To sum up, retail copies will contain two discs, one with the first Bayonetta and one with the sequel.Ī Nintendo of America representative has cleared up the issue of how the first Bayonetta will be available to those who purchase the upcoming Bayonetta 2, as reported by GoNintendo. Our original report's assessment of how the packaged version will work remains accurate.
Each may be bought independently from the other, though specific pricing for the two games has yet to be confirmed. Those getting the games from the eShop will need to make two separate purchases, but the price of both will equal the total for the retail combo version. UPDATE: We have received word direct from a Nintendo rep regarding this issue, and the information we now have presents a different take on how digital shoppers will go about getting Bayonetta 1 and 2.
