Bayonetta 2 Joins the Cosplaying Parade of Nintendo Costumes

In other words she's a sexy character, rather than a sex object. The latter is what people are complaining about mostly.

Along with Hyrule Warriors this just keeps looking like loads of relatively light-hearted, self-aware fun in a Triple-A sea of grimdark (w)angst. Nintendo picking up the ball?

It's more like there's a difference between a sex SYMBOL and a sex OBJECT. Symbol: empowering and liberating. Object: demeaning and exploitative. Some of my favorites of the former are characters like Samus Aran, Morrigan Aensland, Aya Brea, and Lenneth Valkyrie. The only one who really has sexuality flaunted is Morrigan (though she is a succubus, so it comes with the territory) and the latter two exude sex appeal without feeling exploited.

Must play bayonetta, must play bayonetta, must play bayonetta....FUUUUUCK why is it not fucking oktober yet september sucks and everyone hates it anway so why the hell does it exist!

Ok sorry I just had to get it out of my system. I very much look forward to this game as it does look very promising.

You have Hyrule Warriors to play during that waiting period from mid September

On Topic:

I guess it was expected that something like this was going to pop up.
I don't really care if the costumes are there or not, the one that suits her best is the Chinese Dress costume, so maybe they should've gone with just 2 or 3 "original" costumes in stead? The Nintendo costumes look a bit... forced...

Other than that, really waiting for the game!

I can't believe anyone hasn't said this yet:

If she's wearing the Fox costume and she doesn't get constant annoying messages from the Fox team to "Do a barrel roll!" it just would be a huge disappointment.

So basically Nintendo has done just about everything that they can to solve Bayonetta going to a single platform game right? I mean giving you the first game, new Nintendo themed costumes with special abilities, what else could they do?

Let it come out on a real platform?

Just saying. It looks nice, I LOVED the first one, but I'm not getting a wiiu for one game.

Anyone even going along this line of thought loses all relevance. The Wii U is a "real" console. Please define for me what a "real platform" consists of. I'm oh so interested in learning the definition of a "real platform". Do educate me. And no I'm not saying this as a Nintendo fanboy. I'm saying this because I'm genuinely pissed off that people even think like this. I'm not going to get nor do I care for the Xbox ONE but I'm not calling it a fake platform or some nonsense like that.

Also there is a crap tone of other very interesting games coming out for the Wii U. More so than the other two systems honestly.

"A real platform" Pfff, I hate this idea. It's not any less of a gaming platform than any other.

OT: Fuck yes, I like it~ Damn, I need to play this... The first was incredible!

The sad thing is, none of those costumes fit her very well at all. ._.

What if one of those costumes was the Zero Suit, for example?

OT: Still lack a Wii U[footnote]Come on, [possible] Smash Bros. Wii U bundle![/footnote], but I'm still buying this game regardless... I mean, it's like Catherine all over again for me...
