Bayonetta is Joining Super Smash Bros


Bayonetta has been confirmed for Super Smash Bros.

In an announcement today, Nintendo revealed that Bayonetta will be the final DLC character making her way to Super Smash Bros. It was also revealed that Bayonetta was the "overall number one choice worldwide" in the Smash poll, as well as the number one choice in Europe and in the top five in the United States.

Bayonetta will have two costumes: One with her original appearance in Bayonetta and one with her shorter hairstyle from Bayonetta 2. Her fight style is combo-oriented, with many multi-hit moves. The umbra witch also has four guns - one for each limb.

Bayonetta will be available for $5.99 on either Wii U or the 3DS, or as a bundle on both consoles for $6.99. Along with Bayonetta, Nintendo will be adding the Umbra Clock Tower level.

Bayonetta does not have a firm release date yet, but the developers are aiming for a February 2016 release.

This news just made my day. Bayonetta gets more recognition she deserves and Nintendo seemed to have actually valued EUROPE's opinion! That's new! I can also totally see her interacting with Pit.

The reaction of fans annoy me a great deal. I get the anger about Corrin but what's so bad about Bayonetta? People are even voicing doubts she did well on the ballet. I'm finding it petty and more than a little ungrateful.

I'm surprised Nintendo did this considering how E/T Smash is. Does this mean we can have Travis Touchdown?

Europe confirmed to have good taste. I was hoping she would get in since Bayonetta 2 was announced to be Wii U exclusive.

Eh, some people are disappointed that their pick didn't get in. Fair enough. I'm disappointed that Banjo and Kazooie didn't get in, but I'll live.

Corrin, though...really? Another FE character? Really?

Aside from Bayonetta... doing her usual thing, there's also the fact she uses actual guns to fight. The reason why Snake didn't use guns and stuck to explosions in Brawl was because guns would look too violent.

Also, WHAT?!

Yes please! They'd have to get an okay from Suda51 and he wouldn't be able to swear or create geysers of blood with every swing, but other than that it could potentially work. Maybe he could use his bike for his Final Smash.

C'mon, Sakurai. All I wanted out of Smash was Lamar from GTA V. Was that really too much to ask?

P.S. Thanks

This is awesome. I'm just hoping that a Bayonetta amiibo gets made at some point. I'm hoping for one with her outfit from Bayonetta 2 but I'd settle for her original outfit. Still holding out hoping for my genie Shantae.
They confirmed in the Smash Direct that a Bayonetta amiibo will be out eventually, but they didn't announce a release date. I'm guessing it will be sometime next year.

And sadly, they also said Bayonetta is the last new fighter for the game.

While I don't have a WiiU (yet anyway), the addition of Bayonetta to Smash is a pleasant (and frankly, completely expected) surprise. I mean, I'd wager Bayo 2 sold like hotcakes for the WiiU, so adding Bayonetta to Smash 4 is a no-brainer from Nintendo's perspective.

Awesome! My vote mattered!

Other than that, I guess they were saving the best for last... and we almost kept her waiting...

So, is she still going to do the thing where here hair suit thing comes off to a large scale attack?

I was hoping for Shantae, but I'm okay with this. I guess the floodgates really are open with the likes of Bayonetta and Cloud on the roster.

EDIT: Completely missed the mention of no more characters. I has a sad now.

Oh, isn't that just adorable. That turnaround was so fast it gave me whiplash. Guess they saw which way the wind was blowing for that particular debate.

Huh, I guess you two must've missed Leigh Alexander's comments about Bayonetta, from October last year:

Welp, guess now Yahtzee has to review it. He has been commenting on Bayonetta never going to be in Smash, and now that she is, I think he might have to face it and review it.
