Bayonetta 3 has been announced at The Game Awards 2017 and is in development exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. There’s no release date at this stage but it’s great to see the series live on.
Here’s our first little tease:
A pack of the first two games in the series is also coming to the Switch next year on February 16th – something we thought might happen. We expect more info shortly.
The often outspoken Hideki Kamiya from PlatinumGames, yes that’s with no space, has said he wants a remake of Viewtiful Joe or Devil May Cry, a new Okami, or a game where Dante from Devil May Cry and Bayonetta team-up.
There’s one problem with all of this – he needs Capcom’s permission to do so. Speaking with Dengeki PlayStation, Kamiya had this to say:
I want to work on a Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe remake, or a true sequel for Okami. A cooperation with Dante (from Devil May Cry) and Bayonetta might also be fun. Dear Capcom, if it’s okay with someone like me, I will help anytime. Best regards. Everyone, bow down your heads together with me!
A new Viewtiful Joe would be welcome, it’s only been 12 years since the last one, Double Trouble!, hit the humble Nintendo DS after all.
That being said, a team-up with Dante and Bayonetta could be just crazy enough to work. More Okami would be great too. In fact, why not all of them? I wonder if Capcom is listening…
PlatinumGames might be working on Bayonetta 1 and 2 for the Switch. The company have opened up an official Japanese Twitter account and are ‘teasing’ fans.
Takeaways:
It wouldn’t be too much of a surprise to see the games come over to the Nintendo Switch, especially as there are quite a few people who never played the excellent second game in the series – exclusive to the ill-fated Wii U.
