by Anoop Gantayat

Summary:
Earlier in the week, we passed along a Tweet from Bayonetta producer Yusuke Hashimoto indicating that Bayonetta news was on the way for some time this week. The news has since been revealed. [link=http://ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1110624p1.html]Read Full Article[/link]

ok dont mess with us. I just bought this for $30 a week ago, so by budget do they most likely mean "$40"? only in japan anyway. damn it this couldn't have been lamer. bayonetta themed stickers would have been better than this. then again it was wayyy to early to expect a bayo 2 announcement though smart money says they are certainly hard at work on that title.

ed. ok yen converter says it's about 46 dollars, but no telling what the non budget title cost. I like that cover (the one that lists the price) better than the original cover, (I mean the picture and not the layout.) but I dont care for that manga style. It doesn't seem to match the mood of bayonetta at all, or resemble her very much even.

How about instead of covers and packaging a better surprise would be making the PS3 version of Bayonetta on par with the 360's? The PS3 version is just unplayable.

@guy shafor- yeah since its the japan only edition id guess so, but a more standard manga style is all I was asking for, this looks more like comics from india.

yeah i played this first a few months ago on ps3 and more recently on xbox, and while the ps3 version is playable, the difference in performance is a big deal, just look at the clock tower scene on ps3, it should work better than that. the game is really designed to the strengths of xbox architecture and the port was probably lazy.

How about a downloadable version?? it'll probably kill a lot of the poor load times for the PS3 version.

Aww. I had hoped that we'd get Bayonetta 2, where the PS3 was the lead platform. :( Platinum better make that their next project.

for all the praise and good reviews, it seems like this game bombed and fell of the map, guess that's why they are repackaging it

Bayonetta news was never big news. You guys just tried to blow it up. It didn't work. Darksiders didn't get nearly as much love from you guys but the rest of us bought it anyways. Mostly because sparkles and J-pop are super queer.

Haha - BigBacon is spot on! :D

Anyway, this IS stupid, but it is actually cool to see a budget cover is reversible to get rid of that stupid "Budget branding" that no one likes. However, they really should've announced that this re-release has been re-optimized for PS3, as that's one of the most embarrassing port jobs in recent history - SEGA should be ashamed of a game with load times that bad, and they should've used this opportunity to clean that sh*t up.

Wow, hand-drawn cover art is ALWAYS BETTER than CG. If only every game featured fine art like this, especially in the west. BAYONETTA is a perfect art masterpiece in every way, Kamiya-san's magnum opus. VANQUISH will bring everything to a new level. October can't come soon enough...

My brother absolutely adored this game. It tops out as THE BEST game with a combat mechanic. Anyone who is/was a fan of Devil May Cry needs this game in their collection.

It got cheaper? Thats all :/ Im glad it got platinum hits and its a great seller, because than that means it was well received by gamers thus might increase the chances for dlc or a sequel. I was hoping for better news though. I completed the game already, plus I prefer the original artwork better. Original art= deadly & beautiful badass with the moon behind her [hinting at the her being a witch aspect]. New art= A cutesy model.....and lots of pink.

Considering the PS3 version got gimped, I'd like to play the game but not pay full price. So I may be interested if it comes to the States.

This is probably good news for people who has never bought the game and is considering buying it, other than that, this news pretty much sucks.

Anybody who thinks this game is meh doesn't know good gaming.

Period.

Same goes for Darksiders. Not much originality, but it more than does justice to it's inspirations.

but... bayonetta 2... *sigh*

such a great game, if it doesn't get a sequel I'll die. I thought ninja gaiden was great until I played bayonetta, all other action games are piss to me now. I can never go back.

Actually, the new pink boxart is quite nice...certainly better than the awkwardly-perspectived original boxart, in my opinion.
