I'm HIGHLY disappointed in Platinum for putting Bayonetta 3 only on Nintendo's handheld the Switch!

Still want to play it regardless. Bayonetta 1 is one of my all time favorite games and the sequel is a great action game as well.

WOW!!! Nintendo fanboy attacks! LOL! Like I said! Bayonetta 2 sold next to GARBAGE in JAPAN!!! Google or Bling is your friend! and AGAIN I'm NOT paying for a OVER-PRICED HANDHELD with a OVER-PRICED SD CARD!! Bayonetta 3 will sell as much as Bayonetta 2! ( GARBAGE! ) I'll just go get Code Vein, Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, and Monster Hunter World on the Xbox One X. I'll just forget Bayonetta 3 like I did Bayonetta 2! I'll just pull a Sony fanboy move and WAIT for Nintendo to actually make a GOOD GAMING CONSOLE!!! Remember what Sony said at the start of this gen: 1080p makes you a BETTER GAMER!!! Nintendo don't get a pass from me!

Because it was on the Wii U, a flop console. The difference is Bayonetta 3 is on the Switch, which is selling way better in Japan than the PS4 & X1 combined. For any developers targeting the Japanese market, the Switch is the go-to console.

It's not about what it sold, it's about how it got made in the first place.

uh, Platinum or Kamiya had nothing to do with both DMC3 or 4 and IMO, at the very least, DMC3 is better than Bayonetta. Even if Bayo3 was a multiplat I would be way more excited for DMCV then for Bayo3

@Vatusus: I think it comes down to personal preference for what is the top beat em up in the genre. The go to holy trinity is DMC3, NGB, and Bayo. There are strong arguments for all three of them being best in the genre. My favorite combat system is still NG2 even if the game surrounding the combat is sloppy.

For sure. I love them all but always had a soft spot for the stylish gampeplay of DMC. I love Bayonetta aswell but I have some minor problems with the floaty combat. A DMC3 variety of weapons/combos with DMC4 "on-the-fly" change of styles would be perfect imo and thats why I'm mostly hyped for DMCV... if it does exist that is

Yeah trying to pin down an objective best beat em up is a bit silly (and yes, I used to be that way about it too, but it's really just dumb lol).

There are games/series that are obviously at the top of the genre, but it's a wash from there. Each game does some things better than the others. From there it's strictly a matter of preference.

Personally, it's NG>Bayo>DMC. But if your take is the exact opposite, it's not like you're wrong lol. All of these games are superb in their own way.

And these days I think it's especially petty to in-fight over these games. It's an increasingly niche genre, gotta appreciate anything we get lol.

@ConanTheStoner: Yup. As much as I love this genre, it doesn't sell very well unfortunately.

I bought PS3 for FF13vs so shut your trap

Nintendo knows what's up and decided to support Platinum so they could continue with one of the best hack 'n' slash series. MS and Sony abandoned them, so better suck it up.

@jhcho2: Because! IT SOLD LIKE GARBAGE!!! Nintendo fanboys are SHEEP!
