I'll believe it when I see it.

I have literally received 25+ emails from Amazon since early 2012 when I first pre-ordered this thing.

The release has been pushed back more than 10 times!

Licensing issues. It was in limbo for a while for some reason.

Finally. Though as mentioned in another thread, I was pretty disappointed by the Japanese release of this due to really small pictures. The UK hardcover strategy guide was better about this, at least as far as character designs went.

Still interested to see the DVD w/ English subtitles (assuming that's still coming with it).

This book has been delayed as much as the figure has [its original release date was January 2013 and has been pushed back several times with a supposed December 2013 release].



It's rough being a Bayonetta fan sometimes. ~_~

You can find it in book stores but I don't know how easy it would be to find. online order is probably your best bet.

Why does it seem like she is missing her right forearm ? It looks like there is a hole in her jacket where her arm would come out.

Arm of Bayonetta

Do people actually like this game that much? I just don't understand the fan fare for it and the hype around the sequel and so on.

So explain it to me like I'm five, why do you think Bayonetta is so good? (Remember you are talking to someone who stopped playing after the first level-ish)

its a action game that is on the level of DMC3/DMC4.

Simple as that. A combo, fast paced competent action game.

She does look amazing, although you might want to pre-order her soon. She's sold out numerous times over the past several months with orders opening up again temporarily after her delay. She might be difficult to track down after release if you don't pre-order her.

As for the Samus figure you're talking about, I assume that's Zero Suit Samus [Max Factory]? She's another incredible figure, I really like the way she turned out. Shining Wizard [sculptor] does some great work.

I like Bayonetta because the gameplay mechanics and controls are insanely competent and I really enjoy the music,style and offbeat characters.
