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!

I don't understand why it took so friggin' long.

It better be pornographic.

THIS!

Will wait for email confirmation from Amazon.

I've had this preordered since March of 2012.

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

I guess it's great that they're finally printing it...I have had my pre-order since June 2012 with numerous delay emails LOL.

Oh yeah baby!

Beautiful. Had that pre-order from July, just wondered about whether it was a real thing!

Anyone get a email recently from amazon? Like the past month or so.

December 2013 is now the set release date.

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).

Is this real life?

Aw yiss. My wallet is ready.

But really, glad there seems to be some daylight.

... So do any photos of this thing exist on the internet? Why are you guys so excited?

It came out in Japan. NA release was delayed months due to licensing issues.

Art Book and DVD

From amazon :

A member of an ancient witch clan and possessing powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, Bayonetta faces-off against countless angelic enemies, many reaching epic proportions, in a game of 100% pure, unadulterated, all-out action. The Eyes of Bayonetta collects the stylish artwork behind this cinematic action game, featuring character sketches, CG models, monster, weapon, and location designs, and creator commentary. Also included is an exclusive hour-long DVD interview with the game's creators, taking you behind the scenes of Bayonetta's creation!

Do I need to preorder this from amazon, or can I find it in bookstores?

Well at least this is the first time Udon have put a release date on their site so looks like the wait is finally over. Christ my preorder is over 18 months old!

Now about Dragon's Dogma Design Works...

Thanks for the heads up. :D

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. ~_~
[I'm still have both pre-ordered and am super-excited for both!]

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.

Ever since I've ordered it on AmiAmi it has jumped from late Oct to late Nov to late Dec.

Also had this pre-ordered for over a year.
Feels good to finally have the release coming soon.

I am waiting for both !

What's the difference between this and Eyes of the World?

another update

The Eyes of Bayonetta – Hardcover Artbook!

Day Three: We’re proud to present our first look at the soon-to-be-released THE EYES OF BAYONETTA hardcover art book, with a special Christmas scene! Illustrated by Bayonetta designer Mari Shimazaki, this is a fabulous holiday image! This image appears as pages 210 & 211 of the forthcoming book!

Look for The Eyes of Bayonetta HC in stores later in December… and we should have a firm date to announce very soon!

Wow, that Christmas illustration!

Totally my new WP.

I re-preordered this in July. God damn it's been a long time. I can't believe it's almost here.

I'll probably scan a high res copy of it and use it as my WP.

I'll see your July Pre-order and raise you a March...of 2012 pre-order.

Looking forward to it. How likely would it be that anything Bayonetta 2 related or her appearance in 101 is touched on in the book?

I want dat Christmas outfit in-game.

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.

Hook, told myself no more figures, but I might go for that Bayonetta one...
Then pick up Samus while I'm at it...

I like it because it's really fun to play.

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.
