Bayonetta: "Don't tell me you're done already?"

Nintendo.... I see you.

Me too. XD
 
It's awesome to see an overall great character like Bayonetta join the big leagues and be in the company of such huge characters like Mario, Link, Sonic, Pac-Man and so on!

Can't believe I forgot about Greatest Jubilee that was such a great song.

We must petition Nintendo for a Bayonetta music DLC pack.

I can't believe Bayonetta went from being a sales disaster with a good soundtrack to a Nintendo staple.

And Nier is getting a sequel with amazing production values.

What a time to be alive.

This year has been absolutely incredible for games. All of the naysayers who claim gaming went to pot after the Super Nintendo or PS2 or whatever can get stuffed.

This year we got:

An E3 of legend, with three impossible announcements (FF7, Shenmue 3, The Last Guardian)
A new Halo that fixed all the big issues I personally had with Halo 4
Platinum reviving childhood classics and cult classics alike (Transformers, TMNT, Nier)
Akuma in Tekken 7, and he's canon???
Cloud in Smash, what in the world
BAYONETTA IN SMASH BY POPULAR DEMAND WHAT THE HOLY FUCK IS HAPPENING

Despite Konami's best efforts to shart all over our dreams, 2015 has been incredible.

It's crazy to think that a few years ago the Bayonetta IP was as good as dead, after the rumors that Sega canceled the sequel and shifted their focus away from console games. Now, we have the sequel, Bayonetta is in friggin' Smash Bros and a mass produced Bayo figurine is in production. And maybe there's even a chance of a third game. It's kind of surreal. I'm so happy. Thank you Nintendo for saving this awesome franchise and character.

Anything can happen nowadays in videogames, the floodgates are open.

Just feel like shedding a tear, don't it? :')
 
Was there an amiibo announcement? Please tell me there was an amiibo announcement. This thread is too long and crazy now for me to read all of it. I HAVE 3 HOURS OF MEETINGS AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

Wait WAT a Bayonetta Amiibo?
 
WOW WHAT ITS HAPPENING MY DICK JUST GOT INSTANTLY ROCK HARD
 
So Bayonetta is now truly an honorary Nintendo character.

I don't know where Bayonetta fans were thinking the franchise was going to go (other than six feet under the ground) back in the day, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't the average expectation. Sometimes holding out hope pays off, though. And look at her now.

New main, btw.
 
Between the Virtua Fighter Mii costumes and Bayonetta's Jeanne costume (Jeanne inspired by Virtua Fighter Jean) Nintendo sure does make a Sega Virtua Fighter addict like me go crazy.
 
Bayo 2 sales are going to see a nice bump. (And by extension, Bayo 1 sales since the definitive edition of the first game is included for free!)

Doomed to obscurity like Okami and Viewtiful Joe was my guess. I'm so glad it didn't work out that way.

Maximilian made his Bayonetta reaction video.

Much like the Cloud video, it's pretty amazing and he instantly recognizes Bayonetta upon the voice.

Thanks for this. I love Max's reactions.
 
And some of us thought we were voting for nothing.

I was wrong.

And I'm very happy because I was wrong.

I gave up playing Smash more than a half year ago. It's time to replay it, with the Umbra Witch!!
 
Guys, you know this Direct is a sham. Bayonetta isn't in. Just look:

It's just Bayonetta over Little Mac's model. Nice try guys.

It's a absolute dream come true for sure. Even playing the shoddy PS3 version Bayonetta very quickly turned into one of my favorites of all time, an absolute masterpiece. Bayonetta 3 on NX means I'm there day one, no question. Gotta give my queen all the support I can.
 
THE SHADOW REMAINS CAST.

Can't wait to try her out. One of a Kind has been my PM Final Destination music forever.

That stage is going to be so dope for tourney play as well.
 
Well she made up for the lack of Wolf. I like that she is more covered in this game when she is summoning lol. Looks like a blast to play as, so I definitely look into checking her out.

A somber reminder that dreams can come true. 2015 has been a crazy year for video games.

I was waiting for this <3
 
this may just be the greatest thing ever to happen in all of videogames, no in all of everything ever. just throwing money at the screen already. what a time to be alive.
 
Not even a fan of this character but she looked bad ass. She stood out enough that I don't even mind her taking King K Rool's, Wart's and King Hippo's rightful spot.
 
I was actually afraid it was going to be more Kid Icarus shit with that voice over and focus on Pit. Thank goodness it was someone off the wall.
 
I have to say, it looks like they did a great job fitting her into Smash while retaining her style. She looks really fun to play. Still a bit too risqué for a family title IMO, but I guess Nintendo feels comfortable enough with it.
