http://platinumgames.com/games/bayonetta-2/Every copy of Bayonetta 2 will come with a special Wii U version of the original Bayonetta! See how amazing Climax Action can feel playing with touch controls on the Wii U GamePad! This exclusive Wii U version will also contain a special set of costumes hand-picked by the original game’s director, Hideki Kamiya himself! From hardcore action fan to complete novice gamer, this Bayonetta is guaranteed to be a thrill ride.
Yep. Added to OP.
And, guys, just to add to the confusion, this is from Platinum Games' Website:
http://platinumgames.com/games/bayonetta-2/
So, it seems, from this excerpt that Bayonetta will be on disk (or in a separate disk) for retail version. But... well...
If it costs money on the eShop you will get DDP points for the retail release code I guess.The free game you get when registering MK8 gives you DDP points.

I don't see how that's confusing. It would still come with a WiiU version of Bayonetta 1 even if it's a download code. You're getting the game.
This. But I doubt it happened 'cause of that.
Nintendo will save money by not having to press double the discs. The disc would probably have enough space for both games but they'd have to mess with the filesystem, menu, the way the drive reads the disc depending on the game... a bunch of engineering which would bloat the cost of what is a nice free bonus. Having said that, I'm sad and really disappointed since initially we were led to assume it was on disc for retail purchases :/
Could they not just do it the same way the collections on Sony systems work? You put in the disc, a selection screen comes up when you start the disc and then the chosen game starts? This would not be much work and no work on the filesystem would be needed either, would it?

Looking at the W101 filesize I personally think both won't fit on a single layer disc and I have a feeling Nintendo are keen not to go dual layer this time (after last gen of using drives tested for DVD5 try to read DVD9 and as a result some fail).
Too bad, the sparse line up and the included Bayo 1 made me consider buying Bayo 2, but if Bayo 1 is just a download, I will not do that.
Really hoping if you buy retail it is on disc. Don't like dealing with digital especially large files.
What a terrible time to be in Europe and be aged 16-18 (I'm not )...will that download code or promo last 2 years? (for those unaware Bayo 2 is PEGI 16 but Bayo 1 is PEGI 18)
If it costs money on the eShop you will get DDP points for the retail release code I guess.
But for eShop buyers. Say it is $15 on the eShop. I imagine it will be like the Super Mario Kart discount* and deduct something from the price you pay on the eShop and thus affect your NNP points. (for buying SMK+MK8 I got the same NNP points as I would have gotten for buying MK8 on its own).
*-In Europe we got the cost of SMK back when purchasing MK8. Problem is most eShops are more expensive than retail here...
When did they say it was only for a limited time?
I really REALLY hope Bayonetta 1 is included on the disc, since I'm going retail.
If it's a download code though, fair enough. I'm just happy we're getting both games.
You're as bad as the people who were swearing off the game over no digital for both yesterday.
Bayonetta is not exactly my genre, so I'm only considering it because there are not too many games announced for me at the end of the year. If I play the second, I also want to play the first one, though. Getting both games for 60 makes it a good deal and I will probably buy it then. If I only get the second game (and download codes don't have any value to me) then the game is not worth 60 for me. Call that bad as much as you want, 60 for only the second game in the series in a genre I find OK but not great, is not worth it for me.
Do we know if this is a limited promotion? I don't plan on getting a wii u till the new Zelda comes out.
The UK website for Wii U mentions a special edition for Bayonetta 2. And it says "Please note: the special edition is rated PEGI 18 as it includes Bayonetta.".
Not 100% confirmation but it's a good possibility that it is just for the SE copies (at least in EU).
I find it odd that you are so averse to the download code. Your prerogative though.
To me it doesn't matter I am going digital. More money goes directly to the source, I get to vote with my wallet more, and no disks I just play from the quick start menu. Oh and that digital deluxe bonus is wonderful

Nintendo's "locked to the console" approach for digital is a valid reason for some to be wary of Nintendo digital games.

This has nothing to do with that. I'm fine with digital games being locked to a console, because as long as the console gets supported, if my console breaks, Nintendo will transfer the games anyway. But, if it breaks after all support for the system has ended, I will lose access to all my downloaded games, whereas, if they are physical copies, I can just buy a new system (used) and play all my physical copies on the new system. This is the biggest reason I abhore download games and do want any of my games to be download games.
Someone from Platinum just needs to clear this out.
I really, really wanna know if it'll be on a disc or not.
Don't get me wrong, I'll buy it anyway...but man, I really want it to be on disc, by principles.

if you're gonna buy it anyway then what does it matter?
I agree completely. I would like to have one of my favorite games ever available physically.
They did on that instagram and Facebook post
"Bayonetta 2 Director Yusuke Hashimoto and Producer Akiko Kuroda answer your questions on Facebook!
The original version of Bayonetta will be available via a digital download on eShop when you purchase Bayonetta 2 (either a box version or digital copy of the game)."
Since he says this is the case regardless of which version of Bayo 2, that states that Bayo 1 will be a DD only format. Otherwise why specify DD for both versions if the physical copy will be offered with a physical copy of Bayo 1.
