![]() Bayonetta 3 takes the multiverse concept in an interesting direction, unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.īayonetta has always been a very narrative-driven series, and Bayonetta 3 isn’t any different. The character development, world-building, and outlandish supernatural lore is stronger than ever before, with enough to satisfy the hardcore fans without alienating potential newcomers. Bayonetta now joins the likes of Rick and Morty, Spider-Man No Way Home, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Multiversus, and Everything Everywhere All at Once, to tell an engaging and complex story revolving around the theory that there are infinite parallel universes of our own, and although that’s an oversimplification, I’m sure you get the main idea. In fiction, the concept of the “multiverse” is more popular now than it has ever been. ![]() While it’s unfortunate that the same voice couldn’t be used across the entire trilogy, there’s somewhat of an in-game explanation that makes the situation easier to swallow. It’s worth noting that removing these elements does not take away from the gameplay and storytelling experience, as Bayonetta holds an identity for itself outside of skimpy clothing.īeing on the sidelines of one of the biggest voice acting related controversies since Chris Pratt being cast as Mario (although for entirely different reasons), the Guinness World Record holder for “most prolific video game voice actress,” Jennifer Hale, executes Bayonetta’s personality and sensuality perfectly, with a superb vocal performance that makes her a worthy successor to Hellena Taylor. If raunchyness isn’t your thing however, or if you’re worried about your little ones walking by the TV and seeing something they shouldn’t, fortunately, Bayonetta 3 offers a new “Naive Angel” mode to censor some of the explicit content. Pretty much everything your parents warned you about is present here, from cussing, smoking, sexual innuendos, partial nudity, blood, violence, and religious themes. Hideki Kamiya, the creator of Bayonetta and executive director of Bayonetta 3, has said outright that at the end of the day, it’s Nintendo’s decision, but “if I were you, I’d simply buy a Switch.”īayonetta is the exact opposite of what you would expect from a stereotypically family-friendly company like Nintendo, making it just so damn special and unique. Basically, if you’re hoping to see Bayonetta 3 on other platforms in the future, you’re out of luck. While the first Bayonetta was published by SEGA, since then, their involvement in the franchise has been reduced to merely being the copyright holder, with Nintendo now handling publishing. PlatinumGames is a very valuable asset for Nintendo they are the developers behind games such as The Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2, both of which were former Wii U exclusives and would have never seen the light of day if it wasn’t for direct funding from Nintendo themselves. So much stuff has happened within the gaming industry during those five years, hell, almost an entire console generation has come and gone, and now that Bayonetta 3 is only a few days away (or perhaps already out by the time you’re reading this), that leaves a very important question… Did PlatinumGames make it worth the wait? While the ports saw their release just a couple months later, there was years of radio silence in regards to the threequel. ![]() ![]() Nintendo first teased the existence of Bayonetta 3 way back at The Game Awards 2017, alongside Nintendo Switch ports of the first two entries in the series.
