The port to Nintendo consoles adds Nintendo themed costumes and touch controls. Wreak havoc as the foxy witch Bayonetta. Bayonetta is a butt-kicking, havoc-wreaking witch, and she’ll shoot, whip, slice, and burn angels as she uncovers the truth about her own past. Her weapons and moves are all stylishly over-the-top, but she can also dodge attacks to slow down time, and inflict Torture Attacks on her enemies. This is the prequel to the Bayonetta 2 game, and it’s every bit as sassy, destructive, and epic as you’d expect. Bayonetta is the fashionable and foxy unholy offspring of an Umbra Witch and a Lumen Sage, and she’s lost her memory after being asleep at the bottom of a lake for 500 years. Use Wicked Weaves to summon Infernal Demons, dodge enemies’ dangerous attacks to slow down time, and punish angels with deadly devices. You can even dress Bayonetta up in four Nintendo-themed costumes—Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Link, and Samus Aran.

Critics RecommendBayonetta is an Umbra Witch who was awakened twenty years ago from the bottom of a lake with no memory of her past. She possesses one half of a pair of powerful jewels known as the Eyes of the World, and when her informant Enzo brings word that the missing other half may lie in the distant city of Vigrid, she sets out to claim it. Able to move between Paradiso and the human world of Chaos, Bayonetta cuts down the many angels sent to destroy her. Along the way she crosses paths with a mysterious witch named Jeanne, who seems bound to her forgotten history, and a young man named Luka who blames her for his father's death. As she hunts for the Right Eye, fragments of her lost past slowly begin to surface.
