Bayonetta 2 Demo Is Now Available On Wii U eShop

Written by Brandon Hofer on October 09, 2014

News: Sega and Nintendo have released a demo for Bayonetta 2 on the eShop along with revealing you can get the digital version at a discount.

Bayonetta 2 is coming to the Wii U later this month but earlier today Nintendo released a demo on the Wii U eShop. In Bayonetta 2 you can initiate the new Umbran Climax technique to temporarily summon demons and boost Bayonetta’s attack range whenever you fill her magic gauge. Fight with new over-the-top weapons that open new possibilities to the way you battle, including the Kafka, a bow that shoots poisonous arrows; the Rakshasa, a pair of beautiful katana blades; and a giant rifle-inspired scythe known as the Chernobog.

Every chapter ends with a medal ranking: Stone, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Pure Platinum. The more skilled you are, the higher your ranking. This game is approachable for players of all levels, with settings of three difficulty levels. Through Touch Play, you can play with the GamePad’s stylus and touch screen, regardless of which difficulty you choose.

Bayonetta 2 is currently slated to be released on October 24. When you buy Bayonetta 2 you will also get the original Bayonetta for free. Also, if you buy Bayonetta 2 on the Wii U eShop you will get it for $49.99 as opposed to the $59.99 you will pay for the physical version in stores. Will you download the demo? Will you pick up Bayonetta 2 later this month? Tell us what you think below.
