Yes i feel your pain bro but ill wait until it gets a price cut!

I got myself a job to start paying for it so yeah.

I don't like character action games like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta.

I already got mine primarily for Bayonetta 2 about a year ago. The Wonderful 101, Rayman, Super Mario 3D World and Sonic (Yeah, I know how it turned out.) really helped that decision though.

Nope, I got a WiiU as soon as I could because it's a video game system.
A video game system made by Nintendo
Because I've had just about every Nintendo system since the NES and I probably always will.
Because I must.
*head hangs low*
: )

No. If and when I do end up buying a Wii U I'll totally play this game, but I don't know when that day will come.

There were a couple of games but Bayonetta was basically the main reason I bought a Wii U. Also the Tiger Direct had a good deal about a month ago so the timing was perfect.

No, but I might buy a Bayonetta 2 for my WiiU.

I voted yes, I already bought one explicitly for bayonetta 2. I played some mario kart and it was fun, but really its a $200 bayonetta box

Bayonetta more than anything is pushing me towards a wii u

Bought a Wii U a couple of weeks ago specifically for Bayonetta 2. Getting to play Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros., and all the Wii games I missed last generation are really nice bonuses, though!

Anyone played the demo with both the pro controller and gamepad? Seems a pro controller would be much better for this game....

I'll probably be buying a Wii U on Boxing Day with this and Super Mario 3D World. Already have W101.

I should be able to find a bundle with a game I want (preferably 3D World or Wind Waker HD) for ~150.

I already have a Wii U, so none of these poll options really fit me. I guess Yes is the closest since I bought one knowing one of the games I wanted to play was Bayonetta 2?

Anyone know if the version of Bayonetta 1 that comes with the special edition is better than the version on 360.

The thing is, we have plenty of good Wii U games by now. This doesn't have to be the only reason anymore, but it's certainly a hell of a reason.

I wouldn't recommend buying a system for one game. That being said, the Wii U doesn't JUST have Bayonetta. The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong Country, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World - for me, that's enough to redeem a purchase. I got one last year, mostly because of 3D World and because I wanted to spend some money after cancelling my PS4 preorder because it didn't have enough interesting games at launch. Waiting a bit for a price cut wouldn't be the worst of ideas, but I don't see the price dropping below 200 for the black SKU anytime soon. Maybe in a year...and a half? Not sure, but the thing is worth $300 if you don't care whether the good games are Nintendo games or not, they're still good games. I do understand not being interested in NSMBU though. I have yet to buy that thing.

Already have a Wii U and a PS4, so I'm set!

It's half the reason I bought one last year (the other being SMT x FE, whenever that comes out).

Let's just say that when I do buy a Wii U, this will be one of the first purchases for it.

No. If Nintendo ports the game to the PC, I'll play it then. If not, there are plenty of other developers and publishers that support the PC. They will be getting my money and not Nintendo.

That console was a day one buy for me! Never regretted it.

I might be buying Bayonetta 2 if I get enough money for it, as all the raving reviews got me intrigued enough to want to look past the game's exaggerated eroticism, which always turned me off from the franchise. I just don't get why it's there, it seems exploitative and distasteful. Maybe I'm wrong - after this critical response, I actually want to find out.

I bought the Wii U for Smash Bros. but will probably pick this up to extend my library. Also I quite enjoy a lot of Nintendo's games.

Definitely. It'll have to wait a few paychecks, but yeah.

I already have a Wii U, but it was purchased at launch mostly for this and any other Zelda games.

Already did..Wonderful 101 just happened to make it easier.

fifty percent??

Damn.

It's on the list of games making me buy a Wii U. Not the game though.

Despite owning a Wii U I don't think there is a game out for it that would entice me enough to buy the system. I really like my Wii U and should start buying more games for it, including Bayonetta 2, but I don't see a single game system seller like we used to have for most platforms.

That said the Wii U does have an advantage. Having been out longer it should have a bigger, and presumably cheaper, catalog of games to buy. Not to mention a larger used game inventory. So really at the lower cost the Wii U is probably the easiest way to quickly get into the next step of gaming.

If Nintendo can keep up with games like Mario Kart and Smash alongside the Bayonetta 2s of the world, they could easily carve out a little niche and become the 2nd console choice. Having unique game experiences people want to play is a bigger seller than Netflix, cable access, or anything else imo.

already bought one, and just bought a pro controller for it too.

I am seeking a Wii U now, but it's for this and 8 other games.

I bought one for MK8, Mario 3d and the Wind Waker Remake, also looking forward for captain Toad. IMO Wii-U has the best exclusives this year.

@asilentprotagonist said:

I've done gamepad, touch controls, and pro controller, and I'd say pro controller felt the best, but all of them feel pretty viable.

Bayonetta 1 comes with every version of the game, and I think performance is on par with the 360 (I can't imagine it performing worse) but it has the additional Nintendo costumes (Peach, Daisy, Link, and Samus).

Yeah I'm going to be picking one up for Bayonetta. I'm trying to find a white one so it matches my PS4 though.

Considering Nintendo's console is region locked and not even released in Korea, nope. It would cost me upwards of $500 to get a WiiU and Bayonetta 2 in English here. Fuck Nintendo, get with the 21st century already!

I already have a Wii U, and I'm getting this game day 1.

The reasons for buying a Wii U are mounting up but I think I'll wait for that inevitable Zelda 2015/2016 bundle when it'll be about £150 (and then half a year later a Wii U revision and/or Wii U2 (with added Bono and The Edge)).

I did, and found the glory of Tropical Freeze along the way before the Bayonetta demo hit.

Purchase justified!

Already have one, but the demo totally sold me on buying Bayo 2.

Not according to Amazon.

No, however when or if I get a WiiU I'll most definitely get Bayonetta 2.

Maybe. When the Wii-U gets another price drop.

Bought it two days ago, and already finished it :)

Between this and w101, Platinum are making it really difficult for me not to get one. Damn shame about that Korra game.

If you buy a Wii U for this game, you'll be surprised at how there are actually other great games you can get for the system. SSB is coming up, Mario Kart 8, 3D World, DKC Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Zelda is next year, Xenoblade is next year, Wind Waker HD, Hyrule Warriors.

I've considered it but I barely have time to play the games I want to play on systems I already own right now. Maybe some day, though.

recently ive been into some monster hunter for the 3ds, first time ever playing a MH game, and im loving it, so its really making me want a Wii U, for the cross save for the game and games like bayonetta, there really is just a ton of good stuff coming out for the wii U. i actually want one more then a ps4 or xbone

i would consider buying a system for just one game... but not this one. i didn't enjoy the first one at all.

If you haven't already, get the wonderful 101. Criminally underrated game.

I got a Wii U last Christmas as a gift and Bayonetta 2 was the primary reason I wanted one, so I guess sorta?
