It also works in reverse: buy the original Bayonetta digitally and get a free download discount for the sequel.īayonetta 2's inclusion of its predecessor was announced at E3 this year, and Nintendo's wording in regards to the promotion has led to some confusion up to this point.
Digital buyers of Bayonetta 2 will get an automatic eShop discount allowing them to download the first game for free. Those who purchase the Wii U-exclusive sequel in packaged form will get a second disc in the box containing the first game. To sum up, retail copies will contain two discs, one with the first Bayonetta and one with the sequel.Ī Nintendo of America representative has cleared up the issue of how the first Bayonetta will be available to those who purchase the upcoming Bayonetta 2, as reported by GoNintendo. Our original report's assessment of how the packaged version will work remains accurate. Each may be bought independently from the other, though specific pricing for the two games has yet to be confirmed.
Those getting the games from the eShop will need to make two separate purchases, but the price of both will equal the total for the retail combo version. The Secret of Mana re-release for PlayStation 4 landed down in 24th place, while Monster Energy Supercross swerved to 25th.UPDATE: We have received word direct from a Nintendo rep regarding this issue, and the information we now have presents a different take on how digital shoppers will go about getting Bayonetta 1 and 2. Other new entries in the chart included Kingdom Come Deliverance, in at second place behind FIFA 18, and Dynasty Warriors 9 in 13th place. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Bayonetta series' biggest physical launch to date remains the original Bayonetta's 2010 arrival for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, in the prime of both console's life. Bayonetta 2's physical edition still requires you to download Bayonetta 1 (you only get a download code). It's likely a higher percentage of Switch sales came via downloads, which UK numbers company Chart-Track does not track.
Perhaps there was not enough new in the port to convince Bayonetta fans it was worth double dipping so soon? Digital Foundry last week examined whether this new Switch edition was the definitive version. The Platinum-developed Bayonetta 2 (which includes a copy of Bayo 1) landed fifth in the UK chart - the game's highest chart placing to date, albeit one achieved with fewer physical sales. Bayonetta 2 sold fewer physical copies at launch for Nintendo Switch this week than it did when it arrived on Wii U.
