In Tokyo last night, Sega quietly announced plans for a "simultaneous worldwide release for Fall 2009" of action/hair manipulation game Bayonetta. New screens revealed at the event show the game's heroine battling enemies on the side of a building, unleashing her guillotine on another and fighting a really, really shiny dragon. Would we expect any less from Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya?
As the press event held in Tokyo was, as you might expect, all in Japanese, we've reached out to Sega of America for confirmation of the worldwide-ness of this announcement. Call us skeptical, but we expect the next time we hear about the game won't be until E3.

Someone need to draw an manga in which Sarah Palin saves Alaska from angry moose with her magical flute. You can call it the Palin Piper of Fairbanks...
Or, maybe I should stop drinking before noon?

The quiet before the storm friendo. There's plenty of time before the Fall to remind everybody when this will arrive.

The last Bayonetta thread on Joystiq had nearly 100 comments. Not bad for a weekend thread.
Don't worry too much guys. Nothing will stop this game from coming out, and unless it does really bad, Kamiya will make another game.

Japanese games are all looking the same to me these days.
Come on guys, you need to EVOLVE, and not......er... revolve.
Then again, they probably see *all* western games as space marines shooting each other in the face.
