Bayonetta gearing up to hair-kick demons in Fall 2009
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.

Is this a young Sarah Palin?
MariusElijah (Only on PlayStation 3) @ Apr 14th 2009 1:12PM
I dont see dead wolves next to her so no
Rob @ Apr 14th 2009 1:47PM
Sarah Palin is sucked into another dimension, has to fight to survive.
Dave @ Apr 14th 2009 1:50PM
......it's still a pig.
BunnySlapper @ Apr 14th 2009 1:56PM
Needs a nude mod.
Bayonetta rather, not Sarah Palin. Meh, ok why not both.
BG aka Slap @ Apr 14th 2009 2:05PM
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?
samfish @ Apr 14th 2009 2:50PM
I know where I'd like to see Sarah Palin stick that flute...

In your bum?
AsherR @ Apr 14th 2009 1:09PM
That last trailer was so over the top, but that's why I love it.
More over the top action games please.

@#$% I have to wait till Fall to suplex a dragon?
Life is some serious bullshit sometimes.
Kamizar @ Apr 14th 2009 1:39PM
I watched the Bayonetta: Imma Suplex a Dragon trailer like a billion times just to pick out the features in the game.
SecretAgentHam @ Apr 14th 2009 1:42PM
this game will be awesome. day 1 purchase for me.
mandark @ Apr 14th 2009 1:46PM
Is it too optimistic to hope for a PC version later on ?
Devil may cry 4 did after all.
BunnySlapper @ Apr 14th 2009 1:51PM
SHOW US YOUR BOOBS.
Bayonetta that is...not Ben Gilbert.
cuso26 @ Apr 14th 2009 1:52PM
I just can't get on board with this game, the main char's design is just too much like a modern Final Fantasy on acid and I don't like it.
Rob @ Apr 14th 2009 1:53PM
I can live with it.
samfish @ Apr 14th 2009 2:03PM
Well, at least I know I'm buying one game this autumn.
Yay!
iag25 @ Apr 14th 2009 2:07PM
hope this game doesn't get cluster fucked by the other fall games. This game deserves a chance.
Night Elve @ Apr 14th 2009 2:03PM
Adding this game to my shopping list :)
Deck @ Apr 14th 2009 2:22PM
This looks very sexy! I like it!
sinai @ Apr 14th 2009 2:31PM
the quiet announcement is what worries me... seems like a vote of no confidence
Levi (God Hand Defense Force) @ Apr 14th 2009 2:43PM
The quiet before the storm friendo. There's plenty of time before the Fall to remind everybody when this will arrive.
samfish @ Apr 14th 2009 2:52PM
The consistent lack of comments on various blogs worries me more. If the self identified 'hardcore' aren't drooling for this, who will? :(
Clover Curse continues?
Levi (God Hand Defense Force) @ Apr 14th 2009 10:21PM
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.
Roto13 @ Apr 14th 2009 2:41PM
MINE!
*nab*
yojimb0 @ Apr 14th 2009 2:59PM
Between this and Darksiders, it's a good year for action games.
JoeTheBlow @ Apr 14th 2009 3:00PM
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.
samfish @ Apr 14th 2009 3:30PM
Silly Japanese. It's not JUST Space Marines. We have all KINDS of Marines shooting each other in the face.
iag25 @ Apr 14th 2009 4:04PM
cuz fps are sooo evolving.. give me a break.
Like u said to most japanese killzone = halo = duke nukem.
Rocketboy @ Apr 14th 2009 3:17PM
This game makes me feel funny.
BunnySlapper @ Apr 14th 2009 4:01PM
"Haha" funny? Or "you just climbed the rope in gym class" funny?
jetenginejesus @ Apr 14th 2009 4:17PM
Seriously, this looks like the MOST ANNOYING GAME EVER. Just watching the trailer of it made me want to punch myself into unconciousness...
joshg @ Apr 14th 2009 5:01PM
This game looks so stupid...
Jinsenken @ Apr 14th 2009 5:18PM
You spelled "Awesome" wrong.
Brendan H @ Apr 14th 2009 7:19PM
What, nobody said it yet? Ok, I'll do it...
Hey, check out those guns!
Thank you and goodnight.
BigD145 @ Apr 14th 2009 8:13PM
Boobies.
pete @ Apr 14th 2009 11:01PM
