UK Bayonetta pre-order bonuses revealed
by Richard Mitchell

We're not sure why publishers decided that purchasing a game should be more difficult, but the recent trend of retailer exclusive pre-order goodies seems to be here to stay. Case in point: the various pre-order bonuses for Bayonetta in the UK. Those who pre-order at Play.com will receive the Bayonetta Climax Edition, pictured above on the left. Meanwhile, HMV pre-orders get a "Manga's Leading Ladies" DVD, which features "full episodes, trailers and exclusive clips" of something. Perhaps the coolest bonus, though, belongs to game.co.uk, which offers a replica of one of Bayonetta's guns, Scarborough Fair.
All three are being offered for £39.99, so the only decision you really have to make is which bonus you like the best. Well, that and whether or not you ever want to invite a pretty girl into your home.

The 'Climax Edition'? Really?
There might be a bit of an uproar in the US about that. I would bet they change the name.

that's only if it includes the Bayonetta blow up doll
shamowfski @ Dec 1st 2009 4:14PM
I vote Bayonetta Orgasm Edition.
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Dec 1st 2009 4:23PM
Bayonetta Giggity Edition?
Nytemare457 @ Dec 1st 2009 5:37PM
Bayonetta: Happy Ending Edition
Blank-Mage (ATDFs Nuker) @ Dec 1st 2009 6:03PM
Bayonetta: Scalding Coffee edition.
Viridium @ Dec 1st 2009 4:12PM
Man, no word of what NA (Canada specifically) is going to get yet? Maybe I should just import the Climax from Australia with the pistol replica.
afiq tadza @ Dec 1st 2009 4:13PM
i so want that pistol replica!
Sidebuster @ Dec 1st 2009 4:13PM
Is there real hype behind this game, or is it comepletley fabricated by the developer, publisher and the media? This game looks like a bargin bin joke to me an I can't understand why anyone would be excited about it.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 4:15PM
A lot of the excitement comes from hype by the developer, yes, but some of it comes from who is doing the development. Lot of DMC fans.
Preston @ Dec 1st 2009 4:21PM
I take it you didn't get in on the early access demo. It's a pretty solid DMC/Ninja Gaiden 2 style beatemup, so it should be entertaining if you like that style of game.
brbbb @ Dec 1st 2009 4:28PM
I think it's safe to say that it will be, at the very least, as good as God of War 3.
Lunastra78 (PSN: lunastra78) @ Dec 1st 2009 4:48PM
Better than GoWIII? No way in He... Hades!

I quote Dom: "The last level has you ride a motorcycle into space and punch the last boss so hard that her soul flies out of her body and into the sun. The sun! It doesn't need to be said that I love this game in all aspects."
Vertimyst @ Dec 1st 2009 8:47PM
@Blank-mage: *high-fives* Dom and Megatokyo FTW. ;)
Ahmedz @ Dec 1st 2009 4:21PM
Pistol's mine.
hector88 @ Dec 1st 2009 4:22PM
I wish the collector's edition with the scarborough fair replica were available in NA though I'd honestly prefer a bayonetta action figure with lt. col kilgore.
KingOfHearts @ Dec 1st 2009 4:22PM
Show US some love=P
hamildan @ Dec 1st 2009 4:26PM
The game got 10/10 from both Famitsu & Edge, both industry respected video game review magazines.
Yeah it looks like a joke, but I know a guy who traveled around these parts way back when. A guy with crazy ideas who brought a lot of joy to a lot of people, and people called him a joke.
...Mario.
ch82 @ Dec 1st 2009 4:34PM
@hamildan I think the joke started when you called Famitsu respected
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 4:41PM
And Namco didn't hire Yuji Naka because he didn't have a college degree.
But this case is different, as the developer is already respected.
Blank-Mage (ATDFs Nuker) @ Dec 1st 2009 6:06PM
...And did you seriously just compare a fat Italian plumber to a hot librarian?
devilsei @ Dec 1st 2009 6:39PM
blank mage, you have no clue how hot a porno with that idea would be
Aero @ Dec 1st 2009 4:28PM
But can you attach it to your shoes?
Blank-Mage (ATDFs Nuker) @ Dec 1st 2009 6:17PM
Duct tape may not be elegant, but it's effective.
ch82 @ Dec 1st 2009 4:32PM
My God I hate that stupid ass gun!
playwhutyalike @ Dec 1st 2009 4:49PM
I think it would look better if it was on a different stand. Maybe one that doesn't look like it came from Family Dollar.
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Dec 1st 2009 5:01PM
As far as I knew, she only had handguns and footguns. You're saying she also has an assgun? Damn. Is that hot? I don't even know.
Snakku @ Dec 1st 2009 5:09PM
oh lord al mighty give me the gun
Blank-Mage (ATDFs Nuker) @ Dec 1st 2009 6:06PM
"Your gun is digging into my hip..."
playwhutyalike @ Dec 1st 2009 8:29PM
That means Finkle is Clayhorn!
nullset @ Dec 1st 2009 11:13PM
Wait, Bayonetta has an ass gun? Now THIS seems like my kind of game!
Anemos @ Dec 1st 2009 4:44PM
Well, Europe usually gets the shitty end of the stick when it comes to game release dates so they at least have all these different pre-order bonuses.
Roto13 @ Dec 1st 2009 4:46PM
Her individual guns are named Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme. They´re only known as Scarborough Fair as a set.

Silence, Roto owns you.

*pelvic thrust*
BruniBrun @ Dec 1st 2009 5:00PM
I guess I'll get this game. Not gonna pre-order/limited edition or anything. That's for consumer-whores.
:3
Arturo @ Dec 1st 2009 6:12PM
I'd rather have Bayonetta herself as the pre-order bonus.
Blank-Mage (ATDFs Nuker) @ Dec 1st 2009 6:15PM
That's both illegal and impossible, but you gets points for living the dream.
Blank-Mage (ATDFs Nuker) @ Dec 1st 2009 6:13PM
Tempting, but I reserve my fake weapons collection to blades. I like to think that in the event of a zombie apocalypse, I can dual wield Andúril and a Gunblade for massive damage. What would I do with a fake foot gun?
As for the other versions, I'd like to know what I'm getting full episodes OF. And what am I talking about, I'm poor now anyway. Fake swords are really expensive.
shadowhowl1900 @ Dec 1st 2009 7:21PM
i was hoping for a gun heeled boots really
Myaora @ Dec 3rd 2009 2:01PM
So...
Can you order this version for other European countries?
I'm interested in the Climax edition + Gun, obviously.
But, don't really get whether its limited to UK or for all of Europe.
Captain Planet [PIaneteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Dec 4th 2009 3:01PM
Bayonetta Giggity Edition?
DaleButt @ Dec 28th 2009 7:05PM
Hmmm I really want to pre-order the Climax edition but WITH the gun! Not the Climax edition without a gun, and NOT the normal version with the gun, grrr!!!
Anyone know a way of pre ordering the Climax Edition with the gun in the UK?
