9.0Bayonetta 2 is a perfect choice to port over to the Nintendo Switch. The eclectic action and story is a treat on its own, but it’s amazing how great it looks and plays when in handheld mode.

- Way Too Many Games9.0Dare I say that Bayonetta 2 on the Switch is a much better choice than the Wii U version, even though both games are basically the same in terms of gameplay and content? Yes, I dare. Not only does the game feature a much more stable framerate and a much friendlier controller than the clunky mess that was the Wii U Gamepad, but the fact you can now play this over-the-top action gem anywhere you feel like due to the Switch’s portability is more than enough to guarantee a purchase, even if it’s a bit expensive for a port of a last-gen title.
Gamer reviews
Bonkers and frenetic action. It's stylish and smooth and very shallow. There's nothing here that kept me playing after I crushed the "story" (such as it is). Worth playing, but hardly worth the essential reputation.
