Bayonetta (NSP, XCI) ROM + v1.1 Update

Bayonetta is a single-player, third-person 3D action and hack-and-slash game. The player controls a witch named Bayonetta, can use melee and long-ranged attacks, and can select multiple weapons. By pressing a combination of buttons, they can use “Wicked Weave” attacks and they are also able to use “Torture Attacks” in which Bayonetta summons a variety of devices to deal serious damage to enemies. Such devices range from chainsaws to iron maidens. One ability Bayonetta has is “Witch Time”, which activates when the player makes a well-timed dodge to an attack. This temporarily increases her speed, causing enemies to appear to move in slow motion, allowing Bayonetta to inflict massive amounts of counter damage before the enemies can react.

The player can double jump for extra height, perform evasive backflips, and destroy background objects and doors. Camera views can be rotated, enemy targets can be locked on, and weapons can be switched during play. With unlockable transformations, the player can make Bayonetta become a panther or one of various other living creatures to enhance her abilities. Lollipops can be used to heal her, replenish her magic, induce invincibility, or increase her strength, although using these items, as well as dying, lowers the score for that chapter. By finding various component items, the player can combine them into new items. Many enemies and objects drop halos when destroyed, which the player can use to buy items, techniques, and weapon upgrades. The player can use enemy weapons, either to directly attack or as props for movement. Bayonetta’s strongest attacks allow her to summon parts of Madama Butterfly and other demons with her hair.

During development, five difficulty modes were created: “Very Easy”, “Easy”, “Normal”, “Hard”, and “Non-Stop Infinite Climax”. On Easy and Very Easy, a “Very Easy Automatic” mode is made available in which the game positions Bayonetta to perform attacks on enemies, and the player only needs to press one button to execute elaborate combos, unless they wish to perform their own choice of movements or attacks. Kamiya posted a video on the game’s official website in which character designer Mari Shimazaki demonstrated the mode (which Kamiya “jokingly called ‘Mommy Mode'”) in Bayonetta. He expected players to first complete the game in 10 to 12 hours but believed that its rating system (similar to that of Viewtiful Joe, which he directed) and the pursuit of high scores provide replay value. The game has a fixed button configuration; Kamiya said that “there wasn’t a point to changing [it].”
