Bayonetta 2 is still an essential game despite the time since its launch on Wii U. This version may not provide excessive improvements or novelties, but if you didn't play at the time, you are facing the perfect opportunity to do so.

Bayonetta 2 remains one of Platinum's best games, and is a treat on Switch just as it was on Wii U.
Despite being a three-plus-year-old port, Bayonetta 2 shines brightest on Nintendo Switch. It runs without a hitch at 60fps, looks incredible in both TV and tabletop modes and offers an addictive free-flowing combat formula that sprinkles in platforming, light exploration and a ridiculous story to create something that you simply need to experience....
Bayonetta 2 is, along with its predecessor, one of the best stylish action games ever. The Switch version doesn't add much, but if you haven't played it yet, you have to.
A fantastic sequel and one of the greatest action games ever made, and now available on a format that people actually own.
