And while it runs like buttery magic on the system, it can become a little hard to see exactly what’s going on when sprawling fights take over the little screen. Aside from its flawless 60fps presentation, Bayonetta is starting to show its age. Its Switch port doesn’t really offer much new though.
It’s a beautiful ballet of bullets and brawling, and remains one of the finest action games ever made. In addition to armament, she also utilises a cornucopia of combos, giving us a game where the flow of combat – between frenzied and flurried offence and perfectly-timed defence – is key. Bayonetta’s story is really secondary to the action, which sees the Witch use all manner of unlockable guns (affixed to all four of her limbs) in her pursuit of the past. In an almost incomprehensible tale about battles with heavenly hosts, Bayonetta – supernatural exterminator extraordinaire – is out to regain her memory and take on hordes of angels in a battle for the fate of the world. Available as a standalone download or as a bundle for those who purchase Bayonetta 2, the titular Umbra Witch makes her Switch debut. It’s a game that as a series, would no longer exist had Nintendo not stepped in, and now it makes its appearance on Nintendo’s Switch. It’s a game that took the action of predecessors like Devil May Cry, threw in an even more ridiculous tory, and dialled the insanity to eleven. Platinum’s action game under Hideki Kamiya has been available on just about every platform – and, barring its legendarily rubbish PlayStation 3 port, has shone brightly. There’s little that still needs to be said about the original Bayonetta.
