Now Viewing: Bayonetta_1Tag type: Copyright The first game of the Bayonetta_(series). It was originally released on Oct. 9 2009 in Japan for the Xbox 360, and it was later ported to the PS3. There is no Japanese dub for the game. Even in the original Japanese version, the dialogue is all in English. Besides English, the game uses the real life language Enochian, said to be the language of Angels. Bayonetta and Jeanne use this language for their summons. Their incantations remain un-subtitled. The Angels exclusively speak in this language, but their dialogue is subtitled. The characters were designed by Shimazaki_Mari who has also worked on Okami with Kamiya Hideki. The game's cutscenes are directed by Shimomura Yuji. Hashimoto Yusuke designed the game's enemies and would go on to direct the game's sequel. Bayonetta is a powerful witch who heads to the city of Vigrid to search for someone who holds the 'Right Eye,' which is part of the 'Eyes of the World.' She is informed that said person can help her recover her memories. As Bayonetta battles armies of evil angels and a fellow witch named Jeanne, she gradually recovers her memories and discovers that the truth of the whole situation is more complicated. Kamiya Hideki has also posted a play through (Japanese with English subtitles) of the game done by himself on the Platinum Games Website. It also doubles as a creator commentary on the game as he provides information on the behind-the-scenes development of the game. A list of the game's many easter eggs can be found here: www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/946345-bayonetta/faqs/58989 The game sold 1.35 million copies worldwide and received generally positive reviews by critics. However, the XBOX360 version is generally regarded as superior even by the creators themselves due to the PS3 version suffering from framerate issues. The PS3 port was handled by other developers, a decision that Platinum Games came to regret with Kamiya calling it the biggest mistake he made in his career and the company vowing to not let other companies port their games to other systems. Nevertheless, the PS3 port still sold plenty of copies. This game is notably the only Bayonetta game to not be a Nintendo exclusive. Despite the numerous Sega references within this game, Platinum Games and Sega's relationship became strained and the budding franchise was saved from being nipped in the bud by Nintendo which came at the price of the rest of the series being Nintendo exclusives. However, this helped make it possible for Bayonetta to appear in the Nintendo crossover franchise Super Smash Bros., with her making her first appearance in Super Smash Bros. Wii U. as a playable fighter, making her the second character, behind Solid Snake, from a more adult-targeted video game franchise to appear alongside characters from more family friendly games. Her stage is based off of the opening falling clock tower battle from the original Bayonetta. The game received an anime film adaptation by Gonzo on November 23, 2013. The anime is directed by Kizaki Fuminori with characters designed by Yokoyama_Ai. The voice acting is in Japanese unlike the original game. It has also been adapted into a manga written and drawn by Sakakibara_Mizuki.
