Bayonetta Delayed to 2010

July 17, 2009 11:02 AM

MadWorld developer Platinum Games' new over-the-top action title Bayonetta won't make it out this year as planned, Sega announced today.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title has been delayed to January 2010, though the Japanese version will still be released in October. "Bayonetta is an extremely important new IP for SEGA and adds a new level of depth to our growing portfolio," said Sega West president Mike Hayes. "As a result of market analysis we have taken a Publishing decision that January 2010 is the optimum release time in the Western Markets to maximize this exciting new title's potential."

  Because a DMC-alike is totally competition for Modern Warfare 2. These genres have a pretty wide gap between them and although I like both of them because I'm a true gamer at heart who loves all games. I'm gonna go on a limb here and say not everyone is a Modern Warfare fan but they may be a huge Hideo Kamiya fan. They may be more of specialized breed of gamer, akin to Racing and Fighting games. I hope this was pushed back just to add more content and polish and not a misguided attempt to miss the holiday rush. Hey.. at least we got quite a few games to play this summer... I remember when Summer meant game drought. Sad days they were...

    While I do agree that MW2 probably wont have a huge impact on Bayonetta sales... I will say that being a fan of both genres, if it came out on the same week I'd probably get MW2 first.
