Bayonetta 2 'like fighting the last boss from the very beginning'
by John Keefer, Jan 23, 2013 8:35am PSTBayonetta 2 developer Platinum Games isn't ready to show any actual footage from their upcoming Wii U exclusive title, but they did open up the studio for a behind the scenes look at the game in development for today's Nintendo Direct.
In the video, you can see some elaborate set pieces, monster animations and the crafting of Bayonetta's classic leather-looking hair outfit and moves. Different developers also discuss what they are trying to do with the game. "The scale of the game is completely different this time, so it feels like you are fighting the last boss from the beginning," one said.
The video concludes with a shot of Bayonetta's incredibly slender, but deadly legs struting across the screen with the tease "Do you want to touch me?" When the first in-game footage of the game is available, it is likely many fans of the original (who have a Wii U) will be shouting "Yes!"

Sega expects to post a 7.1 billion yen (approximately $85 million) loss for the year ending March 2012, and has announced it will be streamlining its business and canceling unspecified games as a result... The company says that IPs like Sonic the Hedgehog, Football Manager, Total War, and Aliens are expected to perform strongly, and indicated no plans to cancel those games. Other unspecified games are being canceled, but those could be projects that haven't been publicly announced yet.
One of those was most likely a Bayonetta sequel. The whole time, though, Platinum and Kamiya were storyboarding out ideas for what would go into a Bayonetta sequel, and Kamiya was also working on "Project P-100", which was announced at E3 2012, and was later titled "The Wonderful 101", to be released soon, within the Wii U launch window. At some point, discussions between Nintendo, Sega, and Platinum reached a point where Nintendo was going to fund and publish a Bayonetta sequel, as a Wii U exclusive.
