With that in mind, we hope that the final product will deliver some stylish action at 60 FPS when the game comes out on Switch later this year. The trailers for the game thus far suggest that PlatinumGames is making the most of the Switch hardware. While the original Bayonetta can still be purchased on multiple platforms, Bayonetta 2 and Bayonetta 3 are going to be Nintendo-exclusive games for the foreseeable future. Bayonetta 3 will be launching as a Switch exclusive on October 28 this year.

Is Bayonetta 3 Nintendo Switch Exclusive?īayonetta 3 is being published by Nintendo, and given the situation between Nintendo and PlatinumGames mentioned above, it would make sense that the later game in the series would be a Nintendo exclusive. With that in mind, Bayonetta and character action game fans, in general, may want to know whether Bayonetta 3 will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive. As a result, Bayonetta 2 was created as an exclusive game for Nintendo. While sales have not been fully disclosed, by March 2018, Nintendo confirmed the Switch version had sold 400,000 copies during its first nine weeks, compared to the 300,000 copies the Wii U version sold during the same. That’s when Nintendo stepped up to the plate and offered a publishing deal with financial support to PlatinumGames. The Nintendo Switch version of Bayonetta 2 sold 9,532 copies within its first week on sale in Japan, which placed it at number 14 on the all format sales chart.

However, Sega, the publisher of the game, could not greenlight a sequel due to financial difficulties at the time. Visually, Bayonetta 2 is one of the best looking games you play on Nintendo Switch right now.
