It was revealed on the latest Nintendo Direct that Bayonetta 2 will be released sometime later this year exclusively for the Wii U, but no official release date has been announced. However, they did release a trailer for the game, which showcases all of the zany action and characters that fans would come to expect.

The original Bayonetta was a third-person action game that was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 5, 2010 and was developed by Platinum Games. It’s interesting then that it’s sequel, developed by the same company, will be exclusive to a console that did not feature the original. It’s even more interesting considering it is a mature game that is amongst the kind that Nintendo systems usually lack. Hopefully, the game is well-received and shows that a Nintendo console isn’t just a platform for little kids.

The trailer is nearly 3-minutes long and features some truly impressive action and visuals. Check it out below.
