Bayonetta Teased For Nintendo Switch And We Can't Cope
HYPE.
Tuesday, July 4, 2017 - 10:46
Brace yourself: video games’ coolest leading lady might just be coming to Nintendo Switch.
Platinum Games have already proven itself a mischievous minx, recently releasing a free, fully-playable Bayonetta game on Steam, which turned out to be a very fancy way of announcing that the classic hack-n-slash game was coming to PC.

Yesterday, however, the official Twitter account posted this:
So that’s a red Bayonetta picture. And a blue one. And these colours just oh-so-happen to be the same colours as the Switch’s Joy-Cons…?
If you think we’re stretching, Eurogamer noted that the studio had liked replies from fans that have pointed out the similarity to Nintendo Switch branding. Which can’t be coincidental, surely?!
Some people are hoping this means a third Bayonetta game is on its way, but given there are clearly copyright marks just for Bayo 1 and 1 (bottom right of the image), could this mean the original game - and Wii U exclusive Bayonetta 2 - are coming to Nintendo’s new hybrid console?
21 Secret Easter Eggs Hidden In 'The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' That Will Blow Your Mind
-
What makes this shrine so special isn’t just the spirit orb waiting for you inside, its the shrine’s name ‘Oman Au’ which is actually an anagram for Aonuma as in “Eiji Aonuma”, the producer of Breath of the Wild.YouTube/The Easter Egg Hunter -
Remember all those fake swords you came across whilst searching for the Master Sword in ‘A Link to the Past’? Near the start of BOTW a similar bluff is set up when you stumble across a sword that looks masterful but turns out to be a rusty dud.YouTube/Zeltik -
The old man in the game is said to be a direct reference to the old man in the original Legend of Zelda who gives Link his sword. Whilst in the original game you start by entering a cave to greet him, in BOTW you exit a cave before greeting him.YouTube/Zeltik -
The divine beasts’ names are references to characters from earlier in the series: Vah Ruta is said to reference Ruto, the Zora princess of Ocarina of Time, whilst Vah Naboris is said to be named after a Gerudo hero known as Nabooru.YouTube/ZackScottGames -
Twitter user @Venick409 posted a genius way to get around without the use of a glider. Smash into a rock until its piping hot, then hop on just before it shoots off into the sky.Twitter/Venick409 -
Wanna ride around on a giant horse? Who doesn’t?! Ganon’s horse can be found exactly here.YouTube/BeardBear -
Recognise the Temple of Time from 'Ocarina of Time’ in this scene? Speed up the background melody whilst walking through the temple’s ruins and you’ll also recognise the memorable ‘Song of Time’ which played whenever you entered the Temple of Time.YouTube/The Easter Egg Hunter -
Wanna dress like ‘Dark Link’ from Ocarina of Time (complete with “night speed” boost)? Seek out the vendor named Kilton who likes to trade in monster parts. 4,000 monster points gets you the costume!YouTube/Arekkz Gaming -
Additional classic costumes can be accessed by enabling amiibo functionality in your settings. Once activated, a proximity marker will show you where items will drop, with chests occasionally containing costume items you can then collect.YouTube/Arekkz Gaming -
Spectacle Rock, which first appeared in the original 1986 release during the First Quest appears again in Breath of the Wild. It can be found on the edge of the Gerudo Desert, south of Gerudo Canyon.YouTube/Looper -
Linebeck Island meanwhile takes its name from the cowardly Captain last seen in Phantom Hourglass.Nintendo -
Parallels to older games continue when you take a look at the flowers surrounding the Master Sword in the game’s official E3 trailer and compare them to the flowers surrounding the Master Sword you find in ‘A Link to the Past’.YouTube/Looper -
Whilst watchman Botrick’s striking resemblance to President Satoru Iwata may actually be a deliberate move by Nintendo to pay tribute to its former leader who sadly passed away in 2015.YouTube/Seaniccus -
As in previous Zelda entries, the cuccos are still regarded as a sacred species so any attempts to harm a cucco continuously will result in a flock of cucco’s attacking you.YouTube/Chris Bradel -
. In contrast, throwing a cucco at an enemy so that they attack it and incur the wrath of a cucco flock is a pretty genius move that may prove useful in defeating certain foes.YouTube/Master0fHyrule -
As you may have heard, the ancient Hylian script in the game has scrambled words that can be decoded. Whilst most translations are pretty straightforward, “All Your Base Are “ found in this shrine actually references the 1989 video game Zero Wing.YouTube/Chamber of Sages -
And “It’s dangerous to go alone” translated from the script viewed through Link’s scope here, is in fact a partial quote from the 1986 game.YouTube/The Easter Egg Hunter -
One fan is said to have even translated some symbols from the game’s Master Edition packaging to reveal the phrase "The Hyrule Fantasy", the subtitle of the original Zelda game that was released over 30 years ago in Japan.Nintendo -
Fancy a ride on Link's beloved horse Epona from previous games? You can unlock the best horse ever by using the Link amiibo figurine that came out with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.YouTube/Eurogamer -
Similarly, Wolf Link can be unlocked by using the Twilight Princess Wolf Link.YouTube/Eurogamer -
Lastly, just southeast of Hyrule Castle you'll find ‘Ranch Ruins’ which upon closer inspection bares lots of similarities to Ocarina of Time's Lon Lon Ranch. Might this be a clue as to when BOTW takes place in the expansive Zelda timeline?YouTube/Tusken Raiders
If you’ve never played it, Bayonetta is an awesome, hack-n-slash action game starring a sexy AF witch of the same name.
While we’re on the topic of Nintendo Switch, if you’re looking for the latest info on Super Mario Odyssey, look no further - we’ve got you covered.
And did you catch the news that Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is confirmed… and it’s going to be a Mario game like we’ve *never* seen before?
