Captain Olimar (Pikpik carrots and/or Pellet Posy pellets appear instead of Halos, and a small group of Pikmin can either follow her around and be killed by enemies, or be summoned to assist in her attacks, like the Little Devils with the Infernal Communicator accessory).Captain Falcon (Her punch and kick attacks with Scarborough Fair and Love is Blue becoming Falcon Punches and Kicks, and the Wicked Weave attacks summon the Blue Falcon to smash into enemies).The costumes also had other effects that were mostly cosmetic (the Peach and Daisy costumes had the Wicked Weaves summon Bowser instead of Madama Butterfly, and Mario-style coins appeared instead of halos), and a few that affected gameplay (the Samus costume allowed you to do a charge shot, while the Link costume allowed you to parry enemy attacks). Bayonetta 2 brought those back and also included a Fox McCloud costume. There will be more Nintendo-themed costumesThe Wii U port of the first Bayonetta had costumes based on Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Link, and Samus Aran. Since the series' resident Time Master in Loki is still around, the game could involve repairing all those timelines. This fits with the teaser's main theme of things splitting.this speculation suddenly sounds like Suikoden Tierkreis.) Going further, maybe unlike the previous two games, new weapons Bayo can obtain in this game are not directly forged by Rodin this time, but rather salvaged from these fallen timelines. What was it that Loki said?Ĭontinuing from the above WMG, this game will make use of Alternate Time Line, and the villain is trying to destroy these alternate worlds, i.e., Class Z Apocalypse HowAmong other things, this could mean that the Bayonetta we see dead in the trailer indeed does exist, but not the same Bayonetta whom we have seen beat up Jubileus and Loptr The fact that Whittingham Fair is a variant of Scarborough Fair seems to be a pretty obvious clue (if also potentially a Red Herring).Īnd later on, as more and more timelines fall victim to this villain, pieces and bits of what used to be them eventually arrive at the actual game's own timeline proper, perhaps for example by giving our Bayonetta the Whittingham Fair dropping from the sky before Rodin gets to present Bayo his newest guns (whatever their names may be). The time travel rewrite in 2 would justifiably be different from the immediate effects in Bayonetta because its rewrite involves removing the Eyes from existence. Bayonetta's still using her original outfit, but the use of "Whittingham Fair" instead of "Scarborough Fair" implies that this isn't quite the same timeline as the first game.Īnd for once, Timey-Wimey Ball makes sense. We don't know what would result from that, but Father Balder's entire plan in the first game was to reunite the Eyes. Balder was sent back to his own time and took Loptr with him, but he didn't have the Right Eye that we saw during the prologue. However, at the climax of the game, Loki destroys both Eyes. Right there, we've already changed the script of history, but there was no timeline alteration because Balder could have returned to his own time with the Right Eye. This drove Loptr to pull Balder out of the past and set up his plan to take both Eyes for himself. In the opening cutscene of 2, we see Father Balder's death, and with it the death of the Right Eye. In Bayonetta 2, a similar alteration appeared, although it was only hinted at (actually, it was a Plot Hole, but this game looks to capitalize on it). The alternate timeline setting implied in the trailer was the result of Balder being pulled out of his own time in Bayonetta 2.In the first Bayonetta, Father Balder awakens the Left Eye in Bayonetta by pulling Cereza out of her own time and altering history so that she was never sealed away by Jeanne.
