Bayonetta 2 Rated in Australia

Bayonetta 2 was announced exclusively for Wii U, and then it kind of went quiet. We’ve had a couple of updates showing how things have been progressing, but when compared to something like Watch Dogs (which seems to have had a trailer every week for months), the Witch Hairdressing Sim seems to have been completely non-existent. It seems release might be closer than you’d expect, however, as Bayonetta 2 was this weekend rated in Australia.

Those worried that Nintendo would worry about their squeaky clean Family image will be happy to know that Bayonetta 2 doesn’t seem any cleaner than the original. The classification board have warned that the game contains strong fantasy violence, as well as moderate sex and language. It’s important to remember that much of Bayonetta’s sex appeal came from implications and euphemisms. There were no full-on sex scenes or even any nudity, technically.

All in all, it seems those that were worried about the financiers messing around with the tried and tested mix of playful naughtiness and monster bashing were way off the mark. No release date has been announced, but you can bet your bottom dollar that if it’s being rated, we’ll know when we’ll be able to get our hands on it by the end of E3.
