Good news for Nintendo fans: When it arrives, Bayonetta 3 will be a Switch exclusive. It's just that the odds of that happening in 2018 seem very, very low. Instead, Switch owners in the mood for some hack 'n' slash fun will have to make do with new ports of the first two games in the series.
The Switch version of Bayonetta 2 (originally released in 2014 for Wii U to massive acclaim) will get a physical release next month, and it will include access to a digital copy of the first Bayonetta game (originally released in 2009 on multiple platforms). Though not confirmed, it looks like the Switch version of Bayonetta 2 will incorporate a few new features, including local co-op multiplayer.
