Bayonetta & Bayonetta 2, Wii U – £39.85 delivered

Bit of an odd one this.

There’s been a heck of a lot of confusion surrounding what should be a pretty simple promotion. Because Nintendo.

It was announced at E3 that Bayonetta 2 would come with a “free copy” of Bayonetta, however this offer was specifically from Nintendo of America, with Nintendo of Europe handling the promotion for our region. NoE kept quiet for a little while, then announced that in the UK, the free copy of Bayonetta would only come with the Special Edition of the game.

It’s not clear if this is going to be a Special Edition in the sense that it costs extra, or if it’s just limited in numbers/availability.

Currently Amazon are advertising the standard edition of Bayonetta 2 with a store description that states it includes with free copy of Bayonetta.

Typically Amazon will honour the store description where possible, so in the event that the Special Edition costs extra, it’s entirely feasible that Amazon will upgrade your order at no extra charge.

If you’re particularly keen to get Bayonetta 2 with the free copy of the first game, it’s my advice to place an order with Amazon now, sit on the preorder until closer to release when all the confusion has been resolved, and no matter what you can always cancel that order before release should you opt to buy it from elsewhere.

It’s currently about a quid cheaper here, with the same promise that it includes the first game, but I have no idea what Base will do in the event of the promotion getting a bit messy.
