Nintendo says a physical Switch edition of the first Bayonetta is coming ‘later this year’

destructoid.com:

A Bayonetta Switch physical edition is coming “later this year,” according to Nintendo, who will be providing more info at a later date.

The news was revealed with the Bayonetta 3 launch date trailer this week, but Nintendo has separately clarified a bit on how that distribution of the first game will go down.

Hopefully the rollout will be smooth, and will provide plentiful options/stock, with safeguards in place for bots/scalpers. That will totally happen you all.

But really folks! Ideally, none of these retailer drops will be “two-minute sellouts at 2AM Eastern time,” or riddled with hours-long login queues. This isn’t a special edition, it’s a $30 re-release.

That said, there is a special edition in the works for Bayonetta 3: the aforementioned Masquerade Edition. You can get a look at it here:

This special Trinity Masquerade Edition of #Bayonetta3 also dances its way onto #NintendoSwitch on 28/10! It features a 200-page artbook, as well as three special game sleeves which combine to form a panoramic artwork. pic.twitter.com/uDpTMOkHJP
