Bayonetta 2 Will Be Available By Itself At Retail In February
Since its release in September 2014, Bayonetta 2 has been sold with a port of the original. Its price hasn’t budged much since then, but that’s about to change.
Beginning on February 19, Nintendo will begin selling Bayonetta 2 by itself. You’ll be able to pick up a boxed copy of the more recent title for $29.99. Compared to the second-hand pricing for the Bayonetta two-pack, which has sold consistently for $70 to $80 on eBay recently, this is a steal.
If you still want the double-feature, you can grab it from the eShop. It’ll cost you $49.99 at this point, just $10 less than its original selling price. But if you still have a copy of the first game and are content without the Wii U version, you won’t have long to wait for a physical copy.

Our Take
This move should make collectors happy, as they are typically riled when publishers reissue hard-to-find items. If you still want the original, a digital version is available. The best of both worlds? Very likely.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
