Bayonetta Laid Bare by Japanese Public

Submitted by Vikki Blake on November 1, 2009 – 12:00 amComments

Bayonetta Laid Bare (Aeropause)

To celebrate the release of SEGA’s Bayonetta in Japan this week, Tokyo commuters got to see the amazonian heroine laid out in all her glory by way of huuuuuuuge billboard postings spotted at Shinuya and Shinjuku stations. With only fliers posted to protect poor Bayonetta’s modesty, it was simply a waiting-game to see if and when the Japanese public stripped her down.

Unsurprisingly, it took less than 24 hours.

Hit the jump for release dates, import info and Bayonetta in all her kick-ass glory ….

Awww. You’re disappointed now, aren’t you? Pft. Perv.

Anyway, although Bayonetta’s already hit the shelves in Japan, fans elsewhere in the world have to save their holiday gifts/cash and wait it out. But the good news is if you can’t/won’t/don’t want to wait, you don’t have to. As the Japanese game carries English audio and in-game text – and PS3 games are gloriously region-free – you can go ahead and import it right now. Okay, so the manual’s in Japanese … but who reads manuals anyway, right?

Bayonetta is set for release on the PS3 and XBox 360 on 5 January 2010 in the US, and in Europe three days later on the 8th. No, I have no idea why there’s an inexplicable three day gap, either.

  • I CANNOT believe this post has no comments. I LOVED this story!
  • I think a lack of nekid Bayonetta = the lack of comments. Find me some hentai Bayonetta and I am in for the long haul! Also, I would mention that I think Bayonetta is the first game to use region locking in Japan, as to cut down on the import. That is hear say at best, so I could be wrong. The demo worked fine when downloaded from the Japanese store, but that is a whole different mechanism. This was from August so it may be different now - http://kotaku.com/5345288/sega-yes-bayonetta-wi...
  • No way! Hope it's not true. The reports I've read (see entry sources) have people confirming that they've shipped it over and it's all a-ok. Hope they weren't lying ...
