Bayonetta is known for many things: impossible set-pieces, ridiculously over-the-top combat, maybe a few risqué poses - it's everything that makes action games great, without feeling the need to be a deeper, philosophical experience. It's incredible fun, polished to a mirror sheen.
With Bayonetta 2 seeing release late last year, it'd be nearly impossible for Platinum Games to come up with something new already. The series isn't known for annual releases, so seeing any news of a new game is huge. That being said, Platinum Games has gone and released the next Bayonetta game - and it's available in your browser!
So, does this browser game mean anything in regards to the future of Bayonetta? Probably not, though it's wise to never put anything past Platinum Games - you never know if they have anything up its sleeves...
The full 8-bit Bayonetta arcade game can be played from Platinum Games' website.
