Bayonetta 2 (JP) is an action game originally released for the Wii U. It is the sequel to the original Bayonetta, and it has remained exclusive to Nintendo platforms.
A port of the original was included as a bonus with purchases of the initial run and digital purchases. The game was re-released for the Nintendo Switch in early 2018 with a download code for the original.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is similar to the original Bayonetta. Witch Time returns from the original, occurring when the player narrowly dodges an attack. Time slows down so the player can easily combo. The Torture Attacks also return, using up one magic gauge.
There is an Umbran Climax mode that uses up all the magic gauge to maximize damage and range. Bayonetta can tie elements to her attacks to do more damage to certain enemies.
Even larger Angels and Demons can be frozen. Bayonetta now has a mech that is fairly similar to her attack style. This was revealed during the Treehouse live stream during E3 2014.

Multiplayer[]
Announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2014, this mode is called Tag Climax. It is a 2 player co-op mode that can match the player up online, play locally with one on the Gamepad and the other on the screen, or with a CPU.
The players play on a stage together trying to get the most points. Players can bet halos to increase difficulty and raise the rewards.
