<p>During today&#8217;s Nintendo Direct Bayonetta, protagonist of the <em>Bayonetta</em> series, was revealed as the final member of the <em>Super Smash Bros.</em> Wii U and 3DS roster. In the results from the player fighter ballots earlier this year, Bayonetta ranked number 1 in Europe, in the top 5 in the US, and number 1 worldwide.</p>
<p>A large set of moves was also revealed for Bayonetta. In the direct, Bayonetta was labeled as a combination fighter as all of her moves may be used multiple times within a combo. If the player holds down a button following an attack, Bayonetta will shoot from a variety of her four guns. This attack may be integrated into combos as well. Some other notable moves include the character&#8217;s smash attack, Wicked Weaves, which allows Bayonetta to use her hair to summon a large limb from the Infernal Demon Madama Butterfly and her signature move, Witch Time, to slow down time around the opposing character. Bayonetta can even use a final smash called Infernal Climax, which allows Bayonetta to summon the Infernal Demon Gamorrah, who causes damage to all opponents and immediately KO&#8217;s any opponent with a damage amount over 100%.</p>
<p>Bayonetta will launch with 2 costumes: A blue costume from <em>Bayonetta 2</em> and a red one entitled &#8220;A Witch with No Memories&#8221; from the original game.</p>
<p>A new <em>Bayonetta</em> inspired stage entitled &#8220;Umbra Clock Tower&#8221; was also announced based on the falling clock tower from the opening scene of the original <em>Bayonetta</em> game; It is a flat platform with moving floating platforms surrounding it. In the middle of a match, you will see an army of angels when you enter Purgatorio. Songs for the Wii U game feature music from the two <em>Bayonetta</em> games and new compositions exclusive to <em>Super Smash Bros.</em></p>
<p>Bayonetta and the Umbra Clock Tower do not yet have a release date, but will be available for $5.99 on Wii U and 3DS, and $6.99 for both.</p>
<p>For all things <em>Super Smash Bros.</em>, video games, and just plain awesome, stick with BagoGames!</p>
