 Hey everyone, today we're going to talk about a game that wasn't actually talked about at E3 2021, but was a game announced back in 2017. Yeah, we're not talking about Metro Prime though, I mean, I know that's what you probably were hoping this video was about, but you've seen the title. Before we get into this video, I have to remind you that we have a current giveaway going on. We are giving away two copies of Skyward Sword HD. I've had it on the description, there'll be details on how to enter. I wish everyone luck and we'll have those winners picked the day before Skyward Sword HD comes out. That's right folks, today we're going to be talking about Bayonetta 3. This game was announced back at the Game Awards in 2017 and I feel like every single year I keep predicting it's going to reappear at the Game Awards again and then it doesn't. So that sucks, but we keep getting these updates about how it's progressing well. But there's always been these little tidbits here and there that make us feel like, is it really? Camilla recently, this was like a few months back, was like, hey look, we'd love to talk more about this game, but we just can't, we actually can't talk more about this game. Why can't we talk more about this game? Well, because Nintendo won't let us, Nintendo is in control of it, Nintendo decides everything. So Nintendo finally actually opened up and talked about this game a little bit. But before we do, I want to mention that Camilla himself seems to be fairly annoyed. This is according to a Kotaku article, but he actually put this out on Twitter and I'm going with Kotaku because they have actual translators, not Google Translate. And he's really annoyed with people asking about this game. I think he, of all people, really want this game unveiled so you can just stop being pestered about it. But here's what he wrote on Twitter according to Kotaku. He said, I get why people say, hurry up and release info or show us something. But reckless remarks like, has development stopped or I guess it's been delayed, are nothing but annoying public waste. Camilla replied to tweets by those suggesting the development had stopped, calling those Twitter users KusoBaka aka FN Idiots. He did seem irritated with the speculation, especially because he's previously indicated things are progressing well. And Camilla on Twitter is a bit of a hot fire. He says a lot of rude things. He blocks people just for speaking in different languages. Yeah, he's pretty aggressive in how he reacts on Twitter. And people sometimes have followed it, seeing how fast they can get banned by Camilla. And he sometimes plays around with them with it, toys with them before finally banning them or blocking them, I guess I should say. So yeah, it's very interesting just seeing that he is annoyed. And I bet you Camilla is annoyed. I'm sure it's got to be kind of like Sakurai who's always pestered on Twitter and other social platforms all the time. Who's going to add to Smash? Why didn't you do this with Smash? Why didn't you add this? Why didn't you add that? Why didn't you add the same thing about Bayonetta pretty much every term by Nintendo fans? Hey, why haven't we seen it? Is development going okay? We keep telling you it's progressing well, but you know, because you haven't seen it, it means that there's problems. And to be clear, it's not necessarily without warrants. If you kind of look at Platinum, yes, they got Astro Chainout, which was absolutely fantastic. But Platinum hasn't exactly kept their spotless record going of late. Obviously, Microsoft ended up cancelling the scale bound on them after it was going way over budget and just wasn't coming along the way Microsoft hoped. So they eventually said screw up, we're pulling the plug, we're not going to keep sinking money into something we don't think Platinum, yes, Platinum Games is actually going to finish. And then we recently saw Babylon's fall during E3. And while it looked impressive the first time around, the second time they've shown it at E3, it didn't quite blow people's socks off like they were expecting. So that doesn't mean it's going to end up being a bad game. We don't know the games I hear yet. But the point is that obviously Platinum had a reputation for basically releasing hit after hit, even if it was often hits that don't sell very well. The wonderful 101 is an amazing game, but it didn't sell very well. But you could always come up with quality experiences and some of that reputation feels a bit tarnished and not people are worried, well, hey, Babylon's fall didn't look that great. You just canceled scale bound or at least had it canceled on you because you were failing to meet expectations and development. You know, it is kind of, it is banned out of 3 in development hell. Is that why we haven't seen it? And to be fair, it's been four years. From announcement to four years later, we still haven't seen the game. It feels odd. But Nintendo swooping in finally to talk, right? And this comes from an interview on YouTube posted by Video Game Chronicles. And yeah, GamesRadar had some things to ask. This is the people who performed the interview on YouTube. And they asked Nate Bildorf and Bill Trinan, both from Nintendo. Nintendo Treehouse in specific, although obviously Bill Trinan's actually risen up the ranks and has a slightly altered position, but he still obviously works in Treehouse here and there. He was originally a games translator. And you guys might remember him from the past. He used to be the official translator for Miyamoto, Aji Anomo, and others at big events like E3. But he's obviously moved on to bigger roles at Nintendo. And GamesRadar said, where is Bayonetta 3? Does it still exist or dying out here? Are you going to show it to us again? What's the deal here? We never really saw it in the first place. So again, it's kind of weird. We saw a pre-cut CGI with the logo. It was just, it was basically the Metro 5.4 logo all over again. Nate Bildorf says, it definitely still exists. I can confirm it. Okay. I mean, that's good. But what did Bill Trinan say? He wanted to go a step further. I will even go one further and say, not only does it exist, but it's progressing well. There's that word again. Progressing well. Bill Trinan, come on. We like to show things whenever we're ready to show them. And certainly, we'd like to show things when the developers are ready to show them. So we didn't have it at E3, but stay tuned. So either Nintendo's not ready to show it or the developers aren't ready to show it. The developers previously said Nintendo's not ready to show it, but they're ready to show it. And now he's saying that, hey, we might not be ready to show it, but they might not be ready to show it. It's really, it's a really weird thing. But in E3 exists, I think that was the big thing to take away from this little snippet of the interview is, in E3 still exists. It's not vaporware. It's not going to be in development hell or it isn't in development hell, at least they're not saying it is. He repeated the words progressing well, but Bill Trinan's like, hey, okay, we're going to show it when we're ready to show it. And later on, it was basically hinted by Bill Trinan. Basically, there's not, there's not an exact quote here in the interview. The interview basically suggests what Bill, Bill Trinan heavily suggested that he has seen Bayonetta 3. So he won't give any details, of course, but I mean, I would assume, you know, Bill Trinan, who's working his way up the ladder at Nintendo of America, probably has seen most of what Nintendo has coming up in the next couple of years, including Bayonetta 3, which I obviously think Bayonetta 3 is probably going to end up being a 2022 title, how that slots in with all the other big 2022 titles. I don't know. But yeah, it's been a long time since we've had Bayonetta, and it feels weird that we were able to turn around and get such a quick turnaround on Bayonetta 2 on Wii U, and it's taken even longer for Switch. There's some speculation around that. Some people are wondering if, you know, Platinum wanted a bit more power to do some interesting things, and maybe it's being pushed and pushed and pushed, waiting for that supposed Switch Pro. I know it hurts to even mention the name Switch Pro. New Nintendo Switch, maybe we should call it that for now. The supposed new Nintendo Switch. But yeah, I don't I don't really know. Nobody knows about Nintendo and obviously Platinum and nobody's talking. Nobody's willing to give us any details other than the game exists. It's progressing well. Some people have seen it and that's about it. That's what we're going to get. Stay tuned. That I don't know. I feel like it's not going to get unveiled this year. Maybe it does. Maybe this is the year we say, hey, we're finally going to get it unveiled. The actual gameplay at the Game Awards 2021. Maybe. Then maybe not. This is such a such a confusing situation. Anyways, before I get into this video. Anyways, I want to thank you guys for tuning in. You're not going to see much of me tonight. I won't be streaming tonight. I don't believe I'm going to have a video tomorrow. I don't think I'm going to have time. Tomorrow is my sister's wedding. Today, later today, we have rehearsal and all the jazz and the actual wedding tomorrow that goes all, you know, start. Everything starts in the morning. You guys have you've never been on a wedding? I don't know if you understand how it works. Everything starts in the morning, even though the wedding's in the afternoon and you have the reception going on the other way to midnight. And then obviously I'm in the wedding. So I got to be at the gift opening the next day on Sunday. So my Sunday is pretty full up as well, although I might get a chance to rest in there sometime, but I don't know if I'll get a video out. So it might be a weekend without videos, but it is what it is. Family first. So thank you guys for tuning in. I hope you guys end up having an amazing weekend yourself. And I'll catch you in the next video or stream or whatever comes next.
