Bayonetta 3 will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive

Bayonetta 3 will be coming soon as an exclusive for the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime teased the announcement and debuted the trailer for the game at The Game Awards. Platinum Games is developing it, which makes sense, since it’s the maker of the other Bayonetta games.

Nintendo didn’t show much, but clearly there will be a lot of bullets flying, either in slow motion or in bullet-hell style.
