Media: Bayonetta - Opening, Transformation, Grace and Glory, and Featurette
October 29, 2009 | 3:14 PM PST

SEGA and Platinum Games have announced that the Western world will have to wait until January 5th to get their hands on Bayonetta (that is, unless you choose to import the region-free, English-speaking PS3 version), but that doesn't mean we can't check out more of the game in the meantime.

On that note, what better place to start than the game's opening sequence, which helps provide a little background narrative for the story?



Nice way to kick things off, but there's more to come. Up next: transformation! Just be warned, it might be considered not safe for work by some, but it's actually pretty tame, all told.



Wow, it's kind of like Sailor Moon... but made for adults.

Next, we have more gameplay in a video designed to show off the "graceful and glorious" combat stylings of Bayonetta:



Okay... did she just lightning kick a baddie, summon a portal, and put her foot through it so that it would come out of a bigger portal as a giant foot, smashing the thing?

Freaky.

Finally, there is a featurette known as "The Devil's in the Detail," which shows how the developers at Platinum Games went from creating a witch to creating Bayonetta:



Fighting angels and the sort is certainly an interesting change of pace. But what happens if you win?
