SEGA announces Bayonetta special edition

SEGA of Europe has announced a special edition of the upcoming Bayonetta, which includes the game, a hardcover art book and a soundtrack. Bayonetta, an action game developed by Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya, is scheduled for release in January. The special edition is expected to be announced for the North American continent as well.

Bayonetta coming on January 5th

Back in July we learned that Bayonetta would be getting its release date pushed back to January 2010 but did not know of an exact date. Luckily, we now know that the title will be making its way onto store shelves on January 5th in the US and January 8th in Europe.

If you know nothing about Bayonetta, just know that Famitsu recently gave the game the first ever perfect score for an Xbox 360 title. Need I say any more?

Famitsu gives Bayonetta first ever Xbox 360 perfect score

Famitsu, one of the premiere Japanese gaming magazines, has been known to be extremely critical when they review various titles. In fact, up until now they have not awarded an Xbox 360 game with a perfect score.

Today, it was made known that the lucky Xbox 360 title that will be getting a perfect score from Famitsu is none other than Sega’s Bayonetta.

Haven’t played Bayonetta yet? Well, that’s no surprise as it doesn’t hit North American shelves until January 2010.

Bayonetta delayed to January

The delays these days seem to be nonstop. Today, Sega announced that Bayonetta will be joining those titles and will be pushed back to January 2010.

“Bayonetta is an extremely important new IP for SEGA and adds a new level of depth to our growing portfolio. As a result of market analysis we have taken a Publishing decision that January 2010 is the optimum release time in the Western Markets to maximize this exciting new title’s potential,” said Mike Hayes, President and COO for SEGA West.

If you live in Japan or are planning to import, the game is still scheduled for an October 29th release for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
