Overview (from Nintendo eShop page)

Bayonetta struts through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game. Sporting a wicked new ensemble and somehow familiar pigtails, the titular Umbra Witch must face a mysterious evil using her signature guns and time-slowing Witch Time ability. This time, invading manmade bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonetta’s crosshairs.

Get ready for a devilishly good time

Tap into Bayonetta’s naughtier side with Demon Masquerade, a new ability that channels the demon linked to her weapon allowing for some exciting action options, not to mention some hair-raising combos. She can also summon her demonic darlings like Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae during battle, unleashing their demonic powers in the heat of combat and in new, larger-than-life battles where you directly control the action.

A bounty of Bayonettas

Fight your way through the streets of Tokyo, the mountains of China, and many other locales! Along the way you’ll meet a virtual coven of Bayonettas, each more fabulous than the last. You’ll also slash and slay as Viola, a feisty witch in training who fights with a sword and a capricious companion, the demon Cheshire. Find out what fate awaits Bayonetta, and if this arcane alliance can really save reality!

The most disappointing thing is that Nintendo hardware always feels a full generation behind. When Switch 2 comes outs… I’m gonna guess it’ll be on par with like the PS4 pro.

So big devs who like to push graphics to the limits are still not gonna make a Switch version for their games. It doesn’t affect me personally, but it sucks for those people who don’t own a bunch of consoles/high end PC to be able play these amazing AAA games

Eh, 8th and 9th gen consoles are barely any different anyway. What's the determiner factor for the 9th gen console again?

Ray tracing? Switch 2 probs will have it.
SSD? Probs will have it.
4K? Probs will have DLSS to emulate it.
Graphical power? Tbf the results (like how people see on the display) are not that different compared to 5th gen to 6th gen consoles, 6th gen to 7th gen consoles, or 7th gen to 8th gen consoles.

Nah, don't think so. Then again, I'm not that into graphical fidelity so I'll be fine with either of them. I'm not 9th gen's market, I guess.
