Bayonetta 2 gets Wii U demo before Western release

If you've been wondering what all the fuss was about with the upcoming Wii U exclusive sequel, Bayonetta 2, now you have a chance to find out, as Nintendo has released a demo for the game on the Wii U E-shop.

While the game has been available in Japan for a short while now - and not selling particularly well, though not as bad as many sites have made out - it's not getting an official release in Western markets until October 24.

The demo features a couple of stages from the final game, letting you get a feel for the combat mechanics and story telling.

If you're already frantically downloading the demo, here's a quick trailer released by Platinum Games today in honor of the demo's release. It certainly sets the tone of the game with smoking Santas, random nudity and of course over the top action.

Bayonetta 2 will release shortly, along with a 'definitive' edition of the original 2010 Bayonetta title.
