Bayonetta/Trivia


 * Acclaimed Flop: As surprising as it may seem, the Xbox360 version didn't sell very well. For some reason, the PlayStation 3 version did better despite being criticized for its lack of finition.
 * Genius Bonus: All of Bayonetta's summons and torture attacks are evoked in Enochian, the language of angels.
 * Name's the Same: Angel Attack? The mini-game or the song from Neon Genesis Evangelion?
 * Interestingly enough, a few people have notice the standard angel mooks bear a suspicious similarity to the Production Evas in Evangelion, whose game adaptations were handled by SEGA...
 * On another note, Bayonetta makes use of the song "Fly Me To The Moon" in numerous epic combat sequences. The same song was covered over and over again for Neon Genesis Evangelion.
 * No Export for You: Not the game itself, at least for most territories, but the INCREDIBLE strategy guide by Future Games. High quality, hardcover, 420 pages...and due to a North American exclusivity deal with Brady Games, illegal for the company to sell to Americans or Canadians. Brady Games later declined to make a guide themselves due to not being able to complete their own guide by the time of the game's release, but the exclusivity deal still holds, meaning that the only way North Americans can get their hands on it is either by importing it or buying it on Ebay.
 * What Could Have Been: Along with the many SEGA and Capcom references already in the game, the dev team considered adding in Ulala from Space Channel 5 for a dance-off between her and Bayonetta. Unfortunately, legal rights came up and so they couldn't do it.
