We don’t know when–or if–Bayonetta will return in a new video game, but at the very least, you can catch one of her adventures on your TV right now thanks to this new Amazon deal. The anime film adaptation of the iconic witch, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, just got a big discount for a limited time, as you can grab this Blu-ray for just $13 (was $20). This is a limited-time deal, so you won’t want to dawdle on grabbing a great discount here.
$13 (was $20)
First released in 2013, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate featured stunning animation by one of the best studios in the business, Gonzo. The anime powerhouse brought the video game to life in this film, packing it full of over-the-top action scenes and smooth animation. If you’ve watched any of Gonzo’s previous films–like Afro Samurai: Resurrection or the 2001 Hellsing series–you’ll have a good idea of what to expect here.
For the bonus materials, this Blu-ray offers the original trailers, a closer look at the storyboards, and commentary from several of the actors. A loose adaptation of the games and set within its own continuity, Bloody Fate sees Bayonetta travel to the European town of Vigrid to stop the last Lumen Sage, Balder, from destroying the world.
Bayonetta Game Deals
All four Bayonetta games, including the spin-off puzzle-focused prequel, are available on Nintendo Switch. We’ve rounded up a list of Bayonetta Switch game deals below. Unfortunately, the second game in the series tends to sell for around $60 in physical format. If you want physical editions of all four, you can sometimes save some cash by opting for a region-free imported edition of Bayonetta 2.
Bayonetta has been a Nintendo exclusive since 2014’s Bayonetta 2, but the debut game launched on Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2010. In 2017, Bayonetta received a PC remaster that retails for only $20. Right now, you can get a Steam key for just $5.49 at GameSpot sister site Fanatical.
Bayonetta is just one of many video games that have gotten an anime adaptation over the years. Pokemon’s animated and cinematic adventures have been running for decades now, while Netflix’s superb Castlevania animated series has been a delightful mix of sharp action and even sharper dialogue.
There have also been a few experimental projects based on video games, like the Final Fantasy 7 sequel Advent Children, and if you’re looking for something that raised the bar when it was first released, the ’90s Street Fighter 2 anime movie still stands tall as a prime example.
If you’re looking to grab some of these Blu-rays–or a few nostalgic treats like Digimon–you can check our list below for a sampling of what’s available right now through Amazon.
