Talk:Bayonetta 2/@comment-11584687-20140617134445

I think I know why $ega changed the box art for Bayonetta 2. When Platinum Games signed on with the contract for $ega, all $ega did was screw them over:

Madworld's ads were hardly aired.

Bayonetta got far less advertising in the West than it did in Japan, and not only less advertising, but also worse advertising. Compare the Japanese ads to the American ad, you'll notice that the American ad feels incredibly boring compared to the Japanese ads.

Infinite Space and Vanquish got NO advertising outside of Japan whatsoever. Worse, Vanquish ends on a cliffhanger, and because sales were shit, the cliffhanger will never be resolved (unless Nintendo steps in and revives the sequel like what they did with Bayonetta 2)

Anarchy Reigns was delayed in the West by half a year and $ega refuses to let patches be released.

And then when Nintendo picked up Bayonetta 2, $ega tried to sabotage the game by telling customers that it's simply a port of the first game. (Proof )

So it's quite obvious why they changed the box art behind Nintendo and Platinum's backs.
