If you buy Bayonetta 2 first, you can nab the original for about $10 conversely, buying the first Bayonetta will drop the price of Bayonetta 2 to about $30. However, purchasing either one of them will entitle you to an automatic discount on the other, bringing the total cost for both games to $59.98 (before tax)-about the same price as the physical release. On the Eshop, each game is available for a different price: Bayonetta 2 costs $50, while the original Bayonetta runs for $30. While it appears it would cost more to buy the games digitally than at retail, getting both together will still work out to the same price, thanks to an offer from Nintendo. Those who pick up a physical copy of Bayonetta 2 will receive a download code for the first title, but the two games will only be sold individually on the Switch Eshop. The Secret of Mana re-release for PlayStation 4 landed down in 24th place, while Monster Energy Supercross swerved to 25th.Bayonetta 2 is now available on Nintendo Switch, and alongside it, Nintendo and Platinum Games have brought the original Bayonetta to the console as well. Other new entries in the chart included Kingdom Come Deliverance, in at second place behind FIFA 18, and Dynasty Warriors 9 in 13th place.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Bayonetta series' biggest physical launch to date remains the original Bayonetta's 2010 arrival for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, in the prime of both console's life. Bayonetta 2's physical edition still requires you to download Bayonetta 1 (you only get a download code). It's likely a higher percentage of Switch sales came via downloads, which UK numbers company Chart-Track does not track. Perhaps there was not enough new in the port to convince Bayonetta fans it was worth double dipping so soon? Digital Foundry last week examined whether this new Switch edition was the definitive version. The Platinum-developed Bayonetta 2 (which includes a copy of Bayo 1) landed fifth in the UK chart - the game's highest chart placing to date, albeit one achieved with fewer physical sales. Bayonetta 2 sold fewer physical copies at launch for Nintendo Switch this week than it did when it arrived on Wii U.
