Metal gear Rising: Revengeance still isn’t on Xbox One dammit, but Bayonetta is

Everyone has that one video game developer that they swear by. A studio that they’ll viciously defend in even the dankest pits of a 4Chan thread where someone has something negative to say about the games that your favourite company produces. For me, that’s Platinum. A company whose games have never, ever been bad. Ever. NOPE.

Jokes aside, I’ve got a lot of love for Platinum. Games such as Transformers: Devastation, Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance have made me think that they’re the go-to guys when it comes to cranking out action masterpieces. One of those pieces of fine art action is of course Bayonetta, an epic title of mayhem and Baysplosions that featured an iconic leggy witch.

It’s one of the very best action games you’ll ever play, even several years after release. And it’s now backwards compatible on Xbox One, alongside several other games. Here’s the list of games that joined that retro catalogue this week:

Bayonetta (3)

  • Bayonetta
  • Arkanoid Live
  • De Blob 2
  • QIX++
  • Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue
  • Bejeweled 3
  • Gatling Gears

That brings the total number of games available on Xbox One via backwards compatibility up to over 230 games so far, with no signs of slowing down. Remember, if you own either a physical or digital version of an Xbox 360, you’ll be able to download the game to your hard drive.

    I’m waiting for Asura’s Wrath. I skipped the last gen consoles so never got a change to play it.
    I’m hoping to get a go at it through backwards compatibility.
