A new update has been released for Bayonetta 3 on Nintendo Switch, bringing the game up to version 1.2.0. This update is fairly substantial, and actually makes some parts of the game easier than they were before. Most notably, several Nifelheim stages have had their difficulty level lessened; in some cases, that translates to an increased time limit, while in other cases players have more lives to complete each stage. There are also a handful of bug fixes, which should make things run a bit smoother! Full patch notes from Nintendo’s official website can be found below:
- Block activation window added after releasing Block (during the release animation).
- Added an additional animation when Witch Time takes effect, making its activation easier to realize.
- The allotted duration of Witch Time, and its activation window have been lengthened.
- Now, when block is activated when player is attacked, player will receive damage effect, but block will succeed and activate Witch Time.
- Now, combo can continue (with Dodge Offset) when player uses Block to activate Witch Time.
- If the Block input is used repeatedly, the granted Witch Time duration will decrease.
*P is Punch, and K is Kick
“Tricolored Keys” will be automatically available on the chapter select screen once it becomes possible to access the “Gates of Hell”.
Time limits have been increased, and difficulty has been lowered.
Golem Chest fragmenting animation can now be fast-forwarded with the B-button.
