10 Upcoming Video Games Being Sent Out To Die

Perhaps the most damning thing that can be said about Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is that, despite releasing in mere days at the time of press, it still doesn't have its own Wikipedia page.

Now, Bayonetta Origins doesn't look bad by any means - it simply looks like a modest prequel title that should probably be DLC or, at most, a £30 budget release.

Yet Nintendo is treating the game like a full-fat AAA project, charging £50 on the eShop no matter that it simply doesn't look as polished or expansive as you'd expect for that hefty price tag.

Even though early gameplay previews have skewed mostly positive, the inevitably divisive art style and some complaints about the finickiness of controlling two characters at once likely won't encourage anyone to splash out on day one.

That's without getting into the fact that Nintendo is notoriously stingy where sales are concerned.

Between all this and the fanbase's wildly polarised response to Bayonetta 3, it feels like the game doesn't stand a fighting chance right out of the gate.
