Bayonetta 1 & 2 compared to the Wii U versions | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Bayonetta 1 & 2 compared to the Wii U versions](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/bayonetta-1-2-compared-to-the-wii-u-versions.jpeg "Bayonetta 1 & 2 compared to the Wii U versions")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/bayonetta-1-2-compared-to-the-wii-u-versions.jpeg)If you’ve enjoyed the insanely over-the-top and brilliant Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Wii U then you may be interested to see how the Nintendo Switch versions run in comparison.

There aren’t any hugely noticeable differences but it would seem as though the Nintendo Switch iterations load up much quicker which surely is a nice added bonus.

There are, however, some slight shadow and lighting quality differences between the two systems and some of the smaller details on the Switch versions come across a tad sharper.

Take a look at the comparison videos below for yourself to see how they run side-by-side.
