Nintendo and Platinum Games showcased the first gameplay footage of their upcoming action title, Bayonetta 2 today at Nintendo’s much anticipated E3 conference. Bayonetta 2 has seen a great deal of controversy since it was announced last year as a Wii U exclusive, but seeing the warrior witch return sporting a a shiny coat of HD visuals and even more over-the-top action than the PS3 and Xbox 360 original may cut the game’s detractors down to size (not unlike the trigger-happy heroines foxy new pixie cut).

The trailer is an epic as fans of Platinum Games other titles may expect. Featuring massive monsters, flashy fighting, and balls to the wall action. From a daring duel to atop a fighter jet soaring through a busting metropolis to a wall-running battle against a gigantic demon on the face of a ruined skyscraper, the combat seems just as fast, frenetic and full of white knuckle thrills the company is known for. Bayonetta 2 looks like it could be the first true killer app on the Wii U targeted towards core gamers.

Fans can expect to get their fix of angel crushing action when Bayonetta 2 lands on the Wii U in 2014.
