Bayonetta 3 Patch 1.3.0 (Improvement Proposal)


Bayonetta 3 Patch 1.3.0 (Improvement Proposal)
The Issue
First and foremost, I want to thank Nintendo, Sega, and PlatinumGames for creating Bayonetta 3. It's thanks to them that the series has been able to continue bringing about new stories full of innovation and deeply rich mechanics.
That said, the reason why I have created this petition is because I share the belief that Bayonetta 3 has not been able to reach its true potential on the Switch and Switch 2 console.
After speaking with several friends experienced about the games, I believe there are several adjustments that can be made for a potential 1.3.0 patch that can greatly improve the experience and deliver an even higher quality experience.
I'm aware that not every listed is possible, but I want to make Nintendo, Sega, and PlatinumGames aware that there is still great interest in the game from many passionate fans and that it could use a patch to enhance it even further using the suggestions I've listed down below.
Patch 1.3.0 (Switch and Switch 2)
- Able to select Jeanne on Cereza's chapters.
- Additional costumes for Cereza and Jeanne with color palettes. These include but are not limited to: D’arc, Nun, Queen, and Komachi. In Cereza’s case, there are two inaccessible costumes: Pink Sweater, and the Curtain Cruise Dress. In Jeanne’s, there are two inaccessible costumes: the Egyptian variant and the Bayonetta 2 Biker Suit.
- Adjust the witch time parry activation. A perfect parry witch time is capable of getting negated by performing another action related to parrying. For example, if I parry an attack, and it's meant to activate witch time, but I do a parry input again, the WT doesn't activate.
- Allow all Demon Slaves (except for Wartrain Gouon and Kraken) to immediately jump/attack upon summoning.
- Allow the ability of Ummbran Spear per weapon as opposed to one per jump to add more aerial combat options. To explain, when I’m in the air, two Umbran Spear actions should be possible by switching weapons.
- Deadly Sin Ritual Demons that Jeanne's color scheme (retextures).
- Disable the camera fix when enemies get guard crushed. Whenever an enemy gets stunned, the camera zooms on the enemy and the game slows down, ruining the flow of combos.
- Revert the slowdown effect from Viola's perfect block to 1.1.0. The slowdown effect added slows down the pacing of the gameplay.
- Slightly reduce the input buffer by a few frames.
Patch 1.3.0 (Switch 2)
- 1080p resolution when the Switch 2 is docked, 720p when portable.
- Improved resolution and 60fps for Jeanne's Side Chapters at the Gates of Hell.
- HDR support and enabling of anti-aliasing.
- Higher resolution textures for environments.
