At E3 2014, it was also announced that a Wii U port of the original ''Bayonetta'' would come with the Special and First Print Editions of the sequel. However, as of 2015, ''Bayonetta 2'' had only sold roughly the same number of units on the Wii U as its predecessor had on each of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. During and following this release, Kamiya had repeatedly shot down questions and requests on social media on whether [[Bayonetta (SSB4)|Bayonetta]] herself would be included in the roster of Nintendo's crossover fighting game ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' - released roughly the same time - but despite this, Bayonetta was revealed as the final downloadable fighter for the game at the end of 2015 as (according to Sakurai) the winner and most-requested character of the Fighter Ballot. | Regardless, ''Bayonetta 2'' was released late 2014 to near-universal acclaim, with reviewers commenting that it set a new standard for action games and praising how it refined problematic elements from the first game, such as improved art direction, tighter pacing, and the removal of frustrating quick-time events.
