Get Bayonetta In Wonderful 101 Easily With The Launch Of Its Demo

The Wonderful 101 Remastered is getting an extensive demo across all its release platforms, and it includes additional content and easy access to the Bayonetta-inspired character on all versions.

Titled the "Wonder-Sized Cadet Demo," the free version features the entirety of the game's prologue and all three acts of its first mission, giving you around two hours of play time to mess around with the game's distinct combat system. Developer Platinum Games says that any progress you make in the demo will carry over to the retail version of the game should you wish to purchase it.

The demo will also give you easy access to Wonder-Bayonetta, an in-game homage to another Platinum-developed title that was previously difficult to obtain. The character will be available from the start of the demo along with other additional in-game items.

If you've already invested in the retail version of Wonderful 101's remaster, then you can get the same in-game items using codes provided by Platinum Games. Using the code "UMBRANGIFT" will net you Wonder-Bayonetta and the same support items in the demo, while code "ANGELSLAYERS" will unlock both Wonder-Jeanne and Wonder-Rodin. Platinum Games has teased that it will be unlocking additional characters with similar codes in the future.

Originally released on the Wii U in 2013, Wonderful 101 still stands out with its frenetic combat and striking art style. It's somewhat less impressive in 2020, however, with GameSpot's Wonderful 101 Remastered review reading, "There's a great concept and the good combat mechanics we know Platinum can achieve in there, but you’ll need a lot of patience to find them."
