Nintendo didn’t have much to say about Bayonetta 2 during today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, but did understand that fans are anxious to hear more about the game and provided a small update in the form of a behind-the-scenes look at the development studio Platinum Games.

Some choice quotes heard throughout the video:

• “If this is supposed to be leather, I want to f ind a way to make it really look like leather.”
• “You have to constantly keep asking yourself what you are trying to express.”
• “There are lots of different locations this tie. But the trick is figuring out how to get the new locations to fit into Bayonetta’s world.
• “We really established what Bayonetta is all about in the first game. Now we are thinking about interesting new ideas to expand upon the essence of Bayonetta.”

‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Release Date & Battle Edition Revealed

Warner and DC Entertainment have announced that April 16 will mark the North American launch of Injustice: Gods Among Us on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U. Worldwide releases ensue on the 19th. Additionally, the game will be sold in two costlier varieties: the Injustice: Gods Among Us Collector’s Edition (announced last September), which will retail at $99.99, and the Injustice: Gods Among Us Battle Edition, which is slated to cost $149.99.

So does the prodigious pricing have its perks? Below are the contents of the $149.99 Battle Edition, which comes stocked with an exclusive, specially designed Injustice Fight Stick and three new skins for Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman straight out of DC’s The New 52 comics.

According to Warner Bros., the Fight Stick boasts a lightweight construction with a non-skid foam underside; a lockout feature for the Start, Select and Guide buttons; and adjustable illumination for the buttons and joystick. With Injustice’s two-dimensional gameplay, you can’t go wrong on mechanics; with NetherRealm’s success in the Mortal Kombat franchise, we’re hoping the same can be said for quality.

Nintendo Wii U Will Be Disappointingly Region Locked

 

Nintendo has always maintained its region lock policy for most of its console, hence its no surprise that their new upcoming console – the Nintendo Wii U will be region locked as well.

Its always a disappointment when Nintendo choose to region lock their consoles, unlike Sony and Microsoft. My personal thought was that it would affect sales since its proves a hassle for gamers residing outside Japan but whom would like to play Japanese version of the game.
