Wii U version of Bayonetta 1 makes a small change to Jeanne’s model
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Wii U | 44 Comments
There are a few differences in the Wii U version of Bayonetta 1 compared to the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games. There’s off-TV play and touchscreen support on the GamePad. A few Nintendo costumes are also included. As it turns out, PlatinumGames also made a change to Jeanne’s model.
As explained by the studio’s JP Kellams:
So much for Digital Foundry: they missed the biggest difference between the 360 and Wii U versions of Bayo. We fixed Jeanne’s chest size.

Kamiya wasn’t happy with the original model (chest was too big), so we made it smaller, like the concept art. 🙂

Bob Hoskins played Mario in the notorious Super Mario Bros. film from 1993. However, it sounds like Nintendo was originally seeking Danny DeVito for the role.
Take a look at this article from January 1991, which was shared by Console Wars author Blake J. Harris:

Video: Mario Kart 8 with Raspberry Pie makes for neat ambient light effects
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Random, Videos, Wii U | 2 Comments
This seems like a neat little thing. One gamer made use of Raspberry Pie tech so that ambient lights illuminating from behind the TV correspond to the colors from the game. You can find a couple of tutorial videos on putting the whole thing together here and here.
