A Pac-man double today, the first shot details the 3DS exclusive stage:

Pac-Maze is a stage exclusive to the 3DS version, created in the Pac-Man motif. If you eat 100 Pac-Dots, Power Pellets will appear in your color.

Sakurai continues, drawing focus to the series’ trademark power pellets:

If you eat a Power Pellet, the monsters will become vulnerable and you can defeat them just by touching them. An important point is that the monsters will become vulnerable only on your screen, which means that they can still damage your opponents!! This is one of the unique game features only possible in the 3DS version.

The latest blog post on the Platinum Games blog was translated over on NeoGAF and covers Damage Motion in Bayonetta 2. Here’s a summary:

• Blog post comes from Takaaki Yamaguchi, lead motion designer for Bayonetta 2
• Talks about what a Motion Designer does – Gives movement to anything in the game that requires motion
• Important to make sure characters don’t look like they’re stumbling around, making sure the main character feels right, making enemy movement comprehensible etc.
• Working on a sequel meant that everything from the original had to be carried over and if possible, made better
• The motion when landing a deathblow is defined by the right reaction from an enemy and is absolutely crucial in an action game
• If not done properly, the sense of satisfaction is incredibly deflated

If you’d like to see what Yamaguchi is talking about in action, check out the videos on the blog post.
