Bayonetta’s glasses are an iconic part of the character’s look, but if things had gone in a different direction, they could have been removed.
That information comes from series creator Hideki Kamiya. Kamiya was responding to one fan asking about an older interview quote that stated “Bayonetta’s glasses are just like her underwear”. He confirmed that someone else said that – specifically animation director Yuji Shimomura. However, Kamiya also did say that there were publisher requests to have Bayonetta’s glasses removed.

Nearly a year after the case first started, a verdict has been reached in Nintendo’s lawsuit against EveryGameGuru, who previously streamed pirated and emulated Switch games.
The case against EveryGameGuru (Jesse Keighin) received quite a bit of attention given how defiant he was against the company. Although his channels were shut down, that didn’t deter things at all. Keighin informed his audience about how to pirate games and wasn’t taking things seriously. Nintendo mentioned in its initial lawsuit that “he sent Nintendo a letter boasting that he has ‘a thousand burner channels’ to stream from and [he] ‘can do this all day.'”

The game features over 200 songs that have been rearranged from throughout the Super Mario series. Many Mario Kart games are represented, but also other classics like Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros., and much more. Of course, there are original tracks as well.
