Stealth Inc 2 will take up roughly 300MB of space on your Wii U system or external hard drive. A fairly small game, all things considered!

Stealth Inc 2 is a couple of more weeks away from launching. It’s due out on October 30.

PlatinumGames has posted a new Bayonetta 2 blog post covering the game’s character design.

First, check out a few excerpts below:

After acquiring the Super Mirror 2, Bayonetta can become an Umbran Gekka, Policewoman, Schoolgirl… They’re what’d you’d call “unlockable costumes.”

The basic design process I went through for these costumes was to brainstorm with Hashimoto and think about what costumes the fans would like. Then, out of those, Kamiya, Hashimoto, and I each chose a costume of our liking.

For the first Bayonetta, Kamiya was the director, so he chose the P.E. Uniform.

For Bayonetta 2, Hashimoto was the director, and he chose the Umbran Gekka.

Kamiya admitted that he probably indulged himself a bit too much when he made his choices for the first Bayonetta, so he chose something with a bit more mass appeal for this game: the policewoman. Hashimoto chose the Umbran Gekka, and I chose the schoolgirl outfit.

The process taught us about each other’s individual preferences, which was fun.

And be sure to read the full thing here with lots of information (and extra clips).

New entries in the Pokemon series tend to introduce brand new regions. Generation 1, for example, brought us Kanto. There has also been Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos.

Something that could be interesting is a Pokemon game the encompasses all of the major regions we’ve seen thus far. Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda appears to be open to the possibility, though the team would need to “could come up with a way to really make that interesting”.

Masuda told Kotaku:

If we could come up with a way to really make that interesting, then it’s something we’d implement – but for me, personally, as a theory, I think it would be more fun for us all to enjoy different locations and then share that experience together than all have the same experience in the same region.

Homebrew for 3DS seemed like it was just on the horizon back in August. However, creator Smealum ended up delaying the release in light of the New 3DS announcement.

Smealum now has a New 3DS in his possession, and is already working on getting homebrew up and running on the system. Thus far, it looks like he’s having success.

Smealum shared the following message and image on Twitter yesterday:
