Today Sakuari gives us a look at a Wii U exclusive stage from the Star Fox universe which is looking pretty chaotic:

Missiles are launched towards the Orbital Gate! The force field shields the machinery for a while, and the missiles eventually get shot down by team Star Fox. Overall, this stage feels like a ride. It’s pretty hectic, so hold on tight!

The Arwings are passing through the gate! And the fighters hop on for a free ride!!

Last week on Twitter, Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya commented further on the development of Bayonetta 2. As has been said before, the game was in a very troubled state before Nintendo stepped in.

Kamiya noted in his tweets that Bayonetta 2’s problems came about when it was initially with SEGA. Something happened when the project was in the works there, and development halted. The game was pitched to various publishers, though it seems that most declined picking up Bayonetta 2. However, Nintendo agreed to step in and development was only then able to proceed.

Head past the break for a full translation of Kamiya’s tweets. They’re quite interesting, even if some of the tidbits had been shared previously!

The Denpa Ningen no RPG Free success story continues. Genius Sonority announced today that the free-to-play title has now been downloaded over 1 million times. Having launched in Japan this past July, that mark was reached in roughly three months.
