Earlier this month, Nintendo launched something called “Nintendo News” on its Japanese website. Think of it as a weekly online magazine in a way.

The latest issue, posted a few days ago, features some comments from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma who reflected on the series. Aonuma spoke in one part about how discovering treasure is one of Zelda’s most enjoyable aspects.

On the topic of finding things when you go on an adventure, Aonuma said:

My son is in elementary school, and he asked, “What is so fun about Zelda anyway?” I tell him, “Finding treasure is the most fun!” Even if it is only one rupee inside the treasure chest, I think (laughs). Whenever you find a treasure chest, there is always a “Yes! I found it!”-sense of accomplishment, and when you open it, it is just so fun to hear. To discover a new item, I think I find pleasure in both the surprise and the opening.

Seems like this is purely a cosmetic change. When wearing the Daisy costume, Bayonetta acts very much like she does when wearing the Peach outfit.

Thanks to Shashwat Pant for the tip.

4 Corner Games has shared a bunch of new information regarding “I’ve Got to Run!”. We have news pertaining to additional DLC, patch, the European release, and a newly revealed 3DS version. Developer 4 Corner Games has also announced a new project “MMM”.

Here’s the full rundown:

Final two DLC modes announced

Patch info:

• Reconfirmed support for the Wii U Pro Controller
• Totally new menu system (no supporting assets yet, they’re on the way as I make progress)

European launch:

• Still in the works
• Will be version 1.1 at launch

I’ve Got to Run: Complete Edition!

• Coming to PC, Mac, and Linux platforms first, followed by a release on Nintendo 3DS and another platform (that I can’t announce yet)

PlatinumGames has revealed three Nintendo costumes for Bayonetta 1: Link, Samus, and Peach. At least one more original outfit will be included in the game based on the screenshot above.

Thanks to some detective work done by the folks on NeoGAF, Bayonetta may also feature a Daisy costume. The emblem on the right side of the image seems to match up well with the character’s icon associated with Daisy, posted below:

Not confirmed by any means, but it’s a good sign.

A new round of Devil’s Third quotes from producer Yoshifuru Okamoto have come in from a Game Informer preview. Okamoto commented on Nintendo’s involvement with the game, how the GamePad is used, and customization (Mario options probably aren’t likely!).

Head past the break for some interview excerpts. You can find the full discussion on Game Informer.
