Square Enix is hosting a new sale on the Switch eShop, and games such as Chocobo GP, the Kingdom Hearts cloud titles, and Voice of Cards are at their lowest prices yet. The usual releases like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are included.

The full list of deals is as follows:

Bayonetta nudity

Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya has reaffirmed that Nintendo has never requested to make the series less risqué.

The Naive Angel Mode was revealed for Bayonetta 3 earlier this month. When it’s enabled, the character won’t reveal as much skin. However, its inclusion doesn’t have anything to do with a specific request from Nintendo based on Kamiya’s comments.

He wrote on Twitter this week:
