Hideki Kamiya on Bayonetta and Nintendo’s involvement, Bayonetta 3
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In a series of messages posted on Twitter, PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya spoke about Bayonetta and Nintendo’s involvement. He was a director on the first game, contributed to the second title, and may have some involvement with the third entry.
Kamiya recalled how, originally, Bayonetta 2 was considered for multiple platforms when it was in development as part of a collaboration with SEGA. However, the game was put on hold because of “circumstances” at the company. After Nintendo stepped in, PlatinumGames was able to finish development, and the rights are with the Big N and SEGA. Nintendo actually allowed the Japanese voice track created for the Wii U version of Bayonetta to be included in the PC version.

Bloober Team reveals how they are implementing HD rumble in Layers of Fear: Legacy
Posted on 7 years ago by Tyler(@tylerlelliott) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
The psychological horror game Layers of Fear: Legacy is set for a release on Switch February 21. With just little over a week from release, Bloober Team, the game’s developer, has detailed how the Switch’s unique HD Rumble feature will be used in the game in conjunction with the Joy-Con:
Probably the one feature that will stand out immediately will be the ability to open a door or a drawer by the swing of your hand. We have been working with the rumble feature for some time, trying to tune it to an output that won’t spoil the discreet atmosphere of our horror game with over-rumbling (a reaction you would expect to follow a jump scare), but preserving a distinct tactile experience, while exploring the game’s environment.
SNK aims to have “no differences” between Switch and PS4 versions of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy
Posted on 7 years ago by Tyler(@tylerlelliott) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last week, Hey Poor Player conducted an interview with the director of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, Kaito Soranaka, and the game’s producer, Yasuyuki Oda, to discuss SNK’s upcoming fighting game. During the interview, Oda explained that the development team is working to ensure that there are “no differences” between the Switch and PS4 versions of the game, but that they have had some “growing pains” while developing for Nintendo’s console.
Oda: First off, we’d like to state that we are working hard to make sure that there is no difference between the two platforms the game will be released on. We will say that there are growing pains while developing on the Switch because it’s our first time working with the hardware. That being said, everything we encountered we’ve anticipated beforehand because of those growing pains.

Owlboy will be out tomorrow in most regions around the world. But in Japan, it’s available right now.
Nintendo Everything reader m_t purchased the game, and tells us that video capture is supported. That means you can record 30-second gameplay videos similar to some other titles on Switch. Thankfully, this is built in, and we won’t have to wait for a future patch to make the functionality available.
