Bayonetta 3 character design

Bayonetta 3 lead facial animator Akifumi Sengan recently gave some insight into what it was like working on the game, including character designs.

With Bayonetta herself, Sengan pointed out how she has a new hair style for this title. The new entry also introduced a “cute” theme. That meant Sengan had to maintain the type of characterization Bayonetta is known for while also bringing along “that additional layer of cuteness.”

A Frog's Tale

A Kickstarter campaign previously opened for A Frog’s Tale, a turn-based RPG. It did quite well with the project exceeding its $50,000 target. In the end the amount actually stands at over $100,000, which was more than double the goal.

The crowdfunding campaign was held “to fund continued development of the playable demo version of A Frog’s Tale.” The team “set a reasonable goal amount with the intention of furthering development enough to land us the rest of the funding we need to complete the game from outside sources.” Thankfully, the goal was met, and a Switch version is an important target.

Bubble Bobble is the latest Arcade Archives title on Switch, and we have new gameplay. Hamster showed off the title during a live stream this week.

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered physical

A physical version of Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered is on the way to Switch in Asia, it’s been revealed. English support will be included.

Square Enix previously put the RPG on Switch, though it’s mostly been a digital release. With the new boxed copy though, collectors will be able to add a physical copy to their collection. Switch is a region free console, so the origin of where the game is purchased doesn’t really matter.

Wings of Bluestar release date

We now have a release date for Wings of Bluestar, the story-driven shoot ’em up from publisher Eastasiasoft and developer Shinu Real Arts. According to an eShop listing, it will be dropping on January 18.

Wings of Bluestar was announced for Switch nearly a year ago, with Eastasiasoft confirming it for Nintendo’s console in February 2022. There was some sort of delay along the way as it was initially planned for Spring 2022.

This week’s Switch eShop charts are as follows:
