No surprises here, today Sakurai has another pair of 3DS screenshots again focusing on more menus:

And here’s the results screen. It shows what you gained in each stage, but you won’t be rewarded until you clear it all. If you mess up in the middle, you can lose some of them too. The fighter icons are special attacks, and icons like the shield are equipment. The icons that say Mii on them are hats and clothes for Mii characters. Icons that show characters on a stand are trophies, of course, and the coins are gold you earned.

Inti Creates has interest in making a sequel to Azure Striker Gunvolt. However, whether or not this actually happens in the future will be determined by sales of the first game and “how active and loud the fans are”.

Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu told Siliconera:

Obviously, as a developer, we put our heart and soul into Gunvolt, and so the idea of doing a sequel is exciting—but that’s a kind of high-level feeling we have right now.

In terms of ideas or core concepts we’d like to include in a potential sequel, we haven’t thought that far or deep yet. The cold, hard reality is, the key things that are going to determine whether there’s a sequel or not is how Gunvolt does in terms of sales and how active and loud the fans are about there being a sequel. If those two things are in place? Sure! We’d love to do it!

A new clip from Bayonetta 2’s Tag Climax mode can be found above. You’ll also find a summary of information below, which includes a few bits about the Fox McCloud costume.

Fox McCloud costume

– Game refers to it as Star Mercenary
– If you select the guns, the weapons change into Arwing-shaped blasters
– Slash with them
– If you perform a combo, the classic Star Fox shooting sound emits
– Lock-on cursor is the one from Star Fox

Tag Climax

– Cooperative competitive mode
– Each character works together to defeat hordes of enemies while also striving to get the most points
– Each match has 6 missions
– The ones that you can choose are unlocked throughout the game
– These are formed from previous encounters in the story mode and put on a new spin on them to make a bit more challenging
– Choose the amount of Halos to bet beforehand
– Bet more Halos to increase the chaotic nature of the battle
– If the other person falls down and you don’t revive your opponent in 15 seconds, you both lose automatically
– All the Halos you earned in previous missions are worthless and you have to start over
– Play with friends or random opponents
– If you don’t have many online friends, you are kind of forced to play it against the computer
– Can’t play locally
