A double dose of Smash Run news today, Sakurai details some of the enemy variants that will appear in the mode:

Here’s a Poppant, an enemy that appeared in the previous game in this series. Poppants will appear in Smash Run, scampering around as they drop a variety of items.

He continues with the second shot:

There are other bonus characters that appear in this game, too. Here’s an Iridescent Glint Beetle from the Pikmin series. Keep hitting it!! Keep hitting it for gold!!

Being a developer that works with Nintendo has, in the past, been considered something of a novelty for independent companies. Before WiiWare existed on Wii there wasn’t much of a way to get your game published on a Nintendo platform without a “proper” publisher, and even with Nintendo’s digital offerings on Wii and DSi things remained relatively closed off.

Now, with Wii U and 3DS, game development is open and independent developers have brought out masses of titles to the two platforms. But what’s it like to work with Nintendo? Is there any hint of their shielded past nowadays, or have things loosened up so much that such a past is indistinguishable?

“Willing to help” seems to be the common theme across all three of our entries in this week’s ‘Developer Musings’ series. Of course, there does seem to be some of that traditional red tape still involved– head past the break for comments from Dakko Dakko (Scram Kitty), Ludosity (Ittle Dew), and Nyamyam (Tengami).

(Unsure as to what Developer Musings is about? Check out our first entry here for an explanation.)

The Wii U and 3DS eShops will be affected by maintenance on Monday. Between 4 PM ET and 8 PM ET (1 PM PT and 5 PM PT), both stores will be inaccessible, as will the Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop.

We’ll also mention quickly that all of Nintendo’s online shops have been experiencing issues since 5:59 PM ET / 3:59 PM PT. The company is working on the situation and hopes to have all services completely restored soon.

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.
