Bayonetta Origins pre-order bonus

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is only a couple of months away, and with that in mind we’re starting to hear about pre-order bonuses for the game. We’ll keep this post updated as information on that front is shared in the coming weeks.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon comes just a few months after Bayonetta 3. This title is taking an entirely different approach for the series, however. As the name implies, this is more of an origin story in which players go on a journey to save Cereza’s mother. It has a more colorful, storybook-inspired look with a focus on exploration, combat, and puzzle solving.

A new sales update for Monster Hunter Rise has just been disclosed by Capcom. We now know the game has sold over 12 million units worldwide across all versions of the game, which is being commemorated with the artwork featured above.

Monster Hunter Rise initially released on Switch in March 2021, receiving its Sunbreak expansion (which recently reached another sales milestone) in June 2022. The game was also released on PC in January 2022 and just recently received Playstation and Xbox ports a few weeks ago, which likely contributed to it reaching this new milestone.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet performance issues

In an interview with Financial Post, Nintendo of Canada general manager Susan Pennefather commented on the performance issues players have experienced in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.

The biggest problem facing the two games currently concerns the frame rate. During normal gameplay, the action can chug and dip quite heavily. Some have also encountered glitches and general wonkiness while out in the open world.

Speaking with Financial Post, Pennefather had this to say:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tera Blast TM distribution

Another distribution has just started up for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, and for a limited time, players can nab the Tera Blast TM.

This can be obtained while playing the game, but it doesn’t hurt to pick up another one – especially as it can come in handy. According to what’s stated in-game, the move dishes out energy of its Tera Type if the user has Terastallized. It inflicts damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat – whichever is higher for the user.
