Bayonetta 2 is finally out worldwide. The game launched a few weeks ago in Japan, but only came out in North America and Europe today.

Bayonetta 2 director Yusuke Hashimoto celebrated the title’s arrival in other territories with a message on PlatinumGames’ blog. You can find it in full below.

Hi everyone, this is Bayonetta 2’s director, Yusuke Hashimoto.

It’s been five long years… finally Bayonetta 2 is finally out in North America and Europe! I guess some of you might be playing it right now!

I’ve been overjoyed to receive so many messages from all of you on my twitter (PG_y_hashimoto). Thanks so much. During production, those messages helped me out a lot, and now, I’m just thinking… I can’t believe it’s finally on sale. This will be the first title I’ve worked on that will hit the stores in five years.

Over in a Japanese PlatinumGames blog post, the studio provides details on the process of bringing the Nintendo costumes to Bayonetta 2. Siliconera translated the information, which we’ve rounded up below.

– Things began when Hideki Kamiya asked the developers at Platinum to design some Princess Peach costumes for Bayonetta
– This was pretty surprising for the designers, as both characters are complete contrasts
– Kamiya felt that the closer they could make it to Peach’s original designs, the better
– They used the same design for Princess Peach’s to make one for Daisy as well, which also comes with a Luigi charm
– Designer is a fan of mecha, so it was the most fun for him designing Samus
– They couldn’t do much change to Link’s costume, which Kamiya was fine with
– Nintendo had to take a final look at things since it’s their characters
– Because of this, the designers at Platinum were careful, and felt that it could be risky to make Link’s outfit look sexy
– This is why they designed it so her chest area would not be as revealing
– Nintendo suggested to have the design show more of her chest
– This really impressed the Platinum designers to hear coming from Nintendo
– After all was said and done, the Platinum Games designers were satisfied with the costume, and felt that they were able to retain some of Bayonetta’s characteristics in it

It seems as if there has been quite a demand for the refurbished Wii U Nintendoland bundle that was available on Nintendo’s official website.

At this time they are currently sold out and there is a message instructing you to check back soon.

So if you were hoping to get your hands on one, you might have to wait or find an alternative purchase method.

No doubt one of the coolest announcements this morning was the inclusion of 8-player Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Sakurai explains a little bit more about the chaotic mode in today’s screenshots:

He continues:

And here’s a stage prepared for a large number of fighters, Big Battlefield!! Fighters can spread out, so it should be easier battling on a stage like this.

Here’s a little bit of a tidbit about the GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U. It will actually be possible to use two of these adapters. Given the ability to have eight players in Smash Bros. Wii U, I suppose that makes sense!
