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
