Marvelous published a new interview with Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki on its website. All of his responses can be found above.

If you don’t want to sit through the whole video, you can check out these interesting excerpts:

PlatinumGames has posted a new Bayonetta 2 blog post covering the game’s character design.

First, check out a few excerpts below:

After acquiring the Super Mirror 2, Bayonetta can become an Umbran Gekka, Policewoman, Schoolgirl… They’re what’d you’d call “unlockable costumes.”

The basic design process I went through for these costumes was to brainstorm with Hashimoto and think about what costumes the fans would like. Then, out of those, Kamiya, Hashimoto, and I each chose a costume of our liking.

For the first Bayonetta, Kamiya was the director, so he chose the P.E. Uniform.

For Bayonetta 2, Hashimoto was the director, and he chose the Umbran Gekka.

Kamiya admitted that he probably indulged himself a bit too much when he made his choices for the first Bayonetta, so he chose something with a bit more mass appeal for this game: the policewoman. Hashimoto chose the Umbran Gekka, and I chose the schoolgirl outfit.

The process taught us about each other’s individual preferences, which was fun.

And be sure to read the full thing here with lots of information (and extra clips).
