This past week, Nintendo clarified to us how it intends to offer the first Bayonetta to Bayonetta 2 buyers in North America.

Ultimately, it’s quite simple. Nintendo has confirmed that Bayonetta will be included with the physical release as a separate disc. Meanwhile, those who purchase Bayonetta 2 on the eShop will still get Bayonetta 1 at no additional cost.

The situation is fairly similar in Europe. You can find information about Bayonetta 1/2 for PAL territories here.

Some of the folks who hacked Mario Kart Wii are now focusing their attention on Mario Kart 8. While their efforts are in the very early stages, the video above shows the ability to rename courses, changes pertaining to music, and more.

The hackers note in their YouTube video, “None of this is in any state to be released at present, and it’s unlikely that we ever will in the interest of preventing cheaters”.

The latest blog post on the Platinum Games blog was translated over on NeoGAF and covers Damage Motion in Bayonetta 2. Here’s a summary:

• Blog post comes from Takaaki Yamaguchi, lead motion designer for Bayonetta 2
• Talks about what a Motion Designer does – Gives movement to anything in the game that requires motion
• Important to make sure characters don’t look like they’re stumbling around, making sure the main character feels right, making enemy movement comprehensible etc.
• Working on a sequel meant that everything from the original had to be carried over and if possible, made better
• The motion when landing a deathblow is defined by the right reaction from an enemy and is absolutely crucial in an action game
• If not done properly, the sense of satisfaction is incredibly deflated

If you’d like to see what Yamaguchi is talking about in action, check out the videos on the blog post.
