Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments
A specific western release date for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth hasn’t been officially announced yet, but the game seems to be coming out in November.
In North America, retailers like Amazon
list a November 25 release date. Meanwhile, the newly opened NIS America Europe (take that in for as second) online store lists a November 28 date.
So as of now, both North America and Europe appear to be getting Persona Q in later November.
Rumor: Bayonetta to have a Daisy costume
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 22 Comments
PlatinumGames has revealed three Nintendo costumes for Bayonetta 1: Link, Samus, and Peach. At least one more original outfit will be included in the game based on the screenshot above.
Thanks to some detective work done by the folks on NeoGAF, Bayonetta may also feature a Daisy costume. The emblem on the right side of the image seems to match up well with the character’s icon associated with Daisy, posted below:
Not confirmed by any means, but it’s a good sign.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is making its playable debut in Japan this weekend. The game is appearing at the World Hobby Fair, which ends tomorrow.
One attendee picked up the flyer above that seems to hint at another secret character in Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. Notice the question mark next to the Mii fighter on the top right.
With the World Hobby Fair ending tomorrow, could we be getting another character reveal? If nothing else, it could be a sign that someone new will be confirmed in the somewhat near future.

A “Mario White Edition 3DS XL” seems to be releasing in North America, based on a new listing on Play-Asia. The system is listed for a July release with a $299 price point. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is included in the package, as is – strangely – Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.
The design above may look familiar to some of you. It was one of three unique systems released by iQue in China back in December 2012.

Europe getting Bayonetta 1 disc with Bayonetta 2 retail release?
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 7 Comments
There’s been a bit of confusion surrounding how Nintendo will be distributing Bayonetta 1 when Bayonetta 2 releases. We initially heard that this offer would only be available with retail copies in the states, though it was later clarified that the eShop release is also included.
And yesterday, Nintendo revealed that Bayonetta 2 would indeed ship with a separate disc in Japan. This seems to be the case in Europe as well.
Check out this excerpt from Amazon UK’s Bayonetta 2 listing:
Bayonetta comes packed in with the purchase of every retail packaged version of Bayonetta 2.
At this point, I have no clue what’s happening. Hopefully Nintendo will make things absolutely clear soon.
