Were you to ask me what I’d be excited for the most coming into Nintendo’s first E3 with the Wii U on the-stocking-shelves a few days ago, I’d probably have a fully mindful answer for each finger-on-the-hand. Given the somewhat sparse industry-wide response to Nintendo’s follow-up to the successful Wii, and with two competitor consoles set to drop in five months, I was fully expecting Nintendo to arrive at the Los Angeles Convention Center guns a-blazing, ready to duke it out with Sony and Microsoft the way they do best: releasing can’t miss first-party Nintendo gaming experiences that no other platform really has an equal for.

Platinum on Bayonetta’s new hair style and more

Jeanne is back in Bayonetta 2. Will she be playable? Producer Yusuke Hashimoto won’t say.
“As you can see in the demo, she will appear at some points, but where the story goes from there, that is something we’ll talk about later.”
As far as Bayonetta’s new hair style goes, Hashimoto commented:
“We think of it less as cutting her hair. Her personality is the type that would not want to remain stagnant. She would want to change her style, taste in fashion, and her costumes. Down the line in the series, she may make further changes to her appearance.”
Hashimoto closed out with remarks on the Umbra Climax:
“Those monsters Bayonetta summons will vary depending on your weapon combinations. That’s another element and won’t see all of them even if you play the demo.”
