I took this picture. It was glorious.
The second of our E3 2013 podcast specials is slightly more focused… but still a little odd. We give our impressions of Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies, Killer is Dead, Bayonetta 2, and Batman: Arkham Origins (which we liked), as well as some thoughts on Mario 3D World, LEGO: Friends, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution , (which we were more tepid towards). Your listener mail rounds out this one.

I included the Virtual Photo Booth shots of Reggie, Miyamoto, and Iwata just because they’re different.
Amazon has lowered
the price of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes down to $29.99. You’ll be saving around $20 by picking the game up now.
Shantae will not be available on the 3DS Virtual Console this month as originally planned, according to WayForward’s Matt Bozon.
Bozon just tweeted that the game has been pushed back to July. No word on the game’s new release date at this time.

WayForward previously announced that Shantae would be hitting the 3DS eShop on June 20.
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.”
