Atsushi Inaba, executive director at Platinum Games, has given a straight answer about Nintendo’s involvement with Bayonetta 2.
According to Inaba, there wouldn’t be a sequel if the company hadn’t decided to collaborate with Platinum on the project.
“Would Bayonetta 2 not exist without Nintendo? The answer is yes.”
Inaba says that even though Bayonetta 2 will be hitting a brand new system – and the IP is coming to a Nintendo console for the first time – he doesn’t see the move “as a change in platform.”
Capcom showed its latest Monster Hunter 4 trailer once again at a special TGS stage show a couple of hours ago. The video did contain one new clip, however.
In the brief extended footage, it was revealed that Yian Kut-Ku will be returning. The monster originally first appeared in the first game in the series.
A few shots of Yian Kut-Ku are posted above.
More photos of the Wii U GamePad and console have been posted above. These shots are a bit larger than the previous batch.
Need for Speed Most Wanted is one of those games that has been long rumored for Wii U. Strangely, EA still hasn’t made any sort of announcement.
There’s still a strong possibility that the game is in development for Wii U, and Criterion is being cryptic about a possible version for the console.
Most Wanted producer Leanne Loombe, when asked if the title could come to Wii U, only offered the following:
“We’re not talking about Wii U at the moment.”
That’s an interesting answer. I don’t want to read into this too much, but Loombe didn’t shoot down the possibility at all. He kind of dodged the question more than anything.
Nintendo of Europe is listing two digital games for release next week. The WiiWare title Successfully Learning English Year 5 (800 points) and the 3DS download game Balloon Pop Remix (£7.20) are due out on September 27.
We should have the full listing of digital releases on Monday.
Remember that Bridgestone Wii commercial featuring Kevin Butler? It seems that he’s since been removed from the advert. Either that, or the video posted above is an alternate version.
