This week’s Nintendo of Minute has gone live, which you can catch below. Today’s video is once again focused around Fire Emblem Fates. You can see two battles, each of which show some different maps and with characters from Birthright and Conquest.
There’s more coverage to check out from the Nintendo NY store reopening earlier today. Below, you’ll find a video with a bunch of interviews – Charles Martinet, architects who worked on the renovations, and more. You can also get a glimpse at the three exclusive Splatoon posters that are available this weekend.

Project X Zone 2 features a ton of characters from Bandai Namco, Capcom, and SEGA. Heck, there are even a few from Nintendo as well.
One character that didn’t make the final cut was Bayonetta. PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya revealed on Twitter that he received an offer to have her in, but declined it. Now he sort of regrets it.
Kamiya wrote:
There was an offer, but I said no. Now I kinda regret that I said no. RT @KoriMaru

As for why Kamiya turned down the offer, he explained:
I said no to the offer of PXZ cuz I want to make the game in which Bayo & Dante appear by myself. But thinking of fans, maybe I was wrong.

That message seems to have been posted after Kamiya saw images of Segata Sanshiro in Project X Zone 2.
Not bad. RT @KoriMaru Would u consider letting Namco Bandai include Bayonetta in Project X Zone 3 with interactions pic.twitter.com/UFR9oVXqGA

of Bayonetta 2 is out in North America, Nintendo has updated the pricing for the digital version. You can now pick it up for only $29.99. If you happened to miss out on Bayonetta 2, now’s definitely a good time to give it a shot!
