EDGE said in its review that “Bayonetta 2 is in many ways a perfect fit for Nintendo, with its bright blue skies, its easy charm, its relentless procession of ideas and its immaculately tuned controls.”

Nintendo’s former handheld chief developer Satoru Okada is retired from the company
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
Satoru Okada, the director of Metroid, Kid Icarus and Super Mario Land, is retired from Nintendo. Author Erik Voskuil confirms this in his new book “Before Mario”.
Aside from working on some of Nintendo’s earliest games, Okada created the Game Boy alongside Gunpei Yokoi. He later became the general manager of Nintendo Research & Engineering that was responsible for developing handhelds. Okada was ultimately the chief developer of the Game Boy Color, Advance, Advance SP and Nintendo DS.
It’s unclear when exactly Okada retired. However, it’s likely that he continued to supervise Nintendo’s handheld development up until his departure.
