Bayonetta 2 “Climax Situations” highlighted in new PlatinumGames blog post
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Bayonetta 2 has been out for a few weeks, but PlatinumGames is still updating its website with blog posts about the game. The latest update comes from designer Hirono Sato, who has discussed the “Climax Situations”.
Here’s a few excerpts:
The first Climax Situation I worked on in Bayonetta 2 was the fight with the giant dragon angel boss Glamor.
I was asked to take this boss and think of a way to fight it that would really blow people away.
When I was assigned to this boss fight, there were actually two versions of it already. The problem was, the director wasn’t a terribly big fan of either of them and was asking me to rework some of what wasn’t interesting about it. You usually get problems like this in development; I always deal with them with the following mindset—
You can’t make something lackluster fun with just a little fix.
Sometimes, you have to look over the entire problem from another angle.
I know that the team tries their best. But if something is boring, it needs to be given a complete facelift.
Head on over to the PlatinumGames website for the full post.

PlatinumGames translates blog post about The Wonderful 101 secret codes
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
We recently posted some information about The Wonderful 101 about how to unlock special characters in the Wii U game. That information came from a Japanese PlatinumGames blog post, which has since been translated.
Check out an excerpt below.
Can you believe it’s already been 2 weeks since Bayonetta 2 released!?
Sometimes people tell me that game is the sole reason they bought a Wii U! Of course that makes us really, really happy, but while you’re at it, why not try The Wonderful 101 as well!? (Although I guess if you’re here on this site, reading this, you probably already have…)
Right, with that out of the way, I have a secret to share with you today!
We’ve been getting some messages here and there from people who are having trouble unlocking Wonder-Bayonetta in The Wonderful 101.
And with good reason! Out of all of the hidden characters in this game, Wonder-Bayo is by far the most difficult to get your hands on.
Our raven-haired beauty only shows herself to those who find all of the hidden items, fight the toughest enemies, and overcome the hardest challenges: only the most persistent and indomitable heroes!
You can find the full English post from Platinum here.

Bayonetta collaboration costume designs highlighted in new PlatinumGames blog post
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
PlatinumGames has posted a new Bayonetta/Bayonetta 2 2 blog post covering the game’s collaboration costume designs.
First, check out a few excerpts below:
As I designed these costumes, I would think, when we have the player transforming into Peach, wouldn’t it be cool if we could change game play up somehow as well? Then, one day I thought, what about having Bowser’s punches and kicks be used for Bayonetta’s Wicked Weaves? I pitched the idea to Kamiya and he said “sounds good, do it.” The next idea I thought of was having Samus Bayonetta change to her Morph Ball. This, unfortunately, didn’t make it into Bayonetta Wii U, but… it did make it into Bayonetta 2! Thinking of these little extras is really one of the rewarding parts of working in games.
When I gave the designs to Nintendo to check, I was worried about how “kid-friendly” Bayonetta looked. Like, I didn’t think it’d be a good idea to show too much cleavage, you know… but when Nintendo looked at my Link design, they actually suggested to me to open up her top a little more… Wow.
And be sure to read the full thing here with lots of information and art.
