Bayonetta 2 has been available for a little under two weeks now, and Platinum Games have updated their official staff blog with an entry discussing the four Nintendo themed costumes included in Bayonetta 2 and the Wii U port of Bayonetta. Designer Yong-Hee Cho talks about the challenges in creating a costume based off of the design from the original Metroid released almost 30 years ago. If you haven't picked up Bayonetta 2 yet I strongly encourage you to do so. Platinum Games have created an amazing product which is the pinnacle of the action genre, and a game which all future action games will be judged against.

In addition, Nintendo have announced some new amiibo functionality for Mario Kart 8 in their latest Nintendo Direct. When players scan their Samus amiibo into Mario Kart 8, their Miis will be given a Samus costume to race in. The Samus amiibo will be available on November 21 in North America, November 28 in Europe, and December 6 in Japan.
