Topic: Hands-on with the Nintendo Costumes in Bayonetta

The action heroine is looking mighty fashionable dressed as Link, Samus, and Peach.

In a somewhat surprising move, Nintendo is bringing the original Bayonetta to the Wii U as a bonus in Bayonetta 2. However, the original Bayonetta isn’t just a straight port. It will run at 60 frames per second, feature off-TV play, include both the Japanese and English audio tracks, and make use of the same stylus controls in Bayonetta 2. However, the big addition is a series of Nintendo costumes for the titular character to don. These costumes don’t radically change Bayonetta’s power and abilities, but they do give a nice visual homage to the characters that call her new platform home.

The three costumes on display at E3 were Samus Aran, Peach, and Link. The Samus costume was designed to resemble her suit, firing shots from Samus’ arm cannon instead of the usual guns. The Peach costume features Bayonetta in a skimpy princess outfit with moves that feature giant versions of Bowser’s hands and feet. The Peach costume also had an alternate whip weapon. However, the coolest alternate weapon was the one for the Link costume, as Bayonetta could wield the Master Sword in addition to rocking a familiar green tunic.

Bayonetta’s inclusion in Bayonetta 2 is a smart idea, as it allows players to play both games in the series on the same system. The tweaks to the original game aren’t major, but they refresh it a little bit by adding in new periphery content. Also, it should hopefully run smooth as butter. As someone who played Bayonetta when it first came out, I’m  looking forward to revisiting the original when the new one comes out this October.

It's probably good to note that her costume is based on her original Metroid 1 NES concept art suit:

The Treehouse demo showed more than what the article seems to imply.  The LoZ sound effects are present and they mentioned how her fighting style was different.

The Bayonetta's Samus outfit is a lot more boob-focused than the real deal.  Don't let Sakamoto or Team Ninja see that or it'll make its way into the main series.

I don't know, I hadn't noticed till you pointed it out.
