Bayonetta 2 channels Fox McCloud with 'Star Mercenary' outfit
If you ever wanted to dress Bayonetta up in an outfit normally worn by an anthropomorphic fox, well, that's your business. This week, your fetish gains a little more legitimacy with the announcement that Platinum Games' upcoming Bayonetta 2 for Wii U will feature a costume swiped from Nintendo's Star Fox series. Nintendo's Bayonetta 2 Direct presentation showcases Platinum's "non-stop climax action game" in precise detail, revealing that a Fox McCloud outfit (shown at the 18:30 mark) will accompany previously announced alternate costumes inspired by Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, The Legend of Zelda's Link, and Metroid's Samus. While wearing the "Star Mercenary" outfit, Bayonetta will wield tiny Arwings instead of pistols, and a familiar reticle will indicate locked-on targets. The featurette also reveals that Bayonetta 2 will feature "controls that meld with your mind" in a pioneering and possibly illegal occupation of player brainspace. Bayonetta 2 collects the original Bayonetta alongside an all-new quest at retail and via Nintendo's eShop on October 24. [Image: Platinum Games]
Injustice: Gods Among Us' alternative costumes for Harley Quinn, Bane
A small care package of delightfully intriguing Injustice: Gods Among Us artwork has been delivered to the fighting-focused folks over at Shoryuken, containing both concept art and a look at what are presumably the first of many alternate costumes for Harley Quinn and Bane.Harley's new digs, as seen above, are much closer to her previous iterations than her default Injustice costume, with the most appropriate comparison being to her appearance in Batman: Arkham City. The big difference here, besides the return to a biker aesthetic, is the fact that her hair has been changed to its correct original blonde, rather than the New 52-inspired red/green default.Meanwhile, Bane's alternative look is much more techno than his primary appearance, with a mask that says "grim reaper" more than "luchador" and a green chest repository of Venom somewhat reminiscent of Soul Calibur's Astaroth. Hit the source link below for the full gallery of screenshots and concept art for both characters.
