Under DS
Hideki Kamiya, creator of the forthcoming
Bayonetta, would be up for making a sequel to his stylish side-scroller
Viewtiful Joe if given the opportunity, according to a report by
Game Informer. Not so much for
Okami, though, which he’d wanted to revisit until he learned Capcom was making
Okamiden for DS. “I heard the announcement that someone else would be making a sequel,” he told the magazine. “Now I’m just not interested in it anymore.”
Kamiya, who left Capcom along with Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and other key staffers to form the now-defunct Clover Studio, doesn’t retain the rights to any of the IPs he created at either company — but nevertheless feels that the story of Viewtiful Joe “is incomplete,” adding “I’d like to finish it someday.”
While that’s probably a long shot, Kamiya has already proven he’s a man full of amazing ideas, which we’ll hopefully see many more of after Bayonetta – a game he could very well make a sequel to — is released in the US on January 5.
Viewtiful Joe’s Kamiya would ‘like to finish’ series, won’t henshin-a-go-go back to Okami originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

We’ve been informed that a demo for Bayonetta, a game from the “creative geniuses behind Devil May Cry and Resident Evil,” has hit Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network, and is now available to download in all regions.
The demo weighs in at 769 MB on Xbox LIVE and 1.63 GB on PSN, and is said to be a game of “100% pure, unadulterated, climatic action.”
“With powers far beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, our heroine Bayonetta fights countless enemies, evil forces and giant foes in brutal yet graceful ways. Being bad never felt so good…”
Have a look through El33tonline’s previous coverage of Bayonetta, including a ton of screenshots and in-game footage, to see what this action adventure game is all about.

Here’s a friendly little reminder for all the climax action fans out there: The previously announced Bayonetta demo has arrived on Xbox Live Marketplace. We’ve been able to spend some time with the demo, and it’s probably safe to say that Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden players out there have something to look forward to. But you don’t have to take out word for it, because you can try it yourself. Amazing world we live in, isn’t it?

SEGA of the UK has let it be known that those of you looking forward to Bayonetta next year currently have all kinds of pre-purchase bonus options available to you, with special deals going down at retailers Play.com, Game.co.uk and HMV.
If you pre-order Bayonetta through Play.com, you’ll be entitled to the Climax Edition of the game, which comes with additional limited edition slipcase packaging, an artbook and a soundtrack CD (with the actual game housed safely inside as well).
Pre-ordering Bayonetta through Game.co.uk will net you what looks to be an awesome replica Scarborough Fair Gun (as seen in the game).
And last, if you pre-order Bayonetta through HMV, you’ll get an exclusive DVD entitled Manga’s Leading Ladies, which features “featuring full episodes, trailers and exclusive clips.”
For Bayonetta fans, choosing from the list above is going to be tough… or alternatively, instead of choosing, you can just buy all three!

We’re not sure why publishers decided that purchasing a game should be more difficult, but the recent trend of retailer exclusive pre-order goodies seems to be here to stay. Case in point: the
various pre-order bonuses for
Bayonetta in the UK. Those who pre-order at
Play.com will receive the
Bayonetta Climax Edition, pictured above on the left. Meanwhile,
HMV pre-orders get a “Manga’s Leading Ladies” DVD, which features “full episodes, trailers and exclusive clips” of
something. Perhaps the coolest bonus, though, belongs to
game.co.uk, which offers a replica of one of Bayonetta’s guns, Scarborough Fair.
All three are being offered for £39.99, so the only decision you really have to make is which bonus you like the best. Well, that and whether or not you ever want to invite a pretty girl into your home.

Sega and Maxim.com have selected a winner in their search for a model that best captures the lead character from forthcoming action title
Bayonetta. The young lady, Andrea Bonaccorso, walks away (slowly, considering she has guns for shoes) with an Xbox 360, a copy of the game and a 50-inch Panasonic TC-P50X1 HDTV Plasma TV. She’ll also appear on Maxim.com, in a sensible, dignified outfit, we’re sure.
So how did she qualify for such an honor? This is really what it says in the press release: “While some entrants perfectly mirrored the outfit of the character and others simply donned librarian glasses, Andrea married both elements to come out on top.”
So, there you have it. We’re rewarding this girl for wearing both clothes and glasses.
Meanwhile, Joystiq and Joystiq.com selected a loser in Sega and Maxim.com’s Bayonetta Model Search and it’s all of us.
