The shockingly professional video details the loot plan from beginning to end. The gist of it is to take Jeanne into Chapter 14 with the Bracelet of Time and Gaze of Despair equipped. Fill up your magic bar, then activate the bracelet. Attack using the triple P combo. Dodge frequently to keep your magic topped up and focus on keeping your combo multiplier extremely high. Then, like magic, tons and tons of lootz. Well, not quite magic, as you have to adapt your strategy depending on what you're fighting, but it's still pretty easy to pull off.

Give the video a look-see and prepare for 54 seconds of Bayonetta dressed as Samus Aran, complete with spin jump and morph ball abilities. Given that Samus had her own combat game released a few years back, it's not so surprising to see the bounty hunter kicking butt in this manner. What will be surprising is when the "clothes fall off when she performs more combos" feature kicks in, something we're still shocked to see on a Nintendo console.

Fantasia Music Evolve (360, One) - Harmonix has another music game for us but this time it's a bit different. Utilizing the Kinect and trippy visuals, players will be immersed into a mix of pop and classic music culture true to the Fantasia name. Two players can work together to complete songs. [2 player couch co-op].

The demo allows players to play through a couple of levels, but not the game's new "Tag Climax" co-op mode. That co-op mode is, by all accounts, more on the co-opetition side of things rather than straight up co-op. Players will be working together to take down enemies in a timed level, but the player who doles out the most damage will be earning the rewards.
What Nintendo does best is fan service, and a new costume of Fox McCloud from the Star Fox series is a perfect addition to the handful of customizable attire that the character Bayonetta can wear. Peach, Daisy, Samus, and Link have all be announced as costumes in addition to Fox McCloud. What's interesting about them is that each will provide their unique moveset, as well as add special elements to your character, such as the "Lock On" feature from Star Fox.
Also included in the Wii U version are multiple costumes from popular Nintendo franchises such as Zelda, Mario, and Metroid.
In Tag Climax, players will select a stage from the Verse Cards they own. They will be able to select their character as well as weapon and accessory load-out. Difficulty can be ramped up if the players desire. A higher difficulty means a higher reward of Halos (the in-game currency) at the end of the stage. Here's the catch, though - both players will have to wager an amount of Halos at the beginning of the stage. Higher difficulties sound to have a higher minimum bid. At the end of the stage, the player who has scored the most points is declared the winner, and receives a multiplier of their bet. The loser will lose some Halos. So there is a competitive aspect to the mode.
Yesterday, Nintendo announced at their E3 presentation that Bayonetta 2, the sequel to hit action game by Platinum Games, would feature a 2-player mode. While some sources claim that "co-op" was announced, other sources state that simply "two-player mode" was mentioned. So while it's looking promising for co-op, let's hope we don't find ourselves in the "co-op" versus "multiplayer" semantic confusion that a lot of other people throw around (but not us, never us!).
