Be warned, gentle readers. Bayonetta is a game of over-the-top violence. There's a lot of blood and a few instances of torture devices in other parts of this video.

Today's Nintendo Direct was an exposé on Bayonetta 2 from Platinum Games. They talked about the different modes, weapons, characters, techniques, and costumes. In addition to a Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Samus Power Suit, and Link costume, a Star Fox costume joins the lineup. Bayonetta wears Fox ears, a fluffy fox tail, a Star Fox 64-esque flight suit, and her guns turn into mini-Arwings that make the trademark laser sounds.

Now if only we could get her to wear a Krystal-themed costume. I'd say with Bayonetta's propensity for skimpy clothing, an Krystal Adventures costume and staff-based weaponry would be a perfect for her.

Thanks to Kevin for the info.

Layeyes' Star Fox: Lylat Legacy is a Star Fox comic of fantastic artistic quality starting with the back story of Fox's rise to his father's legacy forming the Star Fox Team. It will eventually cover the entire rest of the Star Fox series (except Command)! It looks like every single canon Star Fox character ever created will be involved, especially our favorite blue vixen.

Follow the comic on its official webcomic reader page, updated with a new page weekly. Follow the ongoing development and concept art at the official Tumblr blog. Also, if you want to see how Krystal will look, here's all the posts tagged with Krystal.

Mancoin, a multi-talented Krystal artist, has released photos of his Krystal (Assault!) cosplay and Krystal Adventures Plush.

The Krystal cosplay was performed at Unicon 2014 in Riga, the capital of Latvia, on August 2nd and 3rd 2014. From the photos, I can tell the costume features a movable jaw, a rare Assault costume (well, rare for Krystal cosplay anyway), and a blaster. If anyone knows of other photos or video, please let me know.

Meanwhile, in June 2014, he also posted a photo of his custom Krystal Plushie that won second place at Nyaaa, another anime convention in Utena, Lithuania.

You should definitely check out Mancoin's cosplay gallery. He's done some really impressive cosplay for several of my other favorite characters like Renamon and Dust.

With a bunch of other announcements from Nintendo today including a new 3DS version and the official confirmation of Shulk in Smash Bros, we finally get to see high quality images of the fantastic interactive figures called Amiibo. Here you can see Fox McCloud, but check out the full gallery for tons more. I think I may pick up Samus as well.

Update

The Amiibos are available for pre-order right now on Amazon.com. I've already pre-ordered Fox and Samus.

Ever wanted to see Fox fight Falco Dragon Ball Z style? I know I have! These two videos are "Tool Assisted Speedruns", meaning they used emulators and special tricks to perform moves perfectly, there are no human players that can do these things, though in theory it would be possible. I'm pretty sure these are also the Project M versions of Fox and Falco, not original Brawl. Nevertheless, impressive! Don't blink, you'll miss the good part!

PS, there's one other video with Fox, Falco, and Wolf.

Krystal's Trophy appears!

Now, this COULD be a hoax, but it's the most accurate, complete hoax I've ever seen. This is probably a real leak. You can find the other interesting bits of info below.

New characters revealed:

• Bowser Jr.
• Wario
• Mr. Game & Watch
• Ganondorf
• Falco
• Jigglypuff
• Ducks and Dog (Duck Hunt)
• ROB the Robot
• Ness
• Dr. Mario
• Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles)
• Dark Pit

Worried about Krystal not appearing in the game, don't worry just yet! It's clear from the roster images that there is more than enough space for more characters. Actually, it's better than that. The layout of the roster looks like it's MISSING some slots by the way they are arranged (at the bottom). Then there's the fact that the leaker claims there will be DLC characters including (for now):

• Lucas
• Wolf
• Chorus Men
• Ice Climbers
• Snake

The Master Hand appears in a timed battle, as in all the other games in the series.

All the videos have been taken down already, but the screens are still up. The leaker really liked taking photos of the women trophies focusing mostly on their... assets, so be forewarned.

Update

It's rumored that the leaked videos and images are from an ESRB rating version of the game, but the leaker was a Nintendo of America employee. The original leaker has been identified, fired, and sued. Remember kids, don't violate your non-disclosure agreements!

Here's a short fanfilm that recreates Krystal in the crystal and the Krazoa circling around using the MikuMikuDance animation program.

There's a newer Krystal Adventures mod that looks like it was rigged from Gadonstriom's Model. Download it here. It was released August 28th, 2013 by user #! (devfurret).

The original Garry's Mod Krystal rig by Jake4159 looks like it was constructed using the old Unreal Tournament 2004 model from WAAAY back.

Thanks to RoboCop for the info.

Following the original video, here's some additional footage of Krystal fishing using a squeaky toy from Further Confusion 2013.

I'm serious about getting caught up with the site. Today, I posted 7 stories. This morning, I had 186 emails in my inbox, waiting to be responded to or otherwise dealt with. Tonight, at my stopping point, there are only 117 emails left. I still have tons of notes and todos to go through, but I'm starting to turn the tide. Thank you for being so patient with me. Every email yet to be responded is over a year old now, so if you get got or get an email response from an email you sent a long time ago, that's why: I've been so behind.

Hope you enjoyed the new posts today. I'll have more posts tomorrow too.
