News | Bayonetta 3 will have a no "nude" mode
There is a special mode in Bayonetta 3 that modifies nude scenes.
This is evident from a tweet from developer PlatinumGames. The ‘Naive Angel Mode’ ensures that Bayonetta keeps her clothes on when performing moves. In the games, Bayonetta loses her clothes, which are actually made of her hair, for certain moves. Enabling the mode “allows the game to be played in the living room without worrying about what’s on the screen…we think.”
PlatinumGames also shared a video in the tweet showing the difference between turning the mode on and off. The video can be viewed below. It also shows how other characters with little clothing get more clothing when the mode is turned on.
Relax, the witch is back and sexier than ever🌙

We've added the revolutionary "Naive Angel Mode" to Bayonetta 3 so more people can fully enjoy it👍
By turning it on, you can play right in the living room without having to worry about what's on screen... we think😅#Bayonetta3 pic.twitter.com/SEs3vqrdYc
Nintendo announced yesterday that Bayonetta 3 will be coming to Nintendo Switch on October 28. It was also announced that the first Bayonetta, which never physically came out on Nintendo Switch, will be getting a physical release later this year.
The Bayonetta series revolves around the titular witch who finds herself in the middle of a battle between heaven and hell. In terms of gameplay, the action games resemble the Devil May Cry series, where dizzying moves can be strung together via combos. Since Bayonetta 2, Nintendo has been funding the development of the games – which is why the second part has never been released on any other company’s platforms and the third part will also be released exclusively for Switch.

News | New Nintendo Switch model with OLED screen will be released on October 8
Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Switch model with an OLED screen, which will launch on October 8.
The new model is comparable in size to the regular Nintendo Switch, but has a larger screen of 7 inches with OLED technology. This should yield better colors and a higher contrast. The hybrid console also includes a LAN port, 64 GB of system memory and built-in speakers with enhanced audio. Finally, the console includes a wide, adjustable stand. The dock in which the system is placed has also been renewed.
Nintendo has announced that the functions of the new Switch model will remain the same: as usual, the Switch can be taken anywhere to play on the spot, but it can also be connected to the television via the dock. Otherwise, the Joy-Con controllers work in the same way.
There is no mention of improved graphics capabilities or 4k resolution. Earlier rumors about a so-called ‘Switch Pro’ did mention this.
The new Switch with the OLED screen will be released on October 8 in two editions. One with white Joy-Cons and one with neon red and neon blue Joy-Cons. All the old Joy-Cons will work on it as well as all Switch games. The Switch game Metroid Dread will also be released on October 8.
Nintendo does not give official suggested retail prices in Europe, but the new Switch costs $349.99 in the United States which is $50 more than the regular Switch. It is therefore almost certain that in Europe 50 euros must also be added to the standard price for the new model.
