Platinum Games Shares Its Bayonetta Nintendo Costumes Concept Art
Platinum Games has released a collection of concept art images detailing the process of creating Bayonetta's assorted Nintendo costumes.
You can check out the gallery of images below or on Platinum Games' blog here. The designs were handled by Yong-Hee Cho who writes, "It all started one day when Kamiya walked up to my desk and said, ‘Hey Cho. Draw Bayonetta in a Princess Peach outfit for me. Thanks.’"
Cho also writes about suggesting Bayonetta's transformation into a Morph Ball when dressed as Samus, and how he drew Link Bayonetta in a conservative (conservative for Bayonetta, anyway) outfit, and it was Nintendo who actually pushed it to be more risque.

Our Take
It's always interesting to track the design process of character (like we see here with Infamous Second Son's Fetch) as well as get even a tiny little bit of insight of working with Nintendo, which is typically shrouded in mystery.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
