Bayonetta Playboy Photoshoot
Nintendo’s never been the one to deal with explicit content, especially in gaming. So when news broke out that the company was officially funding Bayonetta 2, it sure came as a shock to the gaming community. However, Nintendo didn’t stop there – they decided to go all the way by partnering with Playboy for a pretty raunchy Bayonetta photoshoot. Yes, the Playboy magazine. And they say Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history.
The partnership was in an effort to promote the game before release. They even booked model Pamela Horton to cosplay the Umbra witch who pulled off a handful of provocative poses for the publication. And while Nintendo is still catering to their younger audience (hence, the Labo), they’ve been much more open to having mature games on the Switch. From Skyrim to DOOM, there’s no telling what other titles we’ll see on the handheld console.
