Bayonetta 2: Developers Explain Why They Sided With Nintendo

All last gen, people called for Nintendo to get some good 3rd party exclusives and focus more on gamers. They start doing that and the entire gaming world loses their s**t. bc1391

[QUOTE="SRW-MKII"][QUOTE="LostProphetFLCL"]

Yes but there are plenty of other companies who could have jumped in. I feel Nintendo is the WORST choice just because the series will now be exclusive on a platform where it likely WON'T sell much if at all.

I don't think the first game did too well, and now I am betting the sequel will bomb even harder...

Nintendo kinda sucks at handling non-first party IP's. Just look at the Fatal Frame series. The series essentially died once they picked it up. The idiots don't even bring it stateside anymore...

By making it exclusive? BS DETECTED !!!

Bayonetta going to a Console that has Super Smash Bros., Mario, and Zelda?

it will probably reach to more Gamers than it ever did on the other 2 systems.

Uh.... anyone think that maybe they wanted to be on the WiiU because they want it to have better graphics than what the 6 year old consoles can handle? Silenthps

how so?

That being said, the console games market is in a state of upheaval, so establishing a new game franchise requires a considerable amount of will, determination, and love. Bayonetta is a brand that we want to see become stronger, reaching the hands of more and more gamers, so we have continued to consult with Sega, the previous games publisher, on how we can make sure this takes place. Our answer was a new partnership with Nintendo.

Along with their new hardware, Nintendo, as a company, is dedicated to establishing a new future for the games industry, as you can tell by their record of passionate support for gaming. Alongside Nintendo, we hope to grow the Bayonetta brand beyond where it stands today, allowing even more gamers around the world to experience the action of our beloved witch. As developers, we are working hard to make this a reality

bayonetta sucks more now.

Seems like people should be more upset that Sony/Microsoft didn't step up and publish it or that Sega just dropped it all together. Rather then hating nintendo for trying to at least make it so the game could even exist.

bbkk is hotter than mario.

someone had to say it.

I don't care about Bayonetta but I find all of this hilarious.

I bet the game sell well, or at least better than it did on either the Xbox 360 or PS3. There won't be any competing games in its genre, like Ninja Gaiden, DMC, or GoW. It will also release when the system will be somewhat short on games, and while one great third party exclusive is not going to sell the Wii U to those who are disillusioned with Nintendo, if Nintendo continues to follow this strategy to obtain other third party exclusives, they will end up with a mindblowing library that simply cannot be ignored.PurpleMan5000

The sad thing is that in may, when Bayonetta 2 was canceled, there was not even 10% of all the whining and crying we see now. Pathetic

This. The whiny fanboyism here is so damn pathetic.

And I love how Bayonetta is suddenly a terrible video game.

and maybe by a miracle bought Mario Kart Wii.

Joedgabe

With 32.44 million copies sold as of March 2012, it is the best-selling Mario game for the Wii console as well as ranking second on the best-selling Wii games list.[2] It is also among the best-selling stand-alone game of all time.

Bashing Platinum Games because nobody other than Nintendo wanted to publish the game.....that sounds like gamers alright. Thats embarrassing.

Yep. Nintendo very much saved the franchise. That speaks volumes about Platinum Games.

And the first third party game to get hit with the Nintendo bargain bin curse is, TADAAAAA a zombie title, formerly canceled by Sega now picked up by Nintendo in order to enlarge the launch line up of their next WII console. Sold poorly on 360 and PS3, it'll die a slow painful death with Nintendo.

nobody other than Nintendo wanted to publish the game

crimsonman1245

Care to provide a source for that claim?

reactions are funny

Actually if ninty markets this game like crazy the game may outsell it's predecessor.Sega only mostly markets the sonic games more then their other games.

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"]

In my years as a gamer, I have never seen this much ignorance towards a game ever. I found it entertaining at first but the more I realize where the hate comes from, and how blind people choose to be-the more I find it sad.

Either way, this is going down as one of SW's top 5 moments easily.

Peanut04_basic

Whut.Is that true.

"Break out news, Nintendo buys Platinum games"

Wonder what that would do? I can see that happening if both Wonderful 101 and B2 sell well on the system.

I like how everyone is saying much Bayonetta sucks now :lol:lawlessx
