Bayonetta 2: Developers Explain Why They Sided With Nintendo

"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.

Yeah because Byonetta sold spectacular on the 360 and PS3 oh wait....

You mean the "plays only CoD, complains on online forums" type of gamer?

Yeah, they would better *not* try to appeal to that type of gamer...

bbkk is hotter than mario.

someone had to say it.

To grow the Bayonetta IP, they moved it exclusively to the console of a company whose main demographic has historically bought mostly 1st part titles and largely ignored 3rd party ones. Sure, that's a good idea.

Yeah, this more than anything else. He wasn't lying when he said it's reach more gamers with Nintendo's partnership, especially when the alternative is ZERO.

:lol: im going to cry laughing when this game bomb's in sales. everybody know the target audience for the WiiU is Casuals and die hard Mario/Link fans. they're not gonna give too Sh*t's about this game.

Launch-games sell more than if it had been released later in the console life cycle. I will laugh hard if this game sell more than first game did on 360 and Ps3 combined:D

Well Bayonetta wasn't really my thing but I liked it nonetheless. Shame the sequel has to end up exclusive to the Wii U. Now it's pretty much certain that I'll never end up playing it...

Why you wearin' my glasses, bro!?

Either Wii U exclusive or no sequel at all.

Wait untill Nintendo announce that GTA V will be Wii U (timed) exclusive.

LOL

This means PC gamers will get to play it :P

They fixed it's performance problems?

Nice to hear, might try it running myself.

Still probably isn't completely glitch free tho.

its been 2 days now people, time to let it go.

Its coming to a nintendo dydtem, get over it

If you buy a new console you have not hundreds of games to choose from at launch

And the install base is much smaller. How about the fact that this console is more expensive than Wii, games are more expensive, and 3rd party and mature games often have problems on Nintendo platforms. WiiU already has a few big 1st party titles that would probably be must haves for sheep. At this point it's much more likely it will fail miserably in sales.

lol so they want to grow the brand by taking it away from the original fanbase WTF? To me this translates as 'Nintendo paid us up the a$$ for this'.

Now I have zero reason to go back and finish the first Bayonetta. Thing is the games not really a system seller, it's just a kinda good.

Problem is the Wii U is too much of a risk to get it day one because I don't want to end up with another GC/Wii. I've already decided to wait a year so I can see what it's games and online are going to look like, by that time, the next gen Sony/MS systems will be about ready to launch.

So basically it was a stupid thing to say, that they were doing it to grow the brand, because they don't have a choice.

Sure it was a cop-out statement, but this reaction is pretty silly, people dont even care about the game they just want to lash out. The outcry wasnt this ridiculous after the game was originally cancelled. And I despise bayonetta

Well it's cool, I was bothered about an hour ago when I just woke up and found out, but now it means nothing to me. Although the first is going in the back of the cupboard, I won't have the incentive to finish it if I may not have access to the follow ups.

The nauseating artstyle and one of the most unlikeable and overly pandering protagonists in living memory....

I like my core games, but this isnt something you can play in the living room with family family members roving about.

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

AdrianWerner

The Nintendo fans only seem to buy the consoles for Mario and Zelda most of the other stuff isn't that good. I will be intrested to see hows the second Bayonetta does when compared to the first game which wasn't that good.

True. I guess it's the female version of Dante and I hate, I can't bring myself to play DMC.

By making it exclusive? BS DETECTED !!!

Nice, i'm glad the game is alive and will be on the WiiU, i was extremely upset when i found that the game was cancelled...but now Nintendo to the rescue, no doubt yet another reason of why to get a WiiU, i seriously cannot wait to know more about the game, if it keeps the combat intact and the epic boss battles then its a day 1 for me.

And you can quote me on this, there will be either a Samus or Princess Peach costume for Bayonetta :)
