Reading through the cancellation announcement thread knowing this exists is really heartwarming...in a very weird way.

Bayonetta 2 - WiiU (Director: Yusuke Hashimoto, Pub: Nintendo, Supervision:Kamiya)

It makes total sense, people played the original Bayonetta on PS360 and they loved it so wanting the sequel has nothing to do with wanting the systen it'll be playable on.
Also, people play $60 for console games (at launch), they don't pay $350+

Close the thread. Let's go home, boys.
Sorry I didn't see this earlier:
Hah, you'd fit right in with a few folks there including one guy who squealed when BLOPS2 had Wii Pointer controls confirmed. Bayo2 was definitely the one that got the loudest applause.

Nintendo critics: I'm tired of Mario and Zelda, give us some original IPs and better 3rd party support.
Nintendo: Look, were creating a launch line up with a strong focus on third parties.
Nintendo critics: Noooo! Where is 3D Mario? Zelda? I don't just want third party ports!
Nintendo: Look, we got Bayonetta 2.
Nintendo critics:
Fixed.

Nintendo fanboys: We don't need games like Watch_Dogs, it doesn't even look that good. 3rd party support like that isn't needed for Nintendo to succeed
Nintendo: Look, we got Bayonetta 2.
Nintendo fanboys: OMG MEGATON THE TEARS SO DELICIOUS GOTTA BUY A WII-U BODY IS REGGIE
hmmm....you know what.....nawww. that would be TOO GOOD. Fanboys everywhere would mass suicide.

Man, what a poser.
It's incredible to me that there are Bayonetta fans who couldn't care less about The Wonderful 101. There are people in this thread claiming that it's not worth buying a system for ONE game while completely ignoring the fact that another Platinum/Kamiya production exists. You know one of the main reasons Bayonetta is so good is because of Kamiya, right? You do know he is directing The Wonderful 101? How could you not be excited for that game too?
The only reasonable/logical concern any SANE person should have with this game is the fact that Kamiya isn't director. Even then, he's still a supervisor and a lot of the original staff seems to be behind this sequel. All this console/brand loyalty shit is so fucking old. Fucking evolve from that shit already!
Damn, this thread is a mess. It's whatevs, though. I'm going to go work on some Pure Platinum ranks in anticipation/respect while you guys argue all day & night. Peace out!

Also how big is Platinum Studios? They've been working on a shit ton of stuff seemingly almost simultaneously with several publishers. Max Anarchy, Metal Gear Rising, P-101 (now The Wonderful 100), and Bayonetta 2.
Though I suppose they're used to mult-tasking development. Mad World, Infinite Space, Bayonetta, and Vanquish were all released a year apart from each other. I just never thought of them as a big studio, but they sure can work on a lot of projects at once and yet miraculously make each one a quality title.
I think the focus on one console for Bayonetta 2 is the best decision. No worries about bad ports or anything.

Because that sequel is not on those systems. Yet, they won't buy the system that it is on, although they supposedly want the sequel. That's what makes no sense.
lol, who said that about watch dogs? ok, complete streching here. whatever.

I'm not buying a Nintendo console because it doesn't have the games I want!
*console gets games individual wants*
I'm not buying a Nintendo console to play these games!
Nintendo can't win.

I've just woken up to see Bayonetta 2 announced for the Wii U.
Holy fucktopia, am I still dreaming?! Best possible news I can think of, and something people were only jokingly (due to sheer impossibility) dreaming about when Nintendo's collaboration with Platinum on P-100 was announced.
System seller for me. Everything else is just a bonus.

bitch I'm taking calls.
I apologize for not having an established reputation or history for being pro or anti Nintendo before weighing in on the conversation.
Bayonetta is a cool game and I'm glad a sequel is being released. I don't see any reason to be negative about this at all, but to each his own.
This, totally.
it makes no sense. you buy consoles to play games not the other way around.

While this announcement makes it extremely tempting to buy a WiiU, I'm gonna wait it out.
I'm not gonna say that I won't buy it just because it has 1 game I want.
Rather I'll wait it out till all the consoles are out there and see which one has the most games I'd want to play.
So i'm gonna stand by my wait and see approach even though this was a good move by Nintendo and made me waver.

I'm sorry but it does make sense. Think of it this way, when I want a game I also think how badly I want it and how much money I'm willing to pay for it. If a specific game requires me to buy a whole new system to play it that affects how much I pay to play that game and by extension how much I actually have to want it before I bite.
Edit: Not that I agree with the over-reaction, death threats and all. These people need to either move on or pay up.
Apparently people who play games is not a valid category anymore
I feel excluded!
Well, that's understandable I suppose. But that means because it would cost too much, you don't want Bayonetta 2.
It's not Nintendo's fault that you dislike them...
Nintendo is obviously trying to get games on their system...I'd be surprised if Bayonetta ends up being the only game on the system that interests you...there will be more especially if you like Japanese developed games.

Have you ever seen the tour video of the inner workings of their studio? They have a large staff. Not to mention staff members work on multiple projects and when one is finished sources are allocated to wherever needed. Efficient.

I don't see how this work on tablet controller and pad is only multiplatform games. So it must be skyward sword style motion plus.
I know. Not sure if the average consumer knows or cares, though.
There are a lot of factors to consider even if you're a fan: cost, space/connections for a new unit, etc. It's not quite as simple as if you're a fan, you'll buy it.

Earnestly SEGA and Nintendo get involved in a lot together these days. It just gets more natural if you play the Mario & Sonic games.
Did anyone actually say that?
If so, then no excuses from me at all, but I honestly can't recall "Nintendo fanboys" saying anything remotely similar to this.

I get it. It's perfectly understandable. But I also know its outside my control, so why fret about it?
It doesn't really add anything to the discussion. It's just wishing, which is why it's banned. It's not banned for some random reason. Why would anyone want to read series of posts of why a game is not a particular platform or not?
I'm pretty sure Tri-Ace is working on LR: FFXIII. The battle system sounds like their repertoire, the doomsday thing is kind of like Valkyrie Profile and given that 150% of Square Enix is working on FFXIV atm, Tri-Ace is probably working on the game alone without any SE staff (except some creative).

That's a nice strawman you got there. Got a real good field for it.
not worrying about it. If you read my posts you'd see that. But like many people here, you're too busy screaming witch and asking for a hanging.
My family is doing what they can for their business and I help in whichever way I can.
I'm also studying civil engineer and the state of my country is in the crapper.
I like playing video games. It's the one thing that takes my mind of my problems. Is it wrong of me to ask why are people so happy this is exclusive?
I'd certainly understand if you're ecstatic that this game is even coming out. I am too. It just pains me how some people can be that selfish and immature about a simple thing.

Actually I have not, will have to check it out. I sorta assumed they didn't have a large staff as their games, though great, never tend to sell.

No, but is sure as hell doesn't relate to this topic either! I guess this is some sort of auto-defense mechanism.
