Why would you want a game to be bad?

I don't mean it'll be bad. Probably it's going to be fun.

But it wont bring any genius gameplay. 6.5/10

 

[ezekial45]

But what about Bayonetta 1? Interactive comic book?

Probably, or just some quick summation of the game in the opening scenes.

But how awesome would it be for PG to port over the original game and package it with B2?

 

[Knux-Future]

Maybe Nintendo will actually advertise it.


lolno.

 

[Luigiv]

People anticipating this should hope it's a true exclusive, not timed, so they can implement gamepad features from the ground-up instead of tacked on ones.

I think it'll be a real exclusive. How often do AAA "published by Nintendo/MS/Sony" games go over to other consoles? It can't be that often at all.

The only game I can think of are Ninja Gaiden 2 and Samurai Warriors 3, which managed to go multiplat by getting renamed and modified enough to sidestep the exclusivity contract. It's worth pointing out, though, that they're both Tecmo Koei games so there's a common link there that doesn't apply to Bayonetta 2.

 

[herod]

I am curious why Nintendo funded and is publishing this. They can't think that its going to be a huge seller.

this thread and its likenesses on other forums.

 

[Mutanthands]

Wow, the metldowns in here. FUNDED BY NINTENDO PEOPLE - EXCLUSIVE OR NOTHING. This thing was CANCELLED before now! Diehard fans of the series should be happy it even exists!

Yeah, I don't get it. People just need shit to complain about. Between this, and the Carnival of Stupid that was the response to the Apple conference yesterday, it's just crazy people 24/7.

Nintendo survives on salts.

 

[pvpness]

Love it. This is one of those games that will force some in the enthusiast market to ask themselves whether they play games, or hardware. Bravo Nintendo you cunning bastards. Lol.

 

[EteRnal PAL]

What the flying fuck!?! Wasn't planning on it but Wii U purchase confirmed.

 

[fallagin]

Cool, I hope it sells well on WiiU.

 

[robotzombie]

I apologize for not blowing multiple loads and saying I'd trade Halo, MGS, God of War, Gran Turismo, Forza, Final Fantasy, Shenmue III, Grand Theft Auto 5, all just to play this game, accompanied by an angry animated gif. Great pick-up for the library, I hope we get more true exclusives so that the games can be created for the gamepad from the ground-up.

I have no idea what you are responding to, but you called Bayonetta and DMC4 button mashers. If they are button mashers then there are no action games in existence that aren't button mashers. It is quite obvious from your statement that you have no experience playing these games other than on the easiest difficulties, which begs the question as to why you would bother posting about them being button mashers at all.

It's a cheap way for Nintendo to show that they care about the 'hardcore'.

Gamepad features... why would..
Uh never mind.

I love how you're giving your review score for a game that was just announced and don't seem to be sarcastic.

 

[Air]

More exclusives, more incentive for others to buy their product, plus it will help diminish the Nintendo = Kiddy mantra.

 

[MormaPope]

I was thinking the same thing but I was apprehensive to post this because people are treating this thread like lunch time during middle school.

 

[wingz]

I bet Kamiya's twitter is getting hammered now, with crazy people complaining about this great news.

 

[slaughterking]

I am curious why Nintendo funded and is publishing this. They can't think that its going to be a huge seller.

They are pandering to the hardcore gamer and Bayonetta will do that like very few other games. It's a pretty good move in that sense and I doubt they expect it to be huge.

 

[Littlegator]

Out of EVERY game to be Wii U exclusive... it was one we were told was already cancelled.

Thank you based god for giving me this gift.

I finished your sentence for you.

You actually can't complain about this.

 

[ironcreed]

Damn, aren't exclusives a good thing? Don't you guys want more great games that give you a reason to own each console? Nintendo trying to show they actually want to win those of us back who want something beyond games like Wii-Fit and Mario is great news for gaming on the whole. It baffles me how people who love gaming can hate on news like this, but oh well.

 

[GCX]

I am curious why Nintendo funded and is publishing this. They can't think that its going to be a huge seller.

The same reason they occasionally fund stuff like Sin & Punishment 2.

I want this printed on a t-shirt, now.

Only 266 posts left to get out of the danger zone, my friend

Keep it coming.

 

[Exterminieren]

Amazing.

I said yesterday that today will live in infamy, and I was absolutely right.

I am annoyed because I had no intentions to buy a WiiU >.>

My wallet aches in pain.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

You still have time to edit your posts before mods go through the thread. You know who you are.

 

[Raptor]

It's not like Bayonetta 2 is coming out on November 18th. Shit, it wasn't even announced for the launch window. Who the hell knows how far along this game is. People are throwing fits about not being able to afford the system for a game that doesn't even have a release date. Christ, if you really want to play a game I'm sure you can afford investing $250-350 in a system & game when the time comes.

I'm fucking broke as shit right now and I've been looking for a new job too. Just because a game I was looking forward to is coming out on a system that I can't afford at the moment doesn't mean I have to like the game/announcement/news less. Jesus Christ, this should be a joyous occasion for true, old school gamers. We're talking about BAYONETTA 2 here, like, it's a real game! Published by Nintendo! Do you have any idea what this could mean for future publishing partner/collaborations!?

Yes, exactly this, I will buy the WII U when this comes out and if that is around mid year 2013 better for me since I get to save some money to actually buy it.

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I can taste their crazy filling the air.

It's intoxicating.

I think mods need to start closing the zoo. Some people are saying pretty stupid things right now.

Oh shit he was fucking serious!

 

[jmdajr]

Platinum Games doesn't have anyone capable of making a game as bad as DMC2, I'm sure.

One would hope

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I am curious why Nintendo funded and is publishing this. They can't think that its going to be a huge seller.

I don't think Nintendo did this thinking it would win them millions of sales. This game will not be a huge seller.

However, they saw a game that was already into development and they could pick up and pay to finish up for a decent price and market as an exclusive, which looks good on paper at launch. Thankfully, that game happened to be the cancelled Bayonetta 2.

 

[MoogPaul]

I'm assuming Nintendo probably saved the game as no one else was willing to publish.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

If Bayonetta 2 was exclusive to the PS3 I dont think we would be seeing the hate I see on in this thread.

You'd be surprised.

 

[MarkusRJR]

I'm not going to read this thread because I just know it's full of idiocy and pathetic moaning.

I just wanted to say I'm so happy Bayonetta 2 is actually happening. This is the best news ever.

Yup, Bayonetta 2 probably would've never happened if Nintendo didn't step in. I loved the original and I'm so pumped to just be getting a sequel.

I'm also kind of hoping Nintendo buys Platinum Games just so I can see the meltdowns.

 

[Hellsing321]

Oh fuck! Wii U confirmed greatest console of all time!

 

[cajunator]

I am curious why Nintendo funded and is publishing this. They can't think that its going to be a huge seller.

Because it says to the public "we are willing to stick our neck out for hardcore gamers this time". Its more of a message than a moneymaking venture. but its an important step.
It also gains third party confidence that Nintendo wont leave them out to dry as much anymore. This is exactly the kind of thing Nintendo needed to do. Its a very intelligent business move. They have to repair a lot of damaged relations, but partnerships like this surely cannot hurt.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Monster Hunter Ultimate, The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, and NSMBU basically sealed the deal for me.

Take my $350 already, Nintendo. I hope there's a trade in program for a Wii > Wii U at GameStop.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

These tears are so deliciously salty. Mmm.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I think I shit myself.

Talk about out of nowhere.

Your butt-hole I would have thought?

Oh, right. Figs.

 

[Snuggles]

But what about Bayonetta 1? Interactive comic book?

I've played Bayonetta multiple times and I still have no understand of the plot whatsoever. It was like a fever dream or some shit.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

I have no idea what you are responding to, but you called Bayonetta and DMC4 button mashers. If they are button mashers then there are no action games in existence that aren't button mashers. It is quite obvious from your statement that you have no experience playing these games other than on the easiest difficulties, which begs the question as to why you would bother posting about them being button mashers at all.

I didn't call them button mashers. Maybe you should read that post again.

 

[Dizzle24]

Fucking fuck. Now I have to buy a Wii U.

 

[NekoFever]

I am curious why Nintendo funded and is publishing this. They can't think that its going to be a huge seller.

Hush money for all the people on forums like this who have been down on the Wii U. Suddenly the buzz isn't so negative.

 

[Jake McLargeHuge]

Yeah, I don't get it. People just need shit to complain about. Between this, and the Carnival of Stupid that was the response to the Apple conference yesterday, it's just crazy people 24/7.

Having to buy an overpriced(debatable) system to play a game that you love is pretty much the definition of bittersweet for me. Honestly, it seems like there's way more hype than salt in this thread....so far....

 

[jj984jj]

If this relationship continues, Vanquish 2 will probably be Wii U exclusive as well.

This is not going to happen. Mikami has his own company now and Shigenori Nishikawa is working with him.

 

[zoukka]

I am curious why Nintendo funded and is publishing this. They can't think that its going to be a huge seller.

It's nice PR and they seem to have a good relationship with Platinum. And in my dreams... the Nintendo of yore is waking up again ^^

 

[Neo C.]

Hahaha, I saw it on Nintendo Direct and I knew today's a funny day on GAF.

I'm glad I've seen so many GAF meltdowns related to Nintendo:

- The Smash Brothers Brawl announcement featuring Snake
- The Monster Hunter 3 exclusive
- The Dragon Quest IX exclusive
- The Dragon Quest X exclusive (less impactful than IX though, people expected it)

And now this. Makes me wonder if Sakurai was responsible for the networking:

Sakurai: Osu Bossu.
Iwata: *laughs*
Sakurai: Yesterday I went to Kamiya-san and his team was sooo sad that bayonetta 2 is cancelled. Would you publish it? It only costs a Zelda fairy.
Iwata: *laughs*

 

[Übermatik]

Mods, get in here. People are goin' kerazy.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Don't worry. Baypnetta will be B-produced quick money get scheme thing. They quickly recycle first game's mechanics and invent cheesy story.

No real inventions here. It will be boring.

I really don't understand this post.

 

[adelante]

So you're not going to buy a system with the games you want... because?

Because of this:

Of course, because for most people here it wouldn't require a new hardware purchase.

I hate that it's exclusive for a platform I don't plan to buy, but I agree it probably wouldn't exist otherwise, sadly.

Not that hard a concept to grasp. That said, damn... looks like the WiiU has skyrocketed to a must-buy for me!
