Why does something that happened between two unrelated companies and games (MS and Team Ninja/NG) stand as more of a reference or precedent than the history of exclusives Nintendo themselves have published in the past?
Your reaching here. And I'm sure a lot of us understand that folks may have wanted things to happen a different way, but lets not push it bro... There's a hell of a lot more reason to think this will go the way that DQ9, MH3, and others went than there is to think that it will happen like that one in a million time that a game published by a platform owner was eventually ported out.
This is as ridiculous as insisting the PS4 will cost $699 at launch, and when someone points to the history of console launch prices as reason to believe that wont happen; you guys prop up the freaking 3DO as reasoning that its tooooootally likely to happen.... "That one time at band camp" doesnt count as a standard, nor does it make that isolated time a trend or standard.
That the next xbox gets released 2013 isn't that unlikely.
I can't wait to be playing this:
With this...
Is it Jeanne that will lead this game? Don't recognize the staff weapon being used.
I think Bayonetta will lead.

Wow at the meltdowns in here. Nintendo actually resurrects a game GAF wants to play, and this is the result?
More proof that people don't hate Nintendo systems because "lol no games", they just hate Nintendo period.

Yeah, I mean, if we're talking about this in terms of "blockbuster major system selling exclusives", this is not it. In NPD LTD terms it's near the very bottom of this genre.
If we're talking in terms of "How to make your console appeal more to EatChildren and Nirolak", you're doing significantly better.
It does show interest in picking up titles that appeal to niches however, which is encouraging.
Page back. You should notice an impact.
That would obviously be an amazing win for Nintendo to have one of the best Japanese third-party studios making a variety of high quality games for it (both cartoony and mature IPs). Unfortunately,I doubt Platinum Games wants to be stuck with one console manufacturer even though it has clearly shown Nintendo platforms some love on both Wii and DS and now even more on Wii U.
Nah this is not a megaton. A real Megaton would have been COD or GTA timed exclusives.
....
They did buy Monolith after that, though.

Perceived salt? That's laughable as well as your indifference Bayonetta
It's Bayonetta and a new person to my knowledge, unless something has changed since it was canceled.
There should also be co-op support, though I'm not sure if it's full campaign.

If all their talent left after Prime who made DKCR? Some very talented temps?
I'm not reaching, I'm not suggesting otherwise, I just wanted to see if he could justify his position with any logical argument. I don't think it's ever going multiplatform.

Yes, for now. This "for now" may extend to "forever".
As I said, we don't know if it's possible that later rereleases of the game may come out on other, non-Nintendo systems. We would have to know what kind of publishing deal Nintendo has made with Sega and/or Platinum Games.
It shows me Nintendo are willing to scoop up a few games other than Mario/zelda to sell the console at the start but I won't be biting until I see continued support much further into the future. The Wii pretty much came to a stop at one point.

I can't read shit apparently cause I haven't READ ANYTHING that says Nintendo and Sega are CO-publishing.

I don't see anywhere in these stories that says Sega is co-publishing. No where.
You assume sega is co-publishing cause you saw a sega logo in the teaser.
Nintendo has done this before: publishing games that it didn't hold the IP.
Ninja Gaiden 3 is an exemple, Final Fantasy IV, V, VI advance for GBA is also valid.
Stop lying to yourself.
I think that was intentional to make you think they were getting an ancient port.

This is still happening? They must have jumped at a check from Nintendo for this then.

In any case, sales wise DKCR >>> Prime anyways (also quality wise) so I think Nintendo probably would say buying Retro worked out for them.
I mean hell, a few years ago they bought Monolith Soft despite them not making games that sell well, to say the least.

Buy the console and get over it...

Oh...and did anyone else notice how awesome the game logo will look on the Wii U box??

This might be a situation like Fatal Frame where Nintendo publishes games where another company owns the IP and Nintendo eventually takes co-ownership of the IP.

No Nintendo hate, lots of people just aren't interested in their games (different tastes), and on top of that fail to see why they would buy an already obsolete new platform in 2012. I have a current gen console... I got it in 2007! Why would I buy a WiiU?
Unless you like Ninty games, the real juice is next-gen, Xbox 720 / PS4.
As for the game, just disappointed it isn't coming to other consoles. But at least it exists, I don't feel any "rage" or "entitlement" to it.
Except Prime is better than DKCR so no.

Don't judge her.
Looking at this broadly -- adding Monster Hunter in to the mix, for example -- it does appear Nintendo has a legitimate window to pick up games, particularly Japanese games, which can't reasonably make the leap to HD+ budgets, or whatever we want to call PS4/720 budgets, but are nonetheless not handheld games, and are "core" focused titles.
I'm not sure how large that swathe of titles is, but it exists, and Nintendo may be able to fit in to that space. As for major western developers, I feel their only real hope is to get multiplatform versions of the big games, and even that may be a stretch.

WHy would you buy a Wii U?
To play Bayonetta 2. Unless you're saying Bayonetta 2 will be obsolete. Which is just weird.
I mean, I can't play Bayonetta 2 on an any other platform, so that's why I would buy a Wii U. To play games. On that platform. That I can't find anywhere else.
Like Bayonetta 2.

I don't know man, Nintendo's publishing the game after the thing was about to be cancelled. They have this one on lock, I think.
Anyhow, for someone who both loved the original Bayo and planned to get Wii U anyway like myself...this is just even more good news.
the first bayonetta sold one million?
You sure? If true it seems odd Sega would let go of one of their best selling IP's at the moment. And they know how badly they need sales.
Lacking interest does not mean hatred. I'm not sure the reactions are surprising when one user base is dying to play some new Bayonetta and then it goes to a completely different user base.
Bayonetta apparently wasn't considered enough of a success on two systems, so I'm not sure how this is going to fare on a single console with a fraction of the original supporters on board. Platinum needs to succeed somewhere, though.
YES.

If they don't, I will be a very angry person.
Sega still owns the license. Nintendo is obviously paying them to release this.
They haven't let it go.
