Obvious to anybody with their head around game production. Unsure to the poor beggers.

Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 to stay as Wii U Exclusives
- Thread starter liger05
- Start date
I think people are just getting tired from hearing the obvious again and again, so they start making jokes about it.
I can't think of any honestly. Third-party exclusives went the way of the dinosaur. Third-party publishers want the money and going multiplatform will give them the money.
...and gamers are crazy loons for having an opinion about it.

There is still the possibility Nintendo bought the IP. We don't know for sure what actually happened. Beside Nintendo funding it.
There were some at the beginning of the generation, but development costs made the practice increasingly unviable. It was also to the benefit of the PC, because it could serve as an additional platform for minimal cost.

Sega won't sell Bayo IP.
Nintendo won't buy it.
Sega is pleased with free money.
Nintendo is pleased with good GAF publicity.
PG gets to work.
All is well.
Go ask Sony or MS for a PS720 game. Apart from those two, I don't see anybody esle publishing their titles.
EA has not done so well with its publishing branch.
Activision has no interest in 2 millions sellers.
Kodokawa, GungHo ...why go with these guys when you got Nintendo? better Nintendo exclusives rather than poorly funded PS720 games.
Leaves Square Enix...that could be interesting.
Konami will never make them develop a new IP.
of course Capcom. Never say never. Especially once next-gen is going on hard. We'll see casualties and unexpected alliances for sure.

I'm pretty sure the Sega logo appeared during January's Direct. They still own it (partially).
SEGA I guess.
If only Amusement Vision was still in tact for another F-Zero.
Tecmo Koei still partially owns Fatal Frame but you won't ever see a game in that series on a non-Nintendo platform. A different situation, because Nintendo co-owns the copyright now, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Nintendo take co-ownership of the Bayonetta copyright.
There is a better chance they would co-own the IP rather than buying the IP from SEGA.
EDIT: Beaten by a minute.
Yea pretty much this. PC is what has the most exclusives due to indie games, and PC only devs.
They're in constant movement already. Go buy it.
Watch this end up like Monster Hunter. Multi platform Bayonetta...puzzle game!
lol best post in the thread.
Well I was thinking more in the sense that you started to see more and more console ports on PC, which also owes to the fact that consoles are becoming more and more like a PC. But also because releasing a high-profile game on 360/PS3/PC makes sense; spread the risk.
But yeah, in general third-party exclusives now come in the form of niche or digital download titles.
And there will still be people who remain optimistic about playing Bayonetta 2 on other systems. Hell people have moved on to Bayonetta 3 now lol :/
I'll buy it when they update it to a point where everything isn't a complete mess....maybe.
Can't blame people for hoping something good to happen even if the chance is small.

Needs a Kamiya version with "Use your Brain"
No. You might be getting confused with Inaba's statement on their internal engine that they're using to develop Bayonetta 2. It's PC-based but is designed to work with multiple platforms, including the Wii U.
The only time they talked about expanding the IP was when it was announced, and that was Tatsuya Minami talking about growing the Bayonetta brand... with Nintendo.
Good one.
Not at all. The games going to be terrific. But that's the way of life. Zelda on the Wii U will probably be terrific too, but if you want to play it you'd have to buy the Wii U, same with Bayonetta 2. It's a Nintendo game pretty much. It sucks for people who don't have a Wii U but that's the whole point. Games like this exist in predicaments such as this so people buy the Wii U. Why would you buy the Wii U if there was nothing to entice you?
since they'd be at sony, they could team up with naughty dog and all be awful together. of course, jason rubin would need to come back to complete the trifecta.

Judging by some posts in the NG3 and Rayman threads, yes some did.
I understand people being concerned from thIs angle: if Bayo and 101 are the only games that would make someone buy a Wii U, I'm sure they would want to be cautious about shelling out for a system when they can just get ports for their preferred system a year later and not have to waste money on a Wii U.
I'm not exactly this person, but I sort of am. Rayman, Bayo and 101 all destroy anything else being offered for the system so far, announced or speculated.

Yeah people act like it's obvious but a majority the posts say otherwise.

They fund these projects, what do people expect.
they expect nintendo to die and for it to be a cheap funeral.

Yep. People might wonder what good that does for Sega or Nintendo, but the reality is likely very simple: It keeps Sega's name attached to a high-quality franchise while Nintendo end up paying a little bit less for what is, in all probability, complete exclusivity.

This is a fairly likely scenario I would've thought.
A bit like Nirvana and Sub Pop.

Then the meltdowns from others were over nothing? And people today again rushing to Kamiyas twitter again desperately asking for a port

I sure did want to play Rayman Legends, but not these two. So I guess everything worked out okay.
