i mean, its bayonetta 2, first game sucked but for some reason it became important to Wii U owners, i guess they are that desperate for software?

I.......*explodes*

Also Nintendo probably owns 101 as their own IP so of course its not going to other platforms.

You dont deserve that Falcao avatar.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

Judging by some posts in the NG3 and Rayman threads, yes some did.

then thy didn't know Nintendo funds these projects, I guess.

I thought the publisher of Bayonetta was Sega and not Nintendo.
Wonder how much they paid for this moneyhat.
Not so much I assume, since Bayonetta and the other games from the studio had pretty bad sales when compared to the other games of the genre.

 

[teeny]

SEGA I guess.

The same SEGA that killed the game because it wouldn't sell on the aforementioned consoles? I wouldn't hold your breath.

Sometimes, other people like things you may not like. I suggest you learn to deal with that fact.

They just can't accept it, I guess!

no

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Yeah, let's make endearing references to a company who refused to fund our game...

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Every game is exclusive until it is formally announced for other systems.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Can't blame people for hoping something good to happen even if the chance is small.

The chance isn't small, the chance of it happening is 0.

It's like saying you can't blame people for hoping a hot female genie will appear out of no where and start sucking their dicks while millions of dollars start falling from the sky.

You have the same chance of both things happening.





On another note Nintendo should just buy the IP from Sega. It would make a nice addiction to their portfolio, and fill a hole in their 1st party IP line up.

 

[BadWolf]

As much as I didn't want it to be true it was pretty obvious from day 1 that these are Nintendo exclusives.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Good news for Wii U owners. I wonder if they can confirm if Mario and Zelda will also remain exclusive.

 

[Gadirok]

I'm actually more interested in the sales of Bayonetta 2.

Of course it won't come to the Ps4/720. Its more likely that Nintendo will go third party and fall out, ahaha.

Who owns the intellectual property for bayonetta 2 though? Would it be possible for a goty edition or complete edition to release for the other consoles if the additions were funded by other sources outside of Nintendo?

LOL awesome post.

Would be nice if Nintendo buy up a lot of Sega's IPs. Not as if they use many of them anyways. Buy Valkyria Chronicles Nintendo.

 

[Projectjustice]

Gamers are so delusional. You want to play these games, buy a Wii U. Thats how exclusives work. Its like 80% of neogaf is as clueless as casuals.

Up to this point it's Sega, but we don't know all the details on the deal Nintendo made. Could be co-owned, now.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

By the time Bayonetta 2 is done, do people even want it on 360/PS3?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Pretty sure that didn't say the games were exclusive, maybe Nintendo will release them on Xbox and Playstation.
Terrible sensational thread title.

Again not a chance. Nintendo aren't going to allow some other Publisher to sell and make money off of content they've funded. Pretty sure copyright applies to scenarios as well too. So a company couldn't just remake Bayonetta 2 and release it as something else either.

 

[Delio]

Im amazed that people still go and ask if this is getting ported. Simply amazed.

either clueless or they think Nintendo is really nice.

 

[Conciliator]

I do not see how it is impossible; these things have a tendency to bend with time based on financial needs, desires, expectations, events, catastropes, etc.. I understand that Nintendo being involved in the publishing ties them together closely, but this is a volatile industry where crazier shit has happened.

I don't personally have much of a stake, I'll follow Platinum just about anywhere and then includes towards a Wii U purchase when these games are out.

If Nintendo owns TW101 IP how in the world do you think it is getting ported?

No chance? Oh man!

Yup, thread title should have been 'Nintendo may publish Bayonetta 2 on Xbox and Playstation'

No chance? Oh man!

Well, there is a chance. It's only really really small. About as big as an evil, ugly looking dude kissing with your wife while all your money gets sucked into a black hole.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Haven't you heard? Nintendo are doomed! They're going to be having a fire-sale next week to sell of all their IP and go third-party on MS & Sony.

Keep your mealy eyes off our games you lot. You've already had Rayman. Buy a Wii-U for these

 

[Porcile]

Has Nintendo ever funded a game's development and not owned the IP?

How did it work with Rare?

edit - I'm guessing they sold the IP's along with their interest back when it happened?

 

[Delio]

either clueless or they think Nintendo is really nice.

Apparently there are far more clueless people than I realized.

 

[Conciliator]

Those things can change to. Nintendo could sell it, license it,

Spoiler

nintendo could get out of the hardware business

. TW101 could be a flop and/or terrible and no longer valuable to them. I don't think any of these things are likely, but they're hardly impossible.

 

[gamergirly]

Clueless and desperate to see Nintendo fail

 

[Glass Rebel]

First a new Call of Duty for 2013 and now this. This week had some really unexpected and downright shocking news.

If it flops, I see an even smaller chance for it getting a port.

 

[B.O.O.M]

W101 is a Nintendo IP so that was never an issue. Who owns the Bayo IP? Sega or Platinum? Either way I personally don't really for either title though it would cool have Bayo. Really had fun with the first game, great great combat system. Pretty bad environments, story etc though. As is the norm with most Platinum games

 

[rCIZZLE]

Guess I'm never playing Bayonetta 2 then.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

By the time Bayonetta 2 is done, do people even want it on 360/PS3?

I can see some people want this game to be multi, the Bayonetta Fanbase is pretty much on PS360 and not everyone goes immediately NexGen and stops thinking about PS360.

I could win a billion dollars too. Anything is possible!

You get Rayman instead though! Win-Win! Yay

 

[joffocakes]

Guess I'm never playing Bayonetta 2 then.

I think it's still coming out on Wii U, so perhaps you could play it on that?

Nintendo published Banjo Kazooie as well, right? How were Rare able to get that on XBLA?

 

[iSnakeTk]

Good news for Wii U owners. I wonder if they can confirm if Mario and Zelda will also remain exclusive.

lol no way . Why would you release a game on 1 platform instead of 3 ? They would sell way more copies if the would go multi. Nintendo isn't that stupid.

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

The only reason I could see a tiny bit of chance that Bayonetta 2 could be eventually ported is because the IP is owned by Sega(/Platinum?). It is possible, although very unlikely given Sega was apparently not interested in a sequel, that Nintendo was so desperate for exclusive content that they agreed to fund it for a timed exclusivity. Nintendo, after all, had a significant hand on Razor's Edge, for what, 3 months of exclusivity?

W101 is a total different situation, though.

 

[japtor]

Yeah, pretty sure Nintendo owned everything then included the Rare developed original IP (i.e. Conker, Banjo, PD, etc) in the sale to MS.

These are the only likely scenario's in which this possible. And it's hugely hugely unlikely to ever happen in the short term. Maybe when it does happen in some long off future, I doubt people are going to care too much like the levels they are now.

Sure, I agree with all that. Point is nothing in this industry is chiseled in stone.

 

[Projectjustice]

You should look forward towards Bayo 3 then.

 

[StuBurns]

I think people are right that it'll remain exclusive, but for the wrong reason. We don't know, and we most likely never will, exactly what the contract says, but the publishing rights reverting to Sega seems highly possible. But even if it did, what are they going to do with it? Port it to PS3 and 360? A year after the next console? It wouldn't sell at all, and Sega already don't care about package games beyond a certain threshold. Even if they can port it, they won't.

 

[Conciliator]

I'm looking forward to Bayonetta 2, when I buy a Wii U to play it and 101(and the new Monolith game).

 

[Mael]

Gamers are so delusional. You want to play these games, buy a Wii U. Thats how exclusives work. Its like 80% of neogaf is as clueless as casuals.

You could make a good case that hardcore gamers in some (most?) cases are way more clueless in general...
Also if when the credit roles you see the usual text
"All music ..."
Then it's Nintendo's IP and no one else.
For W101 you've got more chance of seeing Golden Sun on Vita than seeing it ported.

 

[Valnen]

I'll still hold out hope. If not then they're games I'll never play.

Yeah, I'm not buying a Wii U just for Bayonetta 2. Only way I'll ever play it is if a bunch of other software comes to the system too.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

With all the port begging, one would assume Wii U is more expensive than Neo Geo on launch day. Just buy the thing.
