Not that I'm saying this'll be like DMC2, but DMC2 happened and he hasn't eaten his own balls yet.

I suspect that Kamiya was originally the director of Bayonetta 2 and that after the game was cancelled, he began working on W101 for Nintendo. Between Bayonetta and now we literally had no idea what he was doing, so unless he wasn't directing anything until he picked up W101, it had to have been Bayonetta 2.
Now, of course, he's busy being the main man on W101 so they've appointed someone else to finish the job with Kamiya looking over his shoulder.

Madworld is greatness. Anyone that loves old school beat em ups needs to play it.

Madworld was seriously held back by it's low production budget. From the frequently looping audio samples to the low quality cutscenes and underdeveloped mechanics, you could tell that the game simply didn't get the budget or staff it needed to bring it's vision to life.
It was good for what it was, but it also is one of my least played Wii games to date with less than 7 hours of total gameplay, in which time I finished it, and never had the urge to play it again. I wanted to love it, but it was just too unpolished to enjoy for me.
I still maintain that if the game had a proper budget and staff that it could've been the amazing brawler that it should've been.
Somehow I doubt that Bayonetta 2 will suffer from an inadequate budget or staff.

According to one of Kamiya's tweets Hashimoto actually volunteered to direct Bayonetta 2.
Hirono Sato is a bit worrying, he's the weak link there from the looks of it because his track record is shockingly bad:

I'm pretty sure Kamiya doesn't make sequels to his own games, and to be perfectly honest, aside from technical issues (framerate drops even on the 360) and a few gimmick missions, Bayonetta was a perfect game. I just don't see what they could add to it, personally.
And reproduction as well.

It's mindshare
It's pretty obvious they've been agressively tackling this, but Wii and to a lesser extent DS weren't the best homes to succesfully achieve this. An early launch and beefing up the hardware should help a lot. It'll mean jack shit to western oriented games though

The Astro Boy game in question is this atrocity.
Agreed on Omega Factor, though. Definitely one of the best handheld games ever made.
It might not matter if the west becomes as mobile/facebook obsessed as it seems to be trending towards.
Correct. With Kamiya supervising overall development.
Edit: So he can do his equivalent of flipping the tea table.
So what Forbes is saying is Nintendo wants Japan to be Nintendo Land?, with all the exclusive Japanese games coming to Nintendo systems I wouldn't be shocked.

I'm really excited at the prospect of there possibly being three (or four?!) Platinum games next year, for the US. That's madness.
Why would Captain Falcon fight like Gene? He isn't a kung-fu master who potentially knows hundreds of moves. He's pretty famous for a handful of moves.

He actually came out and said that he has no issue with making sequels to his own games, and that in fact he's wanted to make sequels for all of his games but never gets the chance to (and this was only a few days ago).

They patched it. It's perfectly playable, but doesn't run or look quite as good as the 360 version.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Compared to the 360 version, it's shit. Less stable framerate, worse graphics, and tearing. It's a typically problematic PS3 port.
Buuut I picked it up when I got my PS3, along with Vanquish, and unless you're really anal about the framerate/tearing it's totally playable and enjoyable. It's not 'broken' or anything. Pre-patch the main issue was ludicrously long load times. The patch included an install option, which speeds up loads dramatically.
As someone else put it, if the PS3 version is the difference between playing Bayonetta and never playing Bayonetta, then pick it up.
The demos for ps3 and 360 bayonetta were different.
Not really sure if that was just to show different parts of the game or due to limitations of the ps3 port. For example the 360 had the intro part with the falling clocktower and I dont remember the ps3 demo starting the same way.

Who the fuck cares? Besides his current lore is that he is a Bounty Hunter when he isn't racing and his current moves are based on martial arts. Just fluff that shit up.
It would print money.
MadWorld was directed by Shigenori Nishikawa, who is nowhere in sight, but yeah I'm curious about what exactly Sato handled in MadWorld.
Madworld doesn't play like any classic belt scroll games in the slightest. It's a complete pushover of a game on all difficulties, with a boring scoring system slapped on to the not-all-that-varied kill options as a bandaid. Great soundtrack, and the commentary was good, but it's easily (easily) Platinum's worst action game and a lesser game than all the arcade belt scroll greats.
They've been releasing aces ever since, though, including Max Anarchy, so I'm not worried yet.

It's obvious how much the hardcore fan base doesn't like the choice of this game being a Wii U exclusive, but in the end they will still buy it on Wii U for the fact that they care so much in the first place.....
Forbes.com: "Nintendo is stealing all our games!"
Anyway, I don't think it's a bad thing for the games to be handled/funded by Nintendo. Not sure about the developers, it was not supposed to be easy to develop for Nintendo in the West from what I've read, but it surely has to be a great experience.
He went to work at Tango with Mikami. Sato's track record is far worse than his though, I wish he wasn't credited as Lead Game Designer for this.

Indeed. I remember how he was annoyed when Okamiden came out, because he wanted to make a sequel to Okami, but Okamiden made him lose interest.
You just gave me a smidge of interest in Max Anarchy.

Has it been discussed how people feel the Wii U controller will seem like a natural adaption coming from the XBOX 360 controller? I know the Wii U's triggers aren't quite the same, but as far as I remember they didn't use pressure sensitivity with Bayonetta.
Also, can someone compile a list of those who were on the original Bayonetta that aren't on the sequel. Daunting task...is anyone up for it??

I seem to remember the clocktower part on the PS3 demo but it wasn't there in later versions of the demo or I'm not remembering right it's probably because the clocktower part runs pretty shitty on PS3.

Captain Falcon's knee alone potentially knows hundreds of moves.

I'm still so excited for an uber optimized game from them on an innovative system.
It certainly has hundreds of uses. Base a game around those uses and there you have it. The isn't just used for fighting, oh no...the knee is used for living.

Has any one considered, given NOA's track record, that they might just plain ol' not release Bayonetta 2 in North America?
Select your units on the GamePad without pausing the game.
It was already announced for NA.
...but they confirmed they would released it during the conference on the 13th
