I can't believe how misinformed, ignorant, and stupid some of the reactions are. It seems like people would rather have Bayonetta 2 never exist in the first place, than be available but only on Wii U. At least now it is possible to play it unlike before when it was set to never release.

seems like kamiya was pretty serious about not wanting to please fans.
People really should be happy since its likely the game never wouldve been made without nintendo. That said, im not getting a wiiu and will thus never be able to play this
The second part of your post makes it very clear why people aren't happy.
People want the game to be on a console they plan on buying.
That the game might not have happened without Nintendo isn't much of a consolation if you're not going to get a Wii U.

Yeah, because all of those owners bought the first one!
Except calling Nintendo kiddie is implied now.

It's close..

People getting upset because a game that would not have existed is now being made for a system they don't own
How were you betrayed exactly? Honestly you're embarrassing yourself.

This post addresses the reason for people's displeasure.

I don't think they'd rather it not exist. But that it exist in a form that they're actually able to play. Rather than a perpetual tease.
I liked Bayonetta. But I'm not buying a system to play its sequel. I'd buy it's sequel though probably were it released on the console I currently have already.
Where does all the Nintendo-hate come from this, regarding Twitter/FB? Platinum seems like the perfect type of studio to do more edgy Nintendo exclusives. High dev pedigree, great history, specializes in wacky stuff, Japan-based. As long as Nintendo doesn't try to force feed them IP's in the future they'd do well to cultivate this partnership, a lot.
If only Mikami hadn't left, we might have seen a really awesome new Nintendo IP...

I can't tell if this is serious or not.
I'm just excited that Bayonetta 2 is still alive. If Nintendo is the only company that appreciates Platinum's genius, I may just have to get a Wii U.
Bayonetta 2, and Rayman Legends exclusive before the console is even released, not bad!
Nintendo is giving gamers reasons to purchase the software, not even counting internally developed stuff.
The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Rayman, and Zombi U all look like potentially great games, only available 1 place.
I think this may be Nintendo's attempts to stave off people who are "hardcore" and may balk at buying a system that isn't a monumental graphical leap, thus welcome back exclusivity contracts!
As a Nintendo/PC primarily gamer i'm all for it, especially if that means more 3rd party stuff actually pushing the system and using the tablet in non tacked on ways.

Well GAF and internetz, you have certainly educated me today.
Never in a million years did I think Nintendo would drop an announcement big enough to break twitter today. It looks like people are passionate about this Bayonetta thing though. That usually comes from a very good game.
Gonna have to check it out on an Xbox or Wii U if I get it and Bayo 1 comes out for it.

don't be silly, P-100 is a pikmin, no one who is a fan of platinum games even takes it seriously.
is there any reason why people are assuming the game wouldnt have existed if not for nintendo? sure the PS360 versions existed and were cancelled but it seems just as likely to me they were cancelled because nintendo wanted to buy exclusivity, or is there something that indicates otherwise? I feel like I'm missing part of the story here
This is the funny part:
It wouldn't exist without Nintendo. This is what makes most responses in this thread so funny. Denial at its finest
the ps3 version of bayo 1 is widely considered the worst port of the generation and then for still supporting it i don't even get the sequel?
Seems like most would rather have it be non-existent than on a Nintendo console. I mean, geez, at least the game exists in some playable form.
You got a sequel, just not on PS3. You wouldn't have gotten one if it weren't for Nintendo coming in to save the day. What's your problem? You said yourself you would eventually get a Wii. Are you not a fan of the game itself?

What a terrific pickup by Nintendo and I'm really happy to see the series isn't dead. My only hope is that they take a cautious approach with adding any motion gimmicks and keep the gameplay very similar to the first game.

There were heavy rumors of cancellation a while back, and some time later Sega confirmed that, outside of a few key IPs, that they would be cutting back on worldwide retail releases and focusing on digital distribution and iOS.

Well Sega explicitly cancelled the game before, but since it wasn't actually officially announced it wasn't very public knowledge.

So I was casually watching the stream on my phone at work in our coffee lounge, enjoying it, but whatever, right?
Once the Platinum thing started, and it was obvious it wasn't P-100, and those bullets in slow-motion came up, I literally stopped breathing. That's never happened to me before. For the few seconds between those bullets showed up until the gun heel stomped down, I was in some state of panic/excitement attack. It was strange. And kind of funny.
So yeah, I'm pretty happy about this. And The Wonderful 101.

I will say, this entire situation isn't doing wonders for the popular belief that anyone who buys a Nintendo console is an immature manbabby while people who only played games these last six years on the HD twins are part of the sophisticated grown up demographic.

SEGA basically announced they were ending all but a few core IPs, and complete silence on the Bayonetta front meant that everyone assumed it was dead.
oh god, did that happen?
don't play with my heart like that, the only thing I've been thinking since I saw the news was Bayo in SSB4.

Like how the Xbox 1 owners who bought the inferior version of MGS2 didn't get MGS3? I'm disappointed it's not multiplat too, but it's no point in crying over it. C'est la vie, things like this happens. I'm sure the game will be great, and at least the franchise will live on, even if I'll most likely never get the chance to play Bayonetta 2.

It happened months ago, and the fifth post in the thread was, I shit you not:
"Bayonetta 2 uncancelled and WiiU exclusive confirmed"

But people are able to play it if they really wanted to. I understand that buying a console for one game isn't the greatest bargain, but it is what it is.
And judging by the many comments against it, it's not even that it's exclusive to one platform. I sincerely believe that it's only an issue because it's Nintendo's platform.
Actual Wii U footage? It looks better than I expected.

No hiding my bias here. I'm fuckin' salty.
I'm just going to go hold this 'N' to my chest for a while.
I'll be fine. In the end, I'm glad it will see the light of day.

The last one is the best because the person posting it also doesn't seem to know the WiiU is a new system. lol

It looks great to me. The previews seem to be great.
Don't insinuate everyone is an idiot. Maybe the fans crying, "Waaah. Bayonetta is on WiiU. It's a kids console. My friends in 8th grade won't like me." won't give it a chance. Everyone else will. If anyone actually watched videos and read previews, which I'd expect a PG to do, they'd know it's really nothing like Pikmin.
