Kickstarter, how the fuck does it work!?
Are you suggesting Sega should've done a Kickstarter to fund Bayonetta 2?

Oh absolutely. This project was publicly announced as dead in the water. Any real ire ought to be directed at Sony or MS for not doing what Nintendo did: saving it.
Would you be willing to pay $300 for a console + $60 for a game if said game was the only thing that interested you on said console? I know some GAFfers bought PS3s for like $800 just for FF XIII or whatever, but people who buy a console for one single game are in the minority.
I honestly think its more that people bought an app on the iPhone and then saw the sequel released exclusively on android.
I don't understand why people bother to whinge about it at length but I totally understand why it pisses people off. Imagine watching two films of a trilogy on blu-ray and then the third is released exclusively on hd-dvd.
I mean, we can dance the analogy dance all night but ultimately what's done is done. Bayonetta fans either buy a Wii-U or they miss out on the game. That's all there is to it. I don't think it's going to kill anyone to miss out on a single videogame, far worse fates could befall us.
If the deal works, they might as well.
Platinum couldn't ask for a more powerful publisher, and get the impression there's a lot of mutual respect going on here.
Difference is, you could still play the game on PS3. Now, everyone that bought the first game for a MS or Sony console is now forced to buy Nintendo's new console to see how the sequel unfolds. Same thing with Devil May Cry, went to 360 but was still on PS3. Could you imagine if Gears of War 4 all the sudden was published by Sony on the PS4? Rage of 1000 suns.

Do you buy every console every gen?
If not, why not? Don't pretend there aren't two games that interest you.
If I wanted the ame bad enough yeah. I bought a $600 ps3, projector, receiver, and 5.1 system just for MGS4. If literally no other game was released or the system it would have been worth it.

I wonder how much more detailed Bayonetta's ass will be in this one?

This is important to me. I hope they don't request any kind of downplay to the sexual tones of Bayonetta. For once, I loved seeing a lead woman who was both extremely sexual [i]and[/i] strong (both physically and emotionally). I'm not saying she was a deep character or anything, but I loved her attitude and her revealing attire to match.
Same feeling here and its heartwarming.
Nintendo X Platinum can only lead to good things, of this I am sure.
Production Studio 4 said:"For the growth of the gaming industry. For GameCube. These words describe our initial thoughts. In an industry where you create to amuse and entertain, do you sense a crisis about the industry's continuing regression of excitement and new stimulation?
"We believe that the regression of excitement is solely the fault and responsibility of we creators. By the same token, we believe it is also our mission and responsibility to create something that is 'worth seeing' for the user.
"In a market that has become prosaic with character dependant games and sequel games, we would like to take this opportunity to announce five new and exciting games for GameCube."
The difference also is that those games were going to be made without exclusivity.
Bayonetta 2 does not exist without Nintendo.
That is the big difference between those games and this.
Do people not understand this part of it?

As someone who met the announcement with a very lukewarm reaction, I wouldn't have been very excited with a PS4/Nextbox announcement either. For pretty much the same reason: if I had to choose between (current) hardware I already own and a new machine that has yet to justify my owning it, I'll always choose the former. I guess that just means I'm a cheap bastard though.I have a hard time believing that if the sequel was announced for PS4 and the 360 successor there would be this much griping because people had to purchase a new console for the game. People currently think the WiiU is going to have a worse library than those platforms despite knowing nothing about what's going to be on them.
Nintendo is publishing it world wide. This means, ONLY Nintendo is getting the game.
If there will ever be something like a "Bayonetta 2 - Ultimate Ass Wiggling Edition" which includes all the DLC and new levels, moves and a side-story, then that MAY be coming to other consoles, if Nintendo isn't fast enough to publish that too. And this too is only happening if that's even possible given we don't know what kind of publishing contract Nintendo has made with Sega and Platinum.
They might be publishing this game only in the vanilla version. They may also have the publishing rights for every possible updated rerelease. We don't know.
"Gamers"
Would prefer a series die by the hands of Sega than to have it revived by the grace of Nintendo ...
So SEGA must own the IP that's why they are involved. I would love to hear the backstory on this game's development.
Release it on 360 or no sale.

I don't get the anger. Sony and Microsoft chose not to back the game. Nintendo did.
Did the first Bayonetta even come out for the Wii?
I just wanted to reiterate that Platinum is keeping action games alive with this and Metal Gear Raiden. I just wish Tecmo was capable of fixing Ninja Gaiden and Capcom would outsource Devil May Cry to Platinum. Only on Dream World.
What am I saying? Bayonetta 2 is real...holy crap! Living in Dream World right now!!
Who would have ever thought that Nintendo could bring this game back??

Nope. But it did have it's own platinum developed game though. It was a good one too
No it didn't, and a part of me wonders whether they'd try to get that on there somehow too at some point.Did the first Bayonetta even come out for the Wii?
Then I find myself surprised that you can't empathise with people that don't want to buy every console.
I usually do buy them all and inevitably end up with buyers remorse. I've promised myself I won't do that this time, but we shall see. New toys are fun, after all.

Port-begging bans are the hot thing today, you know...
I imagine after Nintendo saw Bayonetta 2, they went to Sega who was sat on a park bench swigging from a bottle of gin in a brown paper bag:
"Bad times huh?"
"Yeah man, sucks. Can you spare some change?"
"You need that Bayonetta 2 right now?"
"No man, can't even bloody finish it. Yours for a tenner?"
"Ok, there you go"
"Thanks Nintendo, always knew I could count on you"
"Don't spend it on drugs Sega"
I think that's how it went.
Kinda like backseat modding, come to think of it.
Indeed. I suggest neither of you push your luck.
