you're right, they should just release it for PC only and skip the console market altogether.
Agreed.
Hope.

Trade ya for bayonetta 2!
It's entirely up to Konami, though.
it isn't platinums decision to make

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
The canon storyline follow up to MGS4 definitely shouldnt show up on the only console its been released on, no sir. Nor should a Platinum game release on the 2 formats of which other Platinum game enjoyers also own now/owned at some point in time.
Everyone should learn to embrace multi-console ownership/get that second job. I could be demanding a Vita version of everything ever released, but I'm not. Deal.
Yeah. I'd rather get a superior version of the game first rather than one almost identical to the 2 existing versions apart from a few touchpad gimmicks.

Bad business is bad business. Late port is a bad idea, it needs to be same date as the others or what's the point.
They don't expect anything, it's just a more positive thing to say to people tweeting you than "ask Konami". The amount of people who have Wii U's and don't have PS3 or 360s is basically nothing, and if bandwidth went on another SKU, it'd be PC.

The Wii U already has a Ninja Gaiden. It doesn't need another one already. I'll put in another vote for Vanquish 2.
It's Konami's choice, if it was Platinum choice the Wii U version probably would be announced already and release the same day as the PS3/360 version.
What's with some people saying "no thanks"? More games are better.
your "canon storyline" argument is total bull. the franchises didn't start on PS3/360, they've moved platforms multiple times. MGS1 began on the PSX. MGS2 was on the PS2. i own every console except Vita, i just don't give a shit about playing it on 360 or PS3 anymore. the platforms are way too old. if it was on Wii U or PC, it would be within the realm of things that i'm willing to buy.

You think there are people that would own all three consoles and not buy a 360 or PS3 version if a Wii U version doesn't exist?

Exactly how do we show demand? Real question?
Do we buy Ninja Gaiden?

What's with the hate? It is getting extremely positive press reception and people seem to generally love the demo.

So you don't want it on the PS3 or 360 because they're old, but you'll play it on the Wii U even though it's highly unlikely that you'd see any improvements over those two versions?
Anyway, it seems like PC version is going to happen based on what they've said. I think that they'll go from that to developing the sequel.

It likely doesn't exist. Even in Japan I'd guess the people who would buy it on Wii U already own a PS3. I'd rather not see platinum wasting their limited resources.
On the other side of things, doesn't Capcom pull this crap when they actually have something? Like they ask if people want this or that, drums up attention and demand, and announces something magically ready a month later.
That's me. Even if it doesn't have whatever gamepad mechanics I'd just be happy with the off TV play.
If they even could release it there. 360 version was canceled for some reason, maybe Sony have it moneyhatted there.
at the minimum there would be tablet play, which is amazing.

My Vita version would be even more portable and amazing! Where is my petition to sign...

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Signed. The more games on Wii U the better, as far as I'm concerned.

360 and PS3 already have Ninja Gaiden. They don't need another one.

This. At this point we're looking at a 6 month late port at minimum and by that time TW101 will be out. Who knows how far along Bayonetta 2 is, but with it sandwiched between those games I have every intention of ignoring it. I played the demo and there was some great stuff, and then there was Blade Mode + all the stuff I loathe about MGS (10 tons of stupid dialogue and cutscenes murdering the flow of the action)
So yeah, whatever.
Basically Nintendo fronting all development and publishing costs for the Wii U version.

I am really surprised at how well the petition is doing actually.

Okay...
Give us a PC port along with that too.

Point still stands though...
It's Konami's decision to develop TW101 and Bayo 2 exclusively for Wii U, isn't it? Does Konami own PG?

Why do you guys do this to yourself?
go start one. i think the reason platinum games would even consider the Wii U one in the first place is because of how much they've been working on nintendo platforms lately, already planning to bring two somewhat similar action games to the console within the year.

I don't like shit like this but can't get upset when two exclusives are heading to the Wii U.
By the time this would come out for the Wii U, we could probably buy it for something else at a fraction of the cost. How about another exclusive instead?

Was it not their decision to pick up Nintendo as a publisher?
what...?

Uh no. You're reading too far into this. They mean what they say. If there is no demand for it, there is no point in porting it. Especially considering the Wii U's current install base might not even justify the financial investment into a port. Why don't people consider the amount of time and money needed to port a game?
However I hope they port vanquish and MGR to PC, there is demand and a sizable market.
Someone make a petition page for porting these two to PC
The trick should be to release it as a discount eshop title in 16 months when Ground Zeroes is a week from launching on all platforms, including Wii U.
For some random port out of nowhere, with nothing new but the gamepad support, it will simply tank being launched so much later. MGS is a series which sales is driven a lot by fans, so Revengeance will sell most of what'll sell in the first 2-3 months.

put it on steam fuck consoles
MGR is being published by Konami, with the development work being done by Platinum Games (independent entity). they have two new games being published by nintendo, but they are still an independent entity in that relationship. a studio can have two different products being published from two places at once.
What.
