I just upgraded my PC, and I was really hoping I wouldn't have to buy any next-gen console for at least a few years yet.
But here we are.

I understand why you're upset.
You could always buy a Wii U and Bayonetta used, and sell it again and lose almost no money though.

So is this one of those things where Nintendo is publishing it in Japan, like square-enix does call of duty and Sony did the game I'm currently forgetting. Or is this Nintendo publishing it everywhere.
Big news considering there were lots of fans here. I'm not one of them but big news none the less.

I don't think anyone is finding it confusing.
Someone, on the other hand, will find it disappointing, because they love the first game and they weren't planning to purchase a Wii U.
Yeah, of course, Nintendo "revived" it, but that hardly matters for these people.
If you were going to tell me that Baldur's Gate 3 is going to be a PS4 exclusive I wouldn't say "Oh, thank God Sony revived it", I would say "What the fuck, why a PC classic isn't coming on PC? I'm mad right now".
It really doesn't strike me as a hard concept to grasp.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
No date attached to this yet is there? Maybe this console will bomba and a price-drop before I'm forced to buy it.
This is what I get for idly mentioning "a third party exclusive that could happen and force my hand". This is pretty much the fucking definition. I don't think GAF understands how much I am freaking out. I took twice as long on an assignment because my shit is loco. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND CHIEF, BAYONETTA 2. FOR THAT EXPENSIVE NEW THING I DIDN'T WANT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I felt the same way when Microsoft bought Bungie and announced that Halo, a game I had been super-hyped about for since being unveiled as more of a large-scale tactical shooter, was going to be an XBOX exclusive. I lucked out in the end, I suppose, when it turned out the game went in a direction I wasn't particularly fond of, exclusive or not.
In short: Deal with it.

Are you alright?
I didn't call it an outright button masher. I played a demo of Bayonetta but all of DMC4 on PC. If you wanna get S rank on all the levels it requires skill and knowledge of all the combos and moves but if you just wanna beat the game you can button mash your way through it easily because it doesn't require you to know how to do everything.
Sure, but it really seems like there would be no Bayonetta 2 at all if not for Nintendo.
Wii U went from "when it's cheap at the end of the generation maybe but probably not even that" to "day one" for me with this. Whatever Nintendo had planned when they decided to fund this, worked. I can't believe there are people complaining about this being exclusive. Isn't it pretty well known that it was being worked on and then cancelled? Nintendo should be praised for having the sense to save this game, when no other publisher did.
Well, I guess I'm lying that I can't believe that people are complaining, because I always get the feeling that a lot of people here aren't really interested in games (ie, they are non-gamers) even though they desperately pretend to be when I read threads most of the time, but it's sad to see that confirmed so blatantly.
"i just wanna see the ending!! i'll just button mash my way through!!"
You are the type that gets played by games, not the other way around.

I'm not dismissing that fact nor do I want Bayonetta 2 not to exist.
The situation itself just isn't desirable for some Bayonetta 1 fans, keyword is desirable.
Why would you do that?

Nice.
Published by Nintendo means *funded* by Nintendo. They paid for development, they own the results of that development... meaning that they are likely to own the rights to the code that makes up the game.
I suspect it's the case that Sega would still own the rights to the character and the IP in general, but the specific rights to the *game* "Bayonetta 2" are owned by Nintendo.
(It's not impossible for Nintendo to have relinquished those rights in their contract, admittedly, but it strikes me as extremely unlikely.)

I guess I'd be shocked if this didn't end up on other platforms in some guise at some point next generation. Still, I won't be buying a WiiU so as a Bayonetta fan it will suck if I turn out to be wrong. I'm sure Nintendo fans and future WiiU owners are happy as hell and feeling pretty cocky, though.

That's just the way it is. The desirable situation is no longer an option. I don't know what else to tell you.

Do we actually know it was canceled? Wasn't that just a rumor? A rumor that could have stemmed from the PS360 versions being canned, and someone jumping to conclusions?
And couldn't this be a timed exclusive?

What about Fatal Frame 4?
So I guess you didn't meet these guys.
That speaks volumes.

They did? When did it come out.
Wii U is a uniter not a divider.

You said "clearly" would not be a word used to describe Sega not wanting to publish Bayonetta 2.
This tweet clearly shows, that at some point they did, but then it got cancelled.
I'm confused.

This really doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand.
And funny attempt at trying to be badass with "Deal with it."
Umm, yeah? The way I'll deal with it is to miss out on Bayonetta 2 because I don't want a Wii-U. The situation is insanely easy to deal with.
You don't really need to say anything, I'm not throwing a tantrum over not possibly getting Bayonetta 2, I was just offering a different view on the situation.

The Iwata Asks for this should be rather interesting. Also seems like Nintendo can't win: core gamers say there's not enough games tailored to their interests on the system, and they're not interested in buying. Nintendo announces a core, desired game. Same people who complained about the lack of those kind of games get angry for having to buy the system to play it. Makes no sense.

I didn't read all of your post but I read part of it.
And the part I read is terrible and doesn't even form two complete sentences. That isn't up to par with other posts on the board, even in this thread!

Just to preface: I'm not trying to counter you specifically, but more these sentiments. On a scale of things, I think this situation is perfectly desirable. Not desirable would be something awful like an iOS/Android sequel, and/or f2p, either of which may have well been the same thing as no sequel to Bayo 1.
This thread is clear proof that for some it certainly isn't easy to deal with. As far as I'm concerned, you are either a fan of the game or you aren't. Platforms change all the time, and whining about that won't change the fact that you are getting a game that was previously never coming out, and all that's asked is you play it on a newer platform, instead of being left with nothing but wondering over a dead franchise.

If the game is designed to be easy enough to play it like that, I don't feel it's necessary to go out of my way to learn everything, which was my point. Getting an S rank on all levels doesn't do anything for me. They should've made the game that hard in the first place. I don't why people are having heart attacks over that.
Steelo's has one post on Bayonetta and about 57 on TWEWY iOS, so he'll need to work harder for one of those.
I think you mean Gracious and Glorious, those fucking gold-plated assholes.
This is not really accurate.
DQIX was published by Nintendo in the US, but was funded by S-E. Nintendo only funded the publishing part, not the development of the game.
That's a silly point. Bayonetta fans should be willing to play Bayonetta.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Got news for the "WiiU exclusive" whiners:
Platinum Games doesn't owe you shit.
If you don't want to buy a WiiU to play it, then don't.
