What makes you think that? You think Nintendo paid enough money to offset the loss of the other two versions?

As cool as this is, I'm still not getting one.

Good move on their part, but being one of the five people on the planet who didn't care for Bayonetta this means nothing to me.
Sega. And it doesn't mean either. Most likely they're paying them a license fee.

I came into this thread to try and craft a well worded post to convey my excitement, and all I can think of is spelling out me screaming like a school girl... guess what a school girl screaming sounds like?
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Dang nabbit. From Day Never club to Day 1 club.
Get this thing to me now. I mean right now.
Also, if Baynetta shows up in Smash ... jeez .. nintendo you old dogs, you've done it again.

They wouldn't be missing the other systems since their games sell like shit anyways. Two damn platinum exclusives on this system have me sold on the WiiU. Not day one though. I'll get it on a price drop.

Bayonetta in the next Smash Bros would be awesome.

Not directed by Kamiya drops my hype level considerably, I remember Viewtiful Joe 2.
So, so excited. Bayonetta was the nearest thing to Ninja Gaiden in terms of environments and atmosphere. The combat was every bit as fun too.
After the epic fail of Ninja Gaiden 3, this news couldn't be more welcome. Part of me wonders what a next-gen (720/PS4) Bayonetta would have looked like though, and now we may never know. But this is 1,000,000x better than no Bayonetta 2, which would likely have been the alternative if Nintendo hadn't have stepped in.

Second stage of grief is anger.
Bayonetta 2 #1 trending Worldwide on Twitter right now, the fuck?
Pretty sure it broke twitter for like 10 minutes or so, I was trying to tweet kamiya but couldn't
The really significant point is that we know Sega dropped the game.
This doesn't suggest the game was experiencing some major bidding war, and Nintendo won the bidding. It suggests the game had been dropped, and Nintendo saved it.
If web01 has other evidence I don't know about, he's free to bring that forward. Regardless, I don't care about this game!

I just beat Bayonetta a few days ago and it was such an awesome game. I didn't even know a second one was being planned so this is awesome news. Will definitely look into getting a WiiU.

I had no day one interest prior this news well played Nintendo.
Are you serious here? Don't play with me, I loved Ninja Gaiden Black and liked NG2, is Bayonetta really that good in terms of combat / speed / difficulty?
I may have to try it out on the 360 now.
Yes. I wasn't paying any attention before. Multitasking too much.

Third stage of grief is bargaining.
They know you're on Gaf man, they know you've been spilling the beans. Take whatever you can and get outta there, the Ninjas are coming for you!
I think the reason why Nintendo's got it exclusive is because Sega's not willing to front the money for advertising and are looking to hand Platinum off since it doesn't jive with their all online plan and had lackluster success (due in part because Sega didn't do shit for advertising). Nintendo has the money and needs killer apps to make the Wii U a success with the hardcore. If all goes well and Bayonetta becomes profitable Nintendo acquires Platinum. /fanfic

They aren't ignoring anything. Rumors suggested that Sega canned Bayonetta 2. So the most likely scenario is that Nintendo swooped in and saved the project. As a result it's now exclusive to the Wii U.

DMC3 was also not directed by Kamiya.

Got Bayonetta shrinked wrapped collecting dust. I only bought it because it was cheap, maybe this is motivation to give it a shot.

Yeah OK, because Bayonetta sold so well on ps360...
Same. Haven't yelled like that at a video game announcement in... shoot, since Mario Sunshine.
My guess would be the game was canceled, so Nintendo went shopping and revived it.

hey maybe if more of yall bought the first game. This wouldn't have happened.
This can't flop any worse than the first.

Well I doubt it was Platinum that needed seducing, it'd be Sega, and they have no reason not to really, unless all three first parties courted it. Sony probably wouldn't because of GoW, but MS might have.
On the contrary, the second is far more likely considering Sega's current financial situation and publishing philosophy. Sega outwardly announced that they were going to pass on global retail releases not named Sonic, Aliens, Total War, and Football Manager.
