Support NeoGAF

[Rygar 8 Bit]

nintendo dropped a bomb on it

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

GAF is slowing to a crawl.
I love it when GAF does that <3

 

[Comandr]

Dat Bayonetta 2. HNNNGGG.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Biggest megaton...

 

[ezekial45]

What other games has Yusuke Hashimoto worked on?

 

[liger05]

Release in all regions around same time?

If not then Bayonetta 2 has probably convinced me to get a Japanese Wii U on import.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

no interest in this system to day one

Welk maybe not day 1 but sometime in the future. I personally have never been a fan of Bayo but I understand that it was a moderate success and lots of GAF liked it.

 

[Hindle]

Holy shit! Instant system seller! Fucking hell.

 

[fi1ip]

Mega Megaton!!

 

[Coppertracks]

THE BOMB WAS DROPPED!!!!

DAY ONE!!! ALL MY MONEY!!!!

 

[WickedLaharl]

Exclusive. Confirmed in European stream

That's unfortunate but maybe I'll get to play it someday.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Whoooot!! That is all =p

 

[Leezard]

I never thought I would consider buying the Wii U day one. This Nintendo Direct piqued my interest.

 

[adversesolutions]

Announce Sin & Punishment 3, Treasure!

 

[a Master Ninja]

Welp, now I need to buy a WiiU sooner rather than later. It's become the Platinum box.

 

[ohlawd]

Pikmin 3, Project P-100, Rayman Legends, ZombiU, Bayonetta 2...

Big 5 son.

fuck yeah my future Wii U purchase is already justified.

 

[The_Monk]

nintendo dropped a bomb on it

Seriously. It was not expected. I'm in shock. But there's no way one game will make me buy a Wii U

...

Stop! It's not, I'm strong.

 

[Danny-Boy]

wii u exclusive? wow.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Sega clearly didn't want to make it, so even if it's exclusive to one console, we are still getting the game. It's much better than not getting the game at all.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

I am SO in love with Nintendo right now. Seriously.
I want Nintendo to be there forever until the day I die.

 

[TreIII]

So. Awesome. Our queen is coming back to save Stylish Action games.

 

[AcceptableGhost]

I thought Sega owned the IP? What does this mean?

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Guess they just boosted Wii U sales by about 30,000. Savvy business move, everyone.

 

[Animaniac]

OH MY FUCK

 

[jett]

Oh wow Nintendo revived Bayonetta 2! Now that's pretty awesome.

 

[Setsuna]

what the fuck man

 

[Plinko]

Cancel Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance now and bring Bayonetta 2 multiplatform!

The fandom demands it!

Port-begging ALREADY?

 

[1-D_FTW]

Did Rockstar say a few weeks ago we'll show you more GTA V in a few weeks. Please be today, the reaction would glorious.

The reaction on Wallstreet would be hilarious when Rockstar stock would drop through the floor. What is wrong with you? No console launch can support that kind of game budget. By any console company.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Man, I really didn't want to buy a new console anymore

 

[EatChildren]

Bad sequel to awful original on terribad console.

Pass.

 

[Hindle]

Aw man just released Kamiya San isn't behind this. I'll still keep an eye on it though.

 

[Phonomezer]

But why? Is this the way for Nintendo to grab more fans for Wii U?

I guess it is...

I'm not afraid to say that I'm incredibly fucked off that this isn't going to be on other platforms. Who bought Bayonetta on Wi- OH.

I am glad that it exists though, hopefully this is successful and we get another Bayonetta next gen.

 

[kuroshiki]

HOLY SHIT. Totally didn't see this coming.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Well, I guess my WiiU preorder was justified.

 

[demidar]

If it's published by Nintendo, it'll be damn near impossible for it to be ported. Nintendo and Platinum seem awfully chummy as of late.

 

[heliosRAzi]

Sega just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Bayonetta 2 for WiiU, nor will they purchase any of Sega's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sega has alienated an entire market with this move.

Sega, publicly apologize and cancel Bayonetta for WiiU or you can kiss your business goodbye.

For those who don't know, Yusuke is the producer of the original game.

This is should have totally been at fucking E3, but oh well IM SO HAPPY NINTENDO ACTUALLY DROPPED A BOMB!

 

[Kade]

Bad sequel to awful original on terribad console.

Pass.

That's really rude of you, man. I expected better from a moderator.

 

[FearMyWrench]

Awww shit.

 

[Kouichi]

Wii U exclusive?! God Damn. Megaton.

 

[Snuggles]

Whoa.

I guess I pretty much have to buy a Wii-U at this point. With Rayman and TWO exclusive Platinum titles planned, I have no choice. Crazy news.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Glorious. Fucking glorious

 

[demosthenes]

Biggest megaton...

I loved the first game, but NO. JUST NO. LOL.
