You're alone on that hope.
If they'd accept an offer for Nintendo to fund it, that tells me it wouldn't exist otherwise.

:Oo
$$$ ?
Why?
The game won't get made unless someone funds it, like with Bayonetta 2.
We should be grateful for Nintendo's involvement.

Why would you hope they were wrong, we haven't gotten this game at all and if this were the case it would only be because of Nintendo we got it, but it's just a rumor

Well I've already sold my Wii U in anticipation for getting an NX, so that would be sweet for launch 
To build a solid launch line-up with good first and third party exclusives. It will make it look way better, expecially amongst the ones who buy a console at launch, the passionate gamers.
Get the hell out.
Clearly Ubisoft has been sitting on the game for a long time now. If Nintendo can bring the game to life then so be it.

Amazing if true.
I cannot wait till the NX floodgates officially open. Nintendo's been so quiet and I'm dying to see what they're sitting on.

Why would you hope that? That would be really nice.
Will be fun to see all the new salty threads and walls of shame NX will be able to bring, even if I doubt it'll beat Bayo 2.
Yeah but this is Nintendo where logic goes out the window.

At this point BG&E2 is NOT happening if Ubisoft are the company needing to finance it, everyone should be praying that Destructoid is right.
You can make the argument that they could have done much more collaborations like that on the Wii U and thus making it a more attractive console. If they secure several deals like this on the NX, chances of such a strategy paying off increases exponentially.

Whether or not that tactic worked for them once before, they still need to fund exclusive third party games for their console. It's not exactly something Nintendo invented with Bayo2.
-Dead Rising 3
-Rise of the Tomb Raider
-Street Fighter 3
-etc
Console holders fund exclusives. It's just that Nintendo is only able to pick the more nichey ones.

More like, "how in the world..?" type of thing 😮
You do realize nintendo dont give a damn about sales right? Why they get Devils third? Yeah.. vamoos
I prefer Beyond Good & Evil 2 on NX that not existing at all.
The way Ubisoft was treating the title with on and off again development I could see it being a title that will only exist if someone is willing to put some money down.
It was likely never a project Ubisoft was heavily invested in and they were always quick to practically kill the team and shift them to other projects as milestones on projects demanded.
If it is on NX it will be a case of Nintendo pulling the title from the grave otherwise it would have never seen the light of day

Nintendo does this all the time. The aim is to look attractive.
Hence why Nintendo keeps funding niche title 1st party.

May I have a cookie?
wow, this is some rumor.
Because Nintendo have been making many decisions in the past few years that are aimed at improving their relationship with developers, not just ones favorable for mass-consumers or their bottom line. See: Xenoblade and X, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Metroid Other M, Sin & Punishment 2, Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Devil's Third and many more rumored projects that didn't make it to release such as the rumored Yoot Saito colaboration on 3DS etc. Many of those weren't hugely successful and/or outright failed financially.
sarcasm?

I think this is propaganda!
Honestly though I'd love for it to be true. Ubi has had enough time to make it and they never got around to it despite all the promises. If Nintendo is willing to get it done, good for them.

Nintendo's decisions to continue to fund games that diversify their platforms are based on factors that often have little to do with making big bucks. It's really unusual and arguably poor business sense, especially when they fail to promote those games they're funding, but it's been like this for over a decade now. If Nintendo was actually worried about big games they're funding not selling a million, they would have closed Monolithsoft up a long time ago for example. We would also never have gotten Sin and Punishment 2.
You'll notice I specifically mentioned "cult favourite". The intention was to separate the funding of a Bayonetta sequel from, say, the co-funding of a sequel to a game that has ultimately sold over 8.5m copies.

are you fucking kidding me? if this means we're actually getting this game next year let's pray to the sun king, michel ancel, that they are right.
only literally the best game ever made.
Partnerships like these do tend to have other effects just outside of sales. The Bayo 2 deal probably moved some consoles and on top of that strengthened their relationship with Platinum.
The director on Bayo 2 is now working on Star Fox Zero with Miyamoto's team which probably wouldn't have happened without the two companies working closely on Bayo 2.
Exactly. If it happens, it's a good will gesture, not a smart business endeavor. And Nintrndo has the cash to burn, so they may as well.
That would mean it exists. Your hope may go to hell.
