It's not. There's memos you can pick up off the ground, so they are optional. Recommended, tho.

I'm beautiful, you're just a hater :rollseyes:Sorry to jump in but we all know you ugliest the one around :Olol
Bayonetta is sexy regardless. Change is good dont act like the outfit didnt change either she looks somewhat modern now. Dem earrings
It'd be a massive grab for Nintendo, as Platinum has several studios, and Nintendo needs more high quality developers (desperately). Granted, Platinum games don't seem to sell that well for some reason. But hey, it'd mean more high quality exclusives for Nintendo.
As long as Platinum games has free reign to do whatever they please, I am content.

Platinum are an extremely efficent studio that create some of the best games in the AAA space, with some of the cheapest budgets.
The bayonetta situation was unique as Sega Obviously wanted to go alot further with her at one point with even a movie planned. Bayonetta 2 fell victim of Segas holding company pulling the leash and wasnt because platinum suddenly stopped being able to aquire funding.
In an industry that Ninja theory and spark unlimited can continuously get work, an independant platinum will be just fine.
YES!!! Infinite Space is one of my favorite games of all time - such an epic story line.
That said, I can't wait for Bayo 2.

Sounds fantastic. I'll have to pick up the original Bayonetta and play through that before the sequel comes out. I think it's a mistake not putting the first game on the eshop.

Just give me a release date for Bayo 2 so I can know when to get my Wii U.
Bayo 2 is like the second coming of video game Jesus, I'm not surprised that there are unbelievers.

People are so upset that Bayo 2 is WiiU exclusive that they're coming up with paranoid shit about Platinum.

Nintendo needs to just go ahead and acquire Platinum Games and put them on a Metroid reboot already.
Well... I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to this. Even if we lose Rising 2 :'(
The last time Metroid got handed to an action game developer it didn't work out so well.

Could you imagine a Platinum Games redesign of an actual Metroid in the game? The art would be scary as shit, I bet.
Itagaki was gone by then, though. Team Ninja hasn't been the same since. I would be a bit worried how they would handle the exploration stuff, though.
It is all speculation.
People are saying because if it does happen fanboys around the world will be pissed as hell like when Bayonetta 2 was first announced
Nintendo needs a good developers to make "mature" games and bolster their portfolio of games.
The fact that Nintendo has not only one but two games from the same developer meaning that there is some good relationship between them going on.

Yeeaaaaaaaah, this guy knows what's up.
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
It would guarantee Platinum output for many years.
As much as I would like to see the meltdowns, Nintendo itself has already said is not in their plans to acquire any more studios. They have mentioned it serves no purpose since the talent usually leaves.

One of the greatest ironies in gaming. People were terrified about what Team Ninja would do to Metroid, but we should have been afraid the other way around. Team Ninja's actual contribution was the best aspect of the game, Samus finally recovered her agility and speed, she actually surpassed previous entries.

I wonder what Platinum could do with Sin and Punishment?

This has been gone over more than a thousand times. You want to play this game? You buy a Wii U. Otherwise, you are not getting it.
it's all speculation. we've already heard them talk about how they enjoyed being independent since they started working with nintendo so this talk was pretty much shot in the foot early. the speculation probably stems from how constant discussion about how nintendo needs to acquire studios. platinum isn't in the position that monolith was, though. they're already pretty bulky on talent. i can't see any obvious benefit to them doing it unless there's some personal shit we don't know about like debt.

In Platinum We Trust
Bayo 2 will be the main reason I buy a Wii U. Now for the long, torturous wait.

Man, seems like a lot of people have never bought a console just to play a few exclusive games before. If you have any interest at all in Nintendo properties along with your PG love then a Wii U is a no-brainer. Surely Nintendo will do something this fall to make the system more affordable or enticing.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
I'm glad Nintendo is making sure one of the very few decent games it has on its alive (not dead yet) whatever-gen console is being looked after by Nintendapo.
But will it save the system? Can pigs fly? You get the picture.

For me personally, there are no must-haves on the Wii U yet or in the near future. I'm a huge fan of Zelda (enjoyed Wind Waker but not enough to buy HD ) so if the Wii U Zelda was out today, I'd buy the console in a heart beat. Out of all the Wii U games I played at E3, Bayo 2 and Mario Kart 8 were the only two titles that caught my interest. And those aren't coming out until next year.

Kid icarus had so few tutorials that people were straight up playing it wrong. Nintendo seems fairly hands off with its more core-oriented IP.

Variety. This kind of game is very scarse, and people seem to like Platinum Games for this genre. It's definitely cheaper and more flexible than trying to get something like GTA or some otger big, expensive franchise.
Plus, this game relies heavily on gameplay, so it fits Nintendo's desigb standards.

Wonderful 101 is also a title I will pick up eventually. I know it's releasing soon in a couple of weeks but that's a title I can hold off on. Nothing but love for Kamiya and Platinum. Bayonetta is my favorite action game of all time... of all time. I even have the Future Press guide, unopened and am currently waiting for the Eyes of Bayonetta artbook to be shipped.
So I don't have Bayonetta yet, and I've read the thread a while back about the differences between 360 and PS3.... But I forget; are the patches in the PS3 good enough to make it perform or look as good as the 360 version?
And this interview makes me want to buy Bayonetta before Bayo2 comes out. Thanks knowledge-GAF!

PS3 version is better now from what I've read, but 360 is still the superior version.
EDIT: And yes... do play the first one. It's not overhyped.

360S still better, but ps3 is now perfectly competent.
Patches mostly improve the load time, framerate still crap, but still worth playing if you don't have a 360, don't know about graphics, never paid attention to that, lol.
I have both 360 and PS3 but about 90% of my games are on PS3, so I would rather continue to grow the PS3 collection.
Edit: but Dat Framerate is haunting me...
There was a demo on psn, not sure if it's still available, but you could give that a try and see if the framerate bothers you.
I'll check, thanks!

I remember being turned off by the PS3 demo. I just went all in and bought it on 360 later and glad I did.

Just the thought that they are going to one up one of the best action games to ever grace the genre is hype inducing. I am so glad this wasn't just left to die by Sega. I never thought I'd see a sequel to Bayonetta but here we are. Doesn't seem like there is any need for concern with Kamiya not being as hands on with the sequel.
