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.

Yeah, was worried a little, but with that E3 demo and quote about Nintendo playing backup... I'm just counting down the months

This game is so going to be so hype. Platinum and Nintendo really are a match made in heaven,

Nintendo wouldn't buy Platinum though, especially if they keep working out these partnership games. Why buy a developer when the talent can just leave.

Exactly.

I would rather Nintendo make for plenty of other incentives for P* to keep working with them (re: fund the games that nobody else would be willing to publish is an easy one!), rather than buy them outright.

Hell, how about we have Nintendo talk to Capcom about Viewtiful Joe 3, and have a similar deal that dictated what's going on with Bayo2, for that matter?

Kamiya won't work on another Viewtiful Joe, sadly. Once a series has a sequel without him, he doesn't feel it's his anymore.

Also, you can bet Nintendo will keep hiring Platinum if W101 and Bayo2 do well. So everyone better buy those two games!

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.

Sorry all who replied, I'm 100% convinced now about this, a bit sad but so be it. I'll be playing on Wii U and won't ask again. Such is life!

Actually, the Viewtiful Joe case is different from the Okami and Devil May Cry cases; Kamiya still worked on the other Viewtiful Joe games, even if he wasn't director (he did only the story for the other games since he was too busy working on Okami at the time).

He still has interest in making a VJ3:

The title of the article is pretty ironic though. lol

So who actually owns the rights to the Bayonetta IP? Did Platinum always owned it all along and are just switching publishing+financing arrangements, or was it actually owned by Sega that then sold to Nintendo?

In an industry that Ninja theory and spark unlimited can continuously get work, an independant platinum will be just fine.

Hey don't forget Double Helix.

I'm beautiful, you're just a hater :rollseyes:

No, you really just have a face only a mother can love.

I believe it's Sega. Not sure of the details when it comes to the deal with Nintendo, but I think they are just letting them "borrow" it.

And this is why I like Nintendo games....mostly

Let's get a Wonderful 101 demo first.

Will probably drop after release, if we get one. That nintendo publishing tells me we likely won't though.
