So, watching the E3 footage last week made me even more depressed that the greatest action game of the current generation was a Wii U exclusive. I want to like the Wii U, but the games. . . Rather than go out and buy a system for one game, how likely is it that we would see this masterpiece go multiplat?

Scenario 1: Nintendo has time limited rights to the intellectual property, afterwhich, platinum would be allowed to seek another publisher. I believed PS4 allows for self publishing, according to the Sony press conference at E3. Would this be an avenue available to platinum?

Scenario 2: Release a repacked product. ala Ultimate Climax edition, which could fall outside any current publishing agreement. Reminds me of how games like Ninja Gaiden went mutliplatform. This is probably or best hope.

Scenario 3: Nintendo has a binding agreement for a console exclusive (perhaps), in which case, a PC version can be ported.

Scenario 4: We harrass the heck out of PG/convice them that a mutliplatform option is too profitable to pass up. Also, damn good lawyers would need to be involved on their behalf.

Scenario 5: Nintendo's publishing rights only extend to a specfic region (NA, europe or JP), theorectically allowing platinium to publish the game in certain markets. The game could then be obtained via import.

Scenario 6: Wait for Bayo 3, and hope that Nintendo does not own the rights for sequels. This would be a disaster scenario.

 

[Meelow]

No, Nintendo is funding and publishing this.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

No scenario.

 

[Refyref]

None, the game is a Nintendo funded and published game.

 

[joedick]

give it up

 

[InsaneZero]

Scenario "just buy the damn game"

 

[JazzmanZ]

enjoy not playing bayo 2 I guess!

 

[Rich!]

Never. Get over it.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Fucking really?

 

[Sendou]

There's only one scenario really.

Nintendo goes 3rd party in future and releases their past lineup in some fashion to future platforms.

 

[-MB-]

In your dreams.

 

[Seik]

Haha, after so much time I didn't think a thread about this would be possible.

Nintendo paid for it, it won't go anywhere else. Unless Nintendo crashes and burn and go third party, in that case maybe they'd let it go multiplat.

 

[shinobi602]

Not a chance.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Sony Ninjas kill Nintendo Ninjas.
Then.

 

[Spongebob]

None, lol.

 

[Bronetta]

Ask your mother.

 

[D-e-f-]

Alternate reality.

Let it go.

Just, let it go.

 

[FlyFaster]

Isn't this entire thread one big PORT BEGGING question?

hmmmm

 

[SmokeMaxX]

Well, I take it back. Bayo2 could go multiplatform. It should be playable on the successor to the WiiU since Nintendo respects backwards compatibility

 

[Hellraider]

The real question is where the hell is Bayo Climax!

 

[SolidSnakex]

This is really one of those third party games where if you want it then you better buy the Wii U because it's never going to be released on anything other than it or other Nintendo platforms.

 

[dallow_bg]

That begging.

 

[Gartooth]

Enough with the port begging, it's not happening given the circumstances of the deal between Nintendo and Platinum.

 

[Data West]

I don't even own a Wii U and am telling you to deal w it

That begging.

Eh every other Platinum thread gets filled with PC port begging.

 

[Lime]

Emulation on PC is your only hope

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Isn't this entire thread one big PORT BEGGING question?

It's pretty well disguised under the unlikely situations, but yeah pretty much.

 

[Frumix]

It's not even that good.

 

[JWong]

There has been cases where a game franchise moves from one publisher to another.

Since we don't know the details of the contract, there could be a chance that someone else picks it up for other platforms. Mass Effect moved from Microsoft to multiplatform through EA.

 

[metalslimer]

Not that I think bayonetta 2 will go multiplatform but can someone explain what happened with Mass Effect 1 or Ninja Gaiden 2? I would think Nintendo would never let Bayonetta 2 go multiplat though.

[Blood Diamonds]

lmao the last scenario is fucking awesome

 

[SmokeMaxX]

Ask your mother.

It'll be available...
next week, in gaming magazines.

 

[Slamtastic]

Nintendo going third party
Emulation

 

[entremet]

No scenario.

The end.

 

[AGoodODST]

It will never be multi-plat. It's funded and published by Nintendo.

I imagine Iwata will down in the credits as Excutive Producer or whatever as seen in Lego City.

 

[PaulExcellent]

So under which scenarios can we see Killzone/Jak and Daxter/Halo 5/Killer Instinct go multiplatform?

Get out.

 

[Totobeni]

Enough with the port begging, it's not happening given the circumstances of the deal between Nintendo and Platinum.

Nintendo and SEGA.

PG is just the developers.

So under which scenarios can we see Killzone/Jak and Daxter/Halo 5/Killer Instinct go multiplatform?

Get out.

well just to be fair, unlike the titles you posted, Bayo is not Nintendo IP but since Nintendo is completely funding and publishing Bayo 2 it will not go to other systems, but yeah not the same situation.

 

[gogogow]

People STILL don't know the game is funded and published by Nintendo?

It will go multiplatform once Nintendo decides to release it on other consoles. Otherwise, no, it will never ever happen.

Nintendo and SEGA.

PG is just the developers.

Just Nintendo, not Sega, Kamiya's message was very clear. Sega can decide to make Bayonetta 3 for PS4/Xbone though.

 

[J@hranimo]

give it up

Seriously.

 

[flatearthpandas]

I don't want to buy a Wii U because it has no games. I'm upset that I can't play some games because they're Wii U exclusive.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

LOL

 

[gngf123]

Just wait until next week in game magazines.

Spoiler

Never, if you want the game you buy a WiiU

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

"I don't want the Wii U because it has no games I want"

"I want this game that is on the Wii U"

Time to add another to the wall of shame

 

[PaulExcellent]

It's not even that good.

Woah, you played it already? That's rad.

lmao the last scenario is fucking awesome

It would be pretty damn interesting, that's for sure. lol

 

[Chindogg]

/thread

 

[Gartooth]

Nintendo and SEGA.

PG is just the developers.

Right right, forgot about Sega due to how little they have involved with the game aside from handing publishing control to Nintendo.

 

[Mistouze]

Oh jeez just get some haemoroids cream for your case of butthurt.

 

[thatsafakewebsitebro]

The one scenario = Platinum makes Bayonetta 2: Climax Edition and releases it on other consoles.

 

[chertipros]

Going by what I read in another thread, In one of the bayonetta gameplay videos it says "©2013 Nintendo ©SEGA" meaning that Nintendo has copyrights to this entry in the franchise while SEGA still owns the IP. Other platforms may get another bayonetta game, but definitely not this one
