That's some heavy wishfull thinking right there...

Nintendo is almost certainly the one providing the funding for this game.

Sega is broke and can only finance Sonic games and little else.

Platinum is a small indie studio that needs a "sugar daddy" to pay their dev bills.

It's Nintendo guys. Get over it. The moment Nintendo spends even $1 in development on this game (let alone probably the entire budget) is the moment it's over. It's never going to be on a non-Nintendo platform.

Nintendo should just buy out Sega's IP period. Probably can be had for cheap at this point, Sammy would probably be happy to wash their hands of it.

Will probably never happen, publishers HATE selling their franchises, they usualy hold them till they die. Hw many ppl are wishig Nintendo would buy Megaman, Conker or Banjo? But Microsoft or Rare will never sell Banjo's IP despite the fact that we all know tey will probably never do anything with it. Theiris also alot other example outthere.

Sega probably had no interest in making the sequel, so Nintendo funded the project. As a result, it became a WiiU exclusive.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Using made up numbers ...

Nintendo is paying Sega $40 Million to develop a game that is costing them $20 Million to create, plus an additional $2.50 for every copy of the game sold to license the IP, and as a result the content of this game will be published and owned by Nintendo. While Sega could possibly develop new Bayonetta games in the future for other platforms it is unlikely that any of the content from this game could be used without compensating Nintendo for it.

the meltdown is glorious


It is isn't it...I'm so happy I could hardly contain the smile I have at the moment.  It's actually sadder than those who are defending the Vita's pathetic 2mil numbers sold after 8 months of release.

Dumb argument is dumb.

When a company is publishing the game, they have A LOT of control over it and I'm sure there is stuff that says it or a variation it cannot be placed on any other console.

It is and will remain exclusive to Wii U. Just be happy Nintendo decided to bail it out otherwise it wouldn't even be here.

Let's just be happy it's coming out. It was canceled not long ago. We should be happy Nintendo resurrected it from the dead.

Bayonetta was actually pretty damn fun, I'm excited to rent 2 in the far future.
