| mushroomboy5 said: I've said this in another thread...I don't think nintendo scoring Bayonetta 2 as an exclusive is,in itself, that big a deal in the grand scheme of things...(although I'm a fan of the first game so I'm excited as i will definately buy a wii u...having said that, if it had come out on a rival console I would just as likely have bought it anyway) I do think nintendo picked Bayonetta 2 up as part of a larger plan ie to win the loyalty of platinum games in order to get them to develop more games for nintendo in the future and if these are exclusives then I do think it's a big deal. Platinum games have a lot of potential and are one of the best new(ish) game developers around,exactly the sort of company nintendo needs. If they can set up some sort of RETRO like or early RARE relationship with Platinum, it could amount to great things in the future. |
I hope this is true. The potential of a productive nintendo-platinum relationship is incredibly enticing. I also agree with an earlier comment which noted that 3rd party developers can do better when they are focused on one system. As good as it will be for Nintendo to finally get the same 3rd parties as everyone else (I am assuming this) .. the best games for Wii U will always be the ones that are Wii U specific.
