It's not uncommon for first parties to publish games in certain markets. Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony have all done this. It's not the same thing as having a project effectively resurrected and funded by one of those first parties.
One need only look at another title Nintendo funded and published, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes. It remains the only Metal Gear game of the fifth generation to not be ported. One would think that if Konami could, it would gladly have included the Gamecube game in the Metal Gear Solid HD collection alongside the PS2 games.
Another great example is Mass Effect. Funded and published by Microsoft, owned by BioWare, it remains exclusive to 360 and PC. Microsoft, again, funded this project and published it in full. For all intents and purposes it is never going anywhere.
Neither will Bayonetta 2.
