Nintendo needs to build on Bayonetta 2.

They should pick up Devil's Third (Itagaki's game) as well and lock up Ninja Gaiden 4 (make sure its good this time) while they're at it.

You seem to misunderstand what Nintendo did with Bayonetta. They are publishing the game(helping fund the production and release). They are not buying exslusives.

Bayonetta 2 is exslusive because it is being developed with their money and is thus, partially theirs.

Devil's Third is in the same predicament as Bayonetta 2 -- it has no publisher. It's probably even cheaper for Nintendo to finance because it's a lot further along in development already.

Why not? You cannot gain credibility with hardcore players just by trotting out 1 game.

Bayonetta 2 is a good step for Nintendo. Now they need 4 or 5 more of those at least if they want to be taken remotely seriously by the group of core players who don't care about Mario/Zelda enough to buy a console.

Nintendo has stated they do not buy exslusives, but if a dev approached them then they can work something out. If Itagaki brings it to them, then they would consider it but as it stands, it has only been in developement for the PS3 and 360.

The big problem with Devil's Thirds that the engine they were originally using came from a company that went bankrupt, so they had to start pretty much from scratch with a new engine after 2 years of work. I have no idea what they intend to do with the market on the PS3 and 360 looking like it does now. It probably would be best for them to bring an offer to Nintendo.
