Are you a Bayonetta fan, and will you be buying WiiU to play the sequel?

dood, the sequel was canceled until Nintendo stepped in and funded it, if it was successful, it'd be multi platform to start with. ^^; Also remember that Japan is starting to do the cross over thing more and more whereas western publishers are all trying to middle finger each other, I think we'll start to see really really good JP games again in the 8th gen where the good devs from the old days will come out with awesome stuff on all platforms, I'm hoping anyways.

We don't know that. Another publisher like Square Enix or Namco Bandai could've picked up the game for multiplatform development.

Nintendo obviously made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Which is fair enough.

Well I'm sure the Japanese developers will make some great games for the next gen, From Software is going to be doing something special from what I can see.

Like i said to pokoko, from what i can tell, it didn't seem like Sega was trying to sell it. Sega just sort of killed it, then Nintendo made the effort to pick it up. It is possible another publisher would have picked it up if Sega had been actively trying to sell the IP.

Although like pokoko indicated, the role Sega still holds with the franchise and IP is now unclear.
