Isn't Nintendo publishing Bayonettta 2?


Yes, but that doesn't guarantee in the game staying exclusive. Look at ME1 and NG3RE. I reckon Bayonetta 2 has a multi year exclusivity on WiiU but will eventually release on other systems.

Not saying that Bayonetta 2 going to other systems is completely impossible but the situation is different. Nintendo seems to not only be funding the game but also publishing the game in all regions. Platinum also said without Nintendo, Bayonetta 2 would never happen. They have a good relationship right now and I doubt Platinum would want to ruin that. Sega could possibly try to get the game on other systems though and are over-seeing development but I still don't think its possible.

TW101 is apparently a Nintendo franchise so...not going outside of Wii U. (or 3DS) 

NG3RE is different because Tecmo published it in Japan, Nintendo probably chose to publish it in Europe and U.S to make them look more "core" and try to get sales for the game up. It was likely always ment to be a timed-exclusive. Rayman Legends was also likely always planned to go multi-platform. 

Mass Effect is also a bit different because Microsoft only published the 360 version. EA published the Windows version so it isn't like Microsoft had exclusive publisher rights.
