How important is Bayonetta 2 for WiiU's potential for future 3rd party game development?

That being said I don't plan on getting the PS3 version of Bayonetta 1 either because of the apparent issues with the port.

May I remind that Sony sent ninjas over Platinum offices to resolve the issue with the unexpected solution of... a simple HD install. I platinumed the game and never had a single issue with it. If this is what is really keeping you from getting for the PS3, I say there is no issue and go ahead without any worry. The game is one of the best hack n' slashes around and I plan to play B2 some way or another, legally or illegally.

Great to know! I haven't played it cause I'd rather play it on X360 (which I haven't got yet), but if it's ok, than I'll get it for my PS3. So what exactly do I have to do to play it ok? Buy on PSN or buy regular retail game and install? Is it a voluntary or mandatory install? How does it work?

 

I think that there is a chance for Wii U to get 3rd party support, just not from the biggest companies. The dev costs for PS4/X720 will grow once again and many developers won't be able to afford making games on these platforms. Still,they could afford making games for Wii U on the good old Unreal Engine 3 for example. Well, for Wii U/PS3/X360 to be exact, but the role of PS360 will dimish when PS4/X720 take over, hence Wii U could have a chance to be the dominant platform for such games. I think it would be cool. Wii got a few good games this way (Cursed Mountain devs for example said that low dev costs for the Wii were the reason they made the game exclusive for Wii).

The thing is... you know... you guys have got to start buying those bloody games!! If the only games that sell on Wii U are ones with Mario or Miis on the cover, there is no hope. Bayo 2 has to sell big time, as is W101 and pretty much every single other big exclusive 3rd party game. Let's hope ZombiU has legs, cause the way it's been selling so far isn't excouraging...
