It will eventually happen, but no way in hell they will announce it BEFORE the WiiU release.

Except it's being almost completly funded by Nintendo....

Yeah just like Mass Effect 1 and Ninja Gaiden 2 and what happened in the end?   As long as the platform holder is not the IP owner anything can happen with the game.

MS didn't directly fund development.  Only marketing and having paid for timed exclusivity.   With Bayonetta 2, the actual development itself is being paid for by Nintendo.  Do you really think Nintendo would fork out ~$20 million in cash to a developer without locking into exclusive rights to the game?  

As for Mass Effect specifically, that IP was bought by EA a few months after the game was relased.

Which is as valid as to say that SEGA owns the IP.
