Wonderful 101 would either be Nintendo or Platinum themselves, and if it was just Platinum alone, they'd have to find a publisher willing to port a Wii U original (likely a tricky prospect, given that it would be a down-port and a game optimized for Wii U is going to be a delight to decompile for the other guys' GPUs).
Bayonetta, of course, has Sega waiting in the wings, but i don't think that Sega would want to weasel it off of Nintendo due to the lucrative relationship they have with Nintendo otherwise (unless Bayonetta 2 does truly horrifically and Sega agrees to cover Nintendo's loss in exchange for port rights), and i really don't think Sega has it in them to bother porting it to PS3/360, when they were the guys who originally thought it wasn't worth making a second Bayonetta for those two platforms, and we would run into the same problem of down-porting an optimized-for-Wii-U game, something that only Ubisoft has done so far (and Rayman wasn't really optimized, in terms of complicated GPU stuffs), and Sega had a hell of a time just porting Bayonetta to PS3 as it was.
Even if the outright ownership of Bayonetta 2 publishing rights were more ambiguous, i don't think the game would be going anywhere else.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
