. It's just a God of War / Devil May Cry clone guys, move on.

Except that it's better than either of those.

The thing is the Wii U doesn't have anything else like Bayonetta to build an audience for such a game. The PS3/360 have similar types of games, Bayonetta on the Wii U is basically just stuck on an island by itself.

On the flipside, that also means no competition from other big games in the genre.

I don't view that as much of a positive if there's no audience for that style of game to begin with there.

Similar types of games tend to help other types of games IMO, Saints Row is helped by GTA, Destiny will be helped by the other FPS games, Wii Sports/Party helped other party games on Wii, etc. etc. etc.

As long as you don't release the games too close to each other it's generally not a problem.

Everything has to start somewhere, how did GTA style games and FPS become popular in the beginning?
