I don't recall PS3 fans being told by BioWare that if they want ME on PS3 to ask MS for it...and to ask for Halo while they are at it.

No this is exactly what Microsoft said about Mass Effect the first: “The original Mass Effect is absolutely an Xbox 360 exclusive, making Xbox 360 the only place to get the full Mass Effect experience.”

We all know how that turned out.  Though I do agree it's not leaving the Wii U.  But not because Nintendo says so.

You do know that comment came AFTER ME2 was announced for PS3?   And that it came from the games original publisher, not the developer?

BioWare never stated ME was MS only.  MS did.  And it became largely irrelevant when EA bought BioWare and their IP rights.  MS lost their right to ME once EA bought the IP. 

All this Nintendo exclusivity info is coming from the developer themselves.

Except who do you think funded the original Mass Effect? Microsoft.  It's the reason why Mass Effect 1 took so long to get ported to PS3; EA had to buy out the contract... or something.  Same with Bayonetta, Sega could buy out their contract if they needed too, or could have a way out of their contract.  Only people who knows what's in that contract are Sega execs and Nintendo execs.  To say Bayonetta 2 isn't coming out to the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, etc, because Nintendo says so isn't exactly any indicator of anything because Microsoft, the funder of Mass Effect said the same thing.  Though, to re-iterate, I don't personally think Bayonetta 2 is leaving the Wii U.  I'm just saying the reasoning isn't because Nintendo says so.
