Nintendo wouldn't have moneyhatted the whole project if they hadn't secured full exclusivity on Bayonetta 2.

Why didn't they do that for Ninja Gaiden Razor Edge or Rayman Legends then?

Nintendo didn't pay for development of either of those games. 

Did you ever see Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on the PS2 or XBox? Nope, because Nintendo financed the development of that game (as a project for Silicon Knights).
