Was Bayonetta 2 Nintendo's answer to God Of War?

dmc (the recent ps360 incarnation) proves western developers can do great character action games, but platinum (and its previous incarnations) is where it's really at: devil may cry 1-3, viewtiful joe 1-2, metal gear rising, bayonetta 1-2, the wonderful 101...

i don't know of another developer that so totally owns a whole (nowadays less mainstream) genre.

Yeah, it's a bit weird but also pretty great. They have a real knack for this kinda stuff. I wish more developers would take to the genre because it really is loads of fun and it needs more representation in the industry. Right now, we really only have God of War, Bayonetta and Devil May Cry as major players.
