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.

Platinums bread and butter are hack n slash games, but they dont have to make sense to be enjoyable. The DMC reboot had a story that made sense but the gameplay wasnt as high impact and controllable as the Japanese versions by Kamiya.
