It's not money-hatting, Nintendo is paying for the development of these games. The same way they pay Next Level Games for development of Luigi's Mansion 2.
It's contract work.
If I pay you to come to my house and fix my deck, I'm not "money hatting" you, I'm paying you to do a job.
Also Bayonetta 2 does not exist without Nintendo's funding it. Platinum Games doesn't have the money to finance these games, they are not a publisher, they are a contract studio. Try to understand the difference.

Could have gone to Kickstarter to ask for the funds and cover the existing needs with a third party financer like Bloodstained is doing. The exclusivity deal was a kick in the nuts for fans who don't want or care for the Wii U.

Kickstarter works for games that are visually poor (anotherwords, old school) like Bloodstained or for games like Yooka Laylie (or however it is spelled) because they have (probably) way less hectic battle sequences in the games, therefore not driving the cost way up. Most games on kickstarters are using ancient looking game engines and are a LOT cheaper to make. Bayo 1 and 2 look absolutely fantastic even by today's standards. There is no way, me thinks, they could have been funded by kickstarter because that would have cost a lot more than your typical $250 thousand-4 million.
