| Soundwave said: I hope they just buy the IP from Sega (since Sega likely doesn't give a crap), but I dunno. Nintendo is usually not that prone to making high budget sequels to games that don't sell all that great. It's kinda funny that they convinently left Peach off the Women's Power campaign ... guess sitting around and waiting to be rescued by a man didn't quite vibe with that campaign. |
I disagree, Bayonetta recieved almost 0 advertisement and still managed to sell pretty well among Nintendo fans, if Nintendo owned the IP they wouldn't have to pay rights to SEGA/whoever else but they could split the profit with Platinum Games while advertising it to make it a more profitable franchise, it could also be the right start to show that Nintendo doesn't do only childish games, if they start releasing periodically games such as Bayonetta, Fatal Frame, Metroid and so on ADVERTISING THEM people might start to realize that Nintendo consoles aren't meant only for kids. Also I think that now is the perfect time to buy the IP since it still hasn't sold really well so it isn't valutated a lot BUT the Developers demonstrated that they can make an extremely good game out of it, and who knows what they could do with a more powerful system! also the fact that the devs ENJOY making Bayonetta games and hve plenty of ideas means that they wouldn't mind making various sequels. It would be a strategic move too since the team working on Bayo at Platinum wouldn't be able to work on good games for other platforms...
