I agree with this. It seems like we have a lot of suppose nintendo employees posting in this thread :P
There's no telling whats in the contact between SEGA and Nintendo - for all we know, SEGA allowed Nintendo to fund the game and release it exclusively on their platform only for a limited amount of time before SEGA can release it on other platforms.
A developer such as Kamiya wouldnt have access to that information since he doesnt work for Nintendo, doesnt work for SEGA nor does he own the Bayonetta IP.
Again, only time will tell. I personally believe this is gonna be a similar situation to what happened with Mass Effect where Microsoft had rights to the game but the IP owner bioware who was later purchased by EA was able to release the game on other platforms (namely the PS3) after a timed contract. |
its NINTENDO. I don't think there is an example in the history of Nintendo where they SOLEY funded a game by a third party and didn't retain control over the title. The Bayonetta 2 scenario is not a regular move by Nintendo and there has been zero discussion from Sega/Platinum about it going ANYWHERE else. Its fairly safe to say Nintendo wouldn't just fund a risky game without contractually guranteeing themselves some reward from it.
if they didn't have a contract to control that particular title then it would mean they pay for the creating of it and then, what, it only temporarily is exclusive? that makes zero sense, particularly from a conservative ass company like Nintendo
