I think the obvious answer is staring us in the face. They dont want this to be constrained by the PS3 and Xbox systems, so its a Wii U exclusive... for now.

When the PS4 and the next Xbox come out I have know doubt they will port the game to those platforms. Maybe they even have the development kits for those platforms.

But they can't say anything about their plans for Bayonetta on consoles that havent been announced yet. I think the game will come out for the PS4, Xbox and the Wii U when its time to announce those platforms.

not mad at all, but your responses tell me that you have nothing to back up your claims, so thats all i need. good day

Ninja Gaiden 2 was published by Microsoft. Then later came Sigma 2 on PS3. It depends what is agreed by Sega and Ninty.

I was right about the Murmasa, Arc Rise, Rune Factory etc port rumor but whatever I'm moving on.  You could say you won this debate since I don't want to waste my time searching my debate about this with pugsly or you(maybe not u if you have a Wii could be someone but thought it was u).   Going back to the original topic, this will never see the light of day on last generation HD systems or their successor.  Mass Effect 1 would have a better chance of going to Nintendo than Bayonetta 2 will.  Samurai Warriors 3, DQ X, and MH:Tri shows how typical partnership games with Nintendo work.  My 2 cents.  Now going back on my original thread (what next last generation games do ppl want to see as a Wii U exclusive). 

is this seriously going on? are fanboys really this desperate... Just Get over it The Game is Nintendo Exclusive

No to what you say... here is why

Nintendo published Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil Zero on Gamecube. The Resident Evil license clearly belongs to Capcom, but none of the Resident Evil HD remakes which went to either PS3 or X360 include these or anything remotely close to these.

Nintendo published Metal Gear Solid - Twin Snakes on Gamecube. The Metal Gear license clearly belongs to Konami, but none of the Metal Gear Solid HD remakes which went to PS-Vita, PS3, or X360 include that.

Now... to bring to some kind of sensible state - I am a gamer and care about games, not platforms

The original Metal Gear game was first released on the NES. Konami migrated the series to the PSOne because the new their vision of the game worked better on the new console which was using optical media instead of cartridges which would have been expensive for so much dialog/cutscenes.

Platinum Games is migrating their game to Nintendo platform simply because they wanted to continue the series and Nintendo was the first that was willing to work with them as publisher to fund what they wanted to do. Was either Sony or Microsoft interested? Why Nintendo became the publisher and not someone else? There might be some interesting details there... but in the end, all that really matters is that the game will have a sequel.

Nintendo has taken the financial risk and if it works out, than Bayonetta might continue as a series. Otherwise it was done.

I looked it up and it is true. Yet, the PS3 still got Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma which additional stuff added, and dismemberment removed.

Very odd... that it still made it to PS3, even with revised title and some other relatively minor differences.

I mean Mass Effect has not gone to any of the others even if it's sequels became multi-platforms.

There's no future for Platinum on PS4/720 anyway.

They're not a big studio and no one's going to finance a huge budget project from them. Vanquish bombed and Bayonetta did OK, but not enough for any of the big Western publishers to pick them up.

Platinum was lucky to find a big sugar daddy like Nintendo (lol) to help them out.

On Nintendo platforms their games will get a lot of attention too. Bayonetta probably got more attention because of the Nintendo press event than its ever had (became a global trending topic on Twitter, has had articles written about it on Forbes.com, etc. etc.).

On the PS3/360, things like Vanquish just get lost in the mix, there's so much core gamer oriented fare there that people really only pay attention to the Assassins Creeds, Call of Dutys, Skyrims, etc.

AHAH! First crack in the so-called exclusivity. I'm going to love the day they annouce it for the other platforms!
