If anyone was going to buy Sega it would be Microsoft. They have worked very closely together on several occasians and it would give MS a much needed local identity to Japanese gamers.

Nintendo has no need for Sega's back cataloge of franchises.

Double dragon and make it in GTA style

edit: or a ghost and goblins and make a new 2d one

I know you're a Sony fan, and I don't want you to get a WiiU.

The only reason Nintendo have Bayonetta 2 exclusively is because Sega couldn't provide the funds to complete the game. Nintendo offered the developers Platinum Games the funds to complete the project on the condition they would publish Bayonetta 2 exclusively. The problem is Bayonetta sold what 1.5- 1.8 mil copies. I'm not sure Bayonetta 2 is a system seller based on those numbers alone, not taking into context the style of the game.

Something like Sleeping Dogs is owned by Sqaure Enix, they won't allow Nintendo to publish their IP exclusively.

I think Nintendo will get all the good games anyway. They will get multiplatform releases of Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and the sports games (Fifa). Well I think they will.

The question is whether these games will encourage gamers to buy a Nintendo console over a Sony or Microsoft console. I think thats partly to do with marketing. Nintendo are experts are marketing their games, I have no doubt they will do the same here.

Whether Bayonetta 2 sells well or not, its got a lot of people talking about WiiU, not just in Nintendo circles, but Microsoft and Sony too (even if people were pissed about it, they were still talking) and it got quite a bit of coverage from the gaming media, so its kinda marketing gold :)

I would like Nintendo to team up with a talented western dev to produce a high quality FPS, something that would interest PS3/360 crowd. Nintendo now has the capable hardware, its now about getting the so called "core gamers" interested.

yes, i'm a sony fan, PC, and a ninty fan, and you know you want me to get a WiiU. So stop lieing.

Ok, I'll stop lieing.

I like how Nintendo fans argue how this is such a huge victory or something. But Bayonetta didn't even sell that much on PS3/360. What makes you think it will be more successful on a Nintendo console? Sure Nintendo is publishing it so that could give it more recognition, but this is a sequel to a game most Wii U owners have never played.

This is probably a game that can bring over some PS3/360 owners, but not by itself. If Nintendo wants to get the "core" gamer then they need to more stuff like this. Bayonetta 2 isn't enough.

In reply to the OP:
Sleeping Dogs was moderately successful on PS3/360. I don't think Square Enix would need help publishing the game, and they wouldn't abandon the audience which made it successful in the first place. So Sleeping Dogs 2 exclusive to Wii U is out of the question.

Anything Sega related? What successful IP has Sega had this generation? Bayonetta has a lot of potential, but this leads back to what I wrote above. Sonic isn't what it used to be, and an making it exclusive would essentially be competing with Mario,which Nintendo would be stupid to do.
