Ok so Bayo 2 on the horizon, and I've been hearing people wanting a port of Bayo 1 on the WiiU.

WiiU ports of previous 360/PS3 games did terribly, and you don't really see people buying the original game when the sequel is on the horizon. It's like saying that the annoucement of a new upcoming COD will get people to buy previous entries. No, if people are looking to get into the series, they will start with the upcoming one, because people assume that "newer is better". 

Really, the audience for this kind of port is small we are looking for people that

-Have not played the 1st one and have a WiiU and can't get into a game without playing the previous entries and has not played in on 360/PS3

Or

-People that have already played Bayonetta on their 360/PS3 and would buy an enhanced version, will and have already purchased a WiiU for Bayo 2

Or

-People that would've gotten Bayo 2 anyways and have no problem not playing the previous entry but still interested in it and may buy it before Bayo 2 to get caught up or after they really liked Bayo 2 and wanted to buy the previous entry.

How many people really fall into these categories? Besides, if released to close to each other, they might cannabalize each other's sales. Just thinking that rather than spending $$ on a port like this, Nintendo is better off putting that $$ towards marketing Bayo 2

Maybe somewhere down the line, a Bayonetta collection for WiiU?

I would buy it on Wii U since the port to Ps3 was not very good. I don't know what category i fall into.

I guess if you already got or are getting a WiiU for Bayo 2, you would fall into category 2

Meh ... I'm good with it on PS3. If there's a disc version of the first game on Wii U with enhancements then I'll buy, but barring that I won't bother with it.

well the ps3 version is PATHETIC.. and japanese gamers dont own a xbox.. so japanese gamers would buy it

Two options:

1) Do an enhanced port, like the Ninja Gaiden 3 route by adding playable characters and tweaking parts of the original that Platinum could agree in hindsight could have been tweaked

2) No enhancements, run it as an eShop bargain game. Quick/dirty port of the 360 version, which should at least be more stable than the PS3 version due to Wii U's architectural similarities.

The former could further entice Bayo fans to buy a Wii U, and just present a good value proposition to gamers. The latter would be cheap to distribute, and an easy source of profit.

just port it to the Wii U eshop, with no enhancements. as long as it works well, with a steady framerate, were golden..

maybe not a steady framerate, but the visuals were still on par for the ps3 version. Still had an enjoyable experience with it. Not sure what the Japanese thought of it.

Did you experience issues post patch?
