Forums - Nintendo - We may see a Bayonetta 3?

NoirSon on 17 July 2013

No duh, but I just hope Nintendo takes the time to promote this title like it deserves rather then bury it.

I know Bayonetta 2 is getting my support, I just hope other do the same.

Of course. They will need to make it for PS4/X1 in order to cover the loss from Bayonetta 2.

Nintendo is funding Bayonetta 2. Platinum gets the same money from B2 if it sells 0 or 20 million copies.

Is that 100% sure? No variable part of the revenue for PG in both projects?

Well, maybe Platinum will make more if the game does better? But i imagine there's a floor for compensation such that Platinum won't lose money, unless they end up doing something to go radically over budget or something.

As for your other reply, if Bayonetta 2 ends up making *Nintendo* money, they might commission a sequel. While their first eye is (as it should be) on moving hardware, there's nothing that says they don't want to make profitable games too. If Bayonetta 2 successfully creates a market for a third, Nintendo would be foolish to not go for it.

Depends on the success of the game.

I think the game will sell very well if its coming late 2014. By then the Wii U instalbase would be huge.

if bayonetta 2 doesn't succeed there wont be a bayonetta 3 for PS4/X1 lol, also if it succeeds then it'll be a WiiU exclusive again!

Absolutely not. Nintendo is funding Bayonetta 2 so that Bayonetta fans buys a WiiU. Once the targeted audience is equipped with a WiiU Nintendo has no more reason to fund a sequel. Bayonetta 3 would thus need to be published by a 3rd party which would make it multi-platform.

EDIT : beaten.

you Sony fanboys are still butthurt about B2 not coming to PS4? XD

I haven't played the first one yet, I hope that it will be a success though.

Huh? If the game succeeds Nintendo has every reason to fund Bayonetta 3 on WiiU.

Well I really don't see this happening. Bayonetta 2 is obviously going to be a flop on Wii U, as it barely passed 1 million units on PS3, and didn't even do that on 360 which had an even larger install base at the time.

and then we have the Wii U, a struggling console, and proportionaly to the PS3/360 install base it probably has an even smaller amount of core gamers, considering its a Nintendo console. I see Bayonetta 2 doing 500k but never reaching 1 million Lifetime sales :/

its sad really, its probably going to be an awesome game too.

Thats the thing though. How many copies does it need to sell to make the game successful or profitable?

I don't think it matters. If Bayonetta 2 isn't successful Nintendo might bankroll a sequel none the less.

I'm sad that Bayonetta isn't on the PS4, but I wish Platinum Games the best of luck with this game, the first one was a masterpiece.

I hope the Nintendo go mad with the marketing so it does sell 2 mil or however many copies means success these days, and hopefully even if we never see it, the Nintendo fans get a sequel. If anyone deserves it, its Platinum Games!

i would find if funny if nintendo funds bayonetta 3 even if bayonetta 2 sells like 700K
