Forums - Nintendo - Bayonetta 2 Reportedly Runs in 1080p 60fps

What I like most about nintendo is that, they dont compromise gameplay experience. Most of their games run smoothly. I remember super mario galaxy was gorgeous and also very smooth. Good move by nintendo. Why sacrifice performance for the sake of a little graphical boost?

Why is it that surprising. It ran at 60fps 720 on 360. Graphically it doesn't look much different from the first so I could definitely see it being 1080p 60fps on the Wii U.

It looks considerably better. The lighting, visual effects, and environmental scale and detail are all noticeably upgraded over the first game.


I have never played the game, but I seen the Bayonetta PS3 trailer.  Bayonetta 2 Wii U trailer definitely looks better then the Bayonetta PS3.  I agree with you.

Yet we also thought the same thing about the Mass Effect series never leaving Microsoft.

Mass Effect is different set of circumstances.  BioWare developed the game which MS published but MS didn't pay for full development....only marketing, distribution and a waived licensing fee for BioWare (standard for exclusive games).  The game was released in November of 2007.   However, in October of 2007, just a month before the game launched, EA purchased BioWare and it's IPs.   Because MS didn't retain any rights to the ME franchise, EA obtained them from BioWare which allowed the original ME to eventually be ported to the PS3.

Bayonetta 2 is being wholly funded by Nintendo, not just pbulsihed by.  When you pay the funding for something, you retain the rights to it.   This applies to just about all entertainment media.  When a book publisher pays an advance to an author for a book, the publisher flat out owns the book rights.   When a movie company greenlights a film (pays for production), they own that film even if a different studio actually did the production.

There is not a single instance in the history of video whereby a publisher pays for development but did not retain rights for development unless they eventually sold those rights.  Sony is a common subject for the latter in that case.   Spyro and Crash were properties they originally funded by sold their rights back to the developers.   Nintendo sold back the rights to Rare for several of the titles they funded as well.

In other words, for Bayonetta 2 to appear on a console beyond Nintendo's sphere of influence will require circumstances beyond what we see today (Nintendo sells the rights, Nintendo itself is sold, etc...).



The rEVOLution is not being televised

I think all second-gen Wii U 1st party games are targeting 1080p, 10fps. It would be a feat for this game, with all the crazy going on.

I thought it was 720p60fps. Anyway, good to know.
So, for now this is how it rols:

WWHD - 1080p30fps
SM3DWorld - 720p60fps (?)
DKCR TF - 720p60fps (?)
Bayonetta 2 - 1080p60fps
Mario Kart 8 - 720p60fps
SSB - 1080p60fps

If I should guess, Zelda U will be 720p30fps or at best 1080p30fps

WW HD is 60 fps.....

No. All 3D Zeldas are locked at 30fps, and WWHD has been reported too.

ALBW is the one that runs at 60fps.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

No, Ocarina of Time had like 24 fps.....Majoras Mask too I think. WW HD also runs at 60 fps...omg. Why do you think it's so hard to achieve for a GC port...

It looks like you are right. WWHD runs at 60fps. My apologize.

Good for all 20k people that wll buy it.


It's to bad you can't be one of them. Oh well, you can always watch the trailers.


I dislike Bayonetta, feel free to look up my opinion on it on this site somewhere.

Then why are you posting in this thread at all?



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Nothing wrong with it, either. He is free to do that.

Someone needs to do the same bad boring joke in every thread.
