The problem is that Final Fantasy is a unique case of a famous NES/SNES-franchise switching sides and staying exclusive.

Goldeneye 64 (Goldeneye 007) was remade for the Wii and was published by Activision. They gave up the publishing rights to "Goldeneye 007". Then, that game was ported to PS3 and 360 and called Goldeneye 007: Reloaded. Do you think it's just that impossible for the same to happen with B2? That a remade Bayonetta 2: "Complete Edition" isn't possible?

And don't have me pegged for a "port begger". I don't expect this game to come to PS3/4 or X1/360. Like I said in my original post, it will take a bunch of jumping through hoops to get this game there (either by PG getting bought out or signing on with another publisher), but also, like I said in my original post, a port is possible.

Oh please. The majority of the people complaining didn't buy Bayonetta 1 and don't care about the game. They are just throwing a tantrum because Nintendo is getting Bayonetta 2. The game got cancelled for 360/PS3 because the people that are bitching now, didn't buy the original. In fact, the bulk of Bayonetta sales were of the dramatically inferior PS3 version. If Nintendo didn't pick it up off the scrap heap, it wouldn't be available. I always love when people talk about company's "turning their backs on fans". Despite Bayonetta not being a big enough financial success to warrant sequel, they managed to find a publisher to fund it's production. If these so called "fans" were actual fans they'd be thanking P* for getting the game funded.

....among others

The problem is that Bayonetta is a unique case of a famous PS360 franchise switching sides and staying exclusive. It's not that easy to accept since Rayman and Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor Edge were ported quickly.

Mainline?

Yea, owned by Tecmo, published by Microsoft. Just how Bayonetta 2 is owned by Sega, published by Nintendo. Hate to break it to you, but Nintendo doesn't own Bayonetta 2, they are just funding it at the moment. I guess that's the real point that you're missing.  Just like how Microsoft didn't own Ninja Gaiden 2, they just funded the development. The situation is EXACTLY the same. I don't know how you don't understand it. There are no "explicit details" needed. Only reason it's only on Nintendo is because Nintendo is publishing it. If Sega wanted to publish it, they could, and put it wherever they want. Nintendo can't tell Sega what to do with their game, if Sega, at some point, wants to get involved. To say that Sega owning Bayonetta has no impact is tantamount to me saying "you may own that shirt, but you can't wear it"

Does Microsoft own Mass Effect 1? BioWare owned the IP, but that had no impact, right? Doesn't matter if they sell the IP or whoever owns it (EA now). It will always belong to Microsoft and Microsoft alone, right? Microsoft didn't need to own the IP, just that one game, right?

If you can't see how that situation and the one with B2 aren't identical, then you are just blind. And it's derailing the thread too. All I said was that it's possible, through some changes behind the scenes, for this game to go multiplat, however, to do so requires a lot of work and going multi may not be justified. So get a WiiU if you want to play it.
