bolded: it doesn't get more professional than making the game for the one who pays.

Not exactly. They cant use any of the assets including code used by Platinum. They would have to completely remake the game under a new developer from the ground up (what you are sugesting is a port, wich they cant do cause they dont own the code). Since SEGA refused to do that in the first place with platinum, its unlikely they would finance a different developer to do it now.

But "Bayonetta 2", in some way, would end up on consoles that aren't from Nintendo. But please remember, my point was never that it would happen, or that it even should happen because it "makes sense" or whatever other nonsense. All I ever said was that it could happen since Sega owns the Bayonetta IP.

And to answer the post above this, no I don't believe it will be such a classic that it will be remade 13 years later. However, the Goldeneye example was strictly to answer the question "when has Nintendo ever given up the publishing rights to a game". They did it with Goldeneye, albeit a remake. But "Goldeneye 007" did end up on non Nintendo consoles, whether you like it or not. Anyway, and I repeat myself, I'm not saying B2 is gonna end up on other consoles. All I'm saying it that it can end up on other consoles. Look at all my posts in this thread. This is all I said. When I brought up Ninja Gaiden, because it was published by MS, it still ended up on other consoles. Goldeneye ended up on other consoles even though it was originally published by Nintendo. It is not written in stone "Bayonetta 2 can't ever ever ever in any way shape or form be played on a non Nintendo console"

Ok, my mistake on suggesting a port, but a remake is possible. But not feasible. That's the gist of what I'm trying to say. That's all. If tomorrow Sega said "I want Bayonetta 2 on PS4 and XBone", it could be done, with no legal trouble over who owns what. The major point I was trying to drive home was that if Sega wanted to, they could make Bayonetta 2 on something not Nintendo. I don't care how improbable that will be. Don't care unlikely it will be. All I said was that the possibility is out there.

Lets remember that the thread topic is Kamiya bitching about people port begging like little children, not whether or not it is realistic to expect any kind of Bayo 2 on other platforms when the decision is based on whether or not Nintendo allows it. With RE4, I expected it to not stay with NGC, because Mikami had no control over the actual process but Capcom did, in this case, it is clearly stated multiple times that it's up to Nintendo which means it's quiet assuring that you will not see Bayonetta 2 on the PS3, 360, Vita, X1, or the PS4 at this point in time especially if you count the fact that no other company was willing to fund the project other than Nintendo to start with. Again, let's be realistic, this will not be a classic like Golden Eye ever was, not even the owner of the IP, SEGA, had faith in it. So your expectations of it "can" end up elsewhere in another form is pure jibberish that has no coherence with the real world and is simply internet bantering.

I'm just not sure if they can actually use the Bayonetta 2 name, but yes that is the case. Though it would be completely hipocrit  of SEGA to do so, and the quality levels would be questionable cause Platinum is the best there is at making action games afterall. Maybe they could get Ninja Theory to butcher it western style. :P

If they wanted the Sequel so badly they should've each bought a few hundred more copies of it.

stupid companies disrespect their consumers by not releasing games on nintendo platforms all the time. yet I never see sony/ms fans complaining about that.

The fans should be lucky they're even getting it.

and in nintendo's case, there is no reason for those third party games not to be on nintendo systems. they're mostly multiplats, after all.
