It's more of a first-party than a money-hat. Nintendo didn't pay for this game not releasing on other platforms, it was already cancelled.

I think this chance was gone with Sega cancelling the game. It will come to PS3/PS4 if Sega is willing to pay funding of the game back to Nintendo.

Are MS-fans that are happy about Titanfall rubbing it in everyones face, that this is XBOX-exclusive? Are Sony-fans rubbing Killzone in everyones face, if they talk about how amazing it looks? But if a Nintendo-fan starts a thread about how he thinks how amazing Bayonetta 2 looks, then it is naturally a complott of evil Nintendo-fans to get everyone else upset. LOL.

And you assuming Nintendo-fans haven't played the first one. Why not? You can own multiple consoles, you know. And Bayonetta wasn't such a big success on PS3 and X360 in the first place, so it's clear PS- and XBOX-fans didn't care about Bayonetta too. So, how mmuch of these Bayonetta-owners also owned a Wii and play Nintendo-franchises? Maybe more than you think.

Well gosh darnit, I guess that would have to go for an awful lot of PS/Xbox games then too, eh?

Or do "morals" only come up when it's on a Nintendo system you don't want to be bothered buying?

Also, there's a world of difference between "moneyhatting" a game, implying that it could have been on other systems, but you are paying for it to exclusively be on YOUR system, and what is happening with Bayonetta 2, where it literally wouldn't even be happening if it weren't for Nintendo paying for it to be made. Bayonetta fans should be happy the sequel exists at all.

Bayonetta is brilliant. Id argue that its the best "Hack n Slash" of the previous generation... But its not a system seller at any rate.

Its more of a "Ill pick this up when the library is eventually good enough to warrant a purchase". The Wii U doesnt need one system selling title, the Wii U needs a worthwhile library of titles.

Gotta be honest, I really wasn't interested in the original Bayonetta for some pretty shallow reasons. I didn't like the aesthetics for Bayonetta's original character design that much, and among a much larger library of games, it wasn't even close to a priority for me.

That said, the situations been sort of reversed! I love how the game looks with a much more vibrant color palette, and Bayonetta's new design looks amazing! And since the Wii U isn't exactly being flooded with games, there's no excuse for me not to get it anymore! I hope the original gets a port. I really need to give it a try now.

As crazy as it sounds, the Wii U's admittedly sparse library has forced me to pick up games I would have normally dismissed because of a huge backlog, even games like SM3DW. It feels like when I was a kid, where getting a new game was a rarity and something to be excited for.

Honestly, seeing it as clear as this video is, it really doesn't look any better than the God of War games for PS3.

I'm fully aware of when the first game was made. My point was that there are several games so far for the Wii U that are beyond the capabilities of the PS3 and 360 hardware to produce - Need For Speed Most Wanted, Wind Waker HD, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, X and Bayonetta 2. All you need to do is look at some of the screenshots posted in the Gaf next gen screenshots thread to see that those games don't look too out of place sitting amongst screenshots of PS4 and One games.

Some of you people really need to get this idea that the hardware inside the Wii U is on par with the hardware in the PS3 and 360 out of your heads. We know for a fact that this isn't the case.

Seriously, take a look at the comparisons between Bayonetta 1 and 2 and if that isn't enough take a look at this thread on Gaf.

Aesthetically GoW does have a more colourful and rich look, and Santa Monica are better artists/technicians than Platinum, but still, I'd say Wii U could do the PS3 GoW games, but I don't think PS3 could do Bayo 2; some of the more extensive backdrops appear to make use of Wii U's much larger RAM.
