Without getting into some stuff that is both business and confidential, the simple question I’d like to ask you is, ‘Do you want to play Bayonetta 2?’ Bayonetta 2 would not exist without Nintendo white knighting that project. So while I totally understand that people want to play it on the platforms that they’ve played it on previously, we really wanted to make Bayonetta 2.

But if you were going to sell a game on a Nintendo platform, what publisher would you choose? Right, Nintendo. Right? So if you’re going to sell a game on a Nintendo platform, the publisher that you want to be with is Nintendo because they know how best to service their audience and they’re going to do the best job of explaining your game to that platform. You very rarely see huge, major third-party successes on Nintendo platforms because it’s really hard to fight against Mario, right? It’s why Universal isn’t as big as Disney. I mean, it’s really hard to fight somebody on that kind of turf, so…

We really wanted to make Bayonetta 2. And Bayonetta 2 is a project that we were passionate about. And when we couldn’t… when the business situation changed and we couldn’t make it the way that we were originally planning on making it, we definitely wanted to make sure that our project survived. I’ve seen Bayonetta 2 – I look at it every single day of my life when I’m in the office. It’s really cool and the world is going to be a better place because Bayonetta 2 is in it.

I spend a lot of time on Twitter seeing people get really angry, ‘Why is it not on PS3 and 360?’ Right? So kind of the way it went was, ‘Why do we have to buy a Wii U for one game? Why isn’t it on PS3 or 360?’ And now that the Xbox One and the PS4 are out, it’s ‘Why isn’t it on PS4 or Xbox One?’ So then it’s not about buying a piece of hardware, it’s just that you didn’t want it on the Wii U.

And that’s cool, I mean maybe that system’s not for you, or maybe that platform isn’t what you want to play games on, but we really want to make Bayonetta 2 and we think it’s going to be a fun game and the people who do play it are going to really enjoy it and I think that we made the right decision to make sure that game survived. I mean I’d rather be in a world with Bayonetta 2 than without.

lol'd at please understand :D

People are still asking!? Geezuz, why are people on the internet so retarded!?

from n4g comment section of the article:

"Such a dumb choice of Nintendo, what do they expect the X millions of fans to go pay £250 to play an 8-10 hours game? People don't want Wii U, consoles that are a quarter of a year old have outsold it's life time sales for god sake. IDIOTS PG and the big N are for thinking this is going to see consoles and software units, it won't."

Yep some people are still salty. 

Sadly, yes. People still believe they can persuade them into porting Bayonetta 2 for XB1/PS4.

My signature asks the same question.

The begging really needs to stop, Bayonettta fans have failed tremendously to support it on 360 and PS3 Nintendo gave the series a rejuvenating potion, so they are Entitled to Exclusivity cause money talks and Bayo fans will have to deal with it by purchasing The Nintendo WII U, if they are really as dedicated as they say they are and want the game, they should go out and buy Nintendo's console. Furthermore Nintendo"s Unprecedented Line Up for 2014 and 2015 its going to be crazy, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, X by Monolith Soft, Zelda Hyrule Warriors, Zelda WII U Next Gen sequel, Retro Unannounced game, and also maybe the opening of a new department of Nintendo EAD considering all the hiring going on over at Nintendo.

and it's interesting that if half the people complaining had bought the first game, this one wouldn't need funding from nintendo.

Exactly. Most people who complain probably didn't play the first one.

They must be all xbox folk asking, anyone who played the PS3 version and walked away happy is insane lol.
