I think the Bayonetta amiibo needs to come first! That will sell more than the game! XD

Pocky Lover Boy!

"If that opportunity ever came up to make Bayonetta 3"

That's the key. As far as I know, Sega still owns the IP. That means the decision would have to either come from Sega or Platinum would have to find outside funding once more with Sega's approval.

Would the sales of Bayonetta 2 change Sega's mind about the franchise? Hard to imagine.

Would Nintendo want to fund another Bayonetta? Perhaps. That being said, my own belief is that they got a very sweet deal with Bayonetta 2 because a lot of the work had already been done. I think Sega just wanted to get something out of what they had already invested and Nintendo likely wasn't on the hook for the full cost of the game.

What about Sony/Microsoft? Hard to imagine Microsoft going back to Platinum but it's possible. Sony would probably want to own the IP, so that might be out.

The game might get made but it looks like it has a lot of hurdles to clear.

I think Bayonetta is better for Nintendo's branding than anything else, and I think that Nintendo knows that. Bayonetta is valueable to Nintendo, and her inclusion in Smash proves that they get that and like the association, so I wouldn't be surprised if another exclusivity deal cropped up for the good PR alone.

I hope this doesn't happen. I'll have to buy a Swiitch if it is Swiitch exclusive.

Platinum has developed more games for Nintendo systems than anyone else.(Bayonetta the character has 4 appearances in Wii U games) Kamiya has admitted before he really likes to work with Nintendo. I just hope Nintendo will pony the cash to make Bayo3.
