Nintendo owns Bayonetta 2 but not the Bayonetta IP.

This.  It's likely Bayo 2 wont be hitting up on PC ever.

We don't know what Sega and Nintendo agreed upon with Bayo 2. If Sega really wants a PC port, then they'll probably figure something out.

We have zero evidence of a contract like that being in place. Ninty having Bayo 2 to tiself till the end of time sounds like the worst business deal of the century. To carry on with the franchise, but not allow other platforms to have 2, to not have a missing piece just comes off as illogical when you want to tap another user base. 

Also all we have to run on is that Ninty funded it and nothing more, no photo proof of a solid timeless binding contract for Bayo 2.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

True I guess it's possible but then if they can port to PC then they can port to PS4/XB1 which would be nice.

We do have word from Kakiya himself tho that if Bayonetta 2 were to ever come to another system it's up to Nintendo. So Nintendo does own the code.  The only likely way they could get the game on PC otherwise and if this didn't violate any contract is if they remade the game with a difference source code. Also Publishing deals like this are not uncommon. In the 90s everythingTreasure made ended up being owned by SEGA becaus eof the publishing deal. Well for Platinum they do not own Bayonetta. SEGA does. Mistwalker had the same deal with MicroSoft. Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are fully owned by MS. Only reason sequels came to DS is because MS has no competitor in that space and allowed it. Hell we nearly had Halo on DS. We have enough proof from Kamiya's word and the fact this kind of publishing deal of owning the game is VERY VERY common.

It still doesn't mean that we'll never ever see bayo 2 on PC. We can already play it via Cemu for example.

But the chances are as likely as Zelda Botw on PC. Again as Kamiya said.

Which again can be played on Cemu. It's not an impossibility.

You are talking about piracy I am talking about an official release.

Except for those that already own the game, but sure we can lump piracy in with everything else.
