This! Say it LOUDER for the people at the back! 

What the fuck is a dead IP? Thousands of IPs haven't been used for years and people still pray for them to become back. An IP is dead if the trademark expires and not a second before that. And if anyone knows something about unused IPs it's Nintendo.

As a fan of an IP I would be happy if the eventual game is the best version of what it could be and not an intentionally gimped version that is only available to a select few. Contrary to popular opinion I'd rather eat nothing than shit. There are plenty of great games out there that do not cripple themselves, that I can play while waiting for a proper execution of my favorite IP. Ask all the Bayonetta fans that couldn't or didn't want to afford a Nintendo console how happy they are that Bayonetta lives on, because for them it might as well not exist at all. And looking at the sales that's apparently the majority of Bayonetta fans.

I had this discussion already a long time ago and the facts haven't changed. No one owes Nintendo anything because anyone else could've done the same and probably even better if they had just waited long enough.

They've funded the 2nd game and probably the 3rd aswell.

The first one is a multiplat and rights belong to Sega.

Edit: people have already responded. Kamiya is well known for responses like that. Also, it's not really up to him to decide where his games are being released at.

It still blows my mind that Bayo is a Nintendo exclusive franchise right now. If you asked me if this was going to be a thing way back in the PS360 release of the first game, I would have called you nuts.

Nothing is certain, everything is permitted.

You don't understand exclusives when you're still arguing that it's bad for consumers. Some games would not have existed or have gotten sequels if it wasn't for exclusivity deals. That still holds true today so your fire comparison doesn't make any sense. I mean we are debating about this in a thread about a game that wouldn't have existed without that exclusivity. 

PG themselves said the franchise was officially dead and that they weren't going to go back to it, after SEGA and other publishers refused to pick the game up they were going to shelve the series for good and move on it was only by chance that Nintendo stopped by for something else and someone pitched it to them being the only publisher not approached yet while they were waiting to sort out other business.

Argue what if scenarios all you like but what they've told you is true, most Bayonetta fans are happy it lived on many of the people complaining never bought the games to begin with otherwise the original wouldn't have been a commercial disaster, it's a case of complain because it's not on my platform.

To anyone saying he shouldn't be rude to people asking him if Bayo 2 will come out on other consoles: we're talking about a 4 years old game he, his development team and the company that produced it confirmed countless times would remain an exclusive, if people are asking him the same question in 2018 you can bet they are either trolls or delusional fanboys, he's got all the rights to block people that fill his inbox with questions he already answered years ago

If I were Kamiya I'd have probably said the same thing. The first game was a financial disaster by the accounts of both Platinum and Sega. Bayonetta 2 and 3 exist only because Nintendo financed their development, and Nintendo naturally expected exclusivity in return for their money. Full stop. The people heckling Kamiya over this need to get the fuck over it. I'll be playing Bayo 3 day one on Switch.

I'll not have someone bad mouth Bayonetta on my watch. No sir.

You take that back.

And none of those billion people and thousands of companies didi something for Bayonetta 2 happen, except Nintendo :)
