Hating On Platinum Games Over Bayonetta 2′s WiiU Exclusivity? You’re An Idiot

With some fans taking heated aim at developer Platinum Games over the news that Bayonetta 2 will be released exclusively for the WiiU, Mark Butler argues that such hateful attacks are not just ludicrous generally – but completely nonsensical in this case.

[wishingW3L]

I'm sorry for being an idiot but I can't help it. =(

[Winter47th]

You're an idiot too for hating on the idiots aaawwwWWWWWW*headexplode*

[gaffyh]

It will be timed exclusive guys, don't worry about it too much.

[Kingdom Come]

Nintendo are publishing the game...

[darthv72]

I didnt hate on konami for MGS4 being exclusive to PS3. I ended up getting a PS3 and the game and love it. Im getting a wii-u regardless of this game.

Its not the first time a game has been canceled and bumped up to the next platform. I think soul calibur was such a game in development for PS1 but then it got bumped up to the DC as a launch title.

dont recall people being up in arms over that.

[ABizzel1]

First off Bayonetta didn't sale 1 million units on PS360 combined, it sold nearly 1 million units on each console (PS3 a bit more, 360 a bit less). The Game released in Japan in October 2009 and Worldwide January 2010, and by February 2010 the game had already sold over 1,000,000 units. More than two years later and the game should have pushed closer to the 2 million mark (currently sits a 1.88M on vgchartz).

That being said those people have every right to be upset, but as you said at the fact of it being exclusive to the Wii U, not at Platinum (MS nor Sony stepped in unless they weren't given a chance), or Nintendo who saved a great game.

Sending death threats to the developer does nothing to help your cause, and it's just plain ignorant. They have the right to be upset, angry, and even pissed, but sending death threats is taking it to far.

[guitarded77]

After the initial shock of finding out Bayonetta 2 is exclusive to Wii U and being published by Nintendo, I found it really funny. Bayonetta fans have been waiting for an announcement of Bayonetta 2, then it happens, and it's exclusive to a new console. I don't remember that ever happening before, I just thought it was funny as hell. I don't see Bayonetta 2 as a system seller, but if Nintendo gets enough Bayonetta 2 type exclusives, they could culminate into selling some systems. I pre-orered my Wii U because of Nintendo exclusives like Zelda and Metroid, but I won't be upset with more Bayonettas and other similar exclusives.

[Information Minister]

@kingdom

Nintendo is also publishing Ninja Gaiden 3. Does that mean the FBI will raid my house and take my PS3 copy of the game?

Mass Effect was published by Microsoft on the Xbox and EA on the PC.

I would not be surprised at all to see an "extended" version of Bayonetta releasing with the next gen Xbox and Playstation.

PS: I still think the game is overrated.

[mewhy32]

this is just stupid. we don't hate on sony or microsoft for having exclusive games. get over it.

[Gazondaily]

People are hating on the Wii U exclusivity even though it was Nintendo that basically rescued the franchise?

I don't get it....would people prefer that the game never came out at all as opposed to being released albeit exclusive to a console?

Some people need to stop and think before spilling their corn flakes.

[Army_of_Darkness]

Funny how bayonetta is suddenly getting attention.
It's like people just want to find stupid reasons to hate on Nintendo!? I don't like them, but come on!! You haters are just being stupid now.
It's an exclusive, so if you like the first game, it only means that you should buy a wiiu. End of story.

[SilentNegotiator]

"well...I didnt hate on konami for MGS4 being exclusive to PS3"

Considering MGS had favored the Playstation systems for the last THREE generations, that doesn't exactly compare well to this situation. There was no blind-siding with MGS4.

[Kamikaze135]

@Kingdom Come

And Microsoft published Ninja Gaiden 2. It still ended up on the PS3 with more content.

[Aceman18]

nah i don't hate on nintendo for saving this franchise good for them.

personally i hated the game when i played it on 360 to me its extremely overrated with the worst story, characters, battle music. the combat although good was just a button masher imo.

this being exclusive to wii u wouldn't make me spend 350 just for this one game. i plan on buying the system 6mths to a year from launch when i see a good amount of games i want to play. not just ports of old games i already beat.

[Hisiru]

@Kamikaze135
This time nintendo is INVESTING MONEY in the production of the game. I am sorry to say you that but the game was announced as an exclusive, the team already confirmed Nintendo will help them make the franchise even better.

You won't see this game on another platform, it's a deep collaboration between Nintendo and Platinum Games. Deal with it and stop making excuses.

It's funny that people is always saying "I have no reason to buy a WiiU" and when they get more reasons they give more excuses.

[Persistantthug]

Bayonetta has a lots of asses flopping around gratuitously on screen, and I don't believe for a second that Nintendo is going to be able to handle this on their KID & FAMILIY friendly console(s).

I mean, Nintendo couldn't even handle THE BINDING OF ISAAC.

I hate censorship, and this has always been Nintendo's M.O.
For this reason, Bayonetta does not belong on the Wii U.

[STK026]

No more heroes, MadWorld and House of the Dead Overkill were violent games on the Wii and Nintendo did not try to censor them in any way.

You say Nintendo has been censoring games forever, yet, I can't remember them censoring a game. Even BMX XXX was released uncensored on the Gamecube while it was censored on the PS2.

[NatureOfLogic]

ZombiU? will be one of the most brutal games when it comes out. Do some research then tell me that Nintendo won't make these type of games.

[Persistantthug]

Do you believe Nintendo is going to try to cover her more up?

I think they will.

[STK026]

Maybe they will censor nudity, but I think it's too soon to assume they will. Like I said, they did allow an uncensored version of BMX XXX on the gamecube while Sony asked Acclaim to censor it on the PS2. Of course, that was years ago, have standards changed at Nintendo? Maybe, but I for one have yet to see it.

If you look at the Wii, I don't think Nintendo went to developers and publishers and told them how to develop their games; the publishers simply assumed that kid-friendly was more fitted and went with it. When I think of Nintendo, I think of a console maker who makes a console for everyone. The games developed at Nintendo and it's 2nd party studios range from family-friendly to hardcore games. It's mostly the third party publishers who have gone out of their way to make sure the Wii, and even the DS/3DS look like theyw ere made only for kids.

[na-no-nai]

If that the case, what about NG3 and Nintendo publishing it? Suppose to have blood and dismemberment, and that was no where to be seen on the ps3/360 version

[oricon]

Have you not seen the exclusive Ayane mission in Ninja gaiden for the wii-u that nintendo is publishing and Nintendo are not censoring anything of it.

Your comparing Nintendo in the early 90s when seeing a woman get hit in medias such as games and cartoons as a really bad thing.

[Ben_Grimm]

Persistantthug

Nudity? Bayonetta had nudity? I really don't remember that game having nudity in it. It's not like she was walking around fully exposed with t*ts and b**h hanging out. She was always covered by her hair.

Besides if Nintendo can let House of the Dead have a character that gleefully walks into his own monsterous mother's vagina then I'm sure they can allow for some nipple shots.

[ninjabake]

Nintendo is also publishing Ninja Gaiden 3 and it will be the most violent version of the game...on a Nintendo console(that only does kid and family friendly games, right?) Published by Nintendo no less LOL

Just because you want to follow a stigma that YOU want to believe, doesn't mean that is truly the case. Bayonetta is a solid game that is right where it belongs

[PopRocks359]

Ninja Gaiden III on Wii U put BACK dismemberment when the 360/PS3 versions don't.

[dredgewalker]

Lol I remember House of the Dead Overkill and I'm surprised by the amount of swearing in that game that I forbid my daughter from ever playing it. So I'm not gonna be surprised of Nintendo doesn't censor Bayonetta 2. It seems that Nintendo wants to expand their range of consumers.

[nintendojunkie28]

Yeah,gaffyh...how many games published by Nintendo have you been playing on your PS3/360 lately?

[Thatguy-310]

It's exclusive. Nintendo is publishing the game. So we're all screwed if we dont pick up the game. I'm just going to wait and see how much the IP will suffef from this stupid move.

[STK026]

The IP can't "suffer" more than it already has. SEGA decided not to publish a Bayonetta 2. Nintendo decided to pick it up. Don't want to buy a Wii-U? Fine, don't, but don't come here saying we would've had a Bayonetta 3 had it not been for Nintendo. Without Nintendo, not only would there not be a Bayonetta 3, you wouldn't even have a 2.

[ritsuka666]

What's funny is now all of the fans are hating on Bayonetta now. It's hilarious, they're fucking pathetic fanboys.

[Flavor]

People get pissed off when a game everybody wants is shackled to the one console nobody wants.

[geddesmond]

The only people that think this deal is alright are the Nintendo fans. What some people don't get is if they want to continue playing a franchise they love then they are forced to buy a consol they don't want!!!

Imagine Nintendo sold the rights to Mario and Sony bought those rights and future Mario games were on the PS3, how many Nintendo fans that love Mario would be angry at a move like that especially since most Nintendo fanboys hate Sony.

I personally don't give a crap about Bayonetta. I bought it for the PS3, lived through the horrible loading times everytime you picked up an item and barely finished the game. Its too girly for my liking but people need to use logic here.

Also the statement Platinum games released about this is hilarious. The way they make it sound is they are expecting the Wii U to sell like the Wii lol. One of the reasons the Wii sold so much was because of the cheap price but Wii U doesn't have that going for them lol.

Yeah to make the game available to more people they ditch 2 consols that have over 100 mil sold between them in favour for a consol that will have 10 mil units sold first year at most lol. I love the stupid marketing people these publishers higher these days lol.

[princejb134]

im not worried but sega should be
do they expect to see huge sales on a new console
and if history does repeat itself, most likely its gonna sell low because the title doesnt have mario in it

[NYC_Gamer]

It's not their fault that Sega decided to scrap the project

[dark-hollow]

Seriously! It's either exclusive to the Wii u or not exist at all!

[victoryscreeeeeech]

So am i the only one that realizes that before they announced the game, everybody was talking about how the Wiiu aint got no good game or games that interest them. Now that there is a game that clearly people want to play, they say FUCK IT BRING IT TO MY CONSOLE OR ELSE. SEGA cancelled the game and nintendo bought it, if u guys really have a problem u should have let your favorite publisher, or even SEGA to bring back the game, is it Nintendo's fault that the see this game and is FUNDING IT. Now would the same arguments be hapening if SONY bought the exclusive right to the game. Not on N4G. Sorry for grammar, leave replys if one disagrees

[geddesmond]

Lol that ain't my reason for not wanting a Wii U. My reason is I don't want to waste good money on a consol that will be left behind when PS4 and Xbox 720 release with double the power lol. Sega announced they canceled the game after all the hate as an excuse, don't be so naive, Bayonnetta 2 development has been hinted at a few years now lol.

[Mad_Mack]

Jesus it wasnt even that good a game...

[PygmelionHunter]

That subject is completely tied to opinions, besides, even if it wasn't a good game, that doesn't mean the next one will be just as bad or worse.

[WrAiTh Sp3cTr3]

Depends on what console you played it on.

[ChickeyCantor]

This game was delish. Don't care for how cheesy the story was. The combat feels so good. I NEED THIS.

[rpd123]

I concur

[AWBrawler]

I knew it! I saw it coming1 They playing the "it wasn't that good" Card. predictable fanboys.

[yewles1]

"Hating On Platinum Games Over Bayonetta 2′s WiiU Exclusivity? You’re An Idiot"

You're just mad that the reception hasn't been unanimous approval. It's your fault for not seeing this coming.

[shodan74]

People don't have to be happy that it's a WiiU exclusive. But raging at Platinum Games makes no sense. SEGA cancelled the project - and this was probably the only realistic way to salvage it.

[yewles1]

Not my point, it's the hypocritical 'ping pong'ing of anger by people over circumstances that are constantly done over and over. Getting mad at others getting mad has always been fruitless.

[Timmer]

There's a difference between hating on a developer for a move like this, and sending retarded death threats to the company on Twitter.

I still lol at the "I'M GOING TO KICK A DOLPHIN IN THE VAGINA" tweet.

[Carl_Shocker]

How are people actually surprized that people are mad...I mean really. Yes some people might be a little immature about it but can you really blame them if they liked the game so much

People keep saying "Oh it wouldn't exsist without Nintendo" yeah well Bayonetta as a franchise wouldn't of exsisted with the 360/PS3 fanbase

It just bugs me that the majority of Nintendo console only users most likely didn't give a crap about Bayonetta, dismissed it like so many other third party titles because it never came to the Wii but now because the sequel is an exclusive it's like "YAY...AMAZING FRANCHISE, SO EXCITED"....

I mean it's like if Square Enix made Kingdom Hearts 3 a Wii U exclusive...would that be fair when the fanbase is the PS3 majority and they are the ones that got it where it is today.

For me it's not about what console it's on...I'll buy a Wii U in the far future and will play it eventually but it's just a slap to the face to the real Bayonetta fans, the ones who actually played and finished the first game.

[chadboban]

Sorry but PS2,DS,3DS and PSP got Kingdom Hearts to where it is today. There hasn't been a single one for PS3 as yet.

And to the "real Bayonetta fans". This game wouldn't even be coming out if Nintendo didn't save it. I'd rather Bayonetta 2 on Wii U than no Bayonetta 2 at all.

Still, fanboys will be fanboys.

[stragomccloud]

Actually, I think you'll find that most Nintendo gamers are pretty well rounded. Fanboys exist, yes. However, it is somewhat of a rarity compared to the other consoles. I love Nintendo, but of course I also own an xbox 360 and a PS3. The first Bayonetta was awesome, I have it for the 360, and now that the new one is coming out on the Wii U, which I've just pre ordered, I'm really happy about that. I think that my point is, that people need to follow the games, not the systems. If a game a lot of people like or will probably like go to a system, they should try to also invest in that system. I know that that sometimes seems like a lot to ask. However, we have an expensive hobby, and it comes with the territory.

That said. I don't think I need to convince you, and for the record I agree with you. It does kind of seem, like a slap in the face to the fans. Though, at least it's not as bad as when Squaresoft jumped ship to Sony. That was insane!!!

[r21]

If SE ever made KH3 and made it a freaking wii u exclusive, I'd probably go to SE and start slapping each employee. If it ever should be a console exclusive, it must be on PS. I mean KH started on the PS2 anyways so it should end(?) on a PS product. That or it goes multiplatform to every console available.

[Argos84]

Like how Final Fantasy started on a Nintendo product, and ended on a Nintendo product?

[AWBrawler]

Disney + Nintendo goes together like Peanut Butter and jelly. I always considered Nintendo the Disney of video games anyway, and both have many similarities

[the worst]

the game sucked anyway

[user7792788]

Free advertisement for the game imo.

[Moonman]

That's what I was about to say. It will sell more now because of the fuss over it.

[OooHJohnny]

Well... call me an idiot if you want but I'm not gonna buy a Wii U just to play Bayonetta 2. Nothing has convinced me yet to buy a Wii U to be honest...

[PooEgg]

You are not an idiot. That is a perfectly reasonable solution. Don't like it don't buy it. The idiots are the people who are sending irrational hate messages and acting like Nintendo just killed a puppy. Being disappointed is one thing, and stating your disappointment is fine, good, and healthy. The problem is the way some gamers show their disappointment which makes all of us look bad.

[Afterlife]

Smash Brothers U eventual release is enough for me.

[Lucretia]

while im not the biggest fan of bayonetta (character and story wise) the gameplay was good, but its not enough to be a system seller.

a New and REAL devil may cry game would be a different story.

and its true, its better its on wii-u than nothing at all.

being mad is normal, but it wont change anything, u can always get the wii-u in the bargain bin when the next nintendo console launches in 5 years so no worries u will play it

[ChunkyLover53]

There was literally going to be no Bayonetta 2 until Nintendo went in and decided to publish the game. Why hate on anyone for that? I'm happy Nintendo had the faith to put up their own money to get the game out at all.

Its a feather in the cap and Bayonetta is one of Sega's best IP's, its a core title and a core exclusive and its only on the Wii U.

[ThePsychoGamer]

While Bayonetta is a great game, It is far from being one of Sega's best IPs.

[mochachino]

It's not like PS3 and 360 users even bought the game, its sales were very low. How many of these people whining even bought the first game or didn't pick it up from a bargain bin.

If Bayonetta 1 sold well, guaranteed Bayonetta 2 would have been on 360 and PS3.....

[Afterlife]

I know VGChartz isn't the best source but they have it at just about 2 million.

[mochachino]

1.88 mill on VG across both system is still too low for real profit, and the first months sales were terrible, most of those were bargain bin sales.

I doubt they profited from the game, if they did, they'd put it on PS3 and 360.

[wiiu_peeu]

Pppl shouldnt hate. I understand that ppl enjoyed the first, but imo its not one of those games that you have to have (ala Zelda, Uncharted, or Gears). There is a reason it wasnt picked up by the other big two between two systems it barely sold two million so to them its not a big loss and not a system seller at all.

In anycase i hope it turns out to be a good game for the wii u.

[Theyellowflash30]

Bayonetta gameplay in the action genre is second to none. If you really like indepth skill based action games like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta is easily a must have game.

[cyberninja]

Never played the first one, because it did not appeal to me, thefore i'm not hating on anyone.

[OniXRuleZ]

ya i am an idiot, and i believe NINTENDO will need all the exclusives to beat XBOX or PS3, imagine the true next gen then? NINTENDO not out but already lost the war!

[Theyellowflash30]

LOL, just like the Wii right?

[ohbaby]

OH yeah got my deluxe Wii U. Gonna play. Bayonetta 2. Gotta do what u gotta do. If u crying i feel sorry for U. HAHAHA SILLY CRYBABIES BUY WII U FOR BAYONETTA. 2. SCOOBY SCOOBY DOOOOOOOOOO.

[Simco876]

How many people do you know that say..."I gotta get that WiiU for Bayonettea 2!"

Yeah me either.

[AWBrawler]

there's plenty saying it online. check facebook and twitter.

[DasTier]

Whats the issue here? The original game blew chunks anyway...

[amaguli]

I'm interested in seeing in how Platinum is going to get people up to speed with what happened in the original (even though the story is nonsensical). While it is disappointing it is not going to be on the PS3/360, it is nice to see Nintendo working with 3rd party devs to get exclusives.

[baldulf]

It's not hate, but sadness at seeing how bad Platinum Games chooses its publishing partners.

The first Bayonetta was already a niche game on the 360/PS3. It's not going to sell even half of it on the Wii U.

And let's pray that Nintendo doesn't force touch screen controls on the game.

[SageHonor]

And the journalist continues to stroke the flames.

[stuntman_mike]

It's just like when the new devil may cry was announced people went bat shit crazy over the change, theres always gonna be people who do this.

it is sad but true.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

The difference is Bayonetta will still be Bayonetta, running on the same engine......and less F bombs....

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Well, people complained about Nintendo Wii not having enough great games and it's obvious they won't be making the same mistake this time by this move. I'm not saying, fans should be upset but I'd rather Platinum move to Nintendo then tiptoe on the shake platform known as Sega.

Bayonetta and Vanquish virtually didnt get any real advertisement from their last publisher, I mean even on the Sega website you would see only info on Sonic, Total War Shogun or Jet Set Radio. When you look up any Platinum title you would only see their CD box and that's it compared to the videos and page decorations of others.

It's obvious that future was looking bleak for them and even though my dreams of a Sonic game made by PG+ is dashed,I say it's a smart move........

[LostDjinn]

Firstly, lol at 3 accounts on this page being 1 person (classy stuff).

Secondly (and more importantly), let's see how this pans out. If the game is a vast improvement on the first (in was current hardware can't provide (not just touchscreen)) then I'll be happy. If not you know Platinum was just going through the motions for a (Nintendo based) paycheck.

Only time will tell.

[Dreambox]

Gamers today make me sad.

There's too much "core" crap to digest. A game is a game, and a console is a console. Get over it, children. Yes, I did call you children, because most of you are big man-babies. Grown men crying over a console and a game. PS3 & Xbox this, Wii U that. Pathetic. And you all wonder why gamers are looked down upon.

Nintendo brought the game back from the dead, you should be happy it's going to be released at all. But no, you're all crying it's now an exclusive to the Wii U. You all say it was released on the PS3 and Xbox so therefore the sequel deserves to be released on them as well. However, the same happened with Final Fantasy VII. Those were Nintendo games, but then Square jumped over to Sony. You're not complaining about this, oh no.

And I've read that people will purchase a Wii U when Bayonetta 2 is released, so don't pretend nobody is going to buy one to play the game, because, apparently, many people will be.

Will I be buying a Wii U? Sure, just not at launch. I'll be buying one because I enjoy video games, I am NOT bound to one system like most people. If I see games I like on another system, then I'll buy that console to play them. Simple. Why would I limit myself, honestly? There's no purpose to limiting oneself.

Lastly, people are seriously saying they're never going to play a game made by Platinum Games again? People sure do get uppity about a VIDEO GAME, don't they? It's funny... in a sad, sad way. Have fun missing out on their games.

[PooEgg]

Good points. Personally I think it is okay to be disappointed, and it is even okay for people to prefer one system over the other. Their is a way to state something that is respectful to others while still getting your point across, it is only the gamers who rely on angry and aggressive words to make their point that bothers me, because it makes all gamers look bad.

[ash_divine]

I'm pretty indifferent to all of this, but I have to agree with the article.

It seems like Platinum didn't really have a choice in the matter.

Truth is, Nintendo was probably like : "Wii-U exclusive or GTFO."

And I mean, it's not like they could say no.(it's was that or no game at all.)

[koehler83]

I think it's perfect.

Bayonetta was a subversive indictment of its core audience, the basement-dwelling pixel jerkers. Nothing but shallow, borderline misogynistic pandering set to porn music. Really pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable in games and seeing just how feverishly the BDPJs would eat it up. And man, they ate it up.

Now they're seeing if they can push it even further by making the BDPJs buy entirely new hardware for their next hit.

I can't wait to see the results.

[mshope10]

I know one thing I will be playing bayonetta 2,cod black ops2,a.c.3,zombie u,monster hunter 3 ultimate,new super Mario bros u,pikmin 3,tekken tag 2,all on wii u. one console that has Nintendo games and plenty of core games.

[YoungPlex]

People are always going to be upset when a game that was multiplat goes exclusive. I honestly think that its great for both Platinum and Nintendo.

Nintendo wise, it shows that they mean business by revitalizing a franchise that was on the verge of death. Publishing this titles backs up what they said earlier about getting the core audience back!

Platinum wise, it leave them to exclusively develop on one console and possibly get help from Nintendo. This leaves more time to develop and tweak for one specific console instead of wasting time porting to another. I honestly think that expanding their relationships with third-party companies could bring back the core audience, after they get over the the first initial shock of loosing their beloved franchises to Nintendo.

I honestly feel that the game will evolve into something great on Nintendo, and hope to see more exclusive on the Wii U. They are off to a surprisingly great start and I'm almost convinced I'll get one; question is when...

[Mr-Dude]

shame that if this game was exclusive for PS3 or XBox 360 there was no sh*itstorm... But now when Nintendo steps into the HD era and claims an exclusive title everybody is raging.... It's not that it hasn't happend before on the PS3 or Xbox 360...

O and i own a Ps3 and XBox

But this thing is just childisch, come on

[koehler83]

I think there would very much be a shitstorm if it were exclusive to Xbox or PS3. I think you're diluting yourself by claiming otherwise.

[ShaunCameron]

Actually more so if it was and XBox exclusive. We all know how PS fanboys act when a game of interest is available on everybody except Sony's consoles. Better yet when a marquee PS exclusive goes multiplatform. *cough* Final Fantasy *cough*

[Ravenous_Syn]

Got a good point there. If it was on the PS3 or Xbox, no Nintendo only fanboy would be raging.

[KonaBro]

Good for the Nintendo fans to get Bayonetta 2 but I can guarantee you that this game will flop by being an exclusive on Wii U. Even when Bayonetta 1 was multi-platform the game barely crawled to 1.5 million so I seriously doubt the game will do that by itself on a brand new console people will have to spend $300 to play.

[DevilishSix]

Love Bayonetta, big fan, purchased and played it on both the 360 and PS3.

My question is who owns the IP rights PG or SEGA. I bet it is SEGA and they put the publishing agreement in place with Ninty. I believe the anger probably should be directed at SEGA.

That said it is a classless move by SEGA to allow this to happen and alienate the fanbase from the original.

Selling two million copies as a new IP is a success, I will not buy the line that Ninty came along and saved poor Bayonetta 2. It sounds stupid.

Just come out and tell the truth....for example Ninty and SEGA (two Japanese companies) throwing each other a solid or sorry fans, Ninty swooped in with an offer we couldn't refuse, so now buy a Wii U or forget about playing the sequel.

oh and to the author of the article...you are the fn idiot...a**hat...f***stick.

[NBT91]

1) the system could do with some third party exclusives anyway.
And 2) we get these articles every exclusive announced for any console; it's not idiocy it's just over complicating what is simple. Do you want to play the game? If yes then you know what you need to buy, if you don't want to buy the console to play it then it's your own problem really...

[bayonetta]

you have two choice :
1- SEGA : No Bayonetta 2
2- Nintendo : buy our new hardware for 300$ + Bayonetta 2

[sdplisken]

i seriously doubt the fanbase of ps3/360 fans are going to buy a new console over this game

i played the demo, wasnt impressed
oh well congrats wiiu fans

[DivineAssault]

Oh it was a good game my friend.. I really enjoyed it after a good 5 hrs into the story.. It just isnt a system seller.. I wont buy a wii u just for a sequel.. They wouldve been better off gtn Konami on board with MG revengence instead of publishing this.. Its not even a day 1 launch title anyway.. Just sucks that ppl who own the 1st game on their console will miss out on this one..

[TrendyGamers]

I'm excited for it, that's for sure.

[2pacalypsenow]

its bayonetta ? who cares if its exclusive ?

[Ritsujun]

your english rocks.

[2pacalypsenow]

*English

[deletingthis34675334]

A game coming out only on a particular system. Oh no it is the end of the fucking world! Oh wait, no it isn't. Oops, you are just a retarded fanboy.

[mt]

it is good move if they will release B1 boundled with it maybe.
still won't buy wii for it.

[Omnislash]

I dont see what the problem is. They probably want to try out and see what the Wii U has in store. The beginning of a new gen...

[crawling182]

I won't hate on platinum, I still like them as a developer and can't wait to see Rising. If anything I'm just a little disappointed since I enjoyed the first Bayonetta for its over the top gameplay.

[Gamer-Z]

No not really

[Abel3D]

Exclusives are nothing new, geeze.

Unless Sega owns some part of Bayonetta Platinum Games can whatever they want with her. Nintendo just happened to pick her up to publish its no different than a small game studio coming to EA or Capcon asking for their game to be published. Shame thoe I liked Bayonetta and I dont really want to buy a Wii-U yet.

Thanks for all the internet circuses, whining clowns.

Hate always turns to love. It did for me when I heard FF7 wouldn`t be on a Nintendo console...

Credit where credit is due though. I didnt think gamers could possibly make themselves look any more like entitled tosspots after the Mass Effect 3 ending saga, but heck, they've done it!!
Drinks all around!!

SMH. Gamers got some serious entitlement issues.

Well however i got put off by the over done dialogue and annoying personality of bayonetta at the start so, if i want play it that badly i can always buy part 1 cheap.

@Posters claiming it is only a bad game, now that it is exclusive to the wii u, that is bs, because some of us tried 2 yrs ago and said not my thing.

And really considered the wii u, will be relatively cheap in 3-5 yrs, just pick it up cheap, if you get a wii u in the next couple yrs.

Right pops, conker predates ng 3, if your trying to that prove doesn't always have a squeaky clean image, it is thought to have. But seriously ng3, that is your bragging point, get you get the least retarded version of what is considered the worst game of the series, big win.

"It will be timed exclusive guys, don't worry about it too much."

keep dreaming.

[Kennytaur]

Just a thought; what if Segas "cancellation" was simply them cancelling the publishing and not the game itself. Meaning Nintendo bought the publishing rights from Sega, mid-development. I don't believe what I've just written to be true, but do we know for a fact that it's not?

[sly-Famous]

The Wii U can get all following Bayonetta games for all I care, seriously, I still cant see what the fuss is, it really wasnt that good of a game, it was and will be a good looking game but thats where it ends.

[XB1_PS4]

Nintendo acquired a good exclusive title, which they need to succeed.. Stop crying over spilled milk. Either your a big enough fan to get Wii U, or not.

Shit game. Sorry.

[Run_bare]

Mark Butler must be an idiot, I will say it in his face. What are his answers to the people that bought it on PS3 and XBOX, there is one million of us. He is saying that we should fork out for a new console?

He clearly is one sided and only think what best for Platinum Games, not the gamer itself that supported the game in the first place.

[Apex13]

All you dumb pricks and idiots should have supported both the game and platinum in the first place and maybe it would not be on a single platform. I for one will be buying it haaaaaa
