Kamiya Jokes That Fans Asking For Bayonetta 2 On PS3 Should Also Ask For Zelda

Platinum says the only way Bayonetta 2 will hit 360/PS3 is if Nintendo publishes it for those platforms.

[Lovable]

Ok goodluck with the sales then.

[NYC_Gamer]

Well, to be honest the first one didn't sale enough for SEGA to even worry about publishing a sequel.

[Lovable]

Well they shouldn't release a broken product.

[abzdine]

i disliked Bayonetta very much and i have no interest in this one. but yes as mentionned above good luck with the sales!
but sooner or later Wii U will drop price so Bayonetta freaks can go get one to try this game:)

Wii U and PS4 best combo this gen

Greatness awaits
4>1

[Mr_Nuts]

@Loveable

Yeah you have a point, people keep saying "Oh but it didn't do well Nintendo saved it" but forget that SEGA should of done a better job at marketing and PG should of done a better job at making sure the game was polished. The PS3 version was a mess apparently

Nintendo arn't doing this for fans, they are doing it because they saw a game that started development and never got published and knew they needed more 3rd party software on their console. This will do terrible in terms of sales and Nintendo will let it go, you'll not see them funding Bayonetta 3 I'll tell you that

[IcyEyes]

If they are happy ... I'm happy for them.

ot
I never liked bayonetta ... I mean, she looks pretty "lame" to me, but with this new hairstyle she only get worst.
/ot

[LOL_WUT]

This game is soo off my radar I don't even know anyone who likes Bayonnetta 2 except for the Nintendo fanboys who seem to be the only ones hyping it up. ;)

The guy still has time to port it over if he even wants the game to sell ;)

[Blacklash93]

@ Mr. Nuts

What's done is done with the original Bayonetta. SEGA screwed up with it and it just so happened Nintendo thought it might be worthwhile to publish a sequel for the sake of the hardcore audience. If you're going to say "Nintendo is just doing it for business" you should realize every company does the same thing and to say otherwise is a double standard. The only thing that really matters is that Nintendo was willing to support a sequel where others would not.

Honestly it's hard to say if the PS3 port affected sales much, I mean Bayonetta is very niche and quirky, and quality isn't necessarily going to strongly mitigate that it doesn't appeal to most. The game was well-advertised as far as awareness went and advertising it in a rather honest fashion may not have done it any favors.

And to clarify about the sales, the game did sell well over a million, but that wasn't enough for SEGA or the budget the game was made on, apparently.

But how about stop howling against the wind and just support and wish the best for the game? That's the only thing we can do now.

[pixelsword]

No one asked.

[Realplaya]

@ Lol you troll every damn Nintendo article but it's funny because you go on articles and pull a flip flop move and praise the company like a rabid fanboy. Dude or Female whichever you are pick a side and stay there please. Right now you look foolish.

[ChickeyCantor]

@LOL_WUT

"The guy still has time to port it over if he even wants the game to sell ;)"

You really don't get it do you? The Zelda remark implies that it is and ALWAYS will be a Nintendo exclusive. It's tied to their contract. Nintendo funded the project so they claimed royalty.

[PopRocks359]

That and the first Bayonetta didn't sell well across the 360 or the PS3.

Also if anyone else is stupid enough to bring up how bad the PS3 port of the first game was, it wasn't even made by Platinum Games. It was outsourced to another developer entirely.

[akaihana86plus]

@Realplaya, be careful because if you don't agree with his troll comments he might start PM ing you and ask you to block him if you don't like what you see, believe me, personal experience, he even had the nerve to call me shemale?! lol, what a clown

[CarlosX360]

I want a Zelda title on PS3/PS4, but not a single developer will get the whole Zelda feel down to the littlest detail (or better). Sometimes, I wish Nintendo was a third party developer...

[Lord_Sloth]

If I had a dev team, I could do it!

[dragon_rocks]

Play Darksiders games.

[dragonyght]

close to a zelda title is 3d dot game heroes

[jcnba28]

I wish sony was a third party developer :/

[browngamer41]

@ dragon Rocks

Umm yeah no thanks, I wasted 60 dollars on Darksiders 2 when i bought my WiiU because I was led to believe it was very similar to Zelda in game play style.Would be totally true if Zelda consited of nothing but ball rolling and robot thingy puzzles and samey bland boring dungeons-As a huge Zelda fan I'm here to tell you this game(dk2) is nothing like Zelda except for overworld/dungeon structure and it's not like rpgs haven't been doing that for years..

[ChickeyCantor]

"Play Darksiders games."

Not even close...Seriously.

[WiiUsauce]

Okami is the closest you can get to an amazing Zelda game on other consoles. Seriously, GO PLAY OKAMI, YOU CAN GET IT FOR 20 BUCKS REMASTERED IN HD ON PS3!!!! DO IT NOW!!!! IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES YOU'LL EVER PLAY, TRUST ME!! ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIKE ZELDA! Sorry, I just can't recommend Okami enough. I love that game so much.

[plaZeHD]

Agreed. The Playstation 3 version was a mess, and most of the audiences of the game were Playstation fans.

[allgamespc2012]

ya cause the first one sold so well right? it sold so well nintendo had to save the franchise. itll sell more on wii u than it did on ps3 and deadbox combined

[jcnba28]

LOL watch Bayo 2 sell more copies on Wii U than Bayo 1 did on ps3 or 360.

[Prime_28]

I wouldn't be surprised the game looks great.

[truechainz]

I know im gettin it

[Munnkyman]

I think after this last e3 people are going to get the games. Seems great and it was nintendos top view video on youtube from e3

[_QQ_]

You know its up to Nintendo because they funded the game right?,So you are asking Nintendo to give up an exclusive, something no company would ever do for free.Think before you hate.

[BullyMangler]

it seems they are after something much bigger more important rather saLes.

The gLory of exclusives.

[leahcim]

sales projection: 250k world-wide and I am being optimistic

[WiiUsauce]

Just buy a Wii U for Bayonetta!! I'm glad it's not on PS360. Bayonetta 2 on Wii U looks visually better than anything on current gen consoles, and it runs @60fps and in native 1080p. Making it on Wii U was clearly the right decision.

[wishingW3L]

every time this guy opens his mouth it's for something negative, to insult his fans, to confirm that he is an idiot, etc.

Just the other day he insulted all Smash Bros fans because they were asking him on Twitter if Bayonetta was going to be part of the new Smash Bros game... But anyway, PG owns Bayonetta and Nintendo owns Zelda. Ninja Gaiden 2 was funded and published by MS and here it is on PS3 too, so this guy should shut the hell up and make more sense of the stupid crap he's always shouting. I bet he could find another publisher for a PS3 version under a slightly different name. I mean, Bayonetta is their best IP after all.

[NihonjinChick]

I kind of get why he said this. People keep asking him about something that is out of his hands. Nintendo funded the development and is publishing Bayonetta 2.

He keeps telling people that the decision is up to Nintendo but they keep asking him, when they should actually be asking Nintendo.

[Locksus]

Oh, I wonder why he's getting annoyed at people when literally hundreds of people ask him the same questions every day. I'd get annoyed too at that point.

[LAWSON72]

That title goes to Vanquish.

[Fakdafakinfakerz]

Kamiya always bets on the wrong horse.

[Tewi-Inaba]

You know that horse is actually the one that bet on him right?

Right?

[Fakdafakinfakerz]

LOL

[Mr_Nuts]

We'll see Kamiya...never say never

Weirder things have happened in this industry.

I really don't get SEGA for not wanting to publish the sequel. Oh but they can publish Anarchy Reigns which was crap but they don't want to publish Bayonetta 2 and give them another chance on a game which has a lot of room for improvement, SEGA publishing it on the Wii U aswell as Xbox One and the PS4 would of gotten the game extra sales for them.

[Dj7FairyTail]

Sega cancelled it. Nintendo picked it up.

[Mr_Nuts]

...urm...yeah thanks for telling me something I already knew

I never said once in my comment "Who ended up picking this up" or "What happened to the development" I just wondered why SEGA did not give them another chance despite funding other crap which do terrible when it comes to reviews/sales.

[Dj7FairyTail]

But you did implied why didnt Sega published it

[jcnba28]

Yeah and publishing GTA 5 on Wii U and PC would also get the game more sales, what's your point?

[haymoza]

Did he really compare Bayonetta to the Legend of Zelda series?

[Transporter47]

not a comparison he was saying that instead of asking for bayonetta 2 ask for zelda which basically means that they are not porting it.

[RankFTW]

No he didn't. Bayonetta 2 is published by Nintendo as is Zelda, so people wanting Nintendo to release Bayonetta 2 on anything other than a Nintendo console should also ask for Zelda as that has the same chance.

[Dj7FairyTail]

no he comparing the chance of porting it. Zelda is never going to be ported because Nintendo owns it like Bayonetta ,2.

[haymoza]

It's still a comparison. Bayonetta is nowhere near established to even be put in the same sentence as Zelda.

[BosSSyndrome]

It's not about establishment, It's about Nintendo's ownership of this title. Bayonetta 2 has as much chance of losing exclusivity as Zelda.

[Realplaya]

He's simply saying that you have just as much chance of getting this game as you do Zelda.

[cervantes99]

Putting this on PS3/4 along with all first party Nintendo games would be a financial stroke of genius - however never going to happen.

[Dj7FairyTail]

you're missing his point.

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

Ill ask Nintendo for a 360 version

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Just release Vanquish on Playstation 4 and Ill be good.

[SpiralTear]

Bayonetta 2 looks just as over-the-top and crazy fun as the first. If you don't want to buy a Wii U for it, then don't. It's your decision, but it looks fun to me and many other people.

But stop blaming Nintendo and Platinum Games for the Wii U exclusivity. If anything, blame Sony or Microsoft for NOT publishing the sequel.

[Mr_Nuts]

*** blame Sony or Microsoft for NOT publishing the sequel. ***

We don't even know if they were asked, what about other publishers like Konami for example, were they asked, after working on Metal Gear Rising you would think they would of.

If he comes out and states MS and Sony said no then I'll start blaming them but to me and others it just seems like PG jumped onto the first deal that came along instead of looking at their options.

[NihonjinChick]

Well, Nintendo is paying for the development. Of course PG would jump on that opportunity. Not a lot of publishers will offer to fund the whole project.

[Blacklash93]

I can't believe people are so much more concerned with "blaming" than just being glad Bayonetta 2 is happening.

[smashcrashbash]

Still not sure what is with all the begging for Bayonetta. Bayonetta was an okay game but nothing worth begging over.

[antikbaka]

after watching Bayonetta sequel over and over again i can say that it's just secondary product.

It's obvious Nin didn't give them lot's of money and they were tight on budjet. Graphic is the same as in previous game, although WiiU is supposed to be better than curent gen. The same sounds,the same interface. Didn't hear any good music like it was in fabulous Bayonetta 1. Jeanne is ugly...and tits are smaller.

It's obvious Kamiya doesn't care about sales, he is happy that he managed to sell it to nintendo and that's all. Only business, nothing personal.

[NihonjinChick]

"and the tits are smaller" I stopped reading there. I couldn't take your comment serious after that.

Also, how can you come to all these conslusions? They hardly showed any gameplay.

[antikbaka]

there are lots of videos of demo gameplay much longer than official video

[Blacklash93]

We've only heard one piece of orchestral trailer music, with the gameplay sound drowned out by the E3 crowds and commentary to the point you can barely even hear the sound effects. I mean honestly how can you even make that conclusion?

The graphics do look noticably better from the first with details and lighting (though a massive leap is it not by any means) and the backrounds look much more detailed. The action itself even manages somehow to be even crazier and more busy. The game does not look like it's on a budget at all, unless your lowest standards are Uncharted production quality.

Tits? Why am I not surprised?

I think Kamiya is just happy they get to make a sequel in the first place. If there's one thing about Platinum it's that they always make the games they want.

[PrinceOfAnger]

who need Zelda anyway...........

[Ilovetheps5]

Me. I love Zelda games and buy Zelda games the day they come out.

[browngamer41]

People who enjoy amazing game play and epic adventures, people who like their games to be designed and polished to a sheen, and obviously not trolls such as yourself, I like how your name is "Tru Gamer" yet you wouldn't know a true game even if Link bitch slapped you with a copy of Skyward Sword.

[Godmars290]

*drops mic/walks away*

[WeAreLegion]

I consider it an improvement on the original Zelda games, to be honest. The writing is phenomenal!

[mydyingparadiselost]

HA! It truly is the PS zelda alternative and does a DAMN good job of it too, such greatness.

[Dante_007]

Yeah He Right Nintendo is Publishing just like mass effect was published by microsoft and where is it today on PSN So yeah back to business Sega Owns Bayonetta Rights And if sega decide hey we are going to port the sequel to sony and Microsoft consoles they can maybe you'll see it as a Digital Title

[RetardedIceCream]

Doubt it since sega and nintendo have a strong bond

[carlus]

i liked the first game! i enjoyed it! :)

[dragon_rocks]

He is a great creator and has created masterpieces in the past but now I think he is losing it and it has gotten to his head. Now all he creates are overstylized, oversexualized and over the top games that are maybe great to play but very few are attracted to them. Bayonetta, Anarchy Reigns, Vanquish etc. were praised by many but failed to attract majority of gamers and hence are seen as commercial failures. Metal Gear Rising was the only game which was in gamers hype because

a) Had Metal Gear franchise name and
b) Fans of NG and DMC series were looking to see what it can give them after the failed NG3 and DmC games.

I played it myself and again it was good in gameplay but had nothing else memorable like locations, enemies, bosses etc. and only serves as a stylish combo galore rather than an overall experience.

If he continue like this then soon he may be added to the same list by many gamers where studios like Ninja Theory are present and people will start to just avoid games connected to his name.

[thomasmiller]

look at street fighter one, it was a terrible game, street fighter 2 is considered one of the greatest, what the first game does or is bad does not mean the second one will be, just a fact.. this game can be the same way... big whiners are just mad because they are not getting it.. get over it! Nintendo is not getting madden this year, and I could give a crap, and couldn't care less.. that's just how it goes.. if it is a great game, then I will be buying it for sure.. RENT BEFORE BUYING as I always say. that will be the test for me!!

[thaimasker]

If we are going through this anything can happen mentality...then why not talk about any 2nd party Sony exclusive on wii u...or hell Uncharted or halo on wii u.

Sure there is a chance bayo 2 could end up on the other systems. 1. Being Nintendo allowing it... and 2. being alot more complicated than that.

[lucidity]

This was obvious from the moment Nintendo signed on as publisher over Sega. People port begging should make peace with where it's landed - buy a Wii U if you're *that* keen to play it. It's not like there aren't going to be good games there (eventually). Or pick it up at the end of the console cycle, when the box is a lower price and you can also score the worthwhile exclusives cheaply as well.

[ThaBlackBaron]

LOL I dont understand for the Life of me Why Ppl are complaining about this being Wii U xclusive! JUST BUY THE DAMN CONSOLE! Its well worth it! and by the time Bayonetta 2 is released there will be a Big library of GREAT Exclusive also available to you!

Fanboys Drones these days are pathetic! U whine about Wii U has No games, The when Wii U gets games u want then yall fools whine about Why is it on Wii U? SMH get yall S***! together!

[Prime_28]

Too many butt hurt fans here, get a job if ya can't afford another console.

[DevilishSix]

As much as I really enjoyed Bayonetta I will not purchase a Wii U to play this game. The developer will find out that B2 is not going to sell on this console.

[Shinox]

The problem is .. Nintendo Hates Sony but Sony Respect Nintendo , Kamiya tells the fans to ask Nintendo but Nintendo refuse to give them any of their games they fund because it would hurt their profits !

Its like an endless circle that will never ends with Nintendo .

[kgamer20]

If Nintendo hates Sony then why does Miyamoto have a PS3?

[Harkins1721]

Nintendo invested in the 2nd game therefore its theirs. I plan to buy a Wii U anyways so im not that upset.

[boing1]

Bayonetta will bomb on Wii U. Hard.

[N4g_null]

Which means you will never see it on any other system afterwards.

[boing1]

You're probably right. It'll still bomb though. Like almost every 3rd party game on Nintendo system.

[mydyingparadiselost]

I'm really lookng forward to Bayonetta 2 and I'm so glad the N funded it since no one else would. I find it odd that so many people say 'N needs games' and when they brings those games people are pissed they're on a N console. Seriously, make up your mind internets!

[WeAreLegion]

I have a Wii U, but I'm not sure I'll pick this up. I LOVED the combat of Bayonetta, but without a good story to keep me there, I found it hard to complete. The same goes for the Ninja Gaiden series. There's simply no story. :/

Why is Kamiya being such a douchebag lately? He never used to act like this.

[PopRocks359]

Well the fans aren't exactly being respectful by whining, complaining and asking him the same tired questions over and over.

[Hozi]

The WiiU actually feels more next Gen to me than the Xbox One.

[vork77]

zelda will always be nintendo

[akaihana86plus]

Lol, awww Kamiya San, you are such a character ♥!!!, this game is gonna be awesome, gamers will support it and have tons of fun playing it, and trolls can go ahead and stick their pride up their ugly arrsses!!! enough said! ;)

[yalltrippin]

it's amazing how many people got on here and bashed or dismissed this game only because its coming to a nintendo console and not your system of choice . we now live in the age where plastic and circuits are worshiped as gods. whats next ,mass suicide rituals to live forever in certain games. some of you guys seriously need help. #way to fuckin serious!

[Welcome2Die]

Bayonetta wasnt even that great to begin with IMO.
If they dont want that game back on the other consoles they are the ones that are gonna suffer with the bad sales. Although I do wish that Konami,and Square Enix had Kamiyas attitude about their games with Sony. (MGSV,FFXV,KH3)

[Wolfbiker]

it seems people are so reluctant to buy a Wii U, they have a lot of great console exclusives both available and coming ( Bayonetta 2, X, Sonic Lost Worlds, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, Wonderful 101, Pikman 3, Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Super Smash Bros., Game & Wario, Nintendoland, Scribblenauts,Windwaker HD, and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem) but even still thats not good enough to drive sales...Im not sure what more Nintendo can do outside of a new Zelda and Metroid to make people want their console more?

maybe when most of those games are released the sales will go up because in my opinion, that is a lot of quality games to be released on a console within the first year or two.
