Honestly, i want it to do good. But part of me wants it to do bad so they can release it to other consoles... Am I a bad person?

[Tyrath]

Well if it does bad I doubt it will see release on other consoles. Nintendo helped fund it otherwise it would've never even been made. So if it does bad all it'll do is remove the chances of any more sequels.

[Souj]

It's on the WiiU. Of course it's going to do bad :/

Wonderful 101 put up terrible numbers and it looks like a great game. I don't expect Bayo 2 to do a ton better... its like Souj said.

On the other hand, W101 was a completely new IP and very very poorly marketed. Bayo at least has name recognition of a well-regarded last-gen title.
It will still do poorly, but it will sell better than W101.

i think the problem people have is it was a PS3 Xb360 game before but since neither of those companies wanted to do #2 Nintendo stepped in, but instead of people been happy they all moaned about it, people need to put up the money or shut up about "Console exclusives" these days, just be happy a game you liked that didn't do to favorably is getting a round 2 :/

[Tyrath]

Yes, be happy that a game you liked but didn't do favorably is getting a round 2 at the price tag of $300. Wut.

I fully understand why the ps3/xbox fans who had no plans to buy a Wii U are annoyed by it.

i'm not really on about the Wii U itself (i get people who say i don't want to buy a Wii U for 1 game) but i remember Nintendo as a whole getting a rough deal like they stole the IP rights and didn't actually save it :/, Nintendo can't do anything right lately (literally most of the time but this currently isn't one)

[Tyrath]

I understand that too. Nintendo is being a dick by not allowing it to be a multi plat release. I get it from a business standpoint but from a consumer standpoint it sucks.

Rereading this thread from the beginning is freaking hilarious. Nearly everything shitty predicted about the WiiU came to pass.

Having said that, I'll pick up Bayo 2 on my X console when that drops.

I'm so butthurt this is only WiiU

If words could only express this

[Elcura]

Everything about this makes me so happy and so sad at the same time.

FUCK.

I made it four pages. The salt, the tears, the laughter.

PLATINUM GAMES CREATIVE PRODUCER REITERATES WHY BAYONETTA 2 IS EXCLUSIVE TO WII U

Platinum Games’ creative producer JP Kellams has reiterated why Bayonetta 2 is exclusive to the Wii U. In past months, Kellams has spoken publicly about his concerns for the “pedantic port-begging” from fans of the game, admitting that he’s simply fed up with it. But in a conference at UCF’s Center for Emerging Media last week, Kellams finally put the matter to rest.

The creative producer highlights Nintendo’s approach to the game, saying that the publisher was the “white knight” of development. He also remarks that Bayonetta 2 only exists because Platinum really wanted to create the game. The presentation, though a little lengthy, can be watched in its entirety above. However, a few snippets of Kellams speech can be found below

“Without getting into some stuff that is both business and confidential, the simple question I’d like to ask you is, ‘Do you want to play Bayonetta 2?’ Bayonetta 2 would not exist without Nintendo white knighting that project. So while I totally understand that people want to play it on the platforms that they’ve played it on previously, we really wanted to make Bayonetta 2.

“I spend a lot of time on Twitter seeing people get really angry, ‘Why is it not on PS3 and 360?’ Right? So kind of the way it went was, ‘Why do we have to buy a Wii U for one game? Why isn’t it on PS3 or 360?’ And now that the Xbox One and the PS4 are out, it’s ‘Why isn’t it on PS4 or Xbox One?’ So then it’s not about buying a piece of hardware, it’s just that you didn’t want it on the Wii U.

“And that’s cool, I mean maybe that system’s not for you, or maybe that platform isn’t what you want to play games on, but we really want to make Bayonetta 2 and we think it’s going to be a fun game and the people who do play it are going to really enjoy it, and I think that we made the right decision to make sure that game survived. I mean I’d rather be in a world with Bayonetta 2 than without.”

[Souj]

and we think it’s going to be a fun game and the people who do play it are going to really enjoy it,

All 15 people who buy it.

Hell yeah I'm still butthurt. I've understood why they've made it Wii U exclusive from the first day, still doesn't make the disappointment that I won't get to play it go away.

Rip bayonetta 2

[Elcura]

Logic cannot contain rage.

Fuck you Nintendo.

[Deader2818]

I guess it would have been better if Nintendo paid for the game and then let it release on other consoles as well.

They wanted to make a blockbuster that would sell systems for them.
