Lady Lilith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 http://segabits.com/blog/2012/09/13/bayonetta-2-announced-for-wii-u/ Nintendo (not SEGA) will be publishing Bayonetta 2, which was just announced exclusively for the Wii U. This time it appears that Kamiya will not be in the director’s chair, presumably because he’s been busy with Platinum’s other Wii U exclusive, P-100, which has now been named The Wonderful 101. No other details were given at Nintendo’s conference this morning aside from a small teaser with no gameplay footage, but more will be sure to come. Update: SEGA has just spoken out about this announcement on Twitter, replying that they will be working with both Nintendo and Platinum Games as an “advisor” to the project. In light of this, I’m re-branding this post as SEGA news, as it looks like SEGA is still involved in some capacity. That said, it’s fairly clear that Bayonetta 2 is really Platinum and Nintendo’s show. This more than anything seems to signal the end of SEGA and Platinum Games’ partnership. What do you think about SEGA letting one of their most iconic characters and franchises of this console generation slip away? Or are you just too excited about Bayonetta 2 to care? Hopefully the latter, we need games like this to sell. Damn, might have to get a Wii U now...was hoping it would be on PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggie_Pie Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 i never understood why they would make a sequel on another system.... its kinda cute to see Nintendo try to catch up on the rest of the world graphically now that Sony and Microsoft has announced that they are working on their next gen consoles... the Wii didn't leave a lasting impression on me so i will probably wait to see what the WiiU has to offer before i even make a comment on getting one... anyway... i guess after you sell the rights you don't really care who makes it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemisthemp Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 @Piggie-pie because Bayonetta wasn't that good. Points to broken Difficulty, so better dropping a sequel on a New System and blame it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudyMemory2 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Interesting idea - piss off most of your fansbase by releasing an originally multi-platform game exclusively on a new, entirely different console. Wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittens Are Awesome Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Sega is shooting themselves in the foot on this one. I never played the first one but I know somebody who's pretty pissed. Sega could do just fine if they had it on multiple platforms. They didn't need to go exclusive.

Kittens Are Awesome Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Edit: Sega sold the rights to Nintendo. I only saw a screen capture of the chat conversation with Sega so I cannot provide a link. Knowing Nintendo and their primary target audience, they will dumb it down and tone it down. For those looking forward to it...I wouldn't jump the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonDip Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Are you freaking kidding me?! Ahh, what a huge let down; I think I just died a little inside. ToT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Helper Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hm... That kinda sucks. Sega, Nintendo, whatever!? They just pretty much "killed" off their whole fan base by releasing it on a different platform. It's not like they're moving up to next-gen but simply switching over to the WiiU. That's like releasing God of War: Ascension on the DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifayrie Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I saw this video earlier, and it made my face sad I know loads of people didn't like the first one, but I loved it at the time, disappointed u_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The first was one of my favourite games for the PS3. This news makes me very sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rngesus37 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I never played the first one since it's gimped on the PS3 so I don't really care. Not interested in the Wii U til I see HD Zelda and true HD Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
