"This kind of stuff is absolutely disgusting. Speaks oh-so well for gamers in general. Bayonetta 2 was announced as Wii U exclusive today, which sent a ton of gamers into a rage-filled fury. Bashing of Nintendo and Platinum hit hard, with some absolutely vile comments.", writes GoNintendo.

Remember RE4 on PS2? imagine what could have happened if REZero and REmake were ported as well :P
O-T
I really don't know why people love this game so much, it's because DMC sucks now? I don't like the "art-style" of the enemies, it's like DMC on massive drugs or something...
Thing is, Bayo2 was never going to happen because the game didn't sell well on PS360, so maybe Nintendo offered help to PG and Sega that now is reducing its business and focusing on a bunch of games anyway, win-win situation for Nintendo/Sega/PG and gamers that want to play this game.
It's either Bayo2 Wii-U or no Bayo2 at all, take your pick.
Metal Gear started on the MSX. Get your facts straight. The NES "ports" were spinoffs that has nothing to do with Kojima.
Right, be honest now. Would you have that same attitude, had PG said that Bayonetta 2 was releasing on PS4 and Xbox 720, thus also forcing you to buy a $350 + console to play it?
Nobody cried when they were forced to buy a PS3 to play MGS4, Killzone 2 or the following Ratchet and Clank games, or when they were forced to buy a 360 to play Halo 3 & 4, Forza 3 & 4.
Nobody cried when they were forced to buy a Wii to play Mario, Zelda etc
Nobody cried when we were forced to upgrade to PS3/360 to play sequels to all the other PS2/Xbox franchises.
The anger is simply coming from PS3/360 fanboys who more than likely didn't buy Bayonetta or would buy it's sequel. It is simply fanboyism and people being butt hurt.
sort of remind me of MGS4 and the 360 users complaining how that game should come out for 360. MGS2 was on xbox so the idea of a next gen version made sense until it was PS3 only.
Bayonetta was out on ps3/360 so the idea of bayonetta 2 coming made sense. Nope, its now wii-u exclusive. And for all we know it could be a timed exclusive.
People need to relax and take the wait and see approach. It may very well come out later or even a bayonetta 3 for ps4/720
Just wait 6-12 months or buy a WiiU
I will wait
Why get mad at Platinum games? If anything be mad at Sony or MS for not doing what Nintendo did. This game was on the verge of extinction and Nintendo saved it.
People are mad because Nintendo picked up a game for their system as an exclusive? Serious, is this what we have to complain about these days.
Oh internet you so silly!
Bro, the scenario you are presenting is a different one. When a new generation starts all of the franchises make the shift and people buy the new console to enjoy ALL of their favourite franchises in neg-gen iteration and not just one. The old consoles have become outdated and are being abandoned so their is no option but to move on. In the current scenario the PS360 are still current-gen with comparable hardware performance to the WiiU. All the of the franchises still exist on them with multiplatform games existing among the three consoles. Moreover, Bayonetta was never released on the Wii and suddenly making the game exclusive to the WiiU is very shocking for the fans. I will give you an example: What if the next flagship game in the Legend of Zelda series suddenly was announced for PS360 while leaving out the Nintendo console? Does'nt that sounds outrageous to you? It is the same case with Bayonetta.
Yes it does sound outrageous, simply because it would never happen as Nintendo owns the IP.
What's all this fud that WiiU is comparable to PS3/360? We don't even know the CPU clockspeeds, or what the exact GPU is inside the WiiU. So how can gamers be outrage over Bayonetta? Perhaps Bayonetta is a next gen game that the PS3/360 are to weak to run due to the less ram available? If PG had released this on all platforms, people would have still accused them of dumbing down the PS3/360 versions.
You see this is my point, they're damned it they did release it and they are damned if they didn't. They can't win no matter what they did. People are rushing to attack PGs without any knowledge of the reason why they made Bayonetta WiiU exclusive. There is simply no excuse for it.
Nobody cried when they were forced to buy a PS3 in order to play MGS4??????
Where have you been, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth over MGS4 being exclusive. There was a "MGS4 to 360" rumor every month for 3 straight years. They cried to high heavens. Kojima-sama just did not hear their pleas.
-----------
For the One million-th time. If your game kills the enemy with a sword, knife, or hack-n-slash action, your game will sell more on PS3. If your games kills the enemy with a gun or military action, then your game will sell more on X360.
Bayonetta was doomed from the beginning. It was mistakenly designed as an Xbox 360 exclusive, but they didn't sell it to Microsoft as an exclusive; it was down-hill ever since.
It was hack-n-slash game, designed to appeal to people who liked Devil May Cry, that was broken and unplayable on PS3, where all the DMC fans are. On top of that, they refused to cash in on the 360 fanboyism by making it 360 exclusive. The broken, PS3 version still sold more copies than the immaculate, X360 version. Which means that over half the people who bought it got a game that was literally unplayable. Bayonetta crapped on the only market it had. I'm not surprised that Sega cancelled it, they probably saw no place to go with it.
Nintendo saved Bayonetta 2. But Bayonetta has no fans on Nintendo platforms. But maybe the Nintendo faithful will like it.
The fact is Metal Gear started on another platform and was designed by Hideo Kojima in 1987, long before Sony entered into game consoles. What about Final Fantasy?
Unless Platinum announced they were going to make Bayonetta 2 long ago and promised it would continue on the same system then what's there to complain about? This strategy of getting 3rd partry publishers to offer exclusive games, whether it be timed or full exclusive games, has been going on for a long long time. It's about time Nintendo started getting serious about getting consumers interested in 3rd party content.
Just kidding; that's a little unfair to people who made the game great, now will have to invest into another console. BUT all of those people who said "I don't play console loyalty, just games" will now have a chance to prove it by buying a Wii U if they loved Bayonetta.
This was 360 exclusive then ported to the PS3, so this basically screws a lot of people who want to remain loyal to the other two consoles.
then add the fact that most of Bayonetta fans are on a playtation platform
for me the first one was extremely overrated.
they should have seen this coming they mad a lot of people who did love this game mad.
I feel for the fans that bought it on PS3/Xbox 360 though, but hey there are plenty of other good games.
and you are the adult here? That really puts things in perspective here. /s
im going to assume your rant wasn't targeted towards me since like i said i didn't like the game and this news didn't bother me at all.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
It seems a lot of what is in the link though is the same as the video I posted.
Is it safe yet?
*closes door again*
I can't even express how hilarious I find it that "gamers" are this outraged by Nintendo locking down Bayonetta 2 exclusivity, yet they've sold their souls, dropped to their knees and fellated Microsoft for 5+ years.
Awesome.
But this entitlement mentality has got to go. Nobody owe u anything. people don't go into business just to cater to your individual needs. It seems you guys forget the reason why u eve buy the console in the first place.
then add the fact that the first came out on a hardcore console, so most of the fans expect to have sequel on the original console, i am one of them
Just chill out dudes..
"Hey Platinum, I'm happy there is gonna be a Bayonetta 2, but I own a PS3 and 360 and don't wish to purchase a Wii U right now. Is there a chance that this game would come to those platforms in the future because I'd like the option to purchase it for one of those systems. Thanks"
Now isn't that better than:
"FUCK YOU PLATINUM GAMES!!!WII U EXCLUSIVE!!! I FUCKING HATE YOU!!!!I'M NOT FRIENDS WITH YOU ANYMORE!!! GO JUMP OF A CLIFF AND TAKE THE WII U WITH U!!!!"
Please note that these are the same "mature" gamers who want this game to come so badly to their system. Want to prove that you are indeed mature? Then act like a damn adult.
Honestly, I'm so sick of seeing people on gaming sites get on some kind of moral high-horse on basis of someone else's grammar or manners when they're making the simplest of statements. Let me ask you this, if the people in those comments are big babies who don't deserve to have their opinions acknowledged, then what do you call the people who sit around here judging others all day? Mature and dignified? Fuck off.
Have a nice day.
So lets say your mad at your boss for not giving you time off or a raise. Do you go in his office and curse him out? Irrational anger iwritten or otherwise is laughable to most people. You must be a kid like those commenters from the article if you think hate mail is for anyone but the sender. You get to relieve your anger without consequence at a faceless person who resides god knows where. Pointless immature BS from children who threw temper tantrums with their parents to get what they want. Suck it up ladies, unbunch your panties and move on. If you want shit changed it usually requires more than an email or shitty comment .
Everyone just needs to suck it up.
This is a fact of the industry. Shit like this happens. Nintendo saves a franchise that people happened to like and they and the creators are being shit on for it. It goes to show just how spoiled the video game consumer has become.
Anyway who cares, I played the first game but it was too girly for my liking and platinum will shoot themself in the foot with this move. A sequel to a game that didn't sell great on 2 consols announced as an exclusive for a consol that will probably have 1 mil owners when the game releases lol its no wonder so many publishers are struggling right now. Because they make some of the most dumbest moves possible lol.
People are idiots only by doing this kind of things such as boycotting is stupid your just going to hurt the developers and lose money, think their going to be able to continue making games if the game doesn't sell.
People need to support developers rather than system, support the games that developers make not d*** around like "my console is more powerful than yours"
Sadly this is about exploitation of fanbase rather than hardware.
@LX-General-Kaos:
FFS - Could you possibly write a statement that read more like it came directly from Nintendo?!
@Godmars290 If we ignore it it might go away. The stuff reads like it has come from a script than from anything someone would actually say. I am going to start the conspiracy here: clearly a robot:P
Platinum got a publisher on a canned game, this has nothing to do with limited by hardware. It was to be expected that it would cause a division in the fans, some people can't afford to spend $300 on a system.
But alas, they needed something, cause Sega was not going to publish it, so it is much like MGR, without Plat, we would not be getting the game.
However, if the game sells well, we might see it ported to the other systems later. Much like NG with the Sigma games.
@ Godmars290 & iamsuperman
I would not count on that, he has been here for a while... I keep seeing him. I think it is a Nintendo PR guy using a poor guise...
"However, if the game sells well, we might see it ported to the other systems later. Much like NG with the Sigma games."
Most likely not... Apparently, Nintendo is the publisher, so we will not be seeing it on other systems. Sega chose not to publish the sequel, Nintendo stepped in. Although I suppose it is possible that we could see it come out as "Bayonetta Sigma" type of thing (as you pointed out in regard to Ninja Gaiden), it is probably not going to happen. But, who the hell knows. :)
DaThreats made a good point. Bayonetta 2 on the Wii-U may quell the "it is as powerful as PS3/360" rumors everybody is so hell bent believing despite the evidence to the contrary. The real reason why people are so upset because it is the one release game that would make people consider the Wii-U to be a contender for "next-gen".
As DaThreats mentioned, it has already a superior GPU with 1GB RAM, this is a far cry that puts this console over the edge among the PS3/360 allowing for more visual effects/cues that the current-gen console are unable to replicate in a solid 60fps.
Bitches when Nintendo gets a "Grown Up" game
But SHM, shit like this is the reason everyone else sees us gamers as pathetic man-children.
I am happy for Nintendo and Platinum games for this two player co-op joint effort in securing the future of the greatest hack and slash adventure franchise I have ever laid eyes on. More power to them. Exclusively on the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system.
Rated E for Everyone
If Ninty bust out a new F-zero they'll have my attention... Until then, not "wow'd" yet.
>Ninty
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff uuuuuuuu....
I'm actually glad Bayonetta 2 is alive and well. The title being exclusive means to side-development for other platforms which could potentially mean it coming out sooner than it would've otherwise.
I'm getting a Wii U regardless so I'm gonna get to play.
You don't see me crying over Rayman because I liked the first one and it looks like it's only going to be on the Wii U. By the time the rest of the next gen systems come out we will all have our own next gen exclusives to gloat and boast about so why squabble over Bayonetta out of all things? I swear gamers cry at the drop of a hat these days.You act as if Nintendo snagged the greatest game in the universe or something with a hundred million fanbase.
I was going to boycott the new Hitman game because they dropped David Bateson (voice actor), i was livid man, and i made sure people knew that, maybe thats why they hired him again.....because gamers said "hay, this isnt right"
Yeah - I couldn't play it either in case my cootie infection came back.

People are acting like it was the best game of this gen when it bombed in sales and got overrated by reviewers.
But I slightly am.
I know its harnessing "next gen" but its like: couldn't the game go on next gen PS/Xbox IF they are revealed next year too? Cause thats how they're acting.
Taking a game born on PS3/Xbox 360 and then having the sequel on a completely different platform only is... well mixed feelings :/
If true, then Bayonetta 2 apparently wouldn't even exist without Nintendo.
On the other hand, being published by Nintendo on a Nintendo console at the beginning of its lifespan (during which core gamers will be desperate for core experiences) is likely to garner much more interest from people. On PS3/360 it'd sell to people who loved Bayonetta and probably not many others, especially when you consider the competition (including Revengeance, Platinum's own game). On Wii U it has a much better chance of finding a new group of people, while also being readily available to the old fans who invest in the Wii U.
Anyway I'm just glad it's being made, even though it's not on my console of choice, will pick it up for Wii U day one.
Nonetheless, they still should have released it on all 3 current gen consoles. 360/PS3/Wii U.
I personally never liked the crazy amount of cheese that game had anyway despite all the good reviews on the combat etc.
Actually the PS3 versions outsold the 360 version, even being a bad port. These kind of games just sell better on PS.
DMC
Ninja Gaiden
Bayonetta
and many others, just sell better on PS, because that's their audience.
Platinum wanted to make a sequel and someone stepped up to finance it. And instead of a third party like Sega it happened to be Nintendo.
The fact that anyone is attacking Platinum over this is just pathetic.
If this had been announced as a 360 exclusive, or a PS3 exclusive, this wouldn't have been a problem. Hell, if it had been announced as a multi-plat game but on PS4/720, this wouldn't have been a problem. This is only a problem because the little brats complaining are "too cool" to buy a Wii U and now feel they should hold their breath until they get their own way.
Have you been crying during the entire reign of Wii?
you make no sense, if it was a PS3 exclusive Xbox side would be outrageous, if it was a Xbox exclusive ps3 side would be outrageous, the Nintendo side has no right to be outrageous over a game they never got, because their system was inferior!
and of course people wouldn't be mad if it was Multi plat on PS3, X360 or Ps4 and nextbox or pc and whatever else!
That is the whole point!!!
You are just a fanboy in rejoice which won't last for long, because WiiU is already outdated, the same scenario will be played in a couple of years.
I'm my self going to pick up a WiiU, so i'm not against Nintendo or Platinum Games nor Sega because I love them all, but I'm at the same time disappointed that I won't play it on my Playstation or Xbox or whatever other system I would rather play this on!
See, this is the bloody problem. Idiots like this who read things that aren't there and get on their high horse despite knowing absolutely nothing about the other person. How is my comment at all fanboyish? It's the opposite, in fact.
Of course the Xbox side would complain if it had been announced as a PS3 exclusive and vice versa. Would they take to twitter and threaten to hurt themselves and people on the development staff over it? Some of them would, most wouldn't Most would take it as a slight annoyance at best, it's happened more than once this gen.
But you've hit the nail on the head, although given by the way you write I'm guessing you were aiming at something else.
"and of course people wouldn't be mad if it was Multi plat on PS3, X360 or Ps4 and nextbox or pc and whatever else!"
So people wouldn't be mad if it was playable only on the next-gen PlayStation/Xbox consoles? Despite the fact they'd need to pay the price of a console to get it?
So what's the difference, exactly, between that situation and this, except that you'd have to buy a Wii U instead of a PS4/720?
You like something and someone takes it away then you get angry. Is a totally natural reaction and on the spur of the moment it seems even worse.
Who has taken anything away? They've never bought the sequel and had it taken away and nobody is stopping them from buying the sequel. It'll be fully available on a console that will be in decent supply. More than that, nothing is taken away from the original game.
At the end of the day, nobody would have a sequel if not for Nintendo and, if you choose not to buy a Wii U, you STILL won't have a sequel. So what exactly is the problem here?
Oh, right: idiots.
Now, if they want to play the sequel, they will have to buy a brand new system which may not have ANYTHING else they'd want to play on it. That's a far bigger difference than if it had gone exclusive on a current gen console: at least then, there are massive libraries for each of the systems that can help justify a purchase. The Wii U just won't be able to say the same thing.
It's not the same as a multiplat going exclusive, like a lot of people are wanting to say. That situation can have its own drawbacks(see FF XIII), but at least the original fanbase still gets to play the game.
A multiplat going exclusive completely shuts out the fans of one or more systems. It's natural for those fans to be upset. They're getting mad at the wrong people, though.
Sega.
Sega screwed everything up. They had somebody else develop the PS3 version of the game, causing it to suck quite a bit(and even went as far as saying they weren't going to patch it at one point, if I remember correctly), and even decided to drop the sequel.
Well, there's nothing that can really be done, unless Nintendo is feeling generous, but to buy a Wii U. Still, I'm waiting to see more games that tickle my fancy.
That being said, I am honestly really glad to see Nintendo making an effort here to pull in good third party exclusives. Not to downplay the Wii, but I would love to see Nintendo get back in the game and give Sony and Microsoft some real competition.
(Yes, I am aware that the Wii sold like 99 cent golden hot cakes, but you know what I mean.)
Nintendo went on a mission to get the core gamer's back by securing titles like these for "LAUNCH WINDOW". And what is the response, backlash from angry X-bots or Sony Drones. Nintendo did this for you. They are trying to win you guys back, and yet you hate them and Platinum games for making such a move. This proves there is nothing Nintendo can do to win you over. If they don't bring core games (AKA Wii)...they bi+ch,if they do bring core games(Wii-U)...they still bi+ch. Nintendo can't win and its gamer's like this that are destroying gaming as a whole. If they have the games you want guess what, BUY THE SYSTEM !!!! That's the whole point, you buy a console for the games you want. You don't complain that they have games you want. This is by far the worst fanboyism I have ever seen in gaming.
The last time Nintendo got this kind of crap is when Monster Hunter Tri jumped ship from PS3 to Wii....and I thought that was bad, but this, this is just pathetic.
That was just poetry to my ears!! I literally couldn't have said it better myself.
Your comment should be injected directly into those immature crybabies' bloodstream.
I'm all for nintendo gaining hardcore fans and games but not this way. People argued that they want more fresh exclusive IP's not to steal a sequel from 2 million users who supported the first game. Economy is tough these days man and honestly not everyone can be affording a new console to play 1 sequel they enjoyed. And it's kind of a stab to the back to the people who supported the first one and gave platinumgames the recognition they need.
Nintendo needs new IP's to be winning people over to their console not sequels that have been made already on different platforms. These aren't fanboys raging about this but fans of the game and honestly I would be too if I was really hooked onto this game.
Imagine if Gears of war 4 a third party exclusive was being announced only for the PS3. Would the 360 fanboys get ticked off? Of course they will because they support epic. Or finally an announcement of Heavenly sword 2 came out and it was being released exclusively to the 360, would the PS3 fanbase get mad? Of course they will. The point I'm trying to make is Platinum games made the wrong move and they pissed off their fanbase now. Their reputation went down low because of this.
I really want the Wii U to succeed I really do I just feel like they should give us more of their "own" to be winning fans over. Give us a new experience. People are getting tired of zelda and mario. If they had released more IP's similar to the last of us or the WIi zombie U then it would make fans and other platform owners more happy to own the system.
Edit: I read that this game was cancelled by Sega a while ago. And only nintendo took the initiative the bring the game back. I disregard everything I said lol this is nice of nintendo tbh.
Limited Edition too. Hated it; honest to goodness one of the worst gaming experiences I've had this gen. The story/writing/characters were excruciating, the art direction an ugly mish-mash of different styles that didn't coalesce and gameplay that quickly became repetitive, with a emphasis on battles that drew on far too long.
The Wii U can have the sequel! It just gives me less incentive to buy the console.
Bayonetta 2 could be a great game but I'm not interested in buying a WiiU.
They need the cash.
Why do I feel like "hurt" is missing from the end of your name?
God Of War Ascension coming so why fund at best a 1 million seller, hence Nintendo swoops in to pad it's library. Makes perfect sense to me.
Go get some nuts lol.
Be a gamer not an idiot. Bayonetta never even sold that well so what's your issue now?
Thanks for pointing out your insecurities to the rest of us.
second To those at Platuim games we are happy that you found a publisher
to fund your game, wish it were someone who would have kept the game a
multiplat . but good luck on ur new partnership,can you do us other platform
having gamers a favor, can you eliminte the 2 from the name so we don't left out.
When multis go exclusive, shit gets real.
Just another example of the idiots trying to run the asylum.
a fan or consumer. @
