Bayonetta 2 Coming Exclusively to Wii U

Nintendo is publishing the follow-up to Bayonetta.

Hot on the heels of its Wii U launch announcement, Nintendo revealed that it would be publishing Bayonetta 2. The follow-up to Sega's 2010 action game Bayonetta will be exclusive to the Wii U console.

The publisher didn't reveal any more information about Bayonetta 2, so it's not known when the sequel will actually be available.

Stay tuned for more Wii U launch info and game announcements, as we continue to cover Nintendo's press conference.

Well looks like conformation that Nintendo is not going for the whole exclusively family friendly routine this time around.

 

[Paragon Fury]

I.........wow Nintendo.

Now I have to get a Wii U.

 

[Negatempest]

Good going Nintendo. You just published a game that us gamers believed was canned long ago. Heck yeah!

 

[ToastiestZombie]

INB4 someone gets angry at something they've been asking for for years.

OT: I haven't played the original yet, but still this is awesome news.

And then you go and announce software. Now I'll look like a moron in the last thread >.>

 

[Nickthequick]

I am completely ok with this announcement.

 

[RA92]

Well, some people are going to be miffed.

Not that they have any right to, considering the sequel was cancelled before Ninty came in.

 

[DustyDrB]

Well, that's a surprise. Still, I'm not likely to get it on launch. My game quota for a console is 12. I'd be shocked if it actually gets near that on launch.

What.
WHAT.
FUCKING WHAT

God fucking dammit Nintendo suck a bag of dicks.

EDIT: Explaining my reasons why in post below, calm yourselves.

 

[Sutter Cane]

Well, that tears it.


Not buying Bayonetta 2. Loved the first game sure, but not enough to make me waste $300 on what Nintendo still sadly sees as a worthwhile gimmick. The game lineup still is weak as hell (OOoo the easiest, weakest Monster Hunter title is getting a Wii-U release! /sarcasm). Motion controls still haven't sold me (I just use a classic controller when possible). And wow, 8 gigs of memory...

As for this? No information about the game, or how they are going to jam motion controls and second screen into a hectic hack-and-slash response-heavy game (if it's even going to be that now). I'm thoroughly unimpressed at the moment.

What.
WHAT.
FUCKING WHAT

God fucking dammit Nintendo suck a bag of dicks.

>people hate nintendo for not releasing more hardcore games
>nintendo announces hardcore game for its new console by respected developer
>people hate them for it

What?

Spoiler

If it weren't for Nintendo this wouldn't have even happened, the game was cancelled before Nintendo picked it up again, why the anger?

 

[gigastar]

Being Nintendo its either going to be ruined either by its family-friendly policy or the forced useage of motion controls.

Either way, Nintendo will need to do alot better if they want a purchase from me.

And then you go and announce software. Now I'll look like a moron in the last thread >.>

You and me both. I commented, then watched the live stream where they said that in the span of November March they would release about 50 titles. The second before he said how many titles I was just rolling my eyes at him when he said that Wii U would have the strongest launch library in Nintendo's history.

What?

not trying to stir contention here, but I think it has more to do with the fact that people wanting to play this hardcore game will be forced to purchase the new system from Nintendo of which they have already written off

but I'm guessing that wasn't your point lol so never mind I'll shush

ITs a WiiU exclusive. Thats where the anger is comming from.

Liked the first, but not enough to care about a sequal. So not really bothered on way or the other.

50 titles?! Holy shit!

Granted, a lot of these will be ports from the last gen (360/PS3 titles), but even still. God damn.

It's not Nintendo I hate, it's exclusivity. Very few games honestly "must" be exclusive, most of these ones probably being PC games of some variation. I just dislike the idea of a publisher taking a game that many people know and love and just slapping an exclusivity thing on it.
Plus, it seems like there's fuck all else coming out on Wii-U and while Bayonetta is bloody brilliant it won't be worth getting a Wii-U for.
