I can't.Wasn't Bayonetta 2 cancelled a while back?So basically people are raging because Nintendo have stepped in to publish a game that otherwise would probably never be released.Makes no bloody sense to me
It was cancelled? Well then maybe you're right. Maybe Nintendo is the reason the game exists at all.

It was a rumor, but most likely Nintendo did play a big hand on this getting made. Nintendo is publishing after all.

I can understand the rage. I can't think of any franchises that went exclusive in their core line of games after having been multi-platform. It's a win for Nintendo in any case.
Metal Gear Solid did.

You need to think harder boy. :D
And Monster Hunter. Well, it's not been fully confirmed. But Monster Hunter 4 coming to the 3DS and that alone makes me seem like Monster Hunter's a Nintendo exclusive now.

Now that you mention it... didn't MGS technically do it multiple times? The original Metal Gear was on NES after all.

Well it's great that Nintendo are stepping up to publish it when it was going to be cancelled. It's great that Nintendo are really branching out with the games for the WiiU. I may just have to buy one afterall. It sucks that those who wanted the sequel but not a WiiU can't play it, but alas they can't, no need to rage and rage over it like that though.

Also, I love your avatar ToastiestZombie, I can sit and watch it for hours.

Good thing i was planning on getting a WiiU anyway.
I'm on the same boat. Aside from the new Zelda game that is set to released after the WiiU's launch, I'm planning on buying it for Rayman Legends.

Why you ask?

WAT.

A sequel to a game that was exclusive to the 360 and PS3 is going to be exclusive on the Wii U.

Weird. :/

Well that's two games for the Wii U that I want. The first one being Rayman Legends. Again though, I think I'll wait for a price drop, and perhaps some actual disposable income via getting a job.

Sure does echo doesn't it? Tantrums about games being released on other systems doesn't seem to be so exclusive to the PC crowd does it?

Yep, it seems no gaming thing is free from entitled people who think that every game should be released for there console, and if it's released for another one noone can have it.

Whoever rants on this is an amateur fanboy.

Perfect Dark was a Nintendo series and Microsoft secretly bought Rare to fire all of its people,just so they can give the licenses of the studio to some untalented slackers,and thus Perfect Dark Zero was an xbox360 exclusive and a big turd.

Halo was designed to be an Apple Macintosh exclusive,when Apple decided to strengthen its until then week gaming aspect of its computers,and Microsoft suddenly and secretly signed a dirty deal and made it an exclusive for its consoles.

Skyrim,a game of the once exclusive PC series,now have its dlcs having time exclusiveness for xbox360...

SONY doesn't care about exclusives that much,but copies everything Nintendo does. A Mario Kart clone named Crash Bandicoot Kart or something,a Super Smash Bros clone,Wiimote clones,etc...









I can't stand hypocrisy.
It happens all the time,yet when your favorite console publisher signs exclusiveness deals you are all "Oh how great Microsoft and SONY are!!!" and yet when Nintendo does the same thing you say "Oh how dare they do such a thing ? They are evil!!".
Double standards and hypocrisy. I'm disgusted.

That is utterly hilarious. I'm considering this Nintento's "If you can't join 'em, beat 'em" with hardcore gamers.

Oh well, I'm glad that it's at least coming out, even if I won't be able to play it.

I think it comes more from a place of realizing that a long time ago, Nintendo pretty much ignored or only dipped their fingers for hardcore gamers. By far, they went the most cynical, money-hungry root trying to get the jump on casual and family gaming, while Sony and Microsoft tried it all. All of the titles you listed were either regulars or AAA's before they were taken exclusive; what we see here is Nintendo grabbing at recognized action titles because it realizes all the Zelda and My Little Pony isn't good for its image.
