Bayonetta 2 Exclusive On the Wii U

Did you hear? Bayonetta 2 is going to be strictly for the Wii U! What kind of effect will this have on Bayonetta fans? Will this help the Wii U with sales? Read on to find out.

Now they did do this to make the Wii U sell better, obviously, but some of the Bayonetta 2 fans must be very annoyed! The Bayonetta devs even made an apology. I will paste it here, but the original source is at http://platinumgames.com/games/bayonetta/. 

"On September 13, 2012 Bayonetta 2 was announced as an exclusive title under development for the Wii U during the Nintendo Direction presentation held on the same day.

As game developers, we are incredibly excited to be able to announce a new title to all of our fans; however, we are aware that the announcement may have come as a shock to many of you.

As with Bayonetta, Bayonetta 2 is under development and production here at PlatinumGames, and is a true sequel to the acclaimed first game in the series. Bayonetta is one of our most beloved titles, and it played a large part in establishing PlatinumGames as an emerging game studio in the minds of users worldwide. Bayonetta has fans the world over, and we would never dream of alienating them from participating in the future of PlatinumGames.

That being said, the console games market is in a state of upheaval, so establishing a new game franchise requires a considerable amount of will, determination, and love. Bayonetta is a brand that we want to see become stronger, reaching the hands of more and more gamers, so we have continued to consult with SEGA, the previous game’s publisher, on how we can make sure this takes place. Our answer was a new partnership with Nintendo.

Along with their new hardware, Nintendo, as a company, is dedicated to establishing a new future for the games industry, as you can tell by their record of passionate support for gaming. Alongside Nintendo, we hope to grow the Bayonetta brand beyond where it stands today, allowing even more gamers around the world to experience the action of our beloved witch. As developers, we are working hard to make this a reality.

We hope that you will look forward to what we have in store."

So yeah. Sega and Nintendo are at it again, making games together. The apology was very well made though, so I doubt that it will have as much of an effect on Bayonetta fans everywhere. It still kind of sucks that you have to pay about $300 extra just to play Bayonetta 2, but what can you do?

Thank you all for reading and, as always, game on!
