Oh god the horror, I have no idea how anyone will be able to play a fast paced action game like Bayonetta on that clunky tablet controller. I have no problem with it being on a nintendo console though.

The problem with PC is that there isn't a hardware company who can make exclusive deals like this.

It would be nice if Valve or AMD did something similar and fund a really great AAA PC game,to push steam or sell high end GFX cards

It'll most likely be compatible with the Pro controller, which is pretty much the 360 controller with the PS3's button placements.

Not sure why they would do this when the original wasn't even on the Wii.

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.
The Oddworld series went exclusive for Xbox after Exoddus.

I've never played Bayonetta, but this is an interesting, and potentially good, decision (if there was no chance of it otherwise being published). I like to see healthy competition between the Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony -- it ultimately leads them to give two sods about customers.

I'm too poor/cheap to pay another $50 or whatever to be able to play a single game. However that's more of an issue for me and my wallet rather than Nintendo.

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.
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.
Yes the Wii was a sellout.

But please take in to account the history.

Nintendo failed 2 times to convince the hardcore crowd with N64 and Gamecube and failed in both of these tries. "Hardcore" gamers back then preferred the consoles who had what back then was considered 'casual' features as cd playback with the PS1,and DVD playback with xbox and ps3. Microsoft and SONY clearly added these feature to make people who only wanted cheap music or movie playback devices to buy their consoles. And don't forget that Nintendo is a videogames only company. If Wii didn't had the success it had,perhaps Nintendo would be broke right now. They had to do something to bring them money. Microsoft indeed took huge risks,and while xbox sold more copies than Gamecube,Microsoft was selling the console below produce costs,and lost hundreds of millions of dollars just so to get the user base. Nintendo couldn't do such a thing because they don't sell other things than games to back up their gaming aspect.SONY is a huge company too,they they have their other divisions bringing fresh money all the time. TVs, computer monitors,hifis,dvd players,cd players,mp3 players..
Nintendo is a strictly video game company which means if their consoles doesn't sell,they are in serious trouble.

Well, we haven't actually seen the game in action yet. And, you haven't played with the controller yet. From pretty much every source I've read I've heard it's still a pretty comfortable controller to play with.

An amateur fanboy, as opposed to a proffesional fanboy...? Wut?
If being a fanboy was a profession we'd have quite a few millionaires on this site.

As a PC gamer, I am both bemused and satisfied. Delicious tears, nom nom.

Though it'd be even better if it wasn't a console exclusive at all and everyone could play it.
Yeah I have that same feeling. I'm a PC gamer too, although I did own a Wii when I didn't have money for a PC. I have some weird loyalty to Ninty now, even though I'm probably not going to buy the Wii U I really hope it does well. And I like that they're sticking it to PS3 and 360 users with this game. Always fun to see console gamers do what they complain us PC guys do all the time.

Nintendo are financing and publishing this game after Sega dropped it, and a bunch of other publishers rejected it.

The only reason Bayonetta 2 is alive at all is because of Nintendo.

This is like someone nearly getting run over by a bus, and people complaining that the person who saved their life was dressed in a scruffy suit.

It doesn't matter. Bayonetta 2 is now a reality. How can you ***** at a publisher for financing a game that people were crying out for? It's stuff like this that people mean when they call gamers entitled.
because I'll never get to play it since I'm never getting a Nintendo console unless someone give me it for free which will never happen

Bayonetta 2 WiiU exclusive? Who gives a fuck? Just play the "re-imagined" DMC and pretend your are playing a sexy lady. God of war, DMC, darksiders, bayonetta and Dante's inferno are all exactly the same ... light, light, heavy is the game beating combo and ranged weapons do dick for damage.
they really are not the same. they are the same genre, and share similarities of most games in that genre, but calling them the same is pretty ignorant. it's like saying cod, halo and battlefield are all the same game, when they aren't.

OT: bleh, i just hope this exclusivity doesn't last. i have no intention of buying a WiiU no matter how much i loved the first bayonetta. still, i hope for the franchises' sake it does well.

Well then, that's your own fault, isn't it? Nintendo aren't to blame if you can't be bothered to get over whatever personal bias you have against them.
hmm not my fault either since i really don't care i just don't want to buy a Nintendo console for any reason. well back to ignoring the bs on this site and waiting for someone to post a comment on the persona group page

at this point, I'd like to join in with every one laughing at the but hurt fanboys.

this is good though, Nintendo said the wanted the WiiU to attract more 'core' gamers, and this is the way to do it, they just need to KEEP getting games like this in their line up, which can be tricky

COD is a fast paced, arcady shooter.

Halo is a slower paced game that lets you take a few shots most of the time, more skill based.

Battlefield is all about team work and a higher sense of realism.

now what are the differences between God of war, DMC, darksiders, bayonetta and Dante's inferno? You play a character who sponges damage, wields a weapon or 2 that a normal person couldn't possibly use (due to size or difficulty), has magic powers, fights demons of some description, might as well not have a ranged weapon.

They have different stories but they have to, as much as they have to have different sounds.

With this announcement, and all the great features I've seen announced, I can't wait to give Nintendo my money. The first Bayonetta was the best action game I've played this gen, and I seriously can't wait to get this game in my hands! I hope we get a release date soon....
