It's understandable to voice your concerns about this game being exclusive, but these people are just retarded.
"who think that Nintendo 'only cares about the casuals' to see that the publisher is making a real effort to broaden their appeal. "
if they are going to falsely think that you cant help them
just like you cant help the people thinking this is nintendos "fault" when in reality they saved the game after sega dumped it

Listen, people. SEGA dropped the ball on this one and Nintendo stepped in. SEGA has been doing this lately. VC2 and VC3 on PSP? That sure made the PS3 people unhappy. Platinum wanted to do this game, and Nintendo was the company that gave them the green light. Of course it's exclusive, it's Nintendo's money. Don't throw the hate down on Platinum. They didn't sell out or try to screw all you 360/PS3 only owners. Sometimes in game development you have to do what the money says. Hopefully, the money doesn't compromise your vision of your game.
Full Disclosure: I just preordered my WiiU and and I have a PS3 that I played Bayonetta on, so I'm good.

While I wouldn't give out Death Threats, I am majorly disappointed by this.
I don't have a Wii. I don't want a WiiU. Nintendo franchises do not interest me. However, I loved Bayonetta.
I also don't have the expendable income to buy a new console just for one console.
I feel excluded from the cool Bayonetta 2 party despite being a huge player at the last one

Dear god, this is almost as bad as the people who flipped out about MGS: Rising. I'm buying a Wii-U on day one but even if I wasn't I wouldn't flip out. Like Holmes said, we're lucky this game is even getting a sequel at all.
It's pretty interesting to peek into the minds of video game "fans".

@Scrustle - I'm not seeing the problem with Holmes post, unless you unlike the light of reason amidst the unreasonable.
So I woke up this morning and saw the one about the day being ruined 5 minutes in. And honestly that MADE my day.
That one in particular is just the most defeatist of the bunch that it really gave me a good giggle. 5 minutes out of bed, this person finds out that a sequel to a game that they cherished was saved from the brink of cancellation. It ruins their day. It ruins their day because a game that doesn't exist yet, is coming out on a console that also doesn't exist yet.
God, when a Mario game comes out on a "REAL" console, just think how many days that will ruin.

I think people are just angry that there is a much desired game exclusive to a platform that they didn't intend to buy. There is no denying Nintendo's long history of family friendly games at the cost of more "mature" titles. While the level and tone of outrage is a little childish, any concerns that Nintendo will launch the platform with a nice offering of AAA titles then regress into their old ways of family friendly 1st party games are entirely reasonable. They did a similar thing with the Wii. Anyone remember Red Steel?
I for one think this was a great move for Nintendo. I was going to get a wii u anyway, so this makes me glad.
I hate that people post shit without doing a little reading and understanding the facts of things. SEGA didn't wanna make it. It looks like it wasn't gonna get made period if Nintendo didn't step in. I never played the first one and I still took time to figure that out.
"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."

It's hardly the light of reason, more the light of common sense. It's barely that, it's just "look at the stupid people saying stupid things". We get it.

Wait people think majority fans are disappointed because they don't want Nintendo have non casual games. Wow totally missing point but this is the Internet a few comments like these eclipse everything.
It also goes to show you how quickly people will write off a consol that isn't even out yet because it has "Nintendo" on it.
Ahahahaha, brilliant.
Might see if we can make Bayonetta 2 trend worldwide with Wii U owners from around the world hugging and crying tears of joy that it's out over the corpses of the suicided. Fun times.

Seems like none of this idiots realizae that sega canceled the game. And that the only reason it will ever be released is because Nintendo decided to fund it and act as publisher.
It's not like platinum said "hey, let's stop developing bayonetta 2 for Ps3 and 360 and let's make it a WiiU exclusive, that will be fun".
It was canceled game that would still be canceled if it wasn't for Nintendo, because no one (including the ultra mega real hardcore for hairy men Sony and Microsoft) wanted to invest in it

Well, looking at those twitter profile pictures, it's pretty evident that they've never experienced the passing of a console generation. To them "a classic retro game from their childhood" would be Perfect Dark Zero, so it's natural that this change is pretty frightening to them.
If this becomes a new trend for Nintendo, where they reach out and publish beloved games that don't have a chance to be published elsewhere, all for the sake of diversifying their audience and trying to win back the hardcore gamer, then great!
Unfortunately, this really does feel a bit like extortion. It feels like they are publishing one game that the hardcore gamers love to try and swindle them into buying a wii U, only to turn around and revert back to the same company that refuses to sell Mother 3, Xenoblade, The last story, etc. because those games aren't wii fit.
I am definitely glad that Bayonetta is getting a sequel, I will definitely play it eventually, and I really hope nintendo changes and they can actually work well with 3rd parties, I'm just not getting my hopes up.

If you believe your life is not worth about $400 that it would approximately costcto play Bayonetta 2, then yes, by all means, pull the trigger. You are probably right.
My advice is to pick your two favorite consoles (or just all three if you're so lucky), and enjoy them. My guess is that these gamers had already chosen their two (MS and Sony) and thus are angry that Nintendo is becoming a viable 3rd option.
I have no problem with Nintendo getting M-rated 3rd-party exclusives. I totally have a problem with them getting a much-beloved sequel to a game that was previously not even on a Nintendo console. Bayonetta 2 would make me happy as hell if it were multiplat like the first. I have no intention of buying a Wii U and this is disappointng to me as a fan of the first that the only way I'll be able to play this is on Wii U.
If it were multi-console and on Wii U, that'd be totally fine. But I have the original on 360, I want the sequel on 360, or at least the next-gen systems. The exclusivity argument isn't strictly relegated to Wii U; had the game been announced as PS3 exclusive or 360 exclusive fans would be upset (though perhaps fewer of them, given the install base). With the first game on 360 and PS3, that's where fans were hoping/expecting the next title would be. Is it any surprise that people who do not own/have no interest in owning a Nintendo console are upset that a game they want is now exclusive to the machine they don't own?
And again, Bayonetta never came out for the Wii, and while the Wii/Nintendo could certainly use more titles in the M arena, slapping exclusivity on something that was never exclusive before does feel a bit like a slap in the face.
By extension, Anarchy Reigns is pitched as something of a pseudo-continuation of MadWorld. While MadWorld is excellent, and has a smaller install base than Bayonetta, were there not upset fans that the Wii wouldn't get Anarchy Reigns? I understand why games are exclusive and it seems pretty clear to me that the game probably wouldn't see the light of day without Nintendo bankrolling it, but I had this hope, perhaps born of idiocy, that I might be able to play the sequel on the systems I own, and on the same systems that the first game was such a success on.
But that's just my piece, and I'm just a fanboy/consolefag/obvious anti-Nintendo asshole.

Which is, of course, why they agreed to have it exclusively on a brand new console that none of the fans of Bayonetta have. That's not alienating fans at all!

Personally I wasn't planning on buying a WiiU, I wanted the WiiU to flop and for Nintendo to become a software developer ala Sega, but I've gotta give it to them. They've made me interested in the WiiU now.
I knew I wanted to play Rayman Legends, some new mario and a future smash bros, I just would like to know there's definitely going to be good first and third party games besides what we already know about.
And I'm definitely gonna feel burned by Platinum if I see this on PS4 or Xbox Advertisement Sphere 2 as Bayonetta 2 REAL NAUGHTY edition...

If you are not willing to buy a Wii U to play Bayonetta 2, you obviously don't want to play it badly enough.
You know you're going to have to buy a new console eventually to play the latest games right? I think that's been established over the past 30 years.

@Scrustle - Unfortunately for you, your fellow gamers made it newsworthy with all their drama. You know, like when PS3 gamers had this reaction over FFXIII and DMC going multiplatform.
It just turns out Twitter was less of a thing back then, now we can rub it in their faces.

It does suck that they have done this, I can understand why and it's basically giving into Nintendo's demands I imagine. Multiplat is fine, and P101 is fine for WiiU exclusivity. But Bayo1 on 360, Ps3 then Bayo2 on WiiU is a bit of a jump and unfortunately despite being a big fan of Platinum (Well their games anyway, the way the do business and the way their staff conduct themselves is another matter) I won't be able to play this as I just can't afford a WiiU right now.
Nintendo likely believes this will win the WiiU with the hardcore, I imagine this will boost sales a little but Nintendo is going to have to do a lot more and I personally feel this was a bad choice cause it's pissed a fair few off as well. If this had been a brand Zelda or Mario (Even if just a trailer) and especially a underused property like F-Zero, Metroid or Star Fox I imagine that would of helped a lot more than this. A port of Bayo1 for WiiU wouldn't of gone amiss either but will we see how it plays out.

Good ro see some rationality. Please, kill yourself. This world needs less idiots, since we've gone out our way to stop natural selection and protect morons from themselves.
I'll eventually get a Wii U, probably when the next Zelda rolls around, and will definitely pick up Bayo 2 with it. The original was pretty much the best action game ever in terms of pure gameplay.
The only annoying thing about this is that Sega forced Platinum into this position. Props to Nintendo for keeping the franchise going, even if it slightly annoys me that it won't be multiplatform.

When people say there going to kill themselves like that they need some help, I'm sure these people are exaggerating, but that's really extreme. Ending your life because of a video game would be terrible. I feel bad for these people it seems that they live terribly unhappy lives that they feel the need to shout about killing themselves because a sequel to a game they like was announced for a system they don't want. Just think about that for a moment, I know we see exaggeration like this everywhere on the internet, but people don't just talk about killing themselves like that unless they're terribly unhappy.
"I'm not replaying the original again in protest."
ROFLcakes. OMFG. That one is my favorite. Who does he think cares? I'm beginning to believe Twitter was developed as a brilliant psychological tool with the primary purpose of getting people to broadcast documentable proof that they're dumb, 24-7.
Runner up favorite - "Today has been ruined."

@Lord of the Thunder: Google image search and having an extensive background in pop culture makes for some rich finds.
Dont be upset with the devs, be upset with Sega for not wanting to make this a multiplatform game.
Also, what's with Dtoid cherry-picking idiotic comments so much lately.

I'm not sold on the Wii U yet. What they are showing lately has me interested, and it looks pretty good, but nothing so far has convinced me to pull the trigger.
At first i was going to buy the WiiU just because of the USB hardrive tidbit.
Now? I'm going to buy the WiiU and a copy of bayonetta, a game i have never played, just on the off chance that my purchase will make one of these wastes of life off themselves.
these next couple of years will be interesting with the big N making moves and doing things.

I don't know, man. I do think it's shitty; it's a pretty popular game. It's almost like saying to a big Marvel fan that the next <insert Marvel superhero> movie is only coming out in theaters in Kazakhstan. I only played the demo for the original and have no particular attachment for the franchise but it HAS to sting. Complaining about it seems reasonable, just not to the extent of the hyperbole Holmes just posted.
