Bayonetta 2 [WiiU] review

[Guts]

EDGE has given Bayonetta 2 a score of 10/10.

[Brad]

Think they gave the original a perfect too. Nice!

How does it feel with the WiiU pad? And yes, what's the first game like? I never finished it on 360 but I want to.

I hated it when I played the demo at MCM last year.

Definitely need a Pro Controller.

It's bloody criminal that this isn't on PS4/XB1

Ha! Nintendo knew how to extract money from my wallet. Have owned a Wii U for a year now and used to maybe three times but soon it will all fit together and Bayo 2 will be mine.

[boxhead]

Gawsh! 10 out of 10 from edge? That's very exciting news for me.

The wii has had some epic exclusives so far and this just tops it off. I wonder if it'll head to the ps3 at any point?

[speedlolita]

It was published by Nintendo.

NINTENDO. lol

I was playfully rising to Fuse's bait (see last sentence of original post). Anyway I can see myself getting a WiiU at some point for this.

For those port begging in the hope that bayonetta 2 will come on xbone/ps4 how about you hear it from Kamiya's mouth himself, should pretty much put this topic to rest.

Good. Hopefully they can put their efforts to better use and persuade Sega to let them do Vanquish 2 for next gen consoles.

[speedlolita]

Still need to play Vanquish. Plan to after I finish DmC.

Means nothing . Shinji said RE4 was only on the Cube and over his dead body would it come on other systems , in the end it came to the PS2 .

Port beggars gonna beg.

Difference here is that Nintendo are the publishers and we all know what they're like.

We'll see though.

TA - your head is in the sand son.
Speedy - get on Vanquish ASAP!

Means nothing to me mate . I got a Wii U and not the biggest fan of Bayonttea . Only to say SEGA hold the IP rights and with the game bombing I can see SEGA selling off the IP to Platium and Nintendo isn't going to fund another Bayonetta game so Platinum would take it to various 3rd parties

[Neon Ignition]

The way Kamiya describes it it sounds like they already farmed it to 3rd parties and no-one was interested except Nintendo. Let's be honest, if Sega thought there was money in it they wouldn't have axed it the first time. I can completely see why no publisher would want to take on a port of a commercially unsuccessful sequel to an effectively abandoned ip in an effectively defunct genre. Don't get me wrong, it's a shame, but the franchise isn't worth their effort. If Platinum ever got the rights wholesale they'd probably be better off trying to reuse the engine to crowdsource a final third game.
