Bayonetta 2 studio, Platinum Games, is aware the game's Wii U exclusivity "may have come as a shock to many of you" says its president and CEO, Tatsuya Minami. But never fear, the follow-up to the marvellously great Bayonetta is going to be treated with respect by the studio irrespective of its platform.Writing about the game, Tatsuya Minami, took great pains to point out that: "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." He went on to say:
"...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."
Ouch. Just like the good old days of SEGA vs Nintendo though.
