More Viewtiful Joe please! I need a brand new game, but I'll take a remake or remaster of the original too!
spider-man is disney's IP. you think marvel or disney can choose to port insomniac's game to PC/XBO without sony's agreement? it's the exact same situation here. nintendo licensed the IP from sega (twice) to make their own first party game. it's not up to sega (or PG) where it goes.
there's no mental gymnastics. the situation is very clear and as kamiya has said, asking for bayo 2/3 on other platforms is like asking for mario or zelda. you can do it, but don't expect it to happen. now bayo 4, that's only up to sega as to who makes it or what platform it's released on.
To be fair, it doesn't mean that much considering Shenmue and other cases. I believe the game will still struggle to find a large audience having played the original on Wii U and loving. It's going to take a very open mind for some to get around its control scheme and have it click with them. It's a very love it or hate it kind of game. It doesn't play like any traditional action game on the market other than itself on the Wii U.
It would not be easier. Sega would have almost no say on whether Bayonetta 2 goes multiplatform. This has been explained countless times though, even by Sega and Platinum employees themselves.
Any word if we can expect the other reveals soon? All i want to see is the new IP that Inaba was talking about last year. He said it's ''something that has never been done before''.
You are surely right, but it's great that such a niche game gets a second chance and will be available to a wider audience.
I can see it doing really well on Switch. For PS4? Not so sure. Myself? I'm excited.
Agreed. I'm really happy it was a success and that it can reach more people. And I do really hope it does well too.
some quotes from this interview from last year:
It's most likely going for a 60-70% Switch, 20-30% Steam, and 10% PS4 in terms of sales.
I almost feel like the Diablo Immortal guy with "don't you guys have Switches?"
The port begging for Bayo 2 was annoying back in 2014, but at least that was on the Wii U which clearly limited the audience. Now I'm shocked there are enough people on this whole forum without a Switch to have all come together and produce this amount of whinging about Bayo 3.
I love how this is already tracking to Capcom 5, with a Nintendo exclusive being ported to PlayStation.
You don't want Bayonetta 3 as mobile gacha game, with the sole purpose being seeing the ladies in various states of undress
You are right, I completely forgot about those examples. And you can even add Shenmue 3 to that list. So yea, Vanquish 2 could be one of the announcements.
...yet it happened with TW101. Whatever the case, it's clear that a port is a possibility, and anyone saying otherwise is doing mental gymnastics.
The character Bayonetta seems to have been created for that very purpose, unfortunately.
I am hoping this is a daily thing and a new thing gets revealed at Noon PST every day for four days starting with Wonderful 101 yesterday.
I am expecting it will be weekly on Monday's at that time, partially as there's four weeks in February and spaces out announcements.
I'm fearing if it's monthly or irregular updates with no time frame that are far apart.
I really do wish they'd had put a countdown to the announcement times.

It's like you don't want to read either the Twitter thread from the very man Kamiya himself about this, nor the interview of Inaba and again, the very man Kamiya himself, that cleary said that without Nintendo's okay, there wouldn't have been a kickstartered multi-platform remaster of W101.
Nintendo didn't want Wonderful 101. Nintendo wants Bayonetta. Wonderful 101 didn't bring Nintendo money or prestige. Bayonetta brings them money and prestige. Wonderful 101 was something that Nintendo was willing to give up as a show of good faith in their strong relationship with Platinum and, by Platinum's own admission, it was a one-off. Bayonetta is something that Nintendo is not willing to give up and by Platinum's own admission, Nintendo funded the game and has the last word on every choice with Bayonetta 2 and 3.
Why in the world would Nintendo give up something that they A) want B) attracts users to their system and C) funded themselves?
Uh, yeah, thanks for agreeing with me I guess. Please note I haven't for a second said that Nintendo doesn't have a say, I just said it's an easier prospect because Sega, as holder of the IP, could communicate their interest in a port to Nintendo if the 101 port proves successful.
I'm not agreeing with you. Quite the opposite.
Nintendo actually funding the Switch port of the Bayonetta double pack should show you that no matter who's going to ask them, they won't repeat what's been done with W101. Sega apparently not caring enough for Bayo to let Nintendo again fund another sequel should show you that they're pretty much not going to talk to Nintendo about this. Especially since Nintendo showed them a massive goodwill already by letting them use Mario and the rest of the cast for their Olympic games.
Yep. Can't believe this actually needed to be said at this point.
Again, it's not an easier prospect in any way. Sega holding IP ownership doesn't make it so. If anything, a successful TW101 port makes Nintendo less likely to work with Platinum and Sega on an agreement for Bayonetta 2 / 3 ports.
Weekly makes sense. I don't think it'll be each day though.
Like I've said in another thread, if one of the stars is Bayo 3 news/re-reveal for example (I don't think we should assume it's 4 IPs they own), it'll be at a Direct, with the star and details appearing on their website just afterwards.
Why do you guys just not buy a Switch for playing Bayonetta 3 instead of this port begging of an exclusive game than haven't even launched and that its fully funded by a company that won't let that game appear on other systems that aren't their own? I mean, if you are THIS interested...
The situation would be less painful for you.

I mean, do you really need to ask this lol.
Same happened not only for Bayo 2 but countless games over the ages on multiple platforms.
It's getting a bit pathetic now, so I'll just let y'all sort this amongst yourselves, but the point remains that if PG can arrange with Nintendo a port of TW101, then PG + Sega can arrange with Nintendo a port of a Bayonetta title. Heck, Bayo 1 is getting released on PS4 like next month lol.
Why would Nintendo allow a port of Byo2 when the third game is incoming and exclusive to the switch, it doesn't make any sense
Nintendo has a flagship "adult-oriented" character for the first time ever in Bayonetta. They don't give a shit about The Wonderful 101.
It's not that complicated.
there is zero chance Bayo 2 is coming to other consoles, I can't believe we're still having this discussion
Nintendo has no say whatsoever in Bayonetta 1. That they're porting bayonetta 1 with vanquish instead of 2 on the non-nintendo consoles (as they did on both Wii U and switch) should tell you everything you need to know about how likely the second game coming to the other consoles is.
Nintendo is wayyyy more invested in Bayonetta as a series than they are wonderful 101.
If I want to play Bloodborne I know that I need to get a PS4 or just wait how-many-years Sony wants to publish it on other systems. I don't understand what's the fixation with Bayonetta, when all the people involved in the projects are saying Nintendo has the last word here. They are Nintendo funded tittles that won't see the light on any other platform unless Nintendo wants to...
Nintendo didn't fund Bayonetta at all. That's why you are seeing that game on PS4 and not Bayo 2 or Bayo 3, which are fully developed with the money from Nintendo. Why is this so hard to understand for you?
It's getting a bit pathetic now, I agree on that.
Maybe they can get Breath of the Wild too while they're at it. After all 101 got funded
Given how many updates they intend to provide to the Kickstarter backers during the campaign (3 per week), I'm leaning towards monthly.
I see this has become The Official ResetEra Platinum Port-Begging Thread.
Bayonetta 2 isn't going anywhere.
Wait, it's already out on PS4? I thought the double pack release with Bayo 1 later this month was its first release on PS4.
TW101 was a Nintendo IP, so Mario Odyssey will be ported to PS4 next month.
That's pretty much the last 3 pages.
That's pretty much the last 3 pages.
Seriously hoping something happens, I've played Bayo 2 on Wii U, I wouldn't double dip the switch version but would most certainly buy it again on ps4. I don't know the specifics but if this new funding Platinum has can fund ps4/xb1/pc versions of B3 that would fill me with such joy!
