Nintendo switch thread for mental patients

[westical]

I don't even know what Bayonetta is.

[Rorschach]

Yep, I reckon when it does come to the true next gen consoles Jasper needs to pack up shop and sell crazy elsewhere.

[Jasper]

In your wet gooey dreams......

Nintendo will have an exclusive deal for 12 or 24 months or some shit then bang! Sega bring Bayonetta 2 to 720/PS4...

[Candy Arse]

I'm inclined to agree with Jasper here. Can anyone run through what it would take for Bayonetta 2 to appear on other consoles since Nintendo are publishing?

That aside I don't think it'll appear anywhere else because it'll bomb no matter what. In this case it's just going to bomb on Wii U.

[Cletus]

So a sequel to a niche game that most hardcore gamers like me have never heard of won't be available on 360, is that what you're telling me?

[Jasper]

Nintendo will have an exclusive deal for 12 or 24 months or some shit then bang! Sega bring Bayonetta 2 to 720/PS4...

Yes, BANG! A game Nintendo paid money to have developed, all of a sudden on a Sony and/or Microsoft console.

But why are Sega working with Nintendon't to publish it?

Sega aren't working with Nintendo to publish it. You're in denial, stop it!


Bayonetta 2 PR -

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.

Sega published Bayonetta, Nintendo are publishing Bayonetta 2. Even SEGA tweeted multiple times, they are not publishing the game, Nintendo is, and that therefore, Bayonetta 2 is exclusive to Nintendo Wii U.

[GreyWizzard]

So she'll collect coins from boxes instead of rings?

[guttermouth]

Seriously...

You fuckers are so damn brutal on Nintendo

Nah, you are just so far up Nintendo's arse its not funny

There wouldn't even be a video game industry if it weren't for Nintendo, who's innovations are what made people want to play games.

What a wank, further proof to my first comment...

[westical]

Didn't Microsoft publish Ninja Gaiden 2?

Why is Sega's name on the fucking picture you fucken muppet!

[Jasper]

How lacking in common sense can you truly be....

Nintendo are paying for the development and are PUBLISHING Bayonetta 2, whilst Sega is acting as merely an "advisor" (Sega's very own words).

Sega no longer has the publishing rights, Nintendo does!

Really, if you want to spend the rest of your life jacking off at the idea at seeing Bayonetta 2 on a console other than Wii U, then go right ahead...

[Candy Arse]

Didn't Microsoft publish Ninja Gaiden 2?

Yes, and the original come to think of it. Didn't stop Ninja Gaiden Sigma and NGS2 being released on PS3.

Safe to say then that Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive, but we'll still see an enhanced version released on next-gen platforms.

[Jasper]

What a bunch of saps!

Nintendo who have said Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive must be wrong.

Sega who have said Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive must be wrong.

Platinum Games who have said Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive must be wrong.

They're all wrong, and the Games Ranch Sisterhood of Bitterness & Tears obviously must be right!

If you want to delude yourselves into thinking that Nintendo would actually pay money towards the development of a videogame to be released on Sony/Microsoft hardware, go right ahead. You're simply setting yourselves up for a massive disappointment.

[Candy Arse]

I'm buying it on Wii U so no problems here. I'll also buy the enhanced version on a next-gen platform. Unbiased 4 the win.

Remember when Ninja Gaiden was said to be Xbox Exclusive because it was published by Microsoft?

Remember when Bioshock was never coming to PS3 yet was being worked on and tested at the same time as the 360 version while publishers and devs all said "No, it's 360 only".

Remember when Rugby League was PS2 Exclusive?

Remember when the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection didn't come out on Wii?

Remember when GTA Vice City and San Andreas were PS2 Exclusive?

Remember when Trials Evolution was Exclusive to 360 because it was published by Microsoft?

Remember when Metal Gear Solid: Groud Zeros was never announced for the Wii U

Whenever a game is exclusive Socco, no one will tell you that it is a timed exclusive. It's exclusive, it's only coming out on one console. Until the contract is up.

When Bayonetta 2 appears on another platform in a years time you'll just pedal backwards and say "Enjoy your year old port", something which you'll be enjoying over Christmas. Ports, years of them.


Speaking of rip offs......

Captain Falcon's Twister Race

Looks like a rip off of that Sega game on Gamecube.

Donkey Kong's Crash Course

Looks like a rip off of Mr Do's Castle

Metroid Blast

Looks like a rip off of Segas Outrigger.

I'm going to guess it's too early for there to be news regarding the availability of Nintendo Land outside the premium bundle, but it seems likely to go down the same road as Wii Play and end up bundled with the GamePad once it's made available. I'd prefer the white console but I think if I bite I'll grab the black for the game. There are a couple of bits and bobs coming up for the eStore but it looks like the next retail release on my radar after launch will be Pikmin 3 next year.

Nano Assault Neo looks like SuperStardust with a few tweaks. Is made by the same team that did those other "Nano" games? Nano Stream on DS I think it was called etc? Definitely taking a lot of cues from Housemarque though.. unless it is Housemarque then that just makes sense why it looks so similar.

Yeah it's the same team that made Nanostray etc. Visually it looks like a bit of a Stardust/Mario Galaxy mashup with the odd-shaped planetoids. Worth having a look IMO, you only need to change the formula to a game like that a little to make the overall game play quite differently. I still fire up Stardust every now and then but games last too long which puts me off chasing highscores. If this plays out in shorter bursts I could see it being a fun alternative, and it should be a good title for transferring to the GamePad.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Bayonetta 2 reaction was more like "good work Nintendo on getting a cool game like that" than the slagging off from Nintendo fanboys to other console owners and death threats from Sony/M$ to Platinum Games.

[Madmya]

It was never going to get a good reaction. Wii owners don't play games or don't play it specifically and Bayonetta has a hardcore cult following. This is a kick in the nuts to them.

[flipswitch]

I don't even know what Bayonetta is.

It's that game with the ladyboy in it.

[PhoneMonkey]

Can't believe some of you are buying into this shit. I look forward to the inevitable buyer's remorse threads.
