Nintendo Has Removed Bayonetta 2 From Their 2013-2014 Wii U Exclusives Trailer

bayonetta

In a move that has confused many, Nintendo has removed the long-awaited Bayonetta 2 from its 2013-2014 Wii U exclusives trailer. Bayonetta 2 had featured on the previous trailer, but it’s noticeably absent on the current one. Whether we should be worried that the game has slipped remains to be seen, but it’s certainly odd that it’s not been featured.

        1. It could happen, but I doubt that’s why it was removed. It’s very likely going to remain an exclusive for a few years or forever. BUT since it is a SEGA IP, it could still become a multiplatform title in the future (think Mass Effect, Bioshock, Ninja Gaiden, etc.).

          A more likely reason behind the removal of the clip is that the title has been delayed or removed for content.

          I tried to watch the video but for some reason cannot, so I can’t really see for myself.

    1. Yes, it’s nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! first Ubisoft are f@ckers for stating, that there will be no ZombiU sequel (eventhough, there’s a hype of the genre growing on the next gen), now Bayonetta 2 won’t be exclusiv??.. .sowhat now? the Wii U is going to become worse than the Nintendo Game Cube?? since the NGC at least hat better grafix than the PS2…, in this case the Wii U has by far the worst..
      A) they should have brought Galaxy 2 and Zelda SS straight to the WiiU
      B) either make the Wii U as strong as the XO or make that Padscreen a “3D” screen… (just giving giving it a touch screen ain’t anything special today, in the tablet and smart phone era…) and should have realises, that MS and Sony would catch up with the casual fun trend
      C) Nintendo should have payed for ZombiU 2, Rayman exclusivity and keep Bayonneta2…. (even if Wonderfull 101 didn’t sell as they wanted.. but then again, just what did they really expect from that game??)
      D) not bring out games like Pikmin 3, Zelda WW HD, DKCTF (comming soon) nstead fokus on a new Zelda or Mario Kart faster.., besides a modern Metroid (more like ME).., but then again, Miyamoto doen’t play core games, so he has no idea…
      E) … bring out an 100% compatible Wii U2 by the summer 2015 (with a bit over PS4 power), and offer all Wii U users 1 free Wii U2 game for free (via download), to make up to them for buying the Wii U…, or this will become worse than the Game Cube era….. (but exclusives like Mario and Zelda, wont seel near as much, since they’ll look pale in comparsion too the other consoles.. unlike with the NGC, which still looked good for it’s time)
      F) actually, just say you good buy to the Wii U… (at least the 3DS is selling…., if Nintendo thinks it can just depend blindly on Miyamoto all the time, without realising, there other great games and gameplay out there, Nintendo will lose all…, Nintendo has to “catch” up with the trends and not fight such a single battle anymore.. (but sure, keep up some of they’re “oldschool” franchise..)

  1. This is a different trailer as we got the same trailer before with the game

    It can’t be too big of a deal but this MIGHT be worrying

  2. It might be because it contains adult themes not featured in the other games. Nintendo is still the publisher for the game, so it will stay exclusive to the Wii U.

    1. While I agree with your theory more, saying that it will stay a Wii U exclusive because Nintendo is publishing it, isn’t necessarily true.

      I *do* think it will remain an exclusive, but there’s always the chance that SEGA could port it to other systems in coming years after the initial release. They still have control of the IP. Think of how Microsoft originally published Mass Effect, but it was released on PS3 eventually. The same goes for Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. It was originally published by Nintendo in North America, but then was released on other platforms by the owner of the IP, Tecmo Koei.

      As long as the ownership of the IP falls in a third-party’s possession, there’s always a chance of it being a multiplatform title. A chance, but not necessarily a probability.

      1. Hideki Kamiya said it probably won’t happen. He typed a funny tweet to make people shut up about” If you want a PS3 version ask Nintendo. You might also want to ask for PS3 Zelda.” Nintendo is paying for every thing for the game sega wouldn’t be able to release to multiplatforms.

          1. Actually, no, it CAN’T.
            There’s a difference between this and games like Ninja Gaiden: Nintendo is paying for ALL of the development costs, and that’s likely part of a contractual agreement.

            Bayonetta 2 won’t be coming to any other system without Nintendo’s say-so.
            Sequels to it, maybe, but not 2 in and of itself.

            1. It’s a joint publishing partnership between SEGA and Nintendo. SEGA still holds the rights to the IP. It can happen, dude. I have been working in the gaming industry for over four years now studying up quite a bit on these matters.

              As I said, will it happen? Probably not any time soon. CAN happen? Yes. It technically (and legally) can.

              Microsoft funded Mass Effect as well, fanboys swore up and down it would stay a Microsoft exclusive because of that. But look where it ended up: PlayStation. Why? Bioware held the rights to the IP which transferred over to EA once they were acquired by them.

              This is just one of a few examples. Games can be funded and published by one company as a system exclusive and eventually go to another system.

              If Nintendo owned the IP, then I would agree, this game will never go to another system. But they don’t. End of story.

                  1. Sega owns the IP but has no claim to the publishing of the game or any work on Bayonetta 2. That is entirely Nintendo’s, and as was said in the event that Bayonetta 2 ends up getting ported to another system it will be entirely up to Nintendo, not Sega…

                    if Sega wants it to port, they are going to have to rebuild the game ground up or pay Nintendo a heap of cash for their work, but legal things aren’t best area. But yes its kinda possible but its up to sega if they want to put up with this kinda stuff

                  2. Hope they advertise that game, wonderful 101 was amazing and nintendo didn’t spread the word about. I’m not sure if bayonetta had any ads its first go but it did well when launched

                1. It has changed. I started out as a communications tech with an (outsourced) business consolidator. Went into PR. Right now I’m back working as a tech for a different company here, but in-house (IT, networks, setting up and moderating VOIP meetings between companies, etc.). Doing a part time at a retail store too (although that’s not part of the industry thing, I thought I would throw it in there).

                  Throughout that time I have worked freelance journalism, writing, doing photography, and video editing. Right now, I kind of dropped out of the “official” freelancing and started my own indie thing since I didn’t like how that side of the industry was going. I still stay in touch with tons of employees from various gaming companies and we do “business,” but I haven’t been too active recently because of my regular job(s).

                  And if you want to count this *shrug*, it doesn’t really count, but I was a manager at game store for a little bit. I guess if you add that, then it’s 5 years (before everything else). I mean, we did get some info before the public here and there, did have meetings with companies like Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Activision, EA, etc. but nothing too major.

                  Now you know my story. =p

      2. Will of course Simply G it’s Dumbtendo. Too stupid to see how important Bayonnetta 2 IS and won’t do nothing about. At least Xbox took action. Nintendo is like a dumb kid. You can bully it and that child won’t do nothing about it.

  3. They mostlikely took it out because they don’t want the video to be age restricted on youtube since the last Nintendo Minute was because they talked and had footage of ZombiU another game like Bayonetta 2 is rated M

    1. Girl on Girl is exciting to watch for everyone ya ‘ know! Even for me :P If Bayonetta is involved I’m all in!

  4. This is troll bait article. As you can see you can comment as anymous again so there will not be banning or moderation here. This is just spanish trailer and spanish people are stupid just look at alonso etc. Its still in other countries trailers there, but sickr wants more clicks on this article, he doesnt care about moderation and all that stuff. So there you have it. My advice
    1.DO NOT COME BACK TO THIS ARTICLE
    2.DO NOT ARGUE WITH TROLLS
    3.DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO HATERS FANBOYS ETC.
    4.LEAVE MYNINTENDONEWS AND GET YOUR NEWS FROM BEST NINTENDO SITE WIIUDAILY.COM

    1. GoNintedo is a damn good website too. This site is full of shit, absolutely no moderation, comment system is horrendous, full of badly written articles like this, etc.

      1. GoNintendo’s community sucks, though. Extremely bias towards Nintendo, to the point of not admitting when they do something wrong. Also claims for free speech, but have a swear filter. And if you dare to do a silly joke you get permabanned. It’s the most sheltered, kiddie community I ever saw on a Videogame Blog.

  5. Nice try, Ice

    Doubt it means anything, seems more like a regional thing to be honest, but in the end, Nintendo are funding it….that’s the plain fact. Unless Sega struck a deal with Nintendo, and they’re going to publish it instead, which isn’t out of possibility, i’d say it doesn’t mean anything.

    Either way, i don’t fucking care. The game is being made, that’s all that matters, and i’m not attached to a piece of fucking plastic, i’ll buy any console, provided there’s a games on there i want. I mean heck, im buying an Xbox One before i get a PS4, because all the PS4 exclusives are…balls (and no, Uncharted, The Last of Us and God of War can fuck off)

    1. I agree with you. Has long that the wiiu version is not being canceled of any game I don’t care if it goes multiplatform except if it was with a written consent like what tecmo did with ninja gaiden.

  6. Wow most of you kids didn’t even play the first bayonetta lol which sucks that it’s going to be on the baby U its going to sell bad on it because manly games don’t appeal to you ninten kids only stuff like Mario does -_- I wish Sony or m$ would step to pay for it to be on they’re systems so this game can be on those systems where its true potential will really shine, on those we would get massive fan service and blood but on Wii U its going to be a watered down version of the first one. Less blood, less fan service etc wasting this games potential

    1. Less blood?less service? u rather have microsoft a company who gives tow shits for their fans and cares less for the japanese market make bayonetta? Dude this is worst trolling statement ever. Not every nintendo fan own one fucking console most own all three, I own a ps3, pc, 3ds and wii u so don’t call me a bloody fanboy because of my statement. I’ve bayonetta on my ps3 and played it completely. Hideki Kamiya said nintendo is letting do what they want so shut the hell up about nintendo restricting the game. Sony and microsoft had years to offer to make bayonetta but they didn’t because they don’t care for the ip. The game is look good platinum said they aren’t big on game graphics they just want to make games for gameplay, and they have shown that. I agree there are some fans that haven’t played the game and praise it like the sun and rub it faces. You clearly haven’t seen whats been going on with bayonetta

      1. When people say extra stuff that don’t matter lol relax fanboy. Giving my opinion isn’t trolling. You just put words in my mouth for you’re liking. I just rather have the game multi plat and on a stronger system than weak U since no matter which way you put it its going to be restricted in alot of areas. Since the game was originally on 360/ps3 I would like to see it on ps4/XO since that’s where the game will truly shine. don’t tell me (Nintendo bought it bla bla) IDC for that it won’t change my opinion and Don’t like my opinion then fuck off

        1. nintendo probably let it go anyway. their to good for this game.

          #nintendo planning on committing wii u’s suicide. its probably going to other platforms as well so it will actually sell.

        2. Ok it would have been fine if it was multi but nintendo isn’t restricting shit on the game. I’ve seen gameplay and trailers of the game its just as insane as the original. platinum games even said nintendo is letting them do what they want. I didn’t objected to sony and microsoft both getting the game, i’ve only stated my thoughts on microsoft paying for it and said both companies had time to pay for development and they clearly didn’t care for it. ” I wish Sony or m$ would step to pay for it to be on they’re systems” U clearly left it open to make to exclusive on one of there platforms. The wii u has been shown it can perform better then ps3 and 360 when it has been push. I wish bayonetta was on all three so everyone could play the damn game

          1. I made that comment based on the thoughts of wanting it multi plat and I don’t mean restricted in that way I mean if it’s on ps4 it will be a bigger and overall better game due to the power difference in systems not to mention it was originally on ps3/360 so it would make sense. This game just won’t sell good on Wii U and then the fanboys will say “oh platinum games just don’t sell well”

            1. Bayonetta in general has fanbase like pikmin its not a huge fan base. I still want people to enjoy the damn and i do wish it was multi. We haven’t seen that much of the game we have no idea now big the game is. Its up to developers how they push the game its not always the hardware. Look at xenoblade its a huge freakin game with over 100 hours of gameplay. Power doesn’t mean a game will be better, it depends on the devs skill and ideas that make the game well. It was develop on ps3 and 360 but its going to wii u which has a little more beef then the two, at times it done better then the two. Wonderful 101 had many factors on why it didn’t sell like gta lack advertising, reviews(which people should ignore) and lack of over all word about it. Many of my friends like bayonetta and are getting a wii u just to play it. It sucks some fans may be left out but the game will always be around to pick up later down the road. I’ve had many times where i wanted to play a game series i’ve liked but it got switch down the line. I might get a xbone just for kI because i’ve played just about all of them in the series. In the end bayonetta is on wii u because of nintendo, no doubt it may have been bigger on ps4 depending on the devs and i would like everyone to have a chance to play the game.

            2. Ignoring if platinum games sold well on Sony or Microsoft they never would have left. And ignoring that Splinter cell didn’t cell well on neither console but you rather play dumb as if Splinter cell is not the type of game mature like COD.

    2. You haven’t watched the trailers for the game; blood, violence, and innuendo are still strong. She even gets naked during a full demon summon, just like always.
      You’re a fucking moron.

      1. You’re the biggest dumb ass today man I saw all of that there wasnt that much blood and she didnt get full naked and you misinterpreted my definition of “restricted”
        #idiot

        1. Ignoring that if Bayonetta 2 was no longer an exclusive we’d know by now. After all we knew Ray man Legends was going multi plat months before it released.

  7. A bit worrying, but nothing confirmed. All I care is that Bayonetta 2 comes to Wii U in 2014. It is an added bonus that it could be Wii U exclusive. Nintendo needs to sell the console! Exclusives are the wayy to go!

  8. jeez look at all these babies. did mommy make you a new bottle, ok let her pat your back and see if you have to burp and then shecan change yo diapy….. damn we got some cry babies on our hands!! hardly surprised from the laughing stalk of all gaming, the nintendo fanboys.

    this game wouldnt sell anyway it might get the nintengeeks nightmares. so thats why it got delayed so you can maybe grow into pull ups by the time its released or its going to the other systems too like ninja gaiden did, because they know that it wont sell because it isnt for babies.

    we have a broken record for little whinny bitches and it goes to…… hardly surprised *throws cards away* THE NINTENDDDOOOOOOOOOO FAAANBOOOYYSSSSSSS!!! *ninteno fanboys running up to stage with their diapers flying up and down* take your golden whinny bitch award shaped like a diaper…….

    1. Dude ur a broken records-_-. Ur just as bad as the fanboys. Why do u come on this site if there are babies in diapers, kinda of makes it creepy dude. You don’t know anyone on this site in real life so u can’t say crap on people’s true thoughts. The internet is a mask for u and tons of others, acting here is different from out there

      1. no they are acting like babies (hardly surprised, nintendo fanboys wear diapers) just read all these comments, its like they just give more and more reasons to be the laughing stalk in gaming.

        jeez crawl back in your cribs and play mario and cry their. then you guys can be delusional and damage control in your dreams. “trroll bate, eeeehhhhh! why post this eeehhhhhh!!!” *kicking on floor and screaming*….. because its fucking posted at another website.

        1. hey retard ! Just finished Batman Arkham Origins on my Wii U on new game+ best fucking version ever ! And now i’m starting assassins creed 4 !

          What ? you dont have thoses game on Wii U ? … WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM NOOB !!

    2. Boy, you are getting more and more pathetic! And by the way: going multiplatform did help Rayman Legends a lot obviously :D

        1. We are not complaining, I have not seen one complaint

          While the title is kinda a bait title, this article didn’t need to written because its obviously for that reason, Come on Ice what happened ): you used to be constructive and fun to talk to even when u hated Nintendo’s decisions, You really let the fanboys and haters get to you because your slowly becoming one yourself

          Catch yourself before you go too far beyond the line

          Cause I respect you dood, I don’t wanna see you turn man

    3. Ignoring ice boy is calling some one baby but bought NSMBU and Luigi U and not COD or Splinter cell for Wii U though.

  9. I see that Sony and Microsoft fans will now hope that it will go multiplatform yet it will not since it is fully funded by Nintendo and Bayonetta 2 IP is owned by Nintendo while original Bayonetta 1 and Bayonetta IP is owned by Sega.

    Only reason why Bayonetta 2 is not in the trailer is either is delayed or they can’t put it in because they are waiting for a rating, another reason could be to not make trailer PG 18 in south american states, specially brazil.

    1. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

      “Sony and Microsoft fans will now hope that it will go multiplatform”

      Now? They’ve been hoping for this ever since it was announced. Same with all this “Nintendo should go third party crap”, how long have they been barking up that tree?

  10. If I’ve told you once I’ve told you 1000 times.

    DON’T CROSS THE STRE…..er..I meant DON’T FEED THE TROLLS!

      1. Ignoring Pikmin 3 ánd WWHD sales shot up at top ten before. Also ignoring Fanboys also asked for F Zero, Star Fox not just Mario biased boy. But you rather play dumb as if Nintendo fans don’t want a new Star Fox and new IP.

        1. Ignoring that if Bayonnetta 2 went multiplat, Wii U version would be best version like Rayman Legends. But you rather play dumb in wanting to believe PS3 is more powerful than Wii U.

  11. Bayonetta 2 will stay exclusive since Nintendo fully funded the project. Unless Sony or Microsoft are willing to pay for it to be on their systems (an extremely unlikely stretch) it will stay this way.

  12. Lol, People, it’s staying Exclusive, Hideki Kamiya, literally told the whiners to ‘FUCK OFF’
    about the whole exclusivity problem, on his Twitter account.
    The Sony and Micro-boys can keep begging though, it’s funny that they think they’re entitled to everything.

  13. I’m amazed at the fact that some people think that a game published by Nintendo even has the slightest chance of going Multiplat..

  14. Of those games, that has been Xbox exclusives, just later to go as multiplats,
    MS did not fund the project by themselves.
    There might have been some money switching hands. and deals written.
    But as Nintendo is 100% funding this (think thats been confirmed already?),
    there is bigger change of Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall coming to PS4.

    Only thing I’m worried about, Sega will mutilate the 3rd iterations of this game, if it ever sees the sunlight.

  15. Why are so many people hating about multiplatform titles ?
    I mean, I LOVE when a title become multiplatform, is a good thing for EVERYONE ! If I don’t have the money to buy a Wiiu and I have just a PS3, I could buy Bayonetta 2 anyway… so, more cash for Sega, I have a videogame that I want and everyone is happy !

    But many people are just dumb fanboys, right ?
