A NeoGAF user has asked Sega of America whether the original Bayonetta will be ported to Wii U. A customer support representative replied by saying Bayonetta and its sequel are practically the same game. According to the rep, what differentiates Bayonetta 2 from its predecessor are its two-player mode, Bayonetta’s new hairdo and costume. Read what the rep had to say below:
The second Bayonetta as you well know is being published by Nintendo exclusively for the WiiU. Both games have been developed by Platinum games. That said, the decision on which version to purchase is really up to you. The games are exactly the same except the WiiU version has a two player mode and the Bayonetta character has different hair and her costume is different.
If those additional features are not important to you, then by all means don’t hesitate to pick up the PS3 or Xbox version.
Good Luck and we hope you enjoy whatever version you decide on.
First
Well good luck getting the hardcore on board then if this is true
OFCOURSE IT’S NOT TRUE XDDD
They’re a bunch of shitty mother fuckers.
Dude these are two totally different fucking games dont give me that bullshit,
Must be fun for Platinum games to have SEGA openly announcing this after all the hard work they are putting in Bayo 2. “It’s the same game. All the time they spend in it? Worthless, it’s just a copy. They just doing the same thing but now trying to run it on the Wii U. Waste of time if you ask me. Just buy nr.1 if you want the same full experience and don’t have a Wii U” is what they practically say.
You’d have to be pretty dumb to think this is true. It’s as simple as Sega makes money off of one of the games and not the other.
This. Sega is greedy as hell first they dont publish bayo2 then Nintendo does it and they shit their pants and try to get more money from their published one. I used to respect Sega but they are really out of the touch after they becamed 3rd party.
You’re really going to believe a bunch of nutcases, especially after this incident? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zMt_nnjpuI
It’s just some idiot at Sega customer support who is A) Lazy or B) Butthurt that it’s a Wii U exclusive.
Is….. what?
neogaf….
well
I’m sorry, what?
Is it just a port?
It’s not, we’ve already seen new stuff. This might be just Sega trying to get more of the first game to sell.
No this guy is pulling some bullshit to draw attention away from the game since he works at Sega (Who was the previous the Publisher of Bayonette) Now Nintendo is publishing the sequel he wants it to seem like there not getting anything new even the its completely new game with completly new content
That’s funny. Nice attempt at selling more copies of the first game!
True
Didn’t we already see new gameplay????
How horribly humorous would it be if one of Nintendo’s few hardcore games was just a flop. That’d be awful for them.
Eternal Darkness kinda sorta flopped b
Really alba? U delete my comment that actually has something to do with the article but u don’t delete the fake Why u mad?’s first comment?
I deleted nothing! >___<
You should do it sometimes…
You mad bro? :(
Long time not see you.
I really missed you
OMG! xD
Wow, and they don’t think Call of Duty isn’t?
Someone’s Mad it’s only for the WiiU
Maybe the gameplay is similar but they’re two totally different games.
By this standard, you could substitute any CoD or Mario game for any other.
well actually COD is the same game over and over. I mean each new cod is just a glorified map pack.
The came could be said for Mario.
At least you see changes in Mario games.
No It can’t. Mario has been in a greater variety of genres than any other IP in existence. 2D-Platformers, 3D-Platformers, RPGs, racing/kart, art/music, fighting, sports, and party games. All the games of those different genres can’t be “glorified map pack changes”. Mario has some “rehashes”, but it’s far from a rehash machine like Call of Duty.
That doesn’t make any sense at all.
Aka “We are butthurt to the most extreme amount that Bayonetta 2 is being made even though we didn’t want it to be”
Holy shit XD
So. .. do you want to sell games or……????
He is lying. Nintendo should answer this customer service liar. If Platinum games put a “2” on it, it is a legit sequel.
Is Sega trying to Kill this game so bad? Or is it just a Butthurt fan that is mad because it’s not on other consoles?
*Le Gasp*
Sega is trying to kill Nintendo from the Inside o.o
Meh, it’s just another typical butthurt fan, trying to throw their shit on Wii U.
Pingback: Bayonetta 2 is basically the same game as the first Bayonetta?
is this actually true?? is it………. negaf nerd supposively asked sega of america about bayonetta and is just being a bitch about it being on wii u.
Doubt it. It’s more “sorry, no Bayonetta 1 port for Wii U” in a sense.
Oh Sega…
Sega…the same Sega I know and or is the American branch a bunch of assholes?
I would say the latter. That so-called “rep” from Sega of America needs to be fired.
Lord Regginator will make sure that thing gets fired…
So because Bayonetta 2 is a Wii u excluidive it gets criticized for being the same game and because Halo, God of War, GTA are on Sony and Microsoft that makes it OK.
No, it’s just a CS rep being an idiot like most are.
now youre just blowing shit out of proportion, its just a stupid rep being a clueless rep.
I wonder what Kamiya has to say about this ;)
Stupidest shit I’ve heard today
Aw it’s fun watching dumb dumbs losing their jobs for being stupid.
Even though this is a bit stupid and may be Sega trying to make money on the version they owned.
We should know that this will be even more fuel for hate and trolling on Nintendo.
Even though its not too much… Trolls and haters will find a way
I hope the Segans executes this traitor as soon as possible!
*huge frown with a twinkle in my eye*…harshly and swiftly!!! :p
No no no…
Slowly and painfully…
Making him play the Xbox Done as punishment using Kinect Voice only…
Someone in Sega customer support will be fire.
As funny as it is, i hope this article was not published in this site as it will only discourage people from buying the game UNLESS its really true. =(
No it won’t…
I will buy it and I’m certain that most Nintendo Inglets will too…
We cannot let this Platinum Mercenaries get away from us…
Since B2 isn’t their game why wouldn’t they say shit like that. Sega only makes money off B1. |That customer service rep should be FIRED
Damage control!
lol, wasnt sega the publisher of the first game? of course they say that….thats ultra lame sega and thats why u can keeep your shitty sonic…its the samde game, you know
Looks like someone needs to be fired.
I get the feeling that the Neogaffer was lying through his teeth about this.XD
People here is realy stupid to belive that Sega will bash a game that they will receive money from. Sega will earn money from B2 just from watching.
sega is not making anything off of beyonetta 2
They are retard, bayonneta is Sega IP.
This is obviously not true but the way the article was written might make people think it is.
Funny ! Bc every Sonic is the same game for me…
it cant be, by the look of the E3 trailer it has a completely different story(even if the first story was confusing)
Ooo! A customer support agent said something? Well it must be true.
He’s probably butthurt cause it’s not gonna be on PS3/Xbox. Jesus I hope he gets AIDS.
this is news?
sad sad sad

Do third parties want the Wii U to fail?
Yes, western ones anyway with the Electron Army in the frontier…
I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again
Bayonetta looks a helluva lot better with short hair.
Bayonetta looks like a guy no matter what they do with her hair
Pingback: Bayonetta 1 y 2 son prácticamente lo mismo – SEGA | TierraGamer
That’s good to hear. I love the first game so I’m glad there will be similarities. For those of you that haven’t played the first game, I would recommend you go and buy it.
However, if you don’t have either a PS3 or 360 in order to play it… you fucked up; and missed out on some of the finest games from the last few years.
I facepalmed so hard, I don’t even have a head any more.
I have a very hard time believing that neogaf user is telling the truth. When he asked Nintendo if Bayo1 was coming to Wii U they apparently said to “”Ask Sega, since Sega published it”, rather than their usual line of “We do not comment on rumors or speculation.” Secondly, unless that Sega representative was just extremely misinformed (or just didn’t exist) any idiot can tell Bayo2 is a proper sequel to the original.
“I have a hard time believing that neogaf user is telling the truth”
This was my original response from Nintendo
“Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I apologize for the delayed response. I can see why you want to see Bayonetta appear on one of our systems, and want to assure you that your comments have been documented and made available for other departments here to use as they see fit.
However, since that game is published by Sega of America (an independent company which makes games not only for our systems but for our competitors, too) they make the decision whether to release it for any of our systems. To get their contact information, please visit the following link on our website:
http://www.nintendo.com/corp/licensees_third.jsp
Thank you again for writing.
Sincerely,
Nintendo of America, Inc.”
Basically, ask saga not us.
Neogaf is such a cancerous place, why do they even take comments on there seriously when nothing but shit comes out of them?
What kind of retards do they hire.
Now. now, the customer support did not say that they were both bad. Perhaps what he or she meant was that the core game play might be the same and that both games are great. Bayonetta was pretty awesome, at least to me, so, personally I’m not too worried if the second one will be the same… But Bayonetta 2 could have been promoted a bit more.
1) Sega is NOT trying to milk Bayonetta 1. That game is ancient and they wont’ benefit from any additional sales.
2) Sega likes Nintendo. They kinda LOVE Nintendo! (remember Sonic: Lost World, Yakuza 1+2 HD)
Maybe what they meant was that they don’t be put in the same packaging Bayonetta 1 and 2 are being packaged together for us
