Bayonetta 2 has been announced as a Wii U exclusive! Platinum Games will be developing and Nintendo has become the sequel?s publisher. Bayonetta 2 will be produced by Atsushi Inaba, directed by Yusuke Hashimoto, and the world, story & characters are supervised by Hideki Kamiya.
Why is it a Wii U exclusive? After the first Bayonetta game?s Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 release back in 2010, Sega didn?t want to publish the series anymore, so it?s likely that Nintendo saved the sequel by paying the development costs in exchange for exclusivity. Fans of the original have in some cases been dismayed by the sudden Wii U exclusivity, but frankly that?s ungrateful, since without Nintendo there would not be a sequel and in effect further possible future Bayonetta games.
Platinum Games released a statement explaining the Wii U exclusivity to fans.
To quote Platinum Games president Tatsuya Minami:
?On September 13, 2012 Bayonetta 2 was announced as an exclusive title under development for the Wii U during the Nintendo Direction presentation held on the same day. As game developers, we are incredibly excited to be able to announce a new title to all of our fans; however, we are aware that the announcement may have come as a shock to many of you.
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. Bayonetta is one of our most beloved titles, and it played a large part in establishing PlatinumGames as an emerging game studio in the minds of users worldwide. Bayonetta has fans the world over, and we would never dream of alienating them from participating in the future of PlatinumGames.
That being said, 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.
Along with their new hardware, Nintendo, as a company, is dedicated to establishing a new future for the games industry, as you can tell by their record of passionate support for gaming. Alongside Nintendo, we hope to grow the Bayonetta brand beyond where it stands today, allowing even more gamers around the world to experience the action of our beloved witch. As developers, we are working hard to make this a reality. ? We hope that you will look forward to what we have in store.?

Yusuke Hashimoto, the Bayonetta 2 director, adds:
?Everyone on our talented team is united around the core of Bayonetta, Climax Action, in an effort push the series forward. For empowering our heroine with incredible new action to introducing new characters (which you may have noticed in the teaser trailer), Bayonetta will further expand on the mythology of the Trinity of Realities ? Inferno, Paradiso, and our human world.?
