YES HOLY FUCKING SHIT
the SILVER omg
and the new gun what was it was it a Scarborough Fair
it should say what it is on the side of the gun I NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING NOW
It was announced like 3-4 months before the GameCube version even made it out, yeah
great work
I really should buy a mic and start recording some shit with my Cockney accent
Maybe they aren't interested in the other exclusives? Who knows, who cares? The point is maybe just maybe, not everyone is interested in the WiiU? Just a thought.
Shenmue 3 on Nintendo. If this happens I am pretty sure GAF would implode. Like computers actually will be set on fire.

Wow sega having to repeat it more than gaf goddamn
No, it's fortunate that someone stepped up and decided to pick up a dead game. You're just salty that it's not on a console you want.

This, and I think the whole meme that "Nintendo = nostalgia factor" is kind of overblown, and misleading. That's not really the entire point of a Nintendo console, but perhaps it's an easy way for people who don't buy them to rationalize why others do.
Nintendo's said multiple times that their goal with Wii U is to find a balance between mainstream and 'core', or hardcore, or whatever you want to call it, players.
Now, the thing I'm thinking is that they may have a very particular spin on doing that. It's not just about getting the latest COD and Assassin's Creed on Wii U. They seem to be coming out with quite an emphasis on the kinds of games that would have formerly been considered staples of core gamer land - Japanese action and RPG titles, original IP quirky games like Wonderful 101, and perhaps more that we're going to find out about at TGS.
To me this sure looks like Nintendo may have realized there is some dissatisfaction with current gaming on the HD consoles by a particular audience, and may be fishing to see if they get some bites. The interesting part is that the audience they may be going after, if this is true, tend to be the people who are multiplatform players.
I have to wonder if some of the kneejerk negative reactions to this news (aka "The Salt") are predicated on an automatic assumption among such gamers that their pre-destiny was to buy a PS4 and 720, and not anything with Nintendo on it "cuz Nintendo is lame".
It is almost as if the irritation and upset is really directed at the possibility that the new Nintendo console could be a viable contender to sit beside the other next-gen consoles, instead of being that stupid fisher price toy box that those 'manbabbies' buy. Wii U has bee pre-disregarded due to Not Enough Shaders, but if it gets the software people want... well...

Does anyone remember the reactions when alot of wii games saw hd console/psp ports? Dead Space, No More Heroes, Silent Hill etc.
And for Nintendo, it's part of their goal to make those people interested. Thus, they bring out games like this. It starts with "just one", then the amount of games you want keeps going up...it's how business works, and in this particular case, is also the only reason Bayonetta 2 exists.
It wouldn't exist otherwise. Quite an important fact, there.
I'm also a Shenmue fan.
The game never coming out would just be a more unfortunate reality.
Well that's what I'm hoping for anyway. Or a Bayonetta 2 Sigma situation.

People like Bayonetta.
Something, something market perception and dispelling the kiddie console association via Bayonetta 2 and Zombi.
Also don't see the comparison. JRPGs are irrelevant in the US and FF13 didn't come out on the 360 in Japan. Bayonetta was kind of popular in Japan.
If Nintendo actually has funded the development of the game, I'd be amazed if there wasn't more than a publishers right to the game.
You do realize that Nintendo didn't fund Resident Evil 4 though right?

No one really cared about Dead Space for the Wii, and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories was a divisive game anyway (and the PS2/PSP ports are obviously inferior to the Wii version). Dunno about No More Heroes though, but the port came so late I can't imagine a lot of people cared much either way.
I can cherry-pick as well.
People who play Call of Duty a ton are hardcore gamers.
- They buy the new iteration every year in the millions
- They do this because they are happy with the formula
Bonus: Map packs
Yep.
edit: You edited - the point that happy gamers = more money spent is still logically true.
Everyone has bills. If you're that strapped for money that you can't possibly spend a few hundred dollars in six months' time, whether it's a luxury product or not, then perhaps it's a good idea to seek a financial consultant.
Otherwise, you're being a petulant child.

So... What you're saying is that Bayonetta 2 is exclusive to a Nintendo platform because it's being published by Nintendo?

Looks like even Sega is tired of this.
Agreed, Nintendo wasn't lying when they said they were after the enthusiast crowd again. You don't buy Bayonetta and stop there, it doesn't have the power by itself to make much of a difference, but in conjunction with a few other high profile 3rd party exclusives it could be huge. If Nintendo is willing to invest to save Bayonetta and pay for the game to be completed and publish and advertise it themselves then it is hard to imagine that they won't pursue other such deals as well, especially if they aren't so hapless sales wise as Platinums games tend to be. I think Iwata realizes that he won't get equal support from western studios other than Ubisoft, his solution? Aggressively try and corner all of the high profile Japanese core games he can, while taking what he can get from Western developers.
The Atlus's, Nippon Ichi's, SNK's, Platinum's, Marvelous's and other small to mid tier, but talented Japanese devs stand to be left in the dust by skyrocketing next gen costs, enter Nintendo with a jaws of life and an Iron Lung to save them from the rest of the industry. This is likely their reasoning for pushing pubs to revive old IP's too, exclusivity to set them apart.
I think of it like your favorite cookie flavor stops being produced. You're sad. Then you hear that they're making it again! But the only way to get it is to purchase a variety pack of 50 flavors of cookies, 25 of which you hate and 24 of which you're indifferent towards. It's nice that the cookie is back in theory, but all the more frustrating because there's no practical/reasonable way for you to get at it for a decent price.
This doesn't apply to me since I was buying a Wii U anyway, but I can understand the moment of soaring hope followed by crushing defeat when you realize the game's announced... for a platform you have no interest in for the foreseeable future.
The nice thing about this announcement, though, is the indication that Nintendo's taking actual action to bring games to the U that the OG Wii missed out on. Now they just need to moneyhat a Mirror's Edge 2 and I'll love them forever.

No, it's exclusive to a Nintendo platform because Nintendo stole the game, those thieving scoundrels!

Pretty sure it's being ported to pc via GFWL.
I'm disappointed, but I'm part of the problem. I bought the game used
Eh. No use getting mad about used games anymore it is just a sad side effect that will either crash the entire industry, lead to more and more inconvenient pre-order codes, or expedite the process of games being download only (the best option really).
But I fail to see why you are disappointed the game exists. You just aren't willing to purchase it...again.

And I go back to crazy.
If Sony announced Shenmue 3 for Vita, and a price hike for the hardware I'd grumble, but still be "FUCKING SHENMUE 3!!!"
With Nintendo publishing and likely funding development?
It's probably more likely that GTAV is a WiiU timed exclusive than Bayo 2 ending up on competing consoles.
I'd imagine this will be the case for many independent Japanese studios. The Wii U and 3DS may be the last bastion of hope for quirky J-game goodness.
Hoo boy... Shit like this is hilarious coming from people who routinely complain about Live fees....

I think there is truth to this and it will become abundantly more clear as this new generation goes on.
Everyone bought used copies.
I think naturally there's a little bit of that. It would certainly make it easier to justify not getting it. It sure as heck would be easier if only one system existed and everything was on it.
My interest went to zero to on the fence based on this news. However, I'm not excited about the entry fee for another system, and the logistics of fitting it into my living room with my TV inputs maxxed out and space used up already, but there's no way around that. I would still like it to have a little more under the hood to boot though.
Sorry, I can see why you would take it that way. Meant disappointed that I'll have to wait to play it for budget reasons. I think it's a splendid move for Nintendo, and I am so thankful to them for resurrecting it. My interest in the Wii U went from a 3 to about an 8, and I know I'm not the only one.
So my nephew of 8 is a hardcore gamer? haha no just no. Of course there are "hardcore" gamers who buy every iteration, but you have to admit a lot of people who buy CoD are also casual gamers just like the people who like to buy FIFA. It isn't my intention to start another discussion about "what makes you a hardcore/casual gamer" or anything brah, don't get me wrong.
Of course, the formula you put is true, can't argue with that, but my reply was directed at the fact that that commenter wrote it as Nintendo was doing the gaming community a favor by giving them a present because they are the lords of the gaming industry, in the end it's all about the money and not about being the saviour of the gamers.
So, going by these people's logic, some would not even buy the game if it came out on the PS4/Xbox720 because that would require them buying a new console?
I don't understand. This is like saying I wouldn't buy FFX because it would require me to buy a PS2. Series span multiple generations people, get over it.
