Yeah but when you're a big multi-national corporation like Nintendo, your products have to be globalized.
Why not both? The more people that get to play bayo 2 the better. I'd personally take 3 over a 2 port, of course, but a criminally low number of people played 2.

I think Bayonetta 2 will be re-released in some form, but the question will be if it's in its own disc, in a collection of some sort, or a straight-up Virtual Console, digital-only thing.
But yeah, ideally, straight-up making Bayonetta 3 would be a great way to go.
In a perfect world there'd be a "best of PlatinumGames" collection that includes Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 1 and 2, and maaaaybe Starfox (though that one's expendable). That's wishful thinking though.

Verendus may have hinted in that direction but I think that's mostly speculation based on his FF6 comments, and his comments regarding Nintendo getting a SE exclsuive. Maybe someone can clarify on this though.
I wish. Oh how I wish lol.
You're basically assuming Nintendo will not do anything to change their 3rd party connections. Sure, in that case 3rd parties won't be coming back. Hard to argue with that. However, they could do plenty to change their situation. Bigger cuts, better deals, offer adverts... And again, you're the one making the assumptions based on no actual info but what you think you know from Nintendo's history. In case you didn't notice, Nintendo is very aware they need to change something. So that's why i responded. Other posters shouldn't assume too much according to you, but for you, it's ok to make assumptions about stuff nobody knows anything about.
Please, spare me this crap.
You're right on that. This game deserves more sales and more love.
You're referring to this, but Verendus never said those were all Sony. He added the FFVI remake right around the time when others were tweeting rumors about Nintendo just having scooped a crazy exclusive title for NX, btw.
Iwata made it clear before he died that the next console & handheld will be "like brothers", citing iOS as an example. How tied the two devices will be to one-another is the main question. But considering the software droughts that both the Wii U & the 3DS faced, it wouldn't be wise to completely split the libraries of the two devices.

FFVII Remake is never coming to NX b/c Sony is footing a decent chunk of the dev bill, just like w/ SF5.
KH3 could maybe see a port though. Unless NX is severely underpowered (which the rumors don't seem to suggest) there's more reasons it could get one than reason it can't or won't.
Other than Pikmin 4 those are all available on other platforms. So either some of them are gonna have some crazy good system-exclusive features or there isn't going to be a big incentive for those outside of the Nintendo hardcore to jump in at launch.Dont know if this has already been posted, but someone on reddit compiled the rumored games in an image.
Pikmin 4 was confirmed. There was no talk of platforms, but we are sure of the existence of the game, at least.
All that is missing is a racer and sports games.

Unlike SFV, FFVII was never confirmed to be an exclusive, just that it will first debut on PS4.
I don't think Nintendo needs to prioritize something like Monster Hunter for the launch of their home console in the West, but they absolutely do for their handheld in Japan.
Likewise, I don't think Nintendo needs to prioritize western third-party support in Japan or on a handheld, but they absolutely do need to in the West and on a console.

FFVII is only so far confirmed first on PS4 so that doesn't mean its console exclusive like SFV. Unless SE confirms its console exclusive on PS4 then its not out of the question that it could be released for other systems as well.
By the way, has anyone discussed the possibility that these early devkits could be using stock components that are not representative of final hardware?
For example, the Durango prototype devkit had Intel CPUs (dual Xeon I believe) and Nvidia cards. And wasn't a 7950 used as well (possibly for PS4, despite the PS4 GPU being more equivalent to a 7850)? This could explain some of the discrepancy between x86 and ARM rumors.
Edit: This also led to a lot of rumors that the Xbox One would be better than the PS4, before they were revealed.

With the wii U gen alone, nintendo built a ton of NEW bridges with japanese third party by letting them work on their IP. KT and BN are huge buddy buddies with nintendo now. MH did really well on 3DS also, so they're solid w/ capcom as well. SE did well on 3DS also. I fully expect those 4 JP publishers to at least make really solid attempts with nintendo for NX. Hopefully their support also encourages western 3rd party support, but who knows. Ubi adopts any new hardware, period, but if ubi actually puts forth a solid effort instead of throwing their D-teams at the NX, it might pay off this time.
I do not see EA, Bethesda, WB, or 2k/TT getting in on NX until it can prove itself as a viable console to port to. And that's all I ever see from them, ports. I see zero exclusives from those pubs for any reason, ever.
Oh right, lol Capcom, SE, and BandaiNamco got reps in smash bros. Those 3 will 100% be on board w/ NX.
IF doing their own thing wasn't in their culture then Nintendo would have quickly released a new controller for the GC that mimicked the controller standard of MS and Sony. They would have switched to DVDs. And they would have jumped onto online play.
Nintendo does its own thing.
And arguably the Wii U wasn't different enough. And neither was the 3ds. Even the CEO of NIntendo says he thought the Wii U wasn't different enough when it launched.
I don't think Nintendo can win by competing on price/features of the same box. That isn't their strength. And there isn't room for 3 of the same consoles. There is barely room for 2.
And making the same box is no guarantee of making money. Ask Sony last generation. I think they lost billions. ASk MS if they've made a dime overall since they entered the videogame business. I don't think they have.
It's not about having gamers buy the same game twice; it's about introducing her to a new audience. Bayonetta had renewed interest among gamers when she was included in Smash. A Bayonetta 2 port would make total sense for NX.
It would be super amusing if somehow Nintendo ended up with exclusive FF6R, and Sony had exclusive FF7R. What year is it??

Sony also footed the bill for Cloud to be in Smash too. Did you know that?

Also, Cloud is a playable character in SSB, which confirms FFVII.
I'm still waiting for MGSV on Wii U.
It's only a timed Sony-exclusive.

The FFVII talk confuses me. It's a timed exclusive on PS4, we know that much. And it's in chunks. Is the whole trilogy of games being released on PS4 first, then PC/NX as a complete collection, or will each game release first on PS4 then afterwards on other platforms?
Either way, it's pointless speculating this because it's at least a good few years away. If it is coming out for NX as well, it isn't going to be announced until the first game is close to being finished, if not on store shelves. FFXVI is far more likely.

In this list, there are no new games listed from nintendo. Like the next 3D mario (which should already been about 3years or more in development...) there are going to be a few new 1st party titles at least...

Its probably gonna be like the cod DLC
Yes, but xbox has and still we see that ps4 is blowing MS away.
This is a good example of a really important match that is playing now:
Every match thats played, it's always playstation, also at the commercial breaks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9RbxcA0sH8
Same with this video, mostly doesn't have allot to do about the game, but mainstream loves this.
What about MS, Nintendo, they have almost nothing.
So i really hope nintendo bring again some cool commercials again. They need to create the hype like they did on wii, but more like sony does.

This thing has to sell first and a few Japanese games not going to cut it .
When we start hearing rumors of western 3 rd party then i know nintendo on the right rack .

Yeah it's not exclusive. I mean KH3 and FFXV aren't exclusive either.
Isn't Pikmin 4 a new first party game?

Ports... *yawns*... wake me up when they have a brand spanking new actual 3D platforming Mario game and then we'll talk.
Good luck with having that leaked at all
Well, isn't Microsoft low in Europe? Sony seems to own that market although I could see Nintendo fighting for it. To me it seems...
East Asia- Nintendo easily on top. Sony is doing worse than past generations console wise. The Vita is doing fine. MS is well, yeah.
Europe. Sony dominates. Nintendo and MS pick up the scraps.
USA- Sony is winning the consoles. Nintendo is winning the handhelds. MS is doing fine at number 2 in the console race.

The BGE2 rumour is that it will be NX exclusive.

All I want from Nintendo at this point is a powerful system with 1st and 3rd party support. As much as they act like they are not, they are in competition with Sony and Microsoft and have to do better.
Hardcore gamers will flock to Nintendo if they actually deliver the best play experience just like we did with Sony this round.
Give me power and cutting edge like the SNES. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Just make a great video game system.

I have a similar feeling about Nintendo bridging mobile and dedicated gaming platforms.
I think it comes from a few places.
1) Nintendo is all about being creative with old/cheap tech.
2) From the get go, people wished everyone had their own 2nd screen on the Wii U. 1v1 local multiplayer Madden or ZElda 4 Swords etc.
3) I bought Jackbox for the PS4 a few months ago which is a multiplayer party game whose only controller option is smartphones and it works quite well. My mind went right to Nintendo and what if the much better financed Nintendo could utilize this concept and make it work for their games.
That's a bargain. Especially for people who have free time and can crunch through a ton of games and then get rid of it.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Look I get why Nintendo would want to do some ports to fill out the lineup. Plus a port like Smash makes sense as Smash 5 wouldn't be even be close without the port. Plus it's a perfect game that could have a "goty" like rerelease with all of the DLC included.
That being said the idea that Nintendo suddenly needs to port their whole lineup from the Wii U is frick'n stupid.
That would be retarded and would never catch on. The majority of sales still come from physical games, third parties would never agree to a service like that, publishers would be undermining the value of their IPs/games, I could go on.

We will see. I remember LOTR GIF actually came true like a year later or so.
Do kids still ask for consoles for Christmas? I honestly don't know. I feel like they do but I'm pretty out of touch with the 12 and under crowd.
I'm pretty sure they did. I heard few tales from my friends.
Challenge accepted!
It'd get a ton of phone games trying to port over and cash in on some sweet subscription money.
