SEGA teases Bayonetta + Steam, countdown to April 11

Well, you're both right: ownership of Kazooie, Tooie, Killer Instinct and Blast Corps was split; Rare owned Perfect Dark, Conker and Jet Force Gemini; and Nintendo of course owned the games based on Nintendo properties. Then there's the outlier in the form of Mickey's Speedway, which is Disney's.

Nintendo owned the trademarks for Banjo-Kazooie and Killer Instinct. All other Rare IP was owned by Rare.
Ok fine, I'll spoiler tag it.
We haven't found the other part hidden in the game yet, where it links to the platforms as "exclusively not on Steam"
This is great news.
For me Bayonetta was always the superior game.
In Bayo 2 it felt like most of the game was just one set piece moment after another with very little regular gameplay. In the first game it felt like you had a actual game where you explored stages and fought regular enemies of different sizes and set pieces sprinkled in between to break the game up and add a little variety.
Set pieces don't work if that is all you have, you need to have a actual game first!
Like one or two skateboard levels in Turtles in Time is a nice break from the regular stages in that game, but if over half the stages were skateboard stages it wouldn't be much fun.

You shouldn't. These are official marketing shots.

They did. Nintendo even owned the Banjo-Kazooie trademark (unlike the Bayonetta trademark) and the game code for example. That's why they got so much when they sold Rare; they also sold all of the trademarks and the rights to the games which did not include characters originally created by Nintendo.

Yeah but the IP is distinct from the game code and scenarios. Nintendo didn't own the 007 IP but they still blocked the release of a 360 port because they did own the code/scenario. So my question is who owns the code/scenario of Bayonetta 2?

The "Bayonetta finally comes to PC" may be referencing the character herself coming to PC in the form of 8-bit Bayonetta. I am not saying its not coming to Steam, but I think we should wait for official announcement.
Nintendo owns the code.
It sold decently and it was the best selling version despite being well known to be inferior to the 360 version.

Didn't realize nothing I played in 2 was actual gameplay.
Nintendo as far as we know.
Even taking into consideration that it's SEGA, there's just too many pieces for it to not be happening, between the teasing of consoles to PC ports throughout the past year, the 8-bit game and the countdown in its achievements...That'd be far fetched indeed.. but it's SEGA. Which means: Take extra caution
Baby steps, baby steps...

It's pretty amazing that a thread about Bayonetta finally (potentially, I guess) coming to PC got derailed by Bayonetta 2 port begging. Well no, it's not that amazing because all the previous threads ended up this way too. Bayo2 port begging never got curbed like port begging is supposed to on this forum which is why the absolute crud have come to show their asses.
This is a thread about Bayonetta eventually coming to PC
Now people are arguing wether that will maybe include the second game as well
I don't see the issue
Port-begging =/= discussing the feasibility of a future port
Meanwhile, your whining doesn't add anything to this topic at all.

Well, I hope they have more than just Bayonetta 1 though.
I meant Bayo 2 felt like it had very little actual regular gameplay where you explored stages and fought regular enemies. It felt like fight epic fight boss on a plane to fight epic boss battle in the air without much of a regular stage between.

If this is for real I'm beyond excited. Bayonetta was my favorite of the last generation, finally being able to play it at a locked 60 (not holding my breath for higher refresh rates) would be amazing.
I also haven't played it in ages, so even if I finished it like 10 times back in the day I would totally replay it today.

I don't see how it's that amazing. We don't even have an announcement, this is literally a thread about speculating about Bayonetta on PC; discussing the possibility of a port of either game is not against the rules or anything.
SEGA just posted this on facebook:

I hope too but considering it's SEGA... Even getting Bayo is a good step. It could've been worse... Sonic Boom worse...

lol that's kinda trolly
So you expect a fully optimized port?
They do, they have Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces. :>
Joking aside, I also hope they do have more eventally.
Not sure if the thread title edit was really necessary given that the countdown site really makes it pretty obvous.
I mean, it's just pointing out the joke they already made really. We just noticed it pretty early.
Using the minigame as a teaser for Bayo coming to PC is some really savvy PR work though.

This isn't even 8-bit, srsly SEGA.

It is necessary because of April Fools. If this was another day, I would be 100% on it.
Considering the day, considering SEGA, even them linking to a countdown website through a flash mini game on Steam, we're not out of the trolling territory.
I'd say if the countdown doesn't mysteriously disappear tomorrow, we're good
But then again, never count on Sega.

Its needed because the teaser site could mean anything. Maybe bayonetta anime coming to PC, bayonetta amiibo and stuffs. Remember The World Ends With You countdown site? Everyone thought its a sequel announcement, yet it ended up being a mobile port.

It could mean anything only in a Schrödingerian sense. There's a lot of smoke pointing to this fire.
Wtf does mean anime coming to PC ffs?
why would they tease some toy figure in Steam game.
also lol at mods

It's not an OVA. It's a movie.
But if this is true (which all signs point to), it means that they weren't lieing about PC ports?
