Bayonetta 2 wouldn’t “exist” without Nintendo, says dev

Quote :

Speaking with Polygon at TGS 2012, Inab said Nintendo was exactly the strong publishing partner the developer was looking for to get the game made.

“Would Bayonetta 2 not exist without Nintendo? The answer is yes,” said Inaba, Platinum’s executive director. “We are not viewing this as a change of platform, we were looking for a partner to create Bayonetta 2 and Nintendo was a strong, cooperative partner that was willing to create and grow Bayonetta 2 together.

There has been rumors floating around that no other game publisher wanted to greenlight Bayonetta 2.

Old news is old.
