Bayonetta 2 And The Wonderful 101 To Remain Wii U Exclusives
Anyone who has been following gaming news recently knows about Ubisoft and Rayman Legends. Rayman Legends, which was previously a Wii U exclusive, is now being delayed from the original launch date to be launched in September along with the Playstation and XBox versions of the game. This has many gamers concerned about the fate of other Wii U exclusive titles. Fans of Platinum Games will be pleased to know that Wii U exclusives Bayonetta 2 and The Wonderful 101 will likely remain exclusive to Nintendo’s newest home console. According to a tweet from Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya the games will likely remain Wii U exclusives because Nintendo has funded the development of these games. Kamiya also says that the only way these games would appear on other consoles is if Nintendo wanted the titles to appear on other consoles. Below are the translated versions of Hideki Kamiya’s tweets courtesy of Platinum Games’ JP Kellams.
Translated @pg_kamiya tweet: We are a developer. Nintendo are the ones kind enough to fund and publish our W101 and Bayo 2 projects. (1/2)

Via @pg_kamiya: So if Nintendo says “We are publishing Bayo 2 on PS3/360.” Then it will happen. So please go ask them, not us. (2/2) — JP Kellams (@PG_jp) February 8, 2013
According to JP Kellams this does not mean that gamers should get their hopes up for a multiplatform release because it is very unlikely.
@flavinhaak It’s supposed to mean what it says. If you want a PS3 version ask Nintendo. You might also want to ask for PS3 Zelda.
