Hmmm... I don't believe on the rumors about Bayonetta 2 getting canceled, too.
But Sawada leaving Sega is getting stronger, since a lot of people are talking about that. It's hard to believe, though, since he was very busy licensing Shining characters, making the new game, etc... it's just weird, but I expect to be true! XDD
I don't know anymore what Shining Blade is supposed to be... whatever it is, I don't care too much, since we already know that Camelot is not involved.
I believe that Nagoshi leaving Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku STUDIO are pretty true! I see no problem/issues on it too. Nagoshi is not my favorite Sega creator, he was never one of my favorites, I just like the way he produces his games. All of them have great contents and quality.
@ROJM: Bayonetta new title is not a sequel?? o.O; I hope they does something about the story. I hate the story of Bayonetta. It just does not makes sense... Kamiya should make something more serious.
