Sure, but then again, if SEGA never funded and published the first one or struck a deal with Platinum Games the franchise wouldn't exist at all. As you can see, after they left SEGA their original IP creation dropped quite a bit. One of the reasons they signed the contract with SEGA was because they allowed them to do what they want. Its great that Nintendo published a sequel, but lets not get ahead of ourselves, they did it to bring diversity to their platform. They know they have a hardcore Japanese fanbase and wanted those people to buy a Wii U. I don't mind, I own one. My comment was only that all the Nintendo fans that made a huge deal about Bayonetta 2, most of them are doing it because it was a Wii U exclusive and it goes with their fanboyism.
