Much has been made of Bayonetta 2’s Wii U exclusivity. Initially, there was a pretty big uproar from fans who hoped to see it on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well. Things have quieted down somewhat since the original announcement, but we do know that Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya still receives requests through Twitter about a release on other platforms.
During an IGN E3 2013 stage show for Bayonetta 2, it was mentioned how the game will be exclusive to Wii U. Nintendo’s Corey Olcsvary was asked why the Big N felt like they needed to get this game and put it on the console.
Olcsvary responded:
One of the reasons we’re really excited to have this game exclusive to Wii U is, for one thing, we want to have experiences for players of all ranges. …we’ve got games like Mario Kart 8, which are great for everyone. And obviously this game is not quite for everyone, the first game being rated ‘M’ of course.
Absolutely (it’s important to take care of the hardcore fanbase). And those hardcore fans who enjoyed the original Bayonetta, you’re gonna come to find out that they’re pulling no punches in bringing that exact same content back.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Thanks to Sylverstone K for the tip.
Dragon Quest X is no longer just for the Wii U and Wii. During its “Dragon Quest X TV” event a short while ago, Square Enix announced that the online RPG is heading to PC.
All three versions of Dragon Quest X will operate on the same servers. Those who are interested in Dragon Quest X can find a bechmark download here. Sign up for the beta here (Japanese).
Dragon Quest X will be available on PC on September 26. Pricing is set at 3,990 yen.
Below you’ll find some really neat construction shots of Nintendo’s E3 2013 booth. It must have been a huge endeavour to put everything together!
