Welp, at least now they know we want Bayonetta 1. :lol

Yes.
Doesn't mean I can't wish for it though. I don't think I'd want anyone but Sakurai to continue that series.

Starfox Platinum...
Ah, okay. Cheers for that. That means that Sega would need to do that themselves and release the game as a budget eShop title. I can't see Sega being stupid enough to release itaas a full price retail title when it can be picked up on other platforms for a fiver.

It costs 19.99 on PSN and xbox live
and 17.99 on amazon
You're nuts if you think you'd get it for any less than that. Porting games is cheap but it's not free and if they're going to spend money to bring the game to a new platform the consumer is going to have to pay for that.

Honestly it's more reasonable than the people expecting Bayonetta 1 to be handed out for free with their new games like it's an AOL disc.
and waaaaay more exciting than that too

After the clarified statement I think I'm gonna go with Bayonetta 1 port now. Maybe Ninty published.

Acquired by Nintendo, Vanquish 2 exclusive to WiiU.
Sold! All of my money goes to this.

If its Bayo 1 on Wii U, Im chucking the 360. Its literally why I have it.
It's going to happen eventually and I'm afraid you're just going to have to live with that.

The most altruistic reason would be so that Platinum still exist in three years.

I have a Wii U and I have no issues with Nintendo, I just think it's stupid to want a great independent developer to get bought out. They have a great reputation, why deny them the opportunity to work with different partners?
Another Kojima collaboration would be awesome, they have enough teams to be able to have multiple partners at the same time. I really hope they keep going in this direction instead of becoming tied down to a single platform.

too logical for the rest of us
but this announcement could potentially be unrelated to 101 and that's where people are speculating Bayo port.
I think it could happen but I also think it'd be like 20-30 dollars digital.
because they used "announcement" and not "reveal" I'm thinking it's Bayo 2 or something else unrelated, but it was in the 101 blog so it's probably something we don't know about 101 and we're all being silly.
I would eat shit for the rest of my life if that meant I'd get to play Vanquish 2.

Im sure they are looking forward to being under the direct control of a studio, that worked out great last time for them.
Oh my. I hope for your sake todays announcement is a disappointing one!
Kamiya: Do you eat shit?
Pikma: Yes, while playing Vanquish 2.
Imagine that, it would be totally worth it.
Who knows, could be something as simple as a demo going up (I'd take it!) right after the stream.
Could be a Smash tie in, could be Bayonetta related if it's not part of the stream I guess but I think it's most likely going to be 101 related. And to the people thinking it's going to be about Okami or Viewtiful Joe.... You do realize those are Capcom franchises right?
I'm glad that the Nintendo crowd is hyped for 101 but please take off the fanboy goggles and put down the Kool-Aid, it's getting a bit ridiculous.
Nintendo buys Platinum, Rising 2 exclusive to Wii U, Viewtiful Joe Trilogy U, Okami 2 U and the real DMC 2 COOL 4 U announced confirmed!

Probably slightly more appealing than looking for new jobs. Their games don't exactly burn up the sales charts, you know.

Beyonetta 2 now multiplat. Thanks to Sega.

Id be fine with them being bought IF Ninty let them basically just keep pumping out games.

As if Nintendo is like Capcom
It's all good, I'm just having fun too
Only thing that legit annoys me are the people calling for Platinum to get bought out. It does look like Nintendo is a great partner right now and that's awesome but things change and I don't want them to be tied down again after leaving Capcom for that very reason.
Sega fans wanted Sega to buy Platinum after the 4 game deal was made, great move that would have been.... It's cool that Sega gave them a chance to make new IP but it would have been disastrous in the long run if they had bought them.
Anyway, back to being hyped for this Nintendo Direct! I'm not sure I'm going to watch the new footage but I want to see what this announcement is!
Are we sure it's Nintendo-related news? They wouldn't put Xbox or PS news right after an ND would they?
It would be very bad manners to take Nintendo's thunder, that's all I can think of.

Well, they still mentioned the announcement in the context of their Nintendo Direct blog post, so it seems likely. But nothing absolutely says it has to be, I guess.

Wonderful 101 going multiplatform was my first intuition when I read the title. But that would heavily harm WiiU version sales, so I guess not.
100% this, and its disgusting tbh
Not going to happen, Nintendo is publishing.
People are probably making way too big of a deal out of this, I'm sure it's Nintendo related considering they will do the announcement right after the direct but I wouldn't expect something GIGANTIC.
I'm still thinking it might be a stealth demo release which would be awesome!

It would be funny if the Platinum announcement and the announcement Cory Barlog hinted at are the same one.
Amazon are useless for decent pricing for video games, as are any digital distribution channel such a Live, PSN and even Steam compared to shopping around at retail unless they have special deals going on.
To be fair I was confusing the lowest used price (£4.99) with the lowest retail price (£11.99) but that's still a great deal cheaper than the prices you've listed.
You've got to remember that it cost Ubisoft just 1m to port Assassin's Creed III to the Wii U and that involves the costs of bringing the game to retail such as the Blu-Rays, pressing said Blu-Rays, packaging and distribution. An eShop exclusive title doesn't involve these costs. Bayonetta 1 released for £9.99 would sell an absolute shitload and make Sega a decent amount of profit with very little effort or expense, particularly if the first game uses Havok and Autodesk middleware.

Announcing W101 going multiplatorm just after a ND focused on it and a few weeks before its release on Wii U would be even a worse decision than what Capcom did with Resident evil 5, let alone the IP is owned by Nintendo for all I know.
