The executive director at Platinum Games, Atsushi Inaba, has explained that without Nintendo’s help, Bayonetta 2 would not exist.

“Nintendo.. [is] a key partner in getting the game made. We were looking for a partner to create Bayonetta 2 and Nintendo was a strong, cooperative partner that was willing to create and grow Bayonetta 2 together [with us]. As a result the platform became the Wii U.”
