Mucha gente está molesta por el trato de exclusividad de Bayonetta 3 para Nintendo Switch, juego desarrollado por Platinun Games. La tercera entrega de la sensual bruja será una suculenta exclusiva que solo los poseedores de Switch podrán disfrutar, y por ello muchos fanáticos se quejan de que el tercer juego, al igual que su predecesor, sea solo para plataformas de Nintendo. Es por ello que Hideki Kamiya explica desde Twitter la exclusividad de Bayonetta 3 para Switch.
Es posible que sea un tema cansino de tratar a diario por parte del creador de la serie, Hideki Kamiya, y derivado de ello decidió explicar la historia de la franquicia de acción frenética y qué ha hecho Bayonetta lo que es haste este punto. Utilizando ni más ni menos, como antes mencionabamos, que desde Twitter, Kamiya ha dejado claras las razones con una » mini-conferencia» de 15 tweets.
Las notas de Kamiya al respecto se pueden leer a continuación, pero, esencialmente, Nintendo es enormemente responsable de la existencia de la serie. A pesar de que Sega sacó la Bayonetta 1, fue Nintendo quien puso el dinero en efectivo para la segunda y tercera secuelas del juego, con Bayonetta 2 enfrentando una cancelación después de que Sega tuvo que retirar sus fondos del proyecto.
La forma más directa de decirlo, cuando sacas del centro el fanboyismo, es simplemente que Nintendo pagó para que los juegos se hagan, y los quieren logicamente exclusivos para sus consolas. Es bastante directo y una decisión comercial poco sorprendente. La franquicia de Bayonetta es muy popular y, por supuesto, apesta cuando el título que deseas no está en «tu» formato de consola, pero desafortunadamente así es como la industria opta por jugar el juego a veces.
I’ve got something I want to tell you all. It’s about Bayonetta 3. (1/15)

For Bayonetta 1, we signed a contract with Sega and received funds from them, then we proposed a design for the game and entered production. All of the rights belong to Sega. (3/15)

At the time, our company had only just been established, and we weren’t properly equipped for multiplatform development, so after discussing with Sega, we decided to develop the game exclusively for Xbox 360. (4/15)

However, after that, one of Sega’s trading partners ended up making a port for PS3, at Sega’s behest. More recently, they also decided that a Steam version should be developed, which was released last year. Sega owns the rights to all of these versions. (5/15)

When we started making Bayonetta 2, we initially received funds from Sega to develop the game for multiple platforms, but the project was halted due to circumstances at Sega. Nintendo then stepped in to continue funding the game, allowing us to finish it. (6/15)

Nintendo was also kind enough to fund a port of Bayo 1 for Wii U, and they even allowed us to use the Japanese voice track we created for the Wii U version in the PC version of Bayo 1 as well. (8/15)
