Without Nintendo, Platinum Games wouldn’t have been able to develop Bayonetta 2.

That’s according to executive director Atsushi Inaba, who discussed that Nintendo are the “strong, cooperative partner” that the studio needed to support the project.

“We are not viewing this as a change of platform,” Inaba explained to Polygon. “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.”

“We create the basic framework of our games on the PC, so even though the hardware changes it doesn’t influence the creation of our games. We’ve already developed our own engine to work with multiple platforms.

“Because of the Wii U GamePad, we are putting extra thought into how to use these differentiating features. There’s a difference in the game design side, but we are enjoying the challenges of creating games for new hardware.”
