      In the case of Bayonetta, it works out beautifully. Sega recently talked about how they were pulling back on everything except Sonic, Aliens and Total War, but with Nintendo publishing this, it can get funded.
      
      I'm all for bizarre fast frantic action, especially if they can get the creative spark going, and not have to worry about porting issues. They're working with Mari Shimazaki again, and many of the head production team worked on the first title.
      
      It's crazy, but I'm willing to get a Wii U for this one game. I probably dumped over 120 hours into the original; the combination of Bayo as a character, along with the fast control scheme that's easily memorizable, and the zany torture attacks, makes it a really fun game to replay.
