I still can't believe she got in.
You're suprised a character from a wii u game that nintendo funded got in?
it's non-canon version of her anyway
IT'S NOT FAIR
I still can't believe there's
ANOTHER FUCKING FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTER
FUCKING SAKURAI
Neither can I, literally only character left I wanted, I can't fucking wait to play her in February.
>>323531151
Me neither
I flipped out when she was revealed
She cheapens the game. So far all third-party chars have been famous gaming icons like Snake, Sonic, Pac-Man, Ryu, Mega Man... etc
>>323533708
The whole deal with Bayonetta 2 being exclusive to the Wii U is pretty relevant to Nintendo's history, in my opinion. And the character herself is pretty iconic, even if the franchise doesn't get huge sales.
>>323533708
>>323531151
I fucking love Bayonetta but still would have preferred Simon Belmont or someone else
>>323531714
this mad
>>323531151
Probably one of the biggest surprises. I don't think anyone realistically saw her being in. But still a fun choice.
>Watch December Direct again
>"It's been almost one year since downloadable fighters became available."
>"Finally...the climax!"
>Bayo reveal follows
I didn't notice that the first time.
>>323534338
fuck that she has not earned a place in gaming history
>>323531471
Considering her game was funded and began production before Smash, it would have made more sense for her to have been in from the beginning.
It literally took topping a player-polled ballot for her to become a reality, don't go around pretending like it was a fucking shoe-in.
>>323534338
besides internet buzz, did Nintendo ever benefit from this? nobody bought the game. Did it even reach 1 million sales yet?
maybe if the IP were a decade old and HUGE, but it was always just a niche title that some people flipped the fuck out about because that small fanbase wanted a sequel and it finally came, but on a Nintendo system instead of any of the consoles that the series started on or their successors.
I still can't believe he got in
>>323542921
The game sold so badly you can still find First Print Editions in the wild on store shelves.
I remember walking into Best Buy, and next to the sparse Wii U rack was 2 piles of games they were clearly having trouble moving. One was Funky Barn, and the other was Bayonetta 2.
>>323542129
The very second the direct began and I noticed the T rating I knew for certain she was in.
>>323543017
Seriously.
I figured there'd be a surprise FF7 game for the WiiU or NX but fucking nothing.
She's a lot better than yet-another-Fire Emblem-character.
Was hoping for a Platinum character to get in and voted for Wonder Red. Bayo's a better choice though, though I'm surprised they didn't make Wonder Red, Blue, and Green Mii costumes.

>>323543243
what's wrong with fire emblem characters?
fire emblem has a lot of characters
>>323543310
muh representation
muh counting lucina as a separate character
>>323543310
>what's wrong with fire emblem characters?
There's a quite a bit of them in this game already.
IT'S
JUST
NOT
FAIR
>>323543150
Just like the surprise MGS game for the Wii when Snake was revealed!
And the surprise SFV port for the Wii U!!!!!!
Fucking retards.
>>323531151
Me neither, OP. It's so awesome!
>>323543480
Those two were on Nintendo consoles though.
Cloud's always had a strong Playstation appearance.
>>323533163
Bayonetta is actually kind of cute.
Too bad she's probably a slut who has fucked hundreds of guys.
>>323534338
>>323534338
This
Nintendo has not had a significant third party exclusive series in a very long time. Having your title exclusive to a Nintendo console used to be a way bigger deal than it is today. I remember when I would see "Only For" on the box art and be assured that I wasn't getting a bad game
>>323543586
canonically a virgin
>>323543586
She's pure like Zero Suit Samus
>>323543552
And yet both of those characters appeared in Smash when their next big game was Playstation only.
>>323543150
>>323543480
>>323543552
Cloud never needed an Nintendo appearance to join in other than negotiations
are Nintendo shits still fussing with this?
reminder the Heihachi costume and his consideration was supposed to fully kill this etiology since Tekken was a Sony game at first
>>323544028
Why didn't they add Toro, the Playstation mascot? He could replace Pichu as the weak shit character.
>>323531151
Crazy isn't it? And here I was expecting her not to get in.
>>323543310
>muh slots
They're mad their shitty irrelevant 90s characters didn't make it in.
>>32354419
>implying they won't throw Kratos in to rep Playstation like in every spinoff they make.
I still can't believe she p-p-pulled out
>>323533708
Bayonetta won the ballot, Sakurai include her because he thought she was iconic, he did it because people wanted her in
>>323544804
Correction: He didn't think she was iconic
>>323542921
It possibly reached 1 million. vgchartz has sales at .90mil and that was before the smash reveal
>>323545158
dumb zerosuitposters
>>323545158
people say Star Fox fans here had it worse with Krystalfags shitposting around in each thread gloating about shit and attracting the /trash/posters in the thread, now they got fully BTFO it's not a big problem anymore.
now Metroid /v/ threads nowadays is nothing but attempted /h/ or shitpost bait and nobody tries to do a non-in general one to part away from the shitposting.
>>323545514
fun and sad fact:one of the ZSSposters is a Krystalfagmake you wonder why Metroid thread are a bit shitpost-y
>>323545657
ZSSposters make me mad because I actually care about Metroid, it being my favorite series, but I also think Samus iscute, but I can't post anythingcutewithout being accused of shitposting.
Come on guys, I already lost Ziggy, let me have my childhood waifu.
>>323546162
I don't understand this. What I mean is why they use a character for shitposting.
>>323546839
It's usually people angry that the Prime games are better, have you noticed threads that only discuss Super and the other sidescrolling games get shitposted less?
