Ownership

So, just to clarify, Bayonetta's a third party, right? Laniv (talk) 17:54, 15 December 2015 (EST)

Yeah, Sega owns the franchise AFAIK. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 17:55, 15 December 2015 (EST)
Definitely. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 17:56, 15 December 2015 (EST)
They own publishing rights. Its technically PlatinumGames's series, however since Sega published the first entry in the series solo, they co own it. Bayonetta 2 is also partially owned by Nintendo due to them funding the second games development.

Yeah she's Sega and Platinum's. Nintendo has some hold over the second Bayonetta game due to them funding it and an agreement with Platinum (which probably resulted in her playable cameo in Wonderful 101), but its still mostly Platinum's.
Here's the basic gist: SEGA owns the IP, Platinum owns the development. AidanzapunkChristmasSig.pngAidan, the Jolly Space WarriorAidanzapunkChristmasSig2.png 10:31, 17 December 2015 (EST)
