In a shock announcement, the sequel to Platinum Games’ critically acclaimed Bayonetta will be exclusive to Nintendo’s new console.

Nintendo of Europe boss Satoru Shibata introduced the surprise reveal during today’s online press conference, during which the Wii U was given a November 30th release date for Europe and the UK.
