The reason why Bayonetta 2 was released exclusively on the Wii U was because, after the release of the first game in PS3 and Xbox 360, publisher Sega began having economic difficulties and was forced to drop several announcements like Bayonetta 2. After analyzing the situation, Nintendo themselves approached developers PlatinumGames and told them about publishing Bayonetta 2 exclusively on the Wii U after Sega's decision. In other words, Bayonetta 2 wouldn't have existed without Nintendo's involvement.
