Bayonetta 2 is coming to Wii U in October (with the original version tossed in as a bonus), but this might not be the last time we'll see the franchise.

Talking with CVGPlatinum Games game director Yusuke Hashimoto, admited he hopes for a third time round with the action witch:

"Should the opportunity arise I'd definitely like to keep nurturing this franchise," he said. "It might not be me [directing], but should somebody else take over I would definitely be there to support and help just as [Hideki] Kamiya has for me. Though there's a chance I could direct in future as well!"

But would Nintendo keep playing a big role on the third game?

"In terms of nurturing the content of this game, there's a lot that we learned from Nintendo and if possible we would love to do it again and keep nurturing our child."
