Bayonetta 2 is third party, or at least partly. It's being developed by Platinum Games. The only reason it's Nintendo exclusive is because Nintendo is the only company willing to publish the game.
Games aren't always strictly third party or first party. In Bayonetta 2's case, the publisher is first party, but the developer is third party.
Also, a Wii U port of Bayonetta 1 comes free with Bayonetta 2, complete with some extra content, so there is really no need to hunt down a 360/PS3 copy (especially the PS3 port, as it runs terribly). That's how I plan to get into the series.
They cater to kids and platformer fanatics with Mario and Donkey Kong and Kirby, etc.
They cater to adventure game fans with the likes of Zelda.
They cater to RPG fans with Pokémon and a bunch of third party RPGs that they get as exclusives, such as Bravery Default.
They cater to the fighting game community with Smash Bros, and also have various muliplatform fighters that have come out recently, like Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Injustice.
They cater to the strategy crowd with Fire Emblem and the upcoming Codename: S.T.E.A.M (the latter also blends the genre with third-person shooters).
They are catering to the online shooter crowd with Splatoon (and due to how refreshing the game is and the family friendly nature of the game, it may draw in a lot of new people into that scene).
Those are just a few examples off the top of my head and keep in mind I have not near played all of the titles available on Wii U and 3DS. But point is, Nintendo are far from not catering to enough people. Most naysayers of Nintendo just hold some sort of bias against them and generally have no really solid reason behind veering away from them.
Not saying they are perfect, but honestly, they deserve much more credit than people give them these days. They're my favourite company right now out of the big 3, by far, and I don't see that changing for a while if E3 is any indication. Nintendo had so much good shit it was unreal, while Sony had only two games that I truly cared about and only ONE actually coming out this year. Microsoft's show was good but it didn't convince me to buy an Xbox One, not even close, it just seemed like it was good for people who owned an Xbox One (or a PC). After E3 though, saying Wii U has no games is just silly.
Regarding Ancel's new game, I don't really care what it comes out for, as I just want to see what he has in store either way.

Yeah. It isn't, mostly because of this:OldClassicGamer said:I wish it was for Wii U

Anyway, more information from the conference itself:
- the open world might potentially be as big as Europe
- new stuff is there every time you play, possibly even on the same spot
- there's a seamless online system, perhaps in the same context as Journey's seamless multiplayer?
- dynamic weather and seasons
If anyone wants to see Michel and his pretty beard:

Most of these I agree with EXCEPT the fighting community. Yes we got Tekken Tag 2, which was fairly new, but not exactly, it came out in 2012 I believe, or 2013. We're going to be missing out on ANY future Street Fighter installements (Hell, we missed out on Ultra Street Fighter IV which would have been a perfect opportunity).
Yes Nintendo has variety, but they need more of that variety, like I said we're missing out on 4 great titles now.

But Smash Bros has it's own scene that's been growing exponentially over the last few years and Nintendo have really been turning a new leaf by directly supporting the Smash Bros tournament scene (last year, they tried to shut down the EVO Melee tournament - this year, they sponsored it). It's understandable that Nintendo doesn't really want to be too heavy on other fighting games since they have their own one to promote right now, and it's a competitor to other fighting games not just in sales, but in how the tournament community receives it. That's why fighting games are not getting much love on Wii U right now, because Smash Bros.
I think they have more than enough variety, I hold that concern more for Microsoft and Sony right now way more than I do for Nintendo.
