Am I the only one who thought he was caught climbing through a window or climbing out of a nearby sewer access?

Sneaking in just to [laughs] at them

[E-phonk]

A study as small as sora can not make a game like Smash themselves. They need more people working on the project. If I remember well a lot of GameArts developers worked in the Wii Smash Bros Game beacuse Miyamoto recommended that studio.

People from Project Sora, Paon, HAL, GameArts and Monolith worked on smash according to wikipedia.

[Nocturnowl]

Am I the only one who thought he was caught climbing through a window or climbing out of a nearby sewer access?

For some reason my first thought was of him crawling past a reception desk dressed in black

[RurouniZel]

I'm down for a Nintendo / Platinum Games collaboration. :D

[Hot Coldman]

Seeing as Sakurai is a gigantic fanboy of NeoGAF proportions, we all know nothing secret is going on here. :(

[Neon_Icarus]

Doesn't it make more sense that Kamiya has been working on Bayo 2, and it got canceled?

Now that Sega has allegedly dropped the title, it would make a lot of sense for Nintendo to swoop in and make it a Wii U exclusive.

In any case, whether it be Bayonetta or Star Fox, I'm in...(though this whole thing is probably just Sakurai being Sakurai).

[PK Gaming]

Let's just drop all the pretenses already.

I'm in a dream. This is me dreaming right now...

If PG does end up making a StarFox game for the Wii U... FUCK.

[Bill Rizer]

Vanquish intro scene alone, with the huge space battleships attacking, make me literally pray for a Nintendo-Platinum StarFox game.

[MisterHero]

I don't want Starfox to be super-hardcore like old bullet hell games.

I actually 100%'d Starfox 64 ;_;

[sixteen-bit]

I don't want Starfox to be super-hardcore like old bullet hell games. I actually 100%'d Starfox 64 ;_;

When has PG ever made and old bullet hell game?

that Bayonetta demake is a hoax.

[Galang]

Don't want to get my hopes up, but if it results in PGs making a new Starfox... oh man, too good to be true.

[MisterHero]

When has PG ever made and old bullet hell game? that Bayonetta demake is a hoax.

No, I just said that I don't want Starfox to be like that. Somehow whenever I hear people say "Make it like Sin & Punishment or Kid Icarus!" they want it to be as hard and as frenetic.

Platinum are good devs but I don't think they share the approach to accessibility that Nintendo has. Maybe I'm wrong though, seeing as maybe I might play their games on Wii U.

[Omegasquash]

I'd be OK with whatever they come up with...pretty good track record from both parties, commitment to quality is there....

Yep, I'd like to see whatever comes out of this.

[TreIII]

I don't usually do this, but irrational exuberance is fun so let's go crazy with this. Kamiya, a man whose resume includes: Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and Bayonetta is working on Star Fox. Retro Studios is working on something awesome. EAD Tokyo is working on a new 3D Mario. And the brunt of EAD Kyoto is working on Miyamoto's new IP and Pikmin 3. How does that sound Nintendo fans?

As I said in the other Star Fox topic...

...even if a new game wasn't the "HD update to Star Fox 64" (which would be my first want), I would be interested in seeing what Retro, or even Kamiya and P* could do, if they were given the green light to make another "Adventures/Assault" Star Fox game. Especially Kamiya, though. That guy has proven time and time again that he could probably make such a game that does the rail shooter aspects of Star Fox justice, while injecting an action-adventure element that wouldn't be such a "throw-away" either. If such a thing was the "something wonderful" Kamiya was working on, I wouldn't mind at all...

[sixteen-bit]

Good point. I suppose they could do an Easy Automatic deal like Bayonetta, but that's all hypothetical.

[ShockingAlberto]

Which, in all likelihood, is nothing.

[Retro_]

Much much much rather Platinum than Retro.

Star Fox 64 is my favorite Nintendo game. A PG developed successor directed by Kamiya who has alot of respect and passion for the title would be a dream pairing.

and likely it will remain as such since this is probably nothing.


Already got them making a Cyborg Ninja metal gear game can't have everything

[Omegasquash]

Which, in all likelihood, is nothing.

I should amend my statement, then...

I'd be OK with it if something came out of this. Probably pretty pleased with the result.

[Retro_]

Oh yeah

Sakurai doesn't even work at Nintendo

Sora Ltd is freelance is it not?

[Hypertrooper]

I love Kamiya's response to a tweet:

He's not Nintendo staff, is he? RT @U_Nintendo Did Sora_Sakurai aim you yesterday with a gun for you to develop Star Fox?

https://twitter.com/#!/PG_kamiya/sta...76700186705921

Otherwise it broke my heart because I eagerly waiting for a new Star Fox.

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Now that Sega has allegedly dropped the title, it would make a lot of sense for Nintendo to swoop in and make it a Wii U exclusive.

First Nintendo needs to buy Bayonetta from SEGA. Also no one knows if there ever was a bayo2.

Already got them making a Cyborg Ninja metal gear game can't have everything

Yeah, but what is Kamiya doing? I mean beside twitter.

[D_prOdigy]

Oh yeah Sakurai doesn't even work at Nintendo Sora Ltd is freelance is it not?

No it's not.

EDIT: Yes it is. I got confused.

But the implication that Sakurai will go 'third party' with anything any time soon is less likely than a Nintendo/Platinum partnership.

[Neiteio]

Sakurai's rule of third party Smash characters: They have to have appeared on a Nintendo system. Of Platinum's main characters, only Jack applies.

Ah yes, and at one time it was reasonable to think only Nintendo characters would appear in Smash. Point being, things change. But yeah, I don't think Sakurai's appearance at Platinum Games is about anything in particular, though certainly it would be nice if Nintendo and Platinum collaborated on something... like, oh, my dream Sheik spin-off game that fused MGS steath, Prince of Persia platforming and Bayonetta combat. <3

[.la1n]

Would prefer Kamiya not use his talents for an on rails shooter.

[iirate]

Not even... They are making Metroid Prime IV as a collaboration project between them and Retro. *mind explodes*

Let them do the next metroid :)

I love Platinum and I love Metroid, but I'm not sure if I want this.

Either way, I would flip my shit if we got a Platinum-made Star Fox, F-Zero, or even Kirby!

[SykoTech]

Star Fox Wii U

I'd be okay with this....because it would mean Retro would be doing something else.

[Andrex]

"I want Nintendo's staff to come to Platinum, stick guns at us and tell us 'You guys make a new Star Fox'," stated Kamiya after learning that Nintendo developer Shigeru Miyamoto has expressed a desire for a brand new Star Fox title.

Does this mean he doesn't or does want to make it?

[Wiz]

Recruiting for Smash Bros most likely.

[witchedwiz]

Bayonetta 2 uncancelled and now Wii U exclusive confirmed.

Wii u dayone for me

[Criminal Upper]

Would prefer Kamiya not use his talents for an on rails shooter.

Well, Kamiya loves them.

Then again, I guess he's only suppose to make what you like?

[Jezan]

Bayonetta + Touchscreen = ???

That would explain Bayonetta quote "Do you want to touch me?"
:O

[EatChildren]

How does Kamiya feel about EVA?

[Neiteio]

What if Sakurai and Kamiya are just stepping out, if you know what I mean. Young love and all that.

[animlboogy]

I want this.

Please do this.

[Nibel]

How does Kamiya feel about EVA?

[pulga]

Does this mean what I think it means?


Ice Climbers Revengeance CONFIRMED.

[MisterHero]

Does this mean what I think it means? Ice Climbers Revengeance CONFIRMED.

Squash eggplants with your hammer in real-time

[Jezan]

"Chozo-a-go-go, baby!" :lol

The baby..... teeheehee :D
Metroid Other M 2, by Platinum Games would be awesome, though i think we will have to wait a long time before that happens.

[.la1n]

Well, Kamiya loves them. Then again, I guess he's only suppose to make what you like?

Of course not, he is free to make what he is passionate about. I wouldn't want him to continue making action games for the sake of it and the quality to suffer for it. It's just my personal opinion that I'd like to see a Bayo 2 (since he supposedly was already working on it) first before he moved to something on rails.

Apologies if it came off as anything other than just a random personal opinion.

edit: and as long as it doesn't end up like this

[Psxphile]

Bayonetta 2 uncancelled and now Wii U exclusive confirmed.

Think again.

[AgentChris]

I'm down for a Nintendo / Platinum Games collaboration. :D

I really hope this happens someday. WiiU + Platinum Games = sogood.gif

[54-46!]

No thanks, I'd rather have them work on their own games.

[Ravidrath]

Just in case anyone actually fell for this little piece of viral marketing... you can't "sneak into" Platinum's offices. They're in a big, secure high-rise and you need to go through multiple layers of security (and a Michael Jackson exhibit) just to get to an elevator.

So what does this mean...?

Clearly this means that Platinum Games is the developer for the forthcoming Smash Bros. games, much like GameArts was for Brawl.

[GDGF]

At this time and a pic focusing on the logo, that's not innocent. But that Sakurai is also friend with everyone, is he just playing... the pic on the studio name still seems the important fact.

Something is a brewing and probably has been ever since Kamiya made this statement some time ago:

I want Nintendo's staff to come to Platinum, stick guns at us and tell us 'You guys make a new Star Fox'.

With Nintendo stating that they had "surprising collaborations" underway for the Wii U (during the 2011 Investor Roundtable) Anything is possible.

Here's to hoping.

[Instro]

Oh yeah Sakurai doesn't even work at Nintendo Sora Ltd is freelance is it not?

Sora Ltd is essentially 3rd party I believe, however the studio they own in conjunction with Nintendo "Project Sora" is 1st party. It's weird.

[NEO0MJ]

Think again. http://i.imgur.com/SSRF7.jpg

Could have been a cute piece of art, but Bayonetta looks to much like Link in drag it's kinda creepy.

MICHAEL JACKSON CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL!

Mystery solved! Bayonetta's costume for Toon Link in the Next Smash Bros.

[massoluk]

Kojima begged Sakurai to put Raiden in the next Smash Brothers, so Sakurai went down to Platinum to get the model.

Means you seem pretty familiar with the place. :o

Peacock confirmed for new Smash developed by Platinum?
