There is no word more uninteresting than the word interesting.

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Whatever it is, I hope it's something wholly fresh and exciting. Would be cool to see Platinum do something that works really well with the Switch's local multiplayer facets while also being a superb single player game.

 

[Mathieran]

If it's Wonderful 102 I will buy a switch no questions asked.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Seems like everyday there's some good Switch news. I'm balls deep in Zelda: BotW right now and I couldn't be happier. What a console. What a year.

 

[RandomExpletive]

Fuck common sense, fuck rational thinking, fuck the media,

Wonderful 102 would make my day, week, month, and year

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Seems like everyday there's some good Switch news. I'm balls deep in Zelda: BotW right now and I couldn't be happier. What a console. What a year.

Can't help but feel like it'll only really kick into high gear in 2018, though.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Metroid.

Metroid or Kid Icarus.

... Kid Icarus.

Yep. Metroid.

 

[DMONKUMA]

There are a few franchises that I think would suit Platinum Games really well, for example, if Metroid Prime is not going to be a thing, then I would love to see a Metroid game like Vanquished. That’s a personal dream, I guess.

I understand exactly how you feel (laughs).

[kenjigreat]

Vanquish 2

I'd buy a Switch for Vanquish 2. Otherwise I'm never buying one.

It's VANQUISH.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Yep. Metroid.

 

[L Thammy]

Maybe they're creating It. It's an It character action game.

 

[Bronetta]

I love Platinum but keep them far away from Metroid. They're not a good match.

 

[Terrell]

Who would be publishing it I wonder? Nintendo?

That's my big question. I know Platinum and Nintendo seem to have a good working relationship, but whether this is a Nintendo-published title or something from a 3rd-party publisher is still very much on the table.

 

[DeuceGamer]

That's my big question. I know Platinum and Nintendo seem to have a good working relationship, but whether this is a Nintendo-published title or something from a 3rd-party publisher is still very much on the table.

Didn't Platinum recently say they wanted to start self Publishing?

 

[sixteen-bit]

dat concealed carry

 

[Nostremitus]

Oh please let it be at E3
And let it be glorious

EDIT:

This is the announcement that would probably kill me

Honestly, if Nintendo really wanted to drop a bomb(the good kind), that'd be it.

It could be an OoT prequel.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

In Inaba we trust.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Well yeah

That doesn't mean much. Basically all it means is that these devs have kits, not that they are are working on games.

This is the first confirmation that Platinum is working on a Switch game.

 

[Terrell]

Didn't Platinum recently say they wanted to start self Publishing?

And when that imaginary outcome happens, we can factor it into the discussion.

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

I don't have a Switch yet, but this news makes me happy. I'm excited for anything that Platinum does and loved their games for Wii U. Looking forward to seeing what this will turn out to be.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Hopefully it will be at this years e3

 

[Mory Dunz]

Imagine pulling this off with the joycons

no need.

 

[matrix-cat]

No, it would be Wonderful 202, the doubling. Double the characters, double the moves, double the price!

I'd pay it.

 

[squall23]

Please no! God no! Why would anyone want such a thing?

Because they actually make really fun games based on mechas, power armours, and giant robots?

 

[Capra]

I'm betting it'll end up being something wholly original and unexpected and amazing, like Wonderful 101.

Spoiler

And it'll sell like shit, like W101.

Come to think of it, Kamiya's been free since Scalebound was cancelled, hasn't he? We all know he loves his gameplay gimmicks...

 

[Boss Doggie]

hey, why not make something scalebound-esque for switch

call it

Leatherhold

 

[_Clash_]

BaleScound will be the hero we deserve

 

[_Clash_]

btw, please give Switch gamers a chance to W101 Nintendo/Platinum

Platinum's greatest game

 

[spannicus]

no need.

Lmao

 

[Astral Dog]

Hope they stick to their strenghts and not do anything too experimental

 

[Zomba13]

Yooooo that is sick! Is there a version without the words? I want that as my phone background.

 

[Mohonky]

Platinum to announce;
Bayo 3
Wonderful 102
Vanquish 2
Scalebound
Viewtiful Joe 3

All on Switch exclusively. The melt downs woud be pretty epic.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Crunch isn't the first onomatopoeia I think of when walking in sand.

 

[jmizzal]

Hopefully it will be at this years e3

I can see it being there Platinum does reveal their games more at western events unlike a lot of other Japanese 3rd parties

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

The Wonderful 102 hopefully

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

Really loving all the Wonderful 101 love here. One of the best games ever made.

As much as I would love a sequel or some kind of continuation I do think it'd would be one of those games that feels so complete as to stand on it's own.

.

 

[Passose]

Just played Vanquish on my pc, after playing it I think a Metroid game with Vanquish combat is not bad at all

 

[klier]

Happy for the fans, but there isn't a single Platinum game I like. So we'll see....

 

[Greedings]

Man, I really need to play Vanquish. My toaster can't run that though.

 

[Lelou]

This smell as a new ip.

But i will be happy even if they put back on the road bayo, wonderfull or viewtiful joe

 

[KaneU]

I love how Nintendo is always getting these oddball games, one of the many reasons I love them so much.

 

[katsubento]

I'll take anything from Platinum. Except for Scalebound which never appealed to me.

 

[Neff]

I'm interested in this.

Agreed. It's one of my favourite games ever, but...

It's so exhaustively complete that it didn't leave me wanting more, and it's so spectacular that I don't think it can be topped. I'd rather they put that same boundless energy and creativity into something new.

 

[i-Jest]

Bayonetta 3

LET'S GO!

Jeanne spin-off game, I can feel it!

Yes, let's do these.

 

[Graphics Horse]

The genre will be Interesting Action

 

[Majukun]

don't think it's Bayo, probably a new iP

 

[Lutherian]

It makes me think about the manga Mother Sarah.

Mother... Metroid...

 

[MTC100]

"We're creating it, you know. I think it's going to be interesting."

Really wonder what "it" refers to, might just be some wonky translation from Japanese though.

Either way it's great news to see some confirmation besides the logo, Nintendo and other developers put up such a poster wall in the past and there was often nothing to back it up.

btw: I'm up for Platinum creating the next Metroid, they showed with nier that they know how to do combat with projectiles too.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Imagine pulling this off with the joycons

Disgusting, never take me back to the waggle Wii days.
