Don't play with my heart like that.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Hype, no matter what.

 

[Plum]

What if they're being literal and it's a semi-sequel to W101 called The Interesting 101? Gasp in mild delight and nod approvingly as you learn interesting facts about the Wonderful 101 universe and the characters within.

 

[duckroll]

I hope it's "interesting" like W101 at least, and not "interesting" like Mad World and Star Fox.

 

[KingBroly]

I hope it's like...a Kirby Action game

 

[SmokedMeat]

How’s the compatibility with Platinum Games?

Well let's see...it's making money and we like to make money, so it's a good fit.

 

[FaintDeftone]

GImme that Vanquish 2 with HD rumble knee sliding action.

 

[Raide]

Wonderful 101.5.

Sounds like that would be Mr. Wedgewood's thing.

W101 was an extreme Bomba why would it be W101 interesting? More likely it's another starfox type deal a SE port or Bayonetta 3 (which while bomba had greater mindshare than w101)

 

[Litri]

Lord knows this is going to be good.

 

[valouris]

I hope it's gonna be wonderful as well.

The Umbra Witch Trilogy

Finally!!

 

[SporeCrawler]

Platinum was one of the main WiiU devs. I hope they port over Bayo 1,2 and make Bayo 3.

Also plz make W102 and Starfox 3

 

[Principate]

The Umbra Witch Trilogy

Finally!!

This is what I'm hoping for since it's unlikely Bayonetta 2 will be ported anywhere else.

 

[Peléo]

Great. Some people complain about the lack of single-player focused games on the Switch. This Platinum game and the current expected releases of the end of fiscal year should completely reverse it.

 

[Principate]

Combined with this

Maybe there would be a male Bayonetta! (laughs). I would like to make Bayonetta 3. We’re talking within the company even now about what to do. But because we’re constantly talking about it, that actually makes it really hard to say. If we weren’t talking about it, we could just say something random or offhand, you know, but because we’re actually talking about it…Of course, that’s just something that you talk about when you’re making a series – do you want to keep the same protagonist? There’s plenty of precedent for changing protagonists, and so that is something we discuss – do we want to keep the same one, have a different one, add new ones – but that’s certainly not anything I can say for sure at this point

Chances of Bayonetta 3 are rising.

Who's talking about sales here? When Platinum makes "interesting" games rather than the norm of what they do (pure character action), it can end up good, or it can end up really bad. Either way it'll probably bomb because Nintendo sucks at selling anything outside their comfort zone and no one else would pay Platinum to make a Switch only game hahahahaha.

 

[Sapiens]

I don't think Treasure exists as anything beyond a name and a few people watching over the one game they have for sale on Steam.

I hope to god all those talented programmers are at least working at something, making mad money.

That's the point it's either going to be SE or Nintendo meaning if it does end up being Switch exclusive which I think it's resonably unlikely a new experiemental IP is unlikely to be what Nintendo pays for. It'd likely be again giving them another franchise or Bayonetta 3 because Bayonetta 2 was critically well regarded and there's some level of fanbase for it since it won the character poll for Smash (well as far as useable characters).

 

[jdstorm]

Come on Xenoblade X Rising Revengence.

Spoiler

its definitely not happening but Elma and her Skell/Doll deserve the platinum treatment as they single handedly fight off an alien invasion.

Think Halo Reach x Vanquish × DMC.

Nintendo pays for a lot of stupid shit.

Can't really blame them for Star Fox though... They delivered the game Shiggy and Nintendo wanted.

Don't think anyone could have marketed a game like W101. Better be glad that first party budget allows them to deliver such games without having to worry about it sales. Well then again Scalebound happened as well... lol.

 

[TheOasis]

Imagine pulling this off with the joycons

It's inevitable. Platinum is not going to leave a motion control required, QTE punch scene with HD rumble on the table.

Also, I'm glad to see so much interest in this thread for a W101 sequel. The IP deserves another shot.

 

[Principate]

Nintendo pays for a lot of stupid shit.

This is true and perhaps they're feeling lucky but after W101 and B2 they seemed to noped the fuck out of Original Platinum IP's. So it could go either way. Likely be lowish budget regardless.

 

[Nostremitus]

Platinum should make the next Pikmin...


...now I need to Play W101 again...

CAPTAIN TOAD: DEVASTRUCTION

 

[J@hranimo]

You know what would be REALLY interesting?

Bayonetta crossover with another Platinum IP action game.

 

[Passose]

How about a Princess Peach and Princess Daisy hack and slash game

 

[Lelou]

If they don't drop bombs on this e3 i will be really angry.
Everyones is working on something secret for switch, but no one can say a word.

C'mooon

 

[Oreiller]

Finally, the Waluigi X Bayonetta crossover I've always wanted is upon us.

 

[FingerBang]

Come on, give us the Mario May Cry we're all waiting for.

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

Wonderful 102 please

But I'd also take Bayonetta 3.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Platinum surprise at E3 showcase?

This project is hopeful more like Wonderful 101.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Captain falcon Platinum game?

God Hand 2 Ft Captain Falcon

 

[FunkyDealer]

Platinum had a surprising amount of Wii U games during it's short life.

I think Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 remasters could do well on Switch.

As for new projects, my hope is for a new IP or a sequel to Wonderful.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

They're helping to develop the nee No More Heroes.

 

[cw_sasuke]

How about a Princess Peach and Princess Daisy hack and slash game

Well Princess Peach is a badass as we know now thanks to Rabbids Kingdom... So this is very likely.

 

[Principate]

God Hand 2 Ft Captain Falcon

You mean this

 

[hemo memo]

Metroid by Platinum games. It make sense.

 

[ArtHands]

Bayonetta 3

Come on!

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Bayonettta Triletto

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Would love The Wonderful 102 which will never happen.

I can definitely see it being Bayonetta 3.

 

[Shifty]

God damn. My switch purchase-o-meter just shot up by like 50%. Must hold out for a hardware revision...
Grip... Loosening...

You mean this

Sheeeeeeyit. I want this.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Metroid by Platinum games. It make sense.

Yeah, that totally worked last time they handed it off to a studio known for making character action games.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Börgonattso 3 plox

 

[Lelou]

Bayonetta 2 was closing completly the story.
I don't get why we need a 3.


I would prefer a new ip

 

[Ghost Slayer]

As a person not own Wii U, I really want them to port Bayonetta 1 and 2 as well as Wonderful 101 to Switch

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

Platinum working with Suda on No More Heroes 3 would probably be the best thing ever 🤔
