Platinum Games teases E3 news

Nobody posted the Platinum logo and new Direct logo comparison yet? Nintendo obviously bought Platinum - that's the news.


Just kidding. I think it's too early for a new Platinum game, so it's probably about W101 and Bayonetta 2.
 
With as much as Kamiya would like to a do a Starfox game I don't know why Nintendo doesn't let him. The franchise needs to evolve and he is eager to do it.

Yes, it does need to happen.

Falco: Slippy, your such a screw up.

Slippy: Don't get peppy with me, Falco.

Fox: Guys, we're supposed to be fighting the enemy, not each other.

Falco: Fine. But I won't bother saving you next time, frog face.

Slippy: Lick my slime sack, bird brain.

Peppy: Do a barrel roll!
 
it cant be awesome if we know about it already. Unless one of the demos at BestBuy is W101 and/or Bayo 2...

Edit:
Vanquish 2 U..
Seconded. Since Nintendo seem to be on good terms with both Sega and Platinum do you think Vanquish 2 is possible?

**SUDDENLY STARWOLF BURSTS ONTO THE SCENE**

StarWolf: Do you eat shit?

Leon: Fucking Smash idiots.

Pigma: Fucking foreigners.
 
Would love a Nintendo game, but kinda doubt that's the case.

I seem to recall a rumor that Platinum was displeased with SEGA's handling of the marketing of their games, and so far it seems Nintendo isn't doing a great job of raising awareness of and explaining the gameplay of TW101. I'm also guessing Platinum doesn't want to be tied too closely to a struggling platform. We're more likely to see some partnerships with other publishers.
 
Calling it now:

PG is actually making every game at E3, all with dark souls-esque mechanics.

NEW METROID
NEW STAR FOX
NEW CASTLEVANIA
NEW MEGA MAN

I would actually like a Star Fox Adventures 2 by Platinum.
 
Really wouldn't mind seeing Nintendo buy up Platinum at this point. They've got a close relationship and Platinum could really breathe some life into a few of their IP's *cough* Star Fox *cough* Takamaru *cough*

Hell w/ Nintendo and Capcom's recent relationship bliss they could even get the rights to Okami 2 and send it over Platinums way because Okami + Gamepad = Obvious choice. -hopeful wishing-
 
As much as I'm excited for Bayo 2 and TW101, I don't see why anyone would hype up 2 already announced games in this sort of way.

New game announcement and/or partnership or bust.
 
I'm hoping to see a port of the first Bayonetta game made available in the eShop only for less than a tenner. It would be as cheap as chips to do and would sell a decent amount. It really is a no-brainer imo, whether they do it or not though is anyone's guess lol.

Wouldn't it be more fun to see what platinum can offer by themselves?
 
Vanquish and/or Bayonetta PC release *_*
 
You guys know that Kamiya already revealed what he is doing next on his twitter, right?
It's code-named Project
Vacation
 
I'd kill for a port of the original Bayonetta for Wii U/PC. Just get it the fuck off of the original XBOX. Can't wait to see more W101 and Bayonetta 2. Any other new IP/franchise they've scooped up would be pretty exciting too!
 
Nintendo really should purchase platinum games. The Japanese equivalent of retro...sort of...not really...but fucking both are fucking awesome.

I think they would really help plug a mature title void. Sure it's never going to be like owning a ps4/one but it would enough combined with great Nintendo titles. It wouldn't make a difference with the mainstream hardcore gamer, but might help justify the purchase for a hardcore gaf gamer.

Eh, that would just ensure that I wouldn't buy their games anymore. They'd end up losing money by not producing multiplats.

As glad as I am that Nintendo saved Bayonetta and is letting Kamiya work on W101 it would be terrible to have a studio like Platinum not being able to work on better hardware than Wii U.
