Is "boundless, shapless" a common expression in japanese?
Looking forward for the next Platinum master piece anyway!

Can we talk about how insane it is for a company in this day and age to do one console game a year? Good for Platinum.
Also, after they get a chance to do this new IP I'd love for them to get a hold of a Marvel property. They deserve a shot at a licensed IP where they're not being rushed stupidly thanks to Activision.
Ironically, Platinums best selling stuff has come from other peoples IPs. (Metal Gear and Nier).
And yes, it was huge wasted potential by giving Platinum Kora/Transformers/Turtles but with only a shoe string budget. Those could have been multimillion sellers if they'd just given them a Nier type budget.

Nintendo funded these which released within about 9-ish months of each other.
All varying degrees of Action RPG with more or less open world-design (different takes).

They're confirmed to have Switch projects already. Whether or not this is one of them is the point of contention.

I'm going to be the odd man out and guess that the "formless, shapeless" comment in just a fun coincidence and this won't be anything to do with Bruce Lee. Honestly, I'm a huge Bruce Lee fan and I love Platinum, but if this were a Bruce Lee game, I wouldn't necessarily be super hyped. Would definitely check it out, of course, but I appreciate Platinum most because they go HAM on crazy sci-fi/fantasy crap; wild and weird and incomprehensible early 90s anime OVA storytelling; ridiculous weapons and huge bosses, etc. None of those elements would be in play in a Bruce Lee game.
Yay!! I'll take that as a yes it is coming... hopefully.
Just call it Bruce Hand or God Lee and have Bruce kicking dudes into the stratosphere while you build combos out of different moves from all sorts of different martial arts styles to play to your own strengths.

Is it time for P-Man to reemerge?
Going off that developer video with Taro working with Platinum the last person to take off the mask when he was talking about someone else rising to director was Taura so I hope it's him.

Of course they would. If Nintendo funds their pitch like with TW101. Devs don't walk around going "man, do I want to desperately make a console exclusive for X!"

This is a good point, but now that Monolith is churning out RPGs for them would they really feel the need to do this anymore?
Interesting development. My personal feeling is this is probably the NS game they're working on. No idea who the new director is, but since they're a new developer, it's probably someone we haven't heard of before. Which could be awesome.
Heh, I'd laugh so hard if they were working on a Bruce Lee game, though.
If they want to diversify their portfolio, then it would be a good idea. Especially if the third party situation isn't as robust as they'd like it to be. On top of that, for anything to be announced now, would mean that these games were in development for a while, so back then maybe Nintendo figured they'd go it alone, so having more games would be in their best interest.

Step away from the home consoles and look at their handheld stuff. Look how many RPGs they had various devs make for them.
Mario & Luigi series
Xenoblade 3D
Ever Oasis
Pokémon
They go out of their way to publish Yo-kai Watch which is basically just Not-Pokémon
Fire Emblem
plus them publishing/localizing a lot of RPG/related genre games in the West
etc
they don't checklist a genre for just one studio/team

You guys, I've figured it out:
Platinum owning their own IP: Platinum leverages the massive warchest that huge commercial successes like The Wonderful 101 and TMNT Mutants in Manhattan have won them to buy the Bayonetta IP from Sega.
A new director: While Hideki Kamiya is on vacation after the Scalebound debacle, an unknown bald fellow wearing orange sunglasses and sporting a goatee starts work at the Platinum office. He looks suspiciously familiar, but... no, Kamiya definitely didn't have a bushy, definitely-not-fake moustache like this new guy does.
A "formless, shapeless IP": Like a swirling cloud of enchanted, silky black hair...
Bayonetta 3 confirmed, baby. Nothing stops this train.

That wouldn't be a new IP or a IP that belongs to themsadly
What if they made their own "God Hand", like how Bayonetta was Kamiya doing DMC again but as a new IP.

Damn... Take my money.
Just tell me what platform and I'll try to grab it.
Did you know they're all jokes because Bruce Lee couldn't stand the general public's fascination with "Asian mysticism?" He's literally making shit up to fuck with people.

A game every few years doesn't amount to "churning out" RPGs you know. For fucks sake.
