Platinum games just announced a game for Xbox and its exclusive, I seriously thought Nintendo had exclusive rights to Platinum games? Am I getting the wrong impression ?
Platinum Games is close to Nintendo (and everything points to them having a real respectful relationship) but Platinum Games has very much done its own thing and worked with different companies.
also even as someone who still believes in Wii U, it would be dumb to JUST work with Nintendo right now for a company like this
If it makes you feel better, the Xbox game is already looking very western pandering fantasy thing like a Dragon's Dogma and only showed a CG trailer despite Platinum Gameplay being the best showcase for their games, so I don;t think it's some huge deal.
Nintendo paid for Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2, and Microsoft are paying for Scalebound. Platinum probably know their games are never going to make money anymore, so they need to do stuff like this, let a platformed holder foot the bill in order to get themselves an exclusive. I think it's safe to say that W101 did not make Nintendo anywhere near as much money as they paid to get it made, and Bayonetta 2 and Scalebound will probably be the same unless there is some big, BIG marketing push.
Looks exactly like Devil May Cry too...With dragons!
This reminds me, I still need to play the first Bayonetta! I was hoping Platinum would do a remake for the Wii U, but alas... I'll have to get it for the 360 I suppose
Platinum Games is 3rd party. They are just making whatever Nintendo and Microsoft(apparently) are paying them to. I wasn't impressed, really, but I'll wait for the gameplay vids.
If Planitum is working in Bayonetta and Scalebound, looks like they are no having so much room for been working also in Starfox.
They were still technically working on Metal Gear Rising when Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 were announced and Bayonetta 2 is nearly done, so who knows?
To me they are a company who are waiting for their one break through hit game, once that comes they wont need Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo to pay for their games.

It's kinda surprising that they haven't already, considering how strong both Bayonetta and Wonderful101 are.
