Rumour: PlatinumGames Is Working On Three Switch Titles

If only one of them were Metal Gear Rising...

Eh, I kinda lost interest in them after Transformers: Devastation.

I'd hope for Nier Automata but that's not happening. Unless one of them is Switch-exclusive Nier 3???

Love these guys so I'm all for it.

LeakyPandy? Really?

Come on NL.

Vanquish 2? Or Mad World 2?

Wonderful 102 please

I liked W101 but there were elements that were more to be endured than enjoyed. Outside of its most ardent fans, I think most people who've played it can point to half a dozen things that need to be fixed (45 minutes to an hour between save points?!?!). I'd like a remaster, not a 1:1 port.

So you're saying Bayonetta 3 trailer confirmed at the VG Awards?

"The source - LeakyPandy - ... "

I stopped reading after this. You should too.

11 posts and nobody said "Scalebound"? You all lose your posting privileges for the remainder of the day. 😂

Bayonetta 3, Wonderful 102 & a Scalebound' revival, please.

I would LOVE a new Vanquish...

Port of Nier: Automata?

Squeenix did say they'd bring more stuff.

@Muddy_4_Ever Heck, I loved W101 and I could point out probably a dozen things that need to be fixed. Had a lot of personality and overall fantastic general gameplay loop, but it was a very flawed game. If it does come to Switch a rework would be very nice (and necessary with the gamepad not being a thing on Switch).

The source is sketchy, but I'd still bet this is true. Platinum even made a few Wii U titles, they're bound to be making at least several Switch games.

Imagine if a similar situation occurred with Bayonetta in Smash 4 and they put Nier Auto on Switch and the protagonist of that game gets into Smash.

@Daldra Yes please.

@rjejr I thought I read awhile back that got cancelled?

I would love for it to be Bayonetta 3, Wonderful 101, and Vanquish

Please let it be Nier!!!

I know people will hate me but, Platinum Games is a very overrated studio. Their games are pure style and zero substance. I have never enjoyed one single of its games and I really tried but they are just flashy shallow tedious games with "edgy" themes.

Ummm Liam, I don't mean to come off like a prick, but could you have even tried to google or maybe even call or email the company rep on a coment about the other two games, even an official "No Comment" would have been better than Bayonetta 3 which is old news and "take a guess"

Jesus man, I am sick and tired of the so called "reporters" here either making up irrelevant pieces just to fill in some blank spots here on NL and/or just relaying what some other game sites say without doing any followup work and/or just plain missing and incomplete info
what usually happens is the readers end up filling in the blanks, but those blanks shouldn't have been there in the first place

give me the contact info to your editor or whoever you work under, I'll work for free, just to show you guys how it's really done

I'd love to see Platinum and Capcom work it out to revive the Viewtiful Joe series. Or something really off the cuff with a Bayonetta x Devil May Cry, but that last one would be asking for way too much lol.

@shonenjump86

Vanquish 2...PLEASE!!!

Has Leakypandy actually gotten enough right to be anywhere close to reliable? I can't remember, the Smash hype cycle has turned everything into a blur.

Wonderful 101 is basically just pikmin but way more complicated than it needs to be

Minority here, but I kinda like those LeakyPandy fellows. In the end people just believes what they wanna believe. Them on the other hand just "reports" on what they were told. It's up to you to get hyped over it or not especially if you're aware it's a rumor. If they say something and turned out to be not true, there's always that possibility that things have changed by then. The Smash bit was just handled, or rather communicated poorly and they already explained. A direct happened so they got one right, right? Not trying to defend them or anything it's just that the hate they receive is unjustified since at the end of the day you got hyped over a rumor.

2 more games on top of Bayonetta 3 and BABYLON'S FALL!... now that is what I call Fantastic news!

I was starting to lose hope on The Wonderful 101 port happening. Could we be getting that and a sequel, like how Bayonetta 1+2+3 were announced last year?

I'm a huge fan of Platinum. Hope we hear official announcements from them soon!

Vanquish, Scalebound and Ninja Turtles are the ones I really want. Wonderful 101 was okay but not really my cup of tea.

I might be the only one but I’d love to see GodHand HD! I know Capcom probably owns the rights, but man it would be cool

Anything but Starfox Zero... this game is truly zero, especially when compared with Starlink.

It's a long shot, but I would love to see a new Star Fox game. Take what was good about Zero, leave out the stuff that was bad, and make a new entry into the series that takes place after Assault.

Preferably one where Fox and Krystal don't break up, and actually do get married in the end. I did not like most of her endings in Command. She and Fox belong together, plain and simple.

@Frendo How can MS own a game that doesn't exist and never existed? Do they own the name, the assets, the game engine?

It doesn't have to be Scalebound, it could be Monster Hunter, just with all of the items, gathering, cats, and time limits removed. I just want one of PGs big AAA games, nto one of their cell-shaded B games.

Though the saltiness over Scalebound would be hilarious.

I don’t take stock in rumor but anything PlatinumGames I am grateful if true!

I would love W102.

@MongolRaider Scalebound did get canceled. Dead and buried and never to be seen again canceled. Which would make it perfect for Switch. Though if the other person is correct Microsoft owns it, so no go.

@Muddy_4_Ever I want more than a remaster for W101. I’d like a definitive version or DX version. I loved the game but it did have some glaring flaws. If they fixed them, I think it’d be a masterpiece. Some of the game relied on 2 screens so there are some things they’d have to change.

Nintendo Switch have Godzilla Game it was after release Godzilla 2 king of the monster.

For every good game they make they deliver 8-10 bad games so...

Honestly. W101 always felt like a poor man's Bayonetta. Once Bayonetta 2 was announced W101 became irrelevant.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Scalebound moved to Switch?

I would double dip on Mad World, since I was surprised on how much fun I had with that one. W101 should get a port as well. Even though I never finished it I think having it on the go would be appealing to some that bought it originally and make it available to a wider audience...

I loved W101, great game. And most people who played it for a while realised that the figures were easier to draw with the right stick than the gamepad. Sure, there were a few areas where the gamepad was used in a cool way, but it would be easy to rework those.

@Strumpan I found it easier with the gamepad. I did however practice quite a bit until I could do it without looking at the gamepad. The main problem was they had digital buttons on the gamepad and I’d accidentally hit them sometimes

Well I really love them, so im in too it.

I would LOVE to play Wonderful 101 again

@goggles789 yeah, that’s well known as Activisions meddling and fault. No wonder all other Platinums efforts are critically acclaimed and by fans alike..... except those three titles that were worked on under the rule of Activision.

@LUIGITORNADO they are nothing alike my dude, what are you talking about, old friend?

Bayo 3, vanquish 1&2 (Switch exclusive), madworld 1&2

@brandonbwii it was originally meant for the Wii

Yeah, I would take a Vanquish please.

I think The Wonderful 101 would be very likely given that it's a Wii U game that's not yet on Switch. The Wii U ports to Switch need to continue until the Wii U is completely drained of good games.

Bayonetta 1 & 2...

...on 3DS...

...with no stereoscopic 3D...

...also rated E/3/G.

The wonderful.
was an awesome game.

Please be true, please be true, please be true

I'd love a port (and/or sequel) of Wonderful 101.

Vanquish and Nier Automata would be awesome.

@gutsack oh hai, brother.

Simply because of that sweet combo system. It had that similar mechanic of popping enemies up. I liked the game, but I kept thinking how much I’d rather be playing a Bayonetta sequel, and well, then I got one.

I might pick up W101 if it gets ported. I haven't tried it yet. Is it any good?

I hope we get a Nier Automata port.

@BlueOcean On this rare occasion I'll agree with you on the "unpopular opinion" train. There's so much hype for everything Platinum, but I find myself continuously unimpressed with the majority of their work. Nier: Automata is one of those rare amazing gems they crank out though.

@jswhitfield8 "platinum sold the game to Microsoft before development started"

Well if I was any type of lawyer, if my company worked on a game and then sold the rights to another company, if that other company ditched that game then the rights would revert back to my company. Maybe not the name or character, but certainly the game engine if they had developed it. It it was built on Unreal or something then it probably doesn't matter. But it kind of looked a little like Monster Hunter Stories, I wouldn't mind a little more grown up version of that game. Though not as grown up as MH.

I do not know what they could be making, Wonderful 101 sequel or not, but I am excited regardless!

Viewtiful Joe 3 and 1+2 remastered!!!!!!!

@BubbleMatrix82 Damn you beat me

I played through Bayonetta 1&2 in preparation for 3, but I hope W101 comes to Switch, because like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, it deserves more of a following than what it found on Wii U. Would be nice if searching "W101" in Google brought up something other than Wizard 101...

@I_Am_A_Geek

I dunno if you played either of these games too extensively if you seriously believe that.

@MysticGengar

I absolutely loved it personally. And it was one of my favorite games of this gen. Certainly wasn't perfect, but was a game that oozed style, had it's own quirks & charms while also offering a good bit of challenge. Especially when trying to get arcade style higher rankings with your fighting prowess.

@LUIGITORNADO

Speak for yourself bud. As I enjoyed them both.

I could live with being the warrior of dearth once more!

Scalebound won't ever release on the Switch, that's for sure

@Muddy_4_Ever

As one of The Wonderful 101's most ardent fans (love this game to death) I can say even we acknowledge the game's flaws, we just love it even despite those things.

The reworks needed to change the sections that were build around the Wii U's double-screen mechanic are probably what's causing this much hinted at port to take this long.
It's one of the things I'm looking forward to, as those Wii U sections were kinda bad. And there's more I hope they'll fix/improve upon.

@MysticGengar

It's a great game, but it does require patience, lots of practise and perseverance to get the most out of it.
It's a good case of a game following the "play by my rules, or get out!!!" design philosophy and it will take time until the game "clicks" with you.
It's kinda like the Dark Souls series in that way now that I think about it...

But it's a really fun and whacky game with tons of epic, over-the-top set pieces, a fun combat system and amazing boss battles. I think this first boss battle is a good example of what to expect (shameless self-plug incoming xd): https://youtu.be/D770HCdpL60

I'm convinced that Nintendo took over the cancelled Xbox project of Kamiya.

It'll be awesome to see Scalebound (probably under another name with a new hero) coming exclusively on Switch.

@fafonio Very true,which is why I worry about their influence in FromSoftwares new game,Sekiro.They're up there with EA in regards to the worst things about the gaming industry

Wonderfull 101 port...and maybe, hopefully a sequel.

@shonenjump86 Dude, don't even tease me with Vanquish!

@NinjaSyao
Thanks for the link. I'll likely pick it up if it hits switch soon.

@shonenjump86 I would LOVE Mad World 2! Mad World was one of my top three favorite Wii games, and can't believe they never re-released it.

VANQUISH...VANQUISH....VANQUISH.......

@Nemodius Please do

If it is the same button mashers style of bayonetta/others in the same genre I am out, everything else I will have a look. But bring the games baby that is what matter!

@NEStalgia That's right, it's like you never know what is going to be. :S

Vanquish 2 please as well:)

I know most Nintendo fans are keen on having Nier Automata come to Switch. As you should because it's awesome. What would be cool though is to have Platinum games develop a sequel to Drakengard for switch. Hopefully the games being developed are Babylons fall and Granblue. Granblue was supposed to be a PS4 exclusive but maybe they changed their minds.

Bayonetta 3
Wonderfull 102
Starfox One
You heard it here first folks.

If only we could have a Metal Gear Rising 2
The 1 was so fun, the ability to slash almost anything felt so good

@JR150 As much as I'd love her 2B to BE in Smash. She's getting fighting game love in Soul Caliber 6 as DLC
