Remember how PlatinumGames teased four major announcements last year? They ended up being for Platinum Games Tokyo, Project G.G., The Wonderful 101: Remastered, and an April Fools' joke, which didn't go down too well at the time.
It's also got one special "bonus stage" announcement that it still has to make. In a new interview with VGC, Platinum's Hideki Kamiya told fans to expect something that's a little "smaller in scale" compared to the previous announcements but hopes they will still "get a kick out of" it.
“We want to reveal it at the right time, but what we can say at the moment is that this was always intended as the ‘Platinum Four’, so I think that the expectations should be for something extra. That being said, this is something that we’ve had in the works for a while."
The plan was to get this announcement out sooner, but due to the pandemic, it got pushed back.
“We wanted to get this out a little sooner but then the coronavirus happened, which I know is a common excuse, but we hope that when we can start talking about it, it will bring a smile to our fans’ faces and we’ll get a good reaction like, ‘ah, we love those Platinum guys!’”
What would you like to see as a final bonus announcement from PlatinumGames? Share your thoughts below.

A Waluigi skin for Bayonetta.
Good get this announcement out of the way so that B3 will be closer to being announced.
Bayonetta 3, featuring Demi-fiend from the Shin Megami Tensei series
He's a troll, so this might be the biggest announcement of them all. Or not. We'll see.
A Mad World remaster, perhaps?
@TheFrenchiestFry & Knuckles
Viewtiful Joe ANYHING would be nice.
A man can dream in a Viewtiful world.
Nier automata for switch. That would be a cool announcement!
Is "the right time" April 1st by any chance?
@SeantheDon29 He said small so you shouldn't get your hopes up for it.
Bayonetta 3 will be an Atari VCS exclusive 😀
@harouhiko I seriously wouldn't out it past Kamiya to pull something like that. 😂
Astral Chain Sequel?
I’d rather see news on Babylon’s Fall and Bayo 3.. then maybe some of their old stuff brought to the Switch
Scale eh?
Is it Scalebound?
@SeantheDon29 oh, I’ll take a remaster of Mad World. Or a sequel.
Given that it's supposed to be smaller than the other announcements... And one of those was a literal fake announcement, while another was them opening a new location, I'm not sure it could possibly be anything if interest.
Vanquish for Switch please
Is it the release of the demo for Bayonetta 3?
If it’s a big announcement I’d guess Bayonetta 3, but personally I’d like the announcement of Astral Chain 2 in development
The guy is the ultimate attention seeking troll.
Maybe they will finally announce the date that they intend to reveal the confirmation of the existence of a future possible announcement, which will itself be a photo of Kamiya and his new hamster named Bayonetta 3.
It's going to be Star Fox Zero + Guard for Switch further allowing the Switch to fulfill it's true potential as a hybrid Wii U.
I generally love Platinum's games, but their announcements have all been disappointing lately.
@Grumblevolcano Yeah, I thought I was buying a new Nintendo console but what I really got is a portable Wii U. What a disappointment...
Infinite Space for Switch would be nice.
@ozwally Astral Chain 2 would be absolutely brilliant!
Nier: Gestalt remake?
A Switch port for MadWorld would be nice.
@Nin10dood That would have leaked when the capcom data breach happened.
give me nier automata on switch
Bayonetta 3 or GTFO.
I pre-ordered B3 in Dec 2018 so I'm allowed to be salty. 😉

Releasing a new game.
I too bought B3 when it was announced.
Waiting on that and M4 now for ages.
Glad they hold back on B3 until it's worth showing, especially in light of the cyberpunk fiasco
The fact that they say that they've been working on it for a while completes disproves it being a Star Fox Zero Switch port, as PlatinumGames said back in August that they hadn't been contacted by Nintendo regarding bringing Star Fox Zero to Switch, and I doubt that's changed since then. 🤔😔
@Grumblevolcano
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. 🤔
I can see Zero happening on Switch, but not Guard as it definitely used the Gamepad to the fullest. 🤔
Astral Chain 2, Nier Switch port, but mostly I want a Viewtiful Joe 3 and a HD remaster of 1 & 2. Also when they announce Viewtiful Joe he can also be added in as a Smash character along with Silvia and Captain Blue (Jr.) as well.
