Everyone keeps saying they want to see Scalebound repurposed, but am I the only one who was super into what they showed? I mean, we got to customize, ride, and fight alongside our own dragon. I was super into it.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Even better.

Or both

 

[Belgian Dude]

Even better.

I really hope we get the payoff to this tomorrow

Platinum gonna be announced as the Metroid Prime 4 developer, sorry man

Call me crazy but I think the anniversary Kirby 3DS game is going ot be announced in this direct

I was totally into it in theory, but I could never shake that the game had executive meddling all over it. Such a bummer. They'd been kicking around the concept since Platinum was founded. I actually do hope it gets a fresh start at some point.

 

[MoonFrog]

Pretty much whatever they make would be a good palate cleanser for my gaming intake of primarily Nintendo, JRPG, and PC strategy games. So I hope they do have something for us.

How dare you? I trusted you K.K. Slider, I'll never listen to your songs again

 

[CrisKre]

Platinum is, after Nintendo (including rare) my favorite developer. So please please please let them support Switch with their games. Anything Kamiya In will forever support.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectfuuuuuuuuul...

 

[Opa-Pa]

They cannot handle a serious Persona release that would take full advantage of Aniplex kickbacks and Sony cross promotion across the Asian continent.

All right fine, I did miss that point.

RIP portable Persona, you were too good.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

I guess the ultimate question is what is more valuable to Atlus - the portable market on Switch where they would be limited to Japanese and English speaking regions only, or to continue to milk the brand on platforms where they can enjoy perks like localization and distribution throughout Asia in Chinese and Korean, as well as strong extra marketing support and merchandising $$$ from music, anime, and whatever else that Aniplex will bend over backwards to collaborate with them on.

I think it's clear that their focus isn't on Nintendo platforms for that reason. They might eventually do it, but their primary focus will always be on a Sony platform first.

Why not both? It's not like Atlus isn't foreign on Nintendo platforms, they've had success on DS and 3DS and Persona 5 would do well on the Switch.

 

[Bronetta]

Id like to see Kamiya direct Bayonetta 3. The things he could come up with and add would be crazy.

Hes never directed a sequel before (except Resident Evil 2 but he didnt direct the first one so).

 

[XandBosch]

Keep dreaming.

It's not the developer though, it's just the franchises everyone is hoping to see. Mmmmeh.

Sugar Daddy Sony won't like it.

RIP portable Persona, you were too good.

You'll take your PS4 exclusive Persona 5 FES in 2018 and enjoy it!

 

[reelbigtink]

New game announcements would be great but I'm honestly most excited for a new Mario Odyssey trailer

 

[Vinc]

Any chance of anything DK related?

 

[jmizzal]

I'm joking and I dont want them to be the dev behind Metroid lol

Capcom's making Mario now???

I was wondering if someone would catch that.

 

[Belgian Dude]

Well, MY legit source that is even LESS total bullshit shared this with me?

So I guess the logical conclusion is they're both right and the direct is two-fold(er)ed! Man tomorrow's gonna be great!

 

[Sponge]

Any chance of anything DK related?

I can dream.

 

[Speely]

It's a nice touch.

Unpopular opinion: none of the platinum stuff excites me much

I agree. It's weird being a Nintendo fan when two of the biggest "things related to Nintendo that everyone gets really hyped about," of the last five years or so (Xenoblade and Platinum) are things that I'm really apathetic about now, though I'm probably going to buy Xenoblade 2 at this point anyways since I buy basically everything that could loosely be defined as a JRPG and gets a good reception for some reason.

 

[duckroll]

Why not both? It's not like Atlus isn't foreign on Nintendo platforms, they've had success on DS and 3DS and Persona 5 would do well on the Switch.

It can be both, it just won't be the focus. It's silly to say Persona 5 will never be on the Switch of course, but with the Persona 5 anime hitting next year, I think we can be assured that there's going to be a re-release/expansion/something and it will be primarily on the PS4, as opposed to it being primarily on a portable system like in the past. If they have the resources to make it multiplatform they could, but then again, Persona 5 wasn't on the Xbox One either. So who knows. If they don't feel they have additional resources to support more platforms, then it won't be on the Switch for quite a while.

A Dark Souls 1 port would be soo rad. I'd settle for DS2 or DS3

Lol, me neither. Smash is one of those things I want to get excited for but when it actually comes out, I never really play it with anyone. None of my friends grew up on it like I did and it's not really fun for them. And online was always meh for me.

Retro gotta be working on something. Right?

I'll see myself out

I buy it anyway because I'm an idiot.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Bayonetta 1/2 would be great. The Wonderful 101 would be sublime.

Bayonetta in Wonderful 102.

 

[usp84]

FROM SOFTWARE creators of Dark Souls etc.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Bayonetta in Wonderful 102.

You're going to love when you hear about the first game's cheat code.

Retro is building an obelisk of ancient design, thinking it to have occult import.

If they can pierce the heavens, perhaps they can find a game there to grace us with, but that is no longer the point.

Nintendo has them playing the long game.
