PlatinumGames' wonder duo Atsushi Inaba and Hideki Kamiya issued a rallying cry in Croatia today to convince Nintendo to get The Wonderful 101, a wonderful game and Wii U exclusive, on Switch.
The rallying cry came during the duo's Reboot Develop 2018 talk. Kamiya, who's very fond of The Wonderful 101, asked how many people in the audience had played it and then the translator relayed:
"We're going to knock the audience participation up a bit. They're still trying to negotiate with Nintendo whether a possible Wonderful 101 Switch release could happen but it always helps when the people in the audience at Reboot clap if they'd actually buy a Switch version of Wonderful 101. So anybody who would buy that, please clap..."
And the whole room did.
In an interview after the talk I followed the topic up and asked how far The Wonderful 101 conversation with Nintendo had progressed. Atsushi Inaba, co-founder and executive director, replied (again via translator):
"From their perspective obviously there are things they can't talk about, about dealings they have with Nintendo. Certainly they can say everything they said during the speech, which was, 'Hey, we should do that.' But whether that is a 'we are going to do that', and what the likelihood is of that happening, is just going to have to be something you wait to find out."
Platinum and Nintendo's close relationship - The Wonderful 101 was a Wii U exclusive, and Bayonetta 3 is a Switch exclusive - bodes well.
On the theory that Final Fantasy 8's Rinoa is really Ultimecia:
"No, that is not true," Kitase said. "I don't think I'll incorporate that even if we do remake the game. But that being said, both Rinoa and Ultimecia are witches, so in that sense they are similar, but they're not the same person." 0330名無しさん必死だな2018/04/22(日) 12:57:23.81ID:eKyc1HM30 ある程度、話は任天堂と付いてるんだろう。 そうじゃなきゃ、公言しないよなｗ 0331名無しさん必死だな2018/04/22(日) 13:04:58.72ID:rUuvg7xhd>>303 任天堂の金でプラチナが開発しただけだから当たり前だろバカなの 0332名無しさん必死だな2018/04/22(日) 15:21:16.28ID:Cv7JDA7G0>>6 すげーなー、ファーストが買い取り保証かー 0333名無しさん必死だな2018/04/22(日) 15:30:26.33ID:vh/beqi/a>>332 （判）第１号株式会社ソニー・コンピュータエンタテインメントに対する審決 ttp://www.jftc.go.jp/info/nenpou/h13/13kakuron00002-4-2.html ttp://www.jftc.go.jp/cprc/reports/index.files/cr-0508.pdf
