How would you feel if Nintendo puchased Platinum Games?

I own the Wiiu and the 3ds so I would be happy if they did or didn't.

what's there to upset about, not like anybody else is interested in working with them,, not like consumers are going to buy their quality games for that matter

best anybody can hope for is Capcom makes them an offer to come back and make quality games for them again, unlikely though, and since nobody else is working with them nobody can really be upset if Platinum gets bought up by Nintendo

Platinum games should make their own console since everyone don't want to support them except for the dying nintndo ... lol

I'd be a bit disappointed. I prefer if they stay third party, floating from publisher to publisher.

Betrayed......hurt........empty.....

I'd be kind of sad. It'd limit what they can do.

Quite ecstatic given how much money Nintendo is sitting on and how almost nobody else gives a shit about Platinum.

Lord knows Nintendo need it.

Nintendo is footing the bill for the game to be made in the first place. It willnever see the light of day on a platform Nintendo doesn't want it on. Bayonetta the brand could end up elsewhere, but that would require a different publisher, and Sega already gave up on the franchise.

Might as well just get a Wii U and suck it up, Bayonetta won't be on anything else for a very long time, especially if it is at all successful on a Nintendo platform.

I like the idea of nintendo buying Platinum Games. A two way street for potential new ip exclusives, or sequels from either Platinum's library or possibly Nintendo's.

I'd be less able to purchase their games.

I wouldn't care as long as they don't touch Mario. Mario is the only series I like or care about on the Nintendo and wouldn't want platinum games to mess it up.

Nintendo should hold on tight, like they should have done with Rare.

I like Vanquish so it would be annoying.

Pretty indifferent. I don't really care for anything Platinum have made.

I'd be good with that. Nintendo and platinum games seem like a perfect fit.

I really like games by platinum... I already planned on getting a Wii U first, but ninty taking over platinum games would make me buy one faster.

Nintendo would finally have a team that makes more unique games, or take proven concepts and put their own twists on them. A major improvement over their current studios.

I wouldn't care.

I would feel more confident that purchasing the Wii U is a good decision, that's for sure. I like seeing some of the derps in the thread admitting they don't care about the games. its like they get a weird sense of pride out of avoiding Nintendo.

dat necro

The only game from them that I enjoyed was Bayonetta. Everything else ranged from so-so to mediocre. With that being said, I think the likelihood of Nintendo investing any further into a company that produced a commercial bomb on their dime is unlikely. We'd sooner see a f-zero game than a new platinum game announced exclusively for Wii-U in the future.

I'm already upset Bayenetta 2 isn't multiplatform, please don't make it worse.

:(

Nintendo should absolutely buy Platinum Games. It's beneficial for both companies.

I said this right before the Wii U launched. What are you waiting for, Nintendo?

I'd stop buying games made by them

@n00bproof: i think it would be an awesome fit. Nintendo needs more adult/action games and they have the money and Platinum needs someone they can trust

Why would a dev like Platinum go anywhere near Mario? They make action games, not platformers or RPGs

The only Nintendo IPs I can imagine Platinum working on are Metroid (in an Other M style game.. except done right), Kid Icarus, and maybe Sin and Punishment. and maybe helping to improve the combat in Zelda. none of Nintendo's other IPs are good fits for Platinum.

@Sword-Demon: Some devellopers like to challenge themselves by trying something new. I'm not a fan of platinum games, I dislike every game they made and Mario is the only franchise I care about from Nintendo, well there is pokemon, but to a lesser degree.

Pretty pleased. They should pick up the Okami IP from Capcom while they're at it.

Eh. I don't see why they'd need another Zelda-eque game, given that they already have Zelda. I would rather leave Capcom with that franchise to leave the Capcom style of things on the franchise.

@da_illest101: They'd still need Nintendo's permission, and I don't see that happening

Platinum has never messed up anything though.
