Our friends at GameXplain got to talk to Atsushi Inaba and Hideki Kamiya about all sorts of Platinum Games topics, and we've put together a quick summary of some of the juiciest tidbits. Check out that recap below.
- Atsushi Inaba said there's never been a day where they didn't want to do a sequel to The Wonderful 101
- he says it would be nice if the day came when they could make a sequel, but it would be a challenge
- Platinum is interested in working with Nintendo again in the future
- Bayonetta 3 development is "going fine"
- no conversations have happened with Platinum about porting StarFox Zero to Switch
- due to the fan reaction to the dog in Project GG, there might be an expanded role for the dog in the full game
- Hideki Kamiya would love to see Amaterasu added to Smash Bros. Ultimate

One thing I've never understood about the uber-rich is why they all want to use their money for political bribery and paedophile/demon-worship rings instead of the actual important stuff: funding eccentric passion projects. If I had a billion dollars you'd better believe we'd be getting a Wonderful 102. I'm buying out whatever rights Nintendo still has and signing them over to Platinum, throwing enough cash at Kamiya and friends to finish a whole trilogy, and then just distributing it for every platform for free (because it's obviously not going to make money anyway :P).

In conclusion, I should be given a billion dollars.

Did they comment on when the 5th Platinum 4 announcement is happening? It has been so long at this point I'm convinced they just didn't expect the backlash and the 5th announcement is just whenever one of their publishers feels like announcing something.

Man, I really want Star Fox 0 on Switch.

Just get rid of that dumb control scheme and we are golden.

Still no Bayo 3 news other than it's fine.

I can't believe we'll get SMTV before Bayo 3.

Project GG? What the heck, why am I reading for the first time about this?
Just looked it up and the trailer is from February. Mind blown. Can't fucking wait woohooo!

I'd be funding space missions but yours is a close second!

Selfish me would be ecstatic about Wonderful 102 but they need to stop getting my hopes up. It's not happening.

Wish they would have asked about a remaster of anarchy reigns and a release of that on pc to be honest.

I'm starting to think Bayo 3 might be pushed to next gen switch with some other game taking its place, like Astral Chain 2

From the way Inaba puts it, it kind of sounds like Nintendo still own the TW101 IP to some extent despite their names being completely scrubbed from the Remaster.

Had to rewatch the Project GG trailer to remind myself of the dog. That is a good doggo.
They did mention that the pandemic did impact Bayo 3's development, which isn't a surprise.

I thought that was obvious. They never said "we own the IP" and stated that Project GG is their first fully owned self-published IP.

It's almost kinda sad how they so wanted Wonderful 101 to happen.

But it ain't ever gonna happen.

I hope Project GG goes much better for them.

Between Wonderful 102 and Amaterasu being in Smash, this interview is full of Things That Will Definitely (Not) Happen.

I legit doubt they'll found a sequel after giving away the IP and the game bombing twice.

Astral Chain 2 will probably be the next Platinum collaboration after Bayonetta 3 is released.

Honestly wouldn't be that shocked if they do something else (not w101) in between Bayo 3 and Astral Chain 2

I love W101 but, damn the game did terribly both chances it got.

To hell if I'm not having a blast playing through it on Switch though.

Can't watch but did they comment the kickstarter fiasco? I still yet have to recieve my game. Have had no update for over a month now...

I don't believe any dev hell rhetoric thrown at these guys. They showed the Bayo 3 teaser almost 3 years ago. There must be a reason they're holding out on even screenshots, let alone gameplay.

Sincerely hope that it doesn't get pushed to the Succ launch (2023), if the Switch doesn't get a Switch XL/Pro SKU next year.

Nice to hear Project GG's going on track. But what about Babylon's Fall? IIRC they said summer 2020 for more info.

no comments on the issues with the KS campaign

i suspect it was just announced way too soon, before they got into actual development. they just wanted to add something to the announcement of bayo 1+2 switch ports and made a short CG teaser trailer. 2017 was the launch year of switch and nintendo was eager to announce a bunch of stuff to assure people about the future of the platform. MP4 was probably announced too soon with just a logo because of the same reason.
