Inaba on Multiplatform Astral Chain: "Too Early to Say"
- Thread starter Jawbreaker

Astral Chain is succesful, I don't know if Nintendo would let that one go easily.
But weirder things happened anyway.

Astral Chain and W101 are vastly different situations. One was a flop and one was a success that's already gotten talk of a sequel.
in another answer they talked about nintendo cutting them a deal for the 101 ip, so if this multiplat venture is a success, they'll probably try to get another deal.
It sounds like it's not out of the question.
past nintendo would have probably laughed them off the office at the idea, but new nintendo is strange, so who knows
I'd like to think that Astral Chain would end up 60fps wherever else it landed, but I'm with ya. I want mouse support, lol. Sounds crazy but I rigged up my own mouse and keyboard control scheme when I played the game, and controlling the Legion with a mouse felt just right, like I was controlling a cursor on-screen. I could maneuver through and chain. enemies without a second thought.
How? To me it seems the exat opposite because who decides that is Nintendo
It sounds like it's not out of the question.
They also say in the very next paragraph that it's Nintendo's call and not PG. Curious that you didn't put that in OP Jawbreaker
Ask Nintendo. It's not happening.

Paradoxically, the more successful the Kickstarter of W101, the more money Nintendo will ask for by Astral Chain. W101 sold 200K, Astral Chain has already sold more than one million.
This literally sounds like it's out of the question when you look at the next question OP. In the same interview they dodged the question about the IP ownership for Wonderful 101.

That was a pretty good read, Nintendo seems to be pretty chill to work with.
Here it is, put that in the OP before people get misinformed and start port beggingThey also say in the very next paragraph that it's Nintendo's call and not PG. Curious that you didn't put that in OP Jawbreaker

Game was a lot of fun, and I really hope a sequel comes and kinks out some flaws and is a huge jump!
It probably won't be for a while, if ever. In the case of W101, Nintendo was unhappy with the sales and sold the full rights back to Platinum, which is why they are now Kickstarting a re-release for self-publishing. Astral Chain sold pretty well, so I doubt Nintendo will let go of the reins here.
With the way this answer is worded i don't think it has much less chance of happening tbh. Nintendo has shown flexibility in letting PC ports being made of its funded games. I wouldn't be surprised if its just an extended period of time which is the difference between Daemon x Machina and astral chain's release time between switch and PC ports.
Nintendo doesn't own DxM, they own AC and it was a success for them. TW101 had no value to them.

If that was in the OP there would be no discussion.
They partially own astral chain and not fully which means that its fully out of the picture. The rest of the bit i said in the above comment is just my speculation like with any other timed exclusive hunch i've had from console to PC in the past.

Oh ok but me mentioning that was just the time difference I wanted to state between nintendo's timed console exclusives and probable PC ports.
I would have laughed at the idea before the W101 Kickstarter
Still don't think it will happen but you never know

Who knows? It all depends on the relationship between Nintendo and PG. They might do more of the deals or they might not. But I certainly hope we won't get dozens of thread port-begging for Nintendo IPs on other consoles now.
Yeah, I think they allowed W101 because they didn't want to do anything with the IP. I can definitely see Nintendo wanting to continue the Astral Chain IP, and so I doubt they will give the go-ahead for a multiplat port.
Not at all. NoA/NoE published the game in the west but the game was developped and funded by Marvelous (and they self published the game in Japan, and now on Steam).
They published it in the West, but they don't own the IP like they do with W101 and Astral Chain. It's possible that DxM had a timed exclusivity deal in exchange for publishing by Nintendo in the West.
I can see Nintendo being cool with a PC port, in all honesty. We're seeing MS and Sony allowing for PC ports of 1st party non-internal games and I wouldn't be shocked if Nintendo followed suit, but not so much any other platform. TW101 is a bit of a special case

I think that about wraps this up.
If there is new news about Nintendo changing their stance on this, feel free to create a new thread.
