Platinum Games explains Bayonetta 3’s E3 no-show

which honestly I'm okay with cause it would have been buried in 2019 and early 2020. I wouldn't be surprised if Square just sits on it and puts it out in like late spring-summer 2020.
That was where they first announced it if I remember right? I could see that, would be a good return.
No point in overshadowing Astral Chain which looks awesome.
No shortage of games for Switch this year.

Well, on the bright side st least we know its coming.
Imagine them making Bayo 3 internally and we wouldn't anything by now :^( that would suck a lot. At least the announcement says the series isn't dead like many gamers (wanted to) believed after coming to Nintendo/Wii U
I mean, it would be weird if Nintendo worked with them on Astral Chain and just brushed Bayonetta 3 under the rug like it never happened. I get the anxiety surrounding it but it is clear that it was simply announced way too early.
Take all the time you need platinum i can wait astral chain looks amazing and is enough to quench my platinum thirst for a while
It has to be either before march or one of the later months like September or October (but no November obv) 2 was released on October, AC on August so around that time makes sense.
Oh i meant if they never announced it early on the switch life, same with MP4 i guess, at least we know they are coming, but Bayo would be easier to believe its dead than Metroid, it always has fans asking for Metroid even when Nintendo itself doesn't want to make them at times
Nintendo's 2020 is probably mapped out very nicely now.
Animal Crossing - March 2020
Bayonetta 3 - June 2020
EAD Tokyo Mario - September 2020
Zelda BOTW 2 - November 2020
Could work really well.
Luigi into December 2019 and AC into 2020, even though it sucks for AC fans, spreads the wealth nicely.
Ah yes, that is true. Bayonetta fans have been disproportionately lucky in this regard. The series is now getting its second unlikely sequel.
it's a weird thing. Our expectations are created by so many things outside our control. We assume negative or positive based on if we see a trailer or not. The trailer can be a good sign or can be a bad sign regardless of how good the trailer is. You can have an amazing trailer and all it means is a studio spent a year making a good trailer and have nothing of the game. It's just a total crapshoot. I'd rather have direct communication like that (actually a lot clearer, with more info) than trailers or screenshots or whatever.
and they still have potential ports like Xenoblade X ,3D world, Pikmin 3 , Metroid prime trilogy etc to fill in the gaps
Yup. I actually think for the first time in ... a long time, Nintendo may have a pretty solid 1 1/2 years of non-stop pretty high end releases every quarter going forward.
Some people may bemoan it too, but I think reusing the BOTW engine for a direct sequel also is a smart business move because it probably moves a new Zelda to market 18 months quicker than otherwise.
At this point i'm convinced those titles were greenlit a few months before E3 then announced there.
Yup. It was clearly announced early more as a way to hype up the Switch lineup. I don't think we'll see it until it's very close to release as most of Nintendo's other titles
Game development is always hard. Just hope it reappears next year or maybe in a Direct later this year.
Bayo 3 was announced at the Game Awards but you're right that they hadn't worked on it for very long by then.
Yup, I can't even be mad that Bayonetta is taking longer than I'd hoped cause astral chain looks amazing.
Haha, I think they should just grow it out and let it be free like Sindel...
Jeje, I was thinking the same thing. My dream E3 combo for next year no doubt.
VGAs 2019 might be a good time especially if Astral Chain gets a nomination or two
I know people are generally too quick to cry wolf, but to be fair it also really has been a while, and most publishers seems to be to trending toward having a year between reveal and release tops nowadays.
Definitely Bayo 3 -> MP4 -> SMTV
