It would be so weird if it is true. Why would Nintendo want 2 exclusive games from the same developer that (at least from videos) seems to play very alike?
My bad. I was just putting it out there
Hmm....
So what Alanah stated was true about hearing that last year. 🤔
Doesn't mean that rules out Scalebound. Jason AND Alanah both heard about the rumor of Scalebound coming to Switch last year
Well, he was the one that said we wont need to wait too much for a new Zelda on switch.
I mean we're getting Bayonetta and Astral chain. They'd be released a good year or more apart and Nintendo just wants schedule fillers.
if that happened then yeah but till then im writing Scalebound off tbh. Maybe something similar but just not being Scalebound proper but yeah idk.
If you don't mind (or better, regardless of whether you mind it or not), I'll doubt whatever I feel like doubting.
Even when you have an internal source, it happens very often that you're offered a very partial view on the facts, often vague, and things get even more muddled if the source is second-hand, which is unknown.
Why would they do that when they can just fund a spiritual successor and reap all the benefits with no strings attached?
Bizarre. So it's not out the question then. Mmm. Could have been wishful thinking too right?
On the other hand, we had another tweet telling us that Scalebound would still release. I mean, hearing a similar rumour last year.
It does make a lot of sense, and if you think about it: Kamyia isn't the Supervisor of this project for no specific reason lol.
No thanks. Or at least, let's not talk about that until VJ4.
We got Bayo and/or W101 as being more than effective means of continuing Joe's legacy in 3D. I would rather a VJ3 does more to pick up where the first two left off.
Right, see my previous post. I heard the rumor last year and assumed after seeing Astral Chain in the Direct that it had turned into that.
I'm not saying it rules it out, I'm just saying that people should be cautious about the sourcing before writing Scalebound Switch as a de facto thing that will definitively happen. Point being, even Imran wasn't 100% confident enough to write on it unless he knew he had more sources backing him up.
Also, just because that was also a rumour last year, doesn't mean anything really. How many times did we hear Final Fantasy VII remake rumours (ranging from "it's happening" to "well it'll only happen if Square Enix went broke") during the PS3 era before they finally announced something in 2015?
Nah, I've sold the console. I'm back if it looks good and has a set release date for the PS5.
Halo wars 2, state of decay 2, crackdown 3, and sea of thieves
Maaaaaan...when I think about how hype MvC3/UMvC3's promos were in comparison to Infinite's, I just get sad.
Sea of Thieves released in march 2018.
Cuphead was 2017 tho
Edit : nevermind, just saw crackdown too. You're talking about the line up before delay
"No way DQXI is coming to Switch. Switch probably wouldn't be able to run it without downgrading stuff, Square Enix must be making something else."
Just saying - I don't get this logic. If there's already been tons of design work done on it, nothing says they can't "downgrade" the game and still release a very good product, all at a much lower cost than had they started on something from scratch.
It means that this thread is now about Imran's rumor and someone else's "article" based on "sources" that don't seem all that solid to me. It's my impression that they're simply piggybacking on Imran's rumor with additional speculation for clicks. But now that it has been added to the OP, the thread is about both.
That should be pretty obvious with a rumor though. I don't see many people in here like "Omg, Scalebound confirmed". At least not seriously, anyway.
This thread has basically derailed into "What if Scalebound is back but Nintendo exclusive?"
Why would someone say "Scalebound is coming back" about Astral Link?
I'm sorry but Scalebound makes 0 sense for me. Like Kamiya and Ms legit said "fuck off" to each other and you expect him to come back and try to make a deal happen between Nintendo and Ms.
I mean just ask Nintendo to fund a game based on the same concept. Way less work and I'm sure it would end up better.

Yeah. The rumor said how the game was back on the Xbox site or something and that it was gonna come out after all. Something along those lines I believe.
If it's truly Switch exclusive now I really wonder about the details.
Goodwill for allowing a game that they originally promised to get made, even if they aren't personally profiting from them. Everyone would be happy except Xbox-only games who love Japanese games, who don't exist.
Because Astral Link could easily be defined Scalebound's spiritual successor, at least from what we have heard so far.
Now that Jason Schreier posted here, we actually know that it's indeed true that some people actually heard about Scalebound on Switch. Could be fake, but at least we know it's not really piggybacking since Jason confirmed there was indeed those rumors.
I don't care about you doubting the rumor. All I'm saying is don't doubt Imran. But he hasn't said anything, so I'm about as doubtful on this rumor as you are.
True, but now we have potentially 3 people who heard about this rumor (Alanah Peace, Imran and Jason), so something is up with this rumor.
Either Astral Chain is the new Scalebound OR it's still being discussed/developed by Microsoft/Nintendo/Platinum Games. Nobody knows yet
Except that they didn't say this? In fact I recall Kamiya standing up for MS actually when someone said something negative about MS on Twitter to him.
Title is misleading, I would have quoted the "very officially cancelled" part personally
Scalebound is good and all, but I want my MegaMan Legends 3 more than anything on that list tbh.
I would say how Scalebound getting cancelled was 100x friendly than Cygames announcement, or Kamiya would just trash talk MS in twitter, not something like thiks:
Yo don't try to break my heart again if it isn't Scalebound.
What if it is Megaman Legends 3? Although not officially announced, the 3DS demo was announced, and Capcom is definitely working on a Megaman title this year. Would be awesome.
Edit:
Great minds.

Those are old rumors. They don't seem to have anything to do with Nintendo Insider's "Sources"
