If they go into Japan then they have to go all in, there are not that many independent studios in Japan atm.

They have to go after either Cyberconnect or Platinum maybe even both. I know that many here want Mistwalker but that isn’t going to work at all.

Buy White Owls, Grounding Inc, Platinum Games, JP Games, Mistwalker /s

I agree with you, they definitely need to go big, Platinum would be perfect for that, I just don't know how it would realistically happen, and not because they cancelled Scalebound cause that doesn't really mean anything in business, but because I just can't see how Microsoft would pull them away from Nintendo...They seem pretty close to Nintendo and are practically being bank rolled by them, Lol.

Regarding Mistwalker, I was doing some digging, are they even based in Japan anymore? I remember reading that Sakaguchi actually lives in Hawaii and it seems like Mistwalkers HQ is in Hawaii too now...Kinda makes me think Mistwalker is even less likely...buying a Japanese studio that's HQ'd in Hawaii...Lmao.

Platinum have always been a Mercenary studio for hire, If MS promises creative freedom with proper funding then it could happen since Nintendo would never attempt to buy them it’s not what they do.

Its my biggest pipe dream and I would forever be a fan of MS pulls it off.

Mistwalker have never developed games besides mobile games, Feelplus was literally created by MS for Lost Odyssey. MS would never consider Mistwalker at all.
