I think this tweet sums it up best, in case this is true



But in all seriousness as much as I would like to be this game that Nintendo is reviving, I seriously doubt it. The frame rate was pretty rough even on the Xbox One and would require (no pun intended) some serious scale-down in order to run on the Switch.

More like Nintendo and Platinum would have an even bigger L after Microsoft's lawyers finished with them.  

If Microsoft owns the IP then that's not going to happen unless Microsoft agrees to sell it.  Even then, why?  It's not like it's an IP that's worth anything.  Way smarter to just make something like Scalebound but with different details.  

Actually, from what I remember of the trailers, it would probably be smarter to not make something like that.  It never looked good.

MS has been one of the best developers on the Switch so far.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

All I'm going to say is: No.

Interesting, Alanah Pearce (former IGN writer and currently works for Rooster Teeth) just tweeted this.

 

EDIT more from Alanah.

Oh sweet Jesus I hope this is true. This was one of the biggest things that made me jealous of XBO owners, and then it was cancelled. I'd love to see it become another gem of a Platinum title saved from the trash by Nintendo. If this is true and it goes on to sell well, Nintendo should just buy Platinum already.

Edit: Lol, I just realized the title says Report, not Rumor. I read it as Rumor at first. Well I'd still call it a rumor. I don't care how good these sources are, anything this big I want to hear straight from the big N officially, or from Platinum.

If this is true, how much longer until Nintendo just buys Platinum?

Man I hope this goes through. Same with some of the other Mistwalker projects.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I'm cool with that as long as it will be closer to the original game we saw minus the awkward multiplayer.

If this is true, I wouldn't shock if the 4 player co-op gets scrapped. That seemed more like a Microsoft idea rather then Platinum's.

Pretty big if true, doubt it though. MS would have to actually sell or demand something else from Nintendo and would either party want that

Hopefully this is just a rumor and nothing else. Scalebound just looked less and less good with each trailer they released. I don't think the significant decrease in visuals would make it more appealing either...

That's because MS made changes to the game for a start it was never meant to be multiplayer that is something MS forced.
