Come on Nintendo, step in!! Lets have another Bayonetta 2 moment

that moment is called Bayonetta 3

That's like the one game. The ONE game that would make me buy a Switch. I hope it doesn't happen.

 

Yet I still want the game. Weird.

Really bad news for Platinum.Layoffs are probably coming and this will greatly impact their reputation.

Not sure about that. Eurogamer says "It's unclear whether Scalebound could still be revived by Platinum". This sentence makes me think that Platinum owns the IP and will decide the future of the game...

MS owns the IP. What a waste imo this is BS.

If this is really true ... wow ... incredible !!! That sucks @ Microsoft.
I see one thing and speak my thoughts.: Xbox One: Features Features and all games on PC. PS4: Games Games and many Exclusives. This feeling conveys Microsoft. Exactly that is the reason why an Xbox for me no longer comes into question. So...my tip: Xbox Onlys, buy a PS4 and have fun with all the japanese games and blockbuster! It's time to put a sign - for the gamers!

Not a huge fan of JP games when i get a PS4 it will be mostly for western games.

I wouldn't be so harsh on platinum games.  Their ps4 console exclusive Nier is looking amazing and is due to release soon.  They've proven they can make games properly. 

I doubt Neir is as big as Scalebound. They can make smaller games like ninja turtles, neir beyo but games like Scalebound seems to much for them.

More likely the amount of games they have in development along with Scalebound. Just now they have 4 or did have 4.

If I´m not mistaken, MS owns the IP.

I'd rather have Vanquish 2. In any case, I feel bad for Kamiya and PG.

Rumors say it is a Switch exclusive

Timed exclusive to the NeoGeo, actually. 

Check your facts sir. 

Humbug! An inside licker said this is gonna be a launch title for the Sega Hyper Hopecaster 256X CD.

But I know I'm supposed to take a leak with a grain of salt....

Confirmed by Microsoft to Windowscentral: http://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-exclusive-scalebound-has-been-canceled

After careful deliberation, Microsoft Studios has come to the decision to end production for "Scalebound." We're working hard to deliver an amazing lineup of games to our fans this year, including "Halo Wars 2," "Crackdown 3," "State of Decay 2," "Sea of Thieves" and other great experiences. For more information on our 2017 plans, please visit: https://news.xbox.com/2017/01/05/xbox-closes-milestone-year-in-2016/.

Windowscentral isn't a legitimate source around these parts 😒

Pretty awful statement. "Game cancelled. 4 games incoming this year."

They don't even try to soften the blow, to sell anything, or at least to appear a bit apologetic.
