Platinum and Nintendo, sitting in a tree - "We are very interested in 3DS!"

[JWeinCom]

I get the feeling Platinum games may be on the way to becoming a second party developer, and that's a good thing. Platinum Games is probably the best developer in Japan right now, but they've always struggled in marketing. Hopefully, Nintendo could help them in that regard.

As for their 3DS game, I doubt it would happen, but I'd love to see Platinum games work on the Kid Icarus franchise. I love Kid Icarus Uprising, and with Sakurai working on Smash Bros, a sequel seems unlikely. With their experience in action games, I think Platinum games could make an incredible sequel.
