Platinum is considering being a Second Party for Nintendo.

Im sure if platinum had a 'retro' type relationship with nintendo, big things would ensue.
I'd say nintendo judge pg more for the quality of their games and their reputation rather than their sales record...and presumably their potential to work with some nintendo ips (don't forget platinum also made the viewtiful joe games and the original okami, when they were clover, both of which were pretty nintedoish, so its stupid to say they only make mature/non nintendo style games)

I said they have a reputation of making original IPs AND violent/mature games. And they do

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum_Games#Games_developed

+MadWorld_ original IP, violent/mature

+Infinite Space_original IP. Space Sim/RPG

+Bayonetta_ original IP, violent/mature

+Vanquish_ original IP, violent/mature

+Anarchy Reigns_ unofficial sequel to MadWorld. Violent/mature.

+Metal Gear Rising: Revengance_ hired by Konami. Violent/mature

+The Wonderful 101_ original IP. "Kiddy" appearance

+Bayonetta 2_ sequel. Violent/mature

 

One think is what they did at Clover, and another is what they have done as Platinum.

Wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular (a few people in this thread have suggested platinum only make mature games)...i was Merely attempting to demonstrate that the concept of platinum  developing 'less mature' games (the type some would tend to associate with Nintendo  ie of 'kiddie' or cartoonie appearance) wouldn't be against their principles or against their ideology as game developers. 

Was really just saying Nintendo buying out platinum isn't as ludicrous a proposition as it might appear to some on the surface, esp if you know the company's history.
