Very weird of Nintendo to not just publish this themselves. I know it didn't sell that well on WiiU, but look at all the games that got a second life on the Switch!

Platinum are looking to go into self publishing and I assume they have say over publisher for a switch version.

This is totally unprecedented. Nintendo has never allowed something similar in its almost 40 years in the videogame industry.

Given the fact that the IP seems to still belong in part to Nintendo... will there still be a giant Nintendo banner at the beginning of the game on the PS4 version? Because that would be absolute madness xDDDDD

Has Nintendo ever co-owned an IP before?

Probably not cause they aren't publishing so no need for their name to be anywhere else but in the credits copyright, if they are still co-owners.

Hotel Dusk, Another Code, Another Code R and Last Window were co-owned by Nintendo and CING. But then CING went bankrupt... and Nintendo kept all of it. Not that it matters, because while CING was alive, it never developed a multiplatform game of any of these franchises...

I guess you are right. Just a mention at the end of the credits. But it would have been hilarious to see the game intro with that giant Nintendo banner on a PS4 xD
