IMO Hal Labs would be the kind of purchase Nintendo makes.  Kind of like Next Level, closely tied to Nintendo over the years, makes great games for their systems, and had “Nintendo DNA”

HAL is safe bet I think. Platinum makes hits and misses so they are risky. Bayonetta and Astral Chains were really high quality series, whereas Starfox Zero and Wonderful 101 were duds imo. Too risky for Nintendo, as much as I'd love for them to utilize Platinum on other ips they already own.

As much as it hurts to say, but I think Miyamotos involvement is to blame for Star Fox Zero being subpar. Nintendo since put him on the sidelines.

Wonderful 101 was a good game, it might have fell in a weird position on WiiU and overall wasn't finding much reception. But it was a cool concept and shows the creativity in Platinum.
