Seems like a smashing success. I have the game on the WiiU. Never resonated with me personally, but happy to see it get some more love. Just hope Platinum delivers and don't end up becoming like Mighty No. 9 or Shenmue 3.

Just wanted to discuss colours, nothing to do with colors.

Fucking tencent. Theyre gonna own the whole industry soon...

Around $1.16 Million.

In this case we pretty much know what the final product will be like. The content itself is good, so it's just a matter of not fucking up the port.

Generally, investments come with strings attached, not just "do whatever you want with it".
I like this part of the interview in particular:
It seems surprising that Nintendo has allowed the game to appear on other platforms. Why is that?
Kamiya: We don’t really know! (Laughs) They were really nice about it.
Inaba: Platinum has a really good relationship with Nintendo. We’ve been with Nintendo from the very beginning and we’ve released a lot of games with them, including Astral Chain which recently released and was a big success. So I think it’s largely thanks to our relationship with Nintendo that they kind of decided to give us a break. I think it’s our history that it’s largely attributed to. We were quite surprised ourselves. This is usually not something that is allowed in the games industry. We see it as a very unique opportunity that Nintendo has given us and we’re pleased to have it.

Been said before but this seems to confirm. Nintendo values PG a lot and will do anything to keep good relations with them, even if it means doing this one odd off-kilter thing.

Sounding like excellent progress.

I agree. It's a win-win situation for Nintendo since they already had little faith in the IP: if it fails, they still gain a lot of goodwill with Platinum for no effort or cost and if it succeeds, they can still finance an exclusive sequel.
