Online gaming site VGC recently caught up with the talented team at Platinum Games who have just released NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition on the Nintendo Switch via Virtuos Games. The team were asked about their all-important relationship with Nintendo which will see Bayonetta 3 finally launch this October. Platinum Games president and CEO, Atsushi Inaba, said that the relationship with the Kyoto-based company remains very important to them now and also moving into the future. It will be interesting to see which franchise Platinum Games handles next. Bayonetta 3 launches on Nintendo Switch on 28th October.
You already have a strong history of partnering with Nintendo. Could Yamane’s appointment bring that relationship even closer?
Inaba: Well obviously, Yamane didn’t leave Nintendo on bad terms at all and this partnership that we have with Nintendo is very important to us right now and will be moving forward. I think with Yamane-san joining us here, PlatinumGames can definitely build an even stronger relationship with Nintendo moving forward. That can only be a positive thing for PlatinumGames. So yeah, we’re very glad to have him on board.
