Nintendo hasn’t been making a lot of waves in terms of the “big acquisitions” that its rivals Sony and Microsoft are doing. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have good relationships with other dev teams. In fact, one of its best relationships comes from Platinum Games. The company behind the upcoming Bayonetta 3 is legendary for its action and stories, and the Nintendo Switch has had a few of its titles come around.
Now, a former member of Nintendo in Yakao Yamane has gotten hired by Platinum, and CEO Atsushi Inaba is teasing that it could lead to a new dynamic with The Big N:
“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.”
Here’s hoping we get more of their games on Switch sooner rather than later!
