The above is a tweet spotted by Tmann26, we are all curious as to whether it is simply a Bayo promotion, or if it is something along the lines of a new collaboration between Platinum and Nintendo beyond Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101.
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
In a wide-ranging interview with IGN, game developer legend Hideki Kamiya reveals why he left Bayonetta maker PlatinumGames and what's next.
Long shot here but with him out of the picture... MS could get PG to finish Scalebound. As it is, the project was shelved and Ms still had all the work they had done up to that point. HK's mismanagement of multiple projects is what caused MS to pull the plug, but I feel they still wanted to get it done at some point.
“My work with Platinum Games was based on a relationship of trust with the company. I decided to leave because I felt that the direction the company was heading in was different from my beliefs as a developer. Without that element of trust, I couldn’t continue working there, and so I left, so that I could continue working in what I consider to be the right way.
“I don't think of games as products, but rather as works of art. I want to put my artistry into games and deliver games that could only be made by Hideki Kamiya, so that players can enjoy Hideki Kamiya games exactly as they are. I decided to leave the company and forge my own path, to continue making games that reflect the developers who made them.”
Hideki Kamiya will be leaving PlatinumGames on October 12, 2023.
Phil better have that check ready. Hideki expertise and knowledge would be a great asset to the Xbox team and can possibly bring growth in the Asia region.
How sudden, I wonder what changed.
Maybe after the certain story choices and direction for Bayonetta 3 they can hopefully make it more like the first two games.
i've always felt platinum games lack of growth/failures can be traced back to kamiya. He seems like a very troublesome person to work with
Lol, no. They were making a joke.
I doubt Nintendo has any intention to partner with Platinum anymore, their games didn't sell very well. Maybe on Star Fox... but probably not.
We probably won't see another Platinum-developed title on Wii U. Kamiya is working on Scalebound while Hashimoto is supposedly handling that new PS4 project. Scalebound probably won't even be out this year.
If this were true, then it looks like people who want a 2D Metroid game will have to be happy with Axiom Verge. On the plust side, Axiom Verge is a great game. If Nintendo doesn't want to make a good Metroid game any longer, others will.
So how do we stop this
Well that would be really cool. They've worked with Nintendo before and have built a great relationship with them and platinum are also quite skilled at what they do and if this is true it would mean working on 3 titles at once. scalebound, metroid and the rumored MGS:Rising2.
