@Tasuki TBH, I don't recall Bayonetta 2 sales, and I didn't expect it to have done very well due to the Wii U's limited install base. And I expected Transformers to sell regardless of how good the game was due to brand power, and it seems to be based on an older transformer series, so nostalgia too. I expected Transformers to be good though, because it was made by Platinum.
FIrst off, I'm sorry, this is my third time replying to this. I already replied to only Sammy and ShogunJump, but my post didn't take the first time. Just shrugged it off, typed it out again, sent and closed the tab.
What I was told about the Platinum Curse was back before Bayonetta 2 was released, and that was that Platinum Games makes great games, but they never sell. Third time quoting this now, "The majority of their games are good-to-awesome, no? They just sell like crap!"
The Platinum Curse is just that their games don't sell. I never said that the games are bad. I wasn't even aware that The Legend of Korra was even made by Platinum, or that it was bad.
@shogunrok "Essentially, Ito confirms that there are no first=party Vita games in production." Your 3rd paragraph seems to have an unneeded equal sign. Perhaps you hit something other than backspace?
@charlesnarles No problem! Only reason I know that is because Kojima said it in some interview months ago. I believe its when he had to ask a translator to speak to Quiet in a cutscene that Kojima commented on this.
@charlesnarles The Shrapnel in his head damaged the part of his brain that allowed him to speak different languages. That means he can't speak or understand Russian, Spanish, or any of the other languages The Boss taught him.
Needless to say, I'll be getting my interpreters as soon as I can, because I want to know what my enemy is saying.
@brendon987 They won't due that due to the costs it would take to make the game. Unless you want to see it plastered in ads and the only way to remove those adds is paying to remove them, at whatever price the dev would decide.
@XD375 THANK YOU! You just made my year! Now all I want is a release date on Episode III. I don't care if it sells at a full retail price, being able to play again as Knuckles in a Sonic Platfomer.... Thanks.
This means there will be a "Sonic & Knuckles" game right?
@James I looked at the Valentines day publishing date on the review, so thats why i thought that. Also I meant you almost always review all of the Sonic games, but you were on vacation (holiday) for Triple Trouble! I remember your comment on the issue, but i have another question, how could you review a US game on a Pal system anyway? Triple Trouble wasn't released for another 2 weeks! Didn't it have to be a US reviewer anyway?

Re: Cowabunga! Platinum Games Developed TMNT Title Steps Out of Its Shell
I am extremely curious to see what kind of game this will turn out to be, and I also hope that the game will avoid the Platinum Curse.
Re: Review: Super Star Wars (PS4)
Feels odd reading a review for an SNES game on the PS4.
Excellent review though.

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 3.10 Brings New Features
@get2sammyb Is it unusual that I find the picture to this article humorous? That you are advertising NintendoLife's community instead of PushSquare's?
Re: Black Ops III Will Apparently Feature the Most Complex Narrative of Any Call of Duty
The story to CoD will never be as complicated as the MGS Franchise.

@Corbs Nice to see you, and I enjoy your work in NF Magazine!
Re: Capcom Says Street Fighter V Will Always Be a PS4 Console Exclusive, Even With Future Re-Releases
I'd be concerned if there wasn't going to be a Super Street Fighter V. Capcom not making numerous editions of their games is sign for alarm.

Calling it.

Re: Feature: What Are September 2014's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
I bought PS All Stars discounted at 9.99, so I'm good.
Re: PlayStation Boss Gets Punished for All of E3's Boring Bits This Year
@adf86 Huh... the NL editors.... but which one, @ThomasBW84, @Damo, @ant, definitely not @tbd.
Probably Anthony Dickens.
Would be interesting to see Nlife Ltd. do this.

Re: Sonic CD
So is this just a Sonic CD port then, judging from the screenshots i would say so...

Re: Review: Sonic Generations (PlayStation 3)
nintendolife user here,
@James why didn't you review this game? Do you not review every Sonic game over here?
