It's not just Switch.The Wonderful 101 being ported to anything except Switch would be strange since that'd imply they bought the rights back from Nintendo. I get that they're bullish about making the revival happen but I don't think even Platinum would waste their capital to drag the IP out of that stranglehold when it has the most extreme of niche appeal. At best I suspect Nintendo will just let them port it to Switch, while the multi-platform strategy remains original IP.
PC? or other consoles too?
That's a weird thing for Nintendo to allow, or did PlatinumGames actually buy back the IP from them?
They won't. They're a better partner than Game Freak. 🙃

That's actually a good point, Switch/PC it is then.Looking at Octopath, they might be okay with a PC port. If they still have the partial ownership.
they had no ownership over octopath, just publishing rights in the west (and exclusivity for a year)Looking at Octopath, they might be okay with a PC port. If they still have the partial ownership.

This is some unprecedented stuff.
AFAIK the only other game that Nintendo co-owns that went multiplat was the multiplayer part of Devil's Third. Usually it's stuff that they publish in one region like Ninja Gaiden 3 and Octopath Traveller.
Tencent games platform exclusive.
Nice! The more the merrier. You know the platforms for the other multiplatform titles? (As a Switch only should I care?)

Interesting to see what they'll manage to make with this financial backing.
Quick fact-sheet for the newcomers who might be about to experience The Wonderful 101 for the first time:
- The true masterpiece of the world's greatest living video game director
- The longest video game ever made. There's a level in the ice late in the game that is actually longer than the entire game that contains it
- Those vague memories you have of it being described as DMC meets Pikmin meets Punch-Out meets meets meets? Yes.
- "The Wonderful 101 will release on August 23rd" - Hideki Kamiya
- Buy Unite Spring and Unite Guts ASAP
- Do you eat shit?
Wouldn't be the first time Nintendo sells back the rights to a game for multiplatform publishing though.
See Lego City Undercover.

Now this is true. Game is like 15-20 hours long and it basically stays at the level of "final level of metal slug 3" for the duration of the experience- The longest video game ever made. There's a level in the ice late in the game that is actually longer than the entire game that contains it
Huh didn't know about their ownership there but it's iffy since they don't own LEGO.
This is more from the ground up IP they co-own with third party devs like Sin & Punishment.
Lmao here we goI have the feeling Bayonetta 3 will end as multi platforms after first year.
How so?Took less than 3 years for Nintendo to say "fuck it, do whatever you want with this game, we're porting TMS instead".
edit:
Lmao here we go
If W101 can be multi, why no Bayonetta 3?
i mean you can speculate all you want, but nintendo didn't want to publish w101 on switch, they are going to publish bayo 3 (confirmed exclusive) for switch, and they're paying for the game to be made. not hard to see the difference. unless you think nintendo is going to publish the game on other platforms?
I have the feeling Bayonetta 3 will end as multi platforms after first year.
