With PlatinumGames celebrating its tenth anniversary, Japanese magazine Famitsu has a big feature about the studio in its latest issue, including an interview with several staff members. It focuses more on the developer as a whole rather than specific games. There are some interesting Nintendo-related bits from the discussion though.

Hideki Kamiya has only made two games in the last ten years at Platinum. Of course, those are Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101. Kamiya created the original Bayonetta with the following prerequisites: make an original game with hardware you’re touching for the first time with no library, no resources, and no game engine. He wanted to have it published in three years.

Last month, we found out that The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 would be coming to Wii U. Amazon UK listed the game for release on March 22. We knew it would be heading to North America as well thanks an ESRB rating – we just didn’t know when.

GameFly is now one of the first retailers to have officially listed the Wii U version of The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 in North America. Assuming it’s accurate (and right now we have no reason to believe otherwise), we’ll be seeing the title in North America on March 22 as well.

In Famitsu last week, Niantic went more in-depth with the origins of Pokemon GO. The magazine caught up with Setsuto Murai, representative president of Niantic Japan and Kento Suga, marketing manager of Niantic Japan.

As has been mentioned before, you could say that the concept was born after Google teamed up with The Pokemon Company for an April Fools event back in 2014. Murai and Suga touch on this, and then explain how things carried on from there.

Head past the break for our full translation.
