And Platinum *just* recently left Granblue Relink, so that had to be keeping them busy.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
If a buddy of mine and I want to go half-and-half on an online family membership, how easy will it be to separate our switches completely after that if we decide to get our own memberships, or if one of us doesn’t want to renew in a year but might want to start a separate membership again in the future, etc?

by all accounts I don't think Platinum is like, an indie studio incapable of doing multiple things but I also really doubt Scalebound is the resurrected game. I'm almost certain there was a thing Kamiya said about not being able to use the work they did on it elsewhere but maybe I'm wrong.

Surprisingly Bayo3 is STILL scheduled for 2019 which would make this a huge year for Switch as if it wasn't already stuffed enough

Platinum would deffo be stretching themselves quite thin; but I think it's doable if the granblue re:link thing was scheduled tight for two years or however long they were involved, the mobile games were made with a new small group made internally for phone games and Scalebound is reusing a lot of what was achieved when it was being developed. And Babylon Fall being pretty far away.

Whomever the family admin is can boot people out of it. I imagine at that point they revert to normal accounts that can do their own thing.

Historically, platinum is only capable of developing one A-grade quality game at a time so I hope those resources go in to Bayonetta instead of the other ones. I’d also like to be proven wrong and see their new IPs do well.

The licensed stuff was a desperate bid to keep themselves above water with quick-and-easy projects while Microsoft was trying damned hard to kill the studio with Scalebound.

None of those are being published by anyone who cares less than Activision did about it's ips. You can blame kora, tmnt and transformers flaws on the lack of fucks they gave, ie no budget.

Not even their ips, more like cartoons they could license for cheap and farm out to some other developer.

All accounts about Scalebound could pretty much be summed up as "Microsoft hosed us over repeatedly and drat-near killed us". They'd be dead and gone as a studio were it not for Nier Automata.

Pretty sure MS westernized the gently caress out of kamiya's original design. Since it'll have to be made from scratch, if it does appear it'll be way faster and more mechanically diverse.

Not quite "from scratch". They've probably still got all the modelling and terrain assets, and probably a pre-"we have some thoughts/focus-group results..." build somewhere.

Any thoughts on what might cause one joycon to not charge while the other does?

I took my Switch off its dock for the first time in a while because I was getting ready to do the shell swap, but I noticed that the left Joycon was reading with just a sliver of red in the battery status. The right Joycon is fully charged.

The left one works fine when physically attached to the Switch, but it doesn't appear to be actually charging because if I remove it from the system, it disappears from the controller menu.

When I then reattach it, after a few seconds it reappears on the controller screen, still reading barely charged.

I tried unpairing all the controllers, but as soon as I put it on it reads low power again.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

The worst thing about Scalebound is that what they were showing people behind closed doors was not the same thing they were touting on stage. Microsoft and Platinum Games had completely different ideas on what the game should have been and their public and private demonstrations were very different.

Given that they've started and stopped development on it about three times now, Scalebound seems like a game Platinum is determined to finish someday. Wonder how it'll look if this latest rumor is real?

It's a known flaw. I put the joycon on and power down the system completely. Make sure the con is connected before powering down, the rails are really dumb and loose. Then start it back up and it should be more or less resynced to charge. I'd also recommend buying a separate joycon charger so you know when it's the system messed up and not the joycon actually low on power as the sleep function messes with the internal charging meter.

Hmm...

I attached the joycon to the console, waited until it actually appeared in the controller screen, then rebooted.

Upon reboot, the joycon is no longer listed as attached in the controller screen, but after a few seconds it does light up and reappear.

I wish there was a way to tell if the thing was actually charging, or just "being recognized" by the console. Light, have the bar animate or a lightning bolt icon or something.
