PlatinumGames has shared a lovely new video giving fans a tour of its headquarters in Osaka, Japan.
Getting the chance to have a good look around video game development studios is a rather rare treat, especially when they're as utterly glorious-looking as PlatinumGames' swanky pad of joy. The office is located in Osaka's Umeda Sky Building, which just so happens to be one of the world's more interesting buildings anyway, without having Platinum tucked away inside. Seriously, look at it.

If you haven't already watched the video by this point, expect to find fancy shots of the studio's entrance, work room, meeting rooms, sound studio, and library, as well as a surprising number of close-ups focusing on the wheels and bases of office chairs. Even the corridors look amazing, and we've never wanted to work there more.
Make sure to let us know your thoughts on the PlatinumGames office below; we'll just be over here working out how much it would cost to move Nintendo Life HQ next door. Constantly-cloudy England just doesn't cut it.

Time for a Nintendo Life office tour video?
I need to go to Japan someday
I've been to this building when I visit Japan in 2017. The floating escalator is cool, and great views from the top! I didn't realise this was Platinum Games' HQ.
Anyone else hopelessly analyzing the video to catch a glimpse of Bayonetta 3 on the developers' computers?
I don’t care about the tour, what I really want to know is whether Nier will come to Switch 😁
Wow. That sure is pretty.
Top place for a top company:)
I saw a lot of empty rooms and chairs where people should be working on Bayo3 and Babylon's Fall 😏
Now that they done with Granblue Fantasy - more time for them.
@ilikeike No, but I was staring at the Star Wars box on the shelf trying to figure out what game that was
Looks a bit sterile at times but generally pretty nice. It's no Google or Pixar though.
Unless Platinum owns the building itself there is really nothing stunning about
Wow, that's a nice work place. Looking at the overall view, it just reminds me that I need to get to Japan.
Also, I forgot that they made Infinite Space. That game got missed hard on DS and needs another release. Good under the radar game.
Time Nintendo made these guys an offer to buy them.
I wouldn't call it stunning, just nice.
I didn't realise they made 5 Wii U games. Starfox Guard was produced by Platinum as well?
I've always assumed Nintendo Life is written amid rolling hills from a grand old country pile by journalists lounging on chesterfield leather sofas.
Yes the building is very Platinum.
You want crazy stunning office? Google Google's office and see for yourself.
I’ve been living in Osaka for 15 years but I’ve never go up that building... just went once to the restaurants in the basement. It’s cool but not well connected.
Did they change office recently? Because a few years ago they had their office close to mine...
@Retupmocnin
I was going to Google Google, but was scared of getting stuck in some kind of a loop.
@Lionyone
No, I think that's just @alexolney. 😊
Oh hey, I've been there! Several times! ...The building, not the office.
Huh, interesting that the video has been removed from Youtube.
@ryancraddock But they reposted it for some reason as a new video, could this be updated in the news article:
