The Wii U game The Wonderful 101 went largely unnoticed. Now its creators want to ostracize it through fan money.
During the few years the Wii U was alive , the game The Wonderful 101 was released. A mix between Pikmin and Devil May Cry, it generated some buzz as it was a game by Hideko Kamiya, creator of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry. But that didn't translate into sales success.
A second chance through Kickstarter
Now that Nintendo is putting out a lot of Wii U games on the Nintendo Switch, waiting for the version of The Wonderful 101 is not far-fetched. That is to say ... They released Tokyo Mirage Session #FE, a title that except for a very closed group of players, no one played when it came out on Wii U.
But for a reason, that port of The Wonderful 101 doesn't seem close. That is why GameXplain and Liam Robertson, it has been brought to light that PlatinumGames is going to launch a campaign on Kickstarter to make this port. You recently appreciated the company's profile on the page. And it would be very rare for cyberokupism or identity theft to be done by posing as PlatinumGames, which is not the company that generates the most sales today, saving NieR Automata.
Liam Robertson clarified that he had known for weeks about PlatinumGames' plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign to bring The Wonderful 101 to at least Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. They haven't said anything about Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, PC, or Google Stadia …
And isn't The Wonderful 101 owned by Nintendo? It actually has a split ownership between Nintendo and PaltinumGames and the latter may have paid to regain full rights to it since it is the project Hideki Kamiya has the most affection for. They would be asking for money through Kickstarter because all the production companies told them that they were not interested in financing that port, and they want to demonstrate through Kickstarter that there is expectation and desire to give it a second chance. If it goes well, we can hope that another production company takes the project and wants to invest in it
