I doubt they're going to tempt fate and overextend. Even Platinum thinks this is a one-time thing. The only reason it seemingly worked out so well for TW101 is because the game sold awfully in the first place and this likely created an avenue for them to increase the brand value. Astral Chain on the other hand is now a million seller, so its more valuable, while Bayonetta is stuck between two publishers and is arguably the most valuable property they've created in terms of mindshare.

That makes it unlikely, sure, but it isn't impossible.

They have some further stretch goals blurred out on the KS page. Xbox version and DLC?

DLC is confirmed to come as a stretch goal. Likely Xbox as well

Mary Celeste · Feb 3, 2020

today I regained some of my lost faith in the good of people

the_mentalist89 · Feb 3, 2020

is confirmed that the game will be out 20 april also on ps4?

Dead Man Typing · Feb 3, 2020

I should bring out the Wii U and finish this game.

I'm super happy that Platinum has made their goal. I'm super happy that the game gets to be played by more people. I just don't see myself buying it again to play it on a system with one screen.

I might still end up buying it...

This is actually amazing. I'm just sitting here watching the counter spin up.

It's kind of addictive.

DimitriLH · Feb 3, 2020

NEXT STRETCH GOAL BETTER BE STADIA!

im half joking.....

ViewtifulJC · Feb 3, 2020

Stretch goal image is removed so it's time to tell us what DLC we're funding.

Wow, just so happened to see it cross $500K while watching the Kickstarter video... Only problem is, I have no clue what this game is. Totally missed my radar when it was first released.

What if Pikmin...but Bayonetta?

That's it, in a super, oversimplified nutshell.

Graven · Feb 3, 2020

Kickstarting our way out of exclusives should become a trend.

bluehat9 · Feb 3, 2020

It's already funny going back to the first page and seeing people laugh at the stretch goal numbers.

I admit, it's not the same, but it's silly to draw conclusions from this Kickstarter.

I'm not drawing anything, it probably won't happen but something like this where nintendo and platinum share the ip and are releasing it on ps4 and possibly xbox along with switch, it tells me a bayonetta 2 situation on more platforms is not impossible even if yesterday i would have assumed wonderful 101 would only be switch exclusive.

Soph · Feb 3, 2020

So.. would the Nintendo logo show on the PS4 when booting the game?

Fucking hell, it's already hit all the current goals? Wonder what the next few will be, Xbox seems a given, but wonder what else.

probably the DLC goals, not more platforms, but who knows

It sounds like Nintendo still owns it, and has given their blessing for PlatinumGames to do this Kickstarter.

Nintendo finally about to go sortof thirdparty

PS4 players better enjoy the game now.
You don't have the touch controls on this version so no way to get confused too :p

Jbone115 · Feb 3, 2020

Glad to see this KS was apparently very successful - hopefully this game finds an audience this time!

NSESN · Feb 3, 2020

DriftingSpirit said:
I'm sure this will only encourage Plat to ask Nintendo to port more stuff.

No it won't, they asked about TW101 because it failed. They won't risk angering Nintendo by asking for ports of games that actually brought money to them.

Earvin Infinity · Feb 3, 2020

$750K - Xbox
$1M - Stadia

(Guessing)

Well, the PS4 version isn't happening lmao. Not even sure about PC. hopefully they'll meat their first goal at least.

Well this aged like a damn rotten mango.

Kouriozan · Feb 3, 2020

And there we go~!

People saying RIP PS4, but it almost already achieved 10% of it, have faith!

Told you :P

It... just might.

What a world

Sadist · Feb 3, 2020

Thats really cool of Nintendo

GetDigitized · Feb 3, 2020

They should include the Nintendo logo as a long load screen at the start

Mandos · Feb 3, 2020

I think I'll wait for the stretch goal update for new content

Yearsoflurking · Feb 3, 2020

Looks like platinum has passionate fans not many backers but the amount they put up is a lot

Araujo · Feb 3, 2020

This is going Shen Mue 3 levels of hype...

*looks at Bayonetta 2 on my shelf"

soon.

It’s Time To Go · Feb 3, 2020

April 2020 is a very short turnaround to get the physical copies out to backers.

I am disgusted to see them trying to put first party Nintendo characters on other platforms. This should be Switch exclusive. It feels so wrong to me. I would only give money if I knew it was going to stay below these "stretch goals" things.

I will make a petition I assume you will be my very first signature ?!

The Nintendo who let this happen and they have thanked? They could have sat on the franchise and never let it see the light of day. The devs wanted to give the chance to let the game have a second chance, Nintendo let them since it cost them nothing, and if it succeeds they have a far more valuable ip as a result that they could get an exclusive sequel for

That post is even worse considering that Nintendo offered to fund and market it if it was an exclusive, yet they still let them the chance to releasing it to other platforms when Platinum asked

Nintendo isn't releasing W101 on PS4, Platinum is. Nintendo is allowing Platinum, as a sign of good will, to do what they want with this one game. I don't think there is more to it.

Serene · Feb 3, 2020

lmao remember when people thought the PS4 version might not get funded all the way back.... two hours ago?

Serenity Lotus · Feb 3, 2020

Do some people not realize that this isn't being published by Nintendo whatsoever at all?

The Last One · Feb 3, 2020

Only switch and pc are possible ps4 no way

Sure.

Biteren · Feb 3, 2020

New stretch goals

In my heart i was first still

Damn, no Xbox stretch goal for now...

Paradoxically, the more successful the kickstarter, the more reasons Nintendo will have to say no.

Storm · Feb 3, 2020

New stretch goals up. Sadly not an Xbox version so probably gonna pass on the Kickstarter.

More like 1 million and 1 cent.
