The Wonderful 101: Remastered goes up on Kickstarter
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Yah, but no. The TW101 sell terrible in Japan? I bet most of these backers are in places other than Japan.For those wondering about Xbox. Remember this.
I just did my part!
I never even played the game. I only played the demo and thought it was fun, but never got around to buying it. Not making the same mistake again
LETS GO!!!

Yeah, that's why I said "lol kickstarter". A sequel wouldn't happen without them.
I mean, surely not if you're one of the backers in the $1000+ tiers, hahah. A lot of people just want to be part of this kind of stuff.
I'd guess the order they went for goals in: Switch > PC > PS4
The big difference is that TW101 was basically dead, so Nintendo might see this an opportunity to revive the series.
The same isnt true about Astral Chain and Bayonetta, not only the games are already on switch but are also much more successful. Nintendo gets no benefits for allowing ports.
Backed it just as it hit the first goal. Really heartening to see the game get this much love early on in the KS campaign and I hope they're able to maintain the momentum for the DLC and what I can only hope is an Xbox One port for those folks.
In the FAQ on the kickstater they say "with the help of nintendo" and not "we bought back the IP from Nintendo" though.
Seems more like an Ori/Cuphead situation, with Nintendo putting zero money for a port as they are porting it everywhere, but still coowning the IP.
Best of both worlds IMO.
Not trying to shit on this but why would I want a 2D side scroller and not like a new level for the game or something related more closely to W101? What a weird final goal...
Babylon's Fall is also still not announced for the Xbox.
Are physical releases of the game only available through the kickstarter, or will it also be available to purchase from retailers at a later date?
The Wii U version had non-touch screen controls and, at least most people I've talked to who have played it, never used them. You can draw with the right stick, which works better than it sounds.
The conversation was about reasons for a consumer to buy via KS, not so much reasons for P* to make a kickstarter in the first place. That would have a laundry list of reasons, too.
There's no touchscreen requirements on even the Wii U version, as it can be played from beginning to end on a regular controller.
I agree. None of that means they wouldn't ask. That's all I'm saying.
The number of backers (across three platforms) will still be quite low, yes. But the amount each backer has pledged is rather significant.
The difference between Astral Chain and W101 is basically: What are you most willing to give to charity, your brand new jacket that you adore or that padded sweater that shrunk when washed and has some holes?
If someone asks you for the jacket you say "lol, no", if someone asks you for the sweater you say "whatever".
If someone asks you for the jacket you say "lol, no", if someone asks you for the sweater you say "whatever".
Yeah it'll be the $10 million stretch goal :P
I jest but I am willing to bet two copper pennies that Kamiya misspoke.
Oh, that's great, but then what was the big deal about the controls?
In the interview here they said:
Later on they did comment on the status of the Astral Chain IP and gave a specific breakdown of who owns what.
I'm not so sure Nintendo will own this IP when all is said and done. If they still do, then the no comment is bizarre.
Analog stick drawing was the superior way of playing, even on Wii U; much faster and more precise. It might sound counterintuitive, but you're changing weapons constantly in this game; imagine playing Street Fighter and having to draw a figure on a tablet every time you wanted to throw a Hadoken.
Strange indeed. Maybe Nintendo is waiting to see how the kickstater goes, though that would be a strange move.
MS did give funding to help with the game at least. But yeah, MDHR are the full owners of Cuphead (going by the copyright on Floral Fury in Smash Bros)
But if MDHR does a sequel, that will likely be on all platforms. They'd probably have the capital to do it with all the merchandising.
Cuphead is one of those weird situations where the developer does own the IP, but they can't freely shop the initial game around because of the financial investment that a platform holder made to the development of the game. Something like Cuphead 2 would almost assuredly not need any kind of approval process.
Yeah that's what I was imagining! People were saying the game was great but controls were so hard.
Probably not, but it would be funny if the goals of the ports are currently to buy the IP from Nintendo and so they cannot speak at the time of the interview.
FAQ updated.
So Dangen isn't helping them? But they said they were in the Gematsu
I think it was because it was advertised as touchscreen being the ideal way to play, but much like the motion controls in ARMS, people just used a regular controller most of the time.
The other thing is there is a learning curve to the game that can make the stick-drawing seem unintuitive, but once you get the hang of it it's really fun and oddly intuitive.
Yeah but if they're not actual Japanese nerds they're weeaboos who are still more likely to own a Switch or PS4 over an Xbox due to the lack of Japanese games.
There's just not a huge ecosystem on that system outside the biggest AAA releases which leads to a self-perpetuating cycle of the intended audience not buying the console.
The game has a pretty steep learning curve, because it's different to a lot of previous character action games.
One major step in that learning curve is saying "fuck this" to drawing controls and going full analog. Another one is discovering that holding L (I believe) makes you draw lightning fast on the analogs.
Yeah, it is really fun once you get the hang of it. :) I didn't use a random example when comparing it to Street Fighter, it really feels like doing special moves.
If anything, Dangen seems to be an unofficial partner or Platinum is distancing themselves from them.
Okay thank you. Also, is the stick drawing is like spraying a tag in Jet Set Radio?
