The Wonderful 101: Remastered goes up on Kickstarter
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Kickstarter is like that.
Big interest up front, slows down in between, big interest at the end for people that procrastinated
You guys are making me excited to play this, hahahaha.
The game never looked appealing to me in early videos, and most of the lengthy forum posts, gifs and videos about it were basically "it plays just like other stylish action game guys, we swear", which isn't enough to make me that interested. There are plenty of those.
But these posts here about what makes the game's structure and plot progression fun are really catching my eye.

I have not played the full game for clarification.
But some time ago at PAX there was a pretty extensive little demo they had available (was a 30-40 minute long demo), and my impressions from that at the time was the game plays a lot better than it looks, it feels very good to play and the combat is very engaging.
I'm excited to play the full thing finally.
My WiiU copy still sits forlorn in the TV cabinet. Guess it'll have to stay there as I'll totally double dip on this and finally play it.
Did play through the demo but wasn't a huge fan of the drawing mechanism, though it did seem like one of those things that might eventually click and be awesome if I'd stuck with it.

People saying it plays like every other stylish action game probably don't get The Wonderful 101. Does it draw from those games? Oh, most definitely. But the 100 playable characters at the same time aspect is just so essential to the game that it kind of carves its own niche. It's not Pikmin, but it does have some of the RTS resource management going on.
For instance, you only take HP damage if the hero you're currently controlling gets hit. If any other hero gets hit they get momentarily knocked out. So, use the others as a shield, right? Well, your Unite Morphs are made from other heroes, so if you have 60 heroes and get 20 KO'd you can't make a Size-50 morph until they recover. To go even further, if all your Sword users are knocked out, you can't use Unite Sword at all until they recover.
Add to that the ability to have part of the blob of heroes break off and attack independently, and you have an action game quite unlike most other stylish action games.
It takes some getting used to. But when you do, it's just amazing. That moment where you tell 25 of your people to turn into a Sword and attack that guy, while you turn into a giant Hand to punch the other guy, while keeping an eye on the third enemy in case you need to dodge... That is when The Wonderful 101 clicks and it's an amazing moment.
Just read the email about the statue, not a big fan of the method they are releasing this. They should just ask Nintendo for help and turn it into an amiibo anyone in the world can buy easily. Even Shovel Knight and Solaire got amiibos, Wonder Red shouldnt be an exception.
But nope, selling only at their booth at a statue festival in Japan, and even if they put it on their website later its going to be too expensive for its size, not even adding importing costs.
If he would have been in Smash already we wouldnt had have that problem.

God, I'd get that in a heartbeat if I could and pretend Wonder Red is in Smash.
It is true it plays better than it might look at first glance, and is insanely engaging. But what really makes it special are the ridiculous set pieces, each of which feels like a climax to any other video game, the enthralling story, and the endearing characters and writing. It's really a full package.
yes! the voice acting is so good and so funny.
I love Wonder Green. That dude killed me
Vanquish port has unlocked framerate, but for a shooter I feel that is a necessary feature. That being said I'm pretty sure this is gonna be like Bayonetta and be capped at 60.
did they ever fix that PC bug where twice the framerate made you take twice the damage in vanquish
that said imagine that giant ice crab boss at above 20 FPS

(Ridiculously optimistic and almost certainly wrong) plot twist: they're not releasing a Wonder Red amiibo just yet because they're waiting for it to be added to Smash via newcomers pack 2. :D
Funny enough Bayonetta 2 is unlike the first in that regard as it frame skips instead of slowdown.
It was fixed, at least two patches were dedicated to fixing it in different ways.
Changed my bid for the new Double Physical Pledge. I was happy with just the Switch version, but the chance to see a Nintendo splash screen on my PS4 is too much to pass up.
They've added double digital, then double physical, hopefully the next one will be one digital/one physical, which is the one I actually want to buy :P
It's 2020, and I just read an article that ends on SisQo complaining about his kids not properly min-maxing their builds in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
Yeah Sisqo is a big time gamer.
I remember Greg Miller talking about doing something with Sisqo for E3 years back and he asked him what game he was most excited for, excepting him to say something casual like COD or 2K. Sisqo answered Xenoblade Chronicles X and that was when Greg knew he was a hardcore gamer lol
They confirmed that you will be able to mix digital Doubles in the update email they sent out a few hours ago... but the actual kickstarter page doesn't seem to mention it.
Yes you can. When they added the tier they specifically talked about it being an option for people who want the game on multiple platforms, or to gift a copy to someone else.
So many good bits in one article, what a great read. Dude is a real one.
I'm going to have the entire audio of this video in my subconscious for years.
pls help, I'm only 1 person.
pls help, I'm only 1 person.
I never thought i could be more happy to be a part of the w101 Familia.
Then i learned Sisqo is a weeb ass nerd and a w101 fan.
@Kamiya Imma need a unite morph thong Kickstarter dlc tier
I doubt it will happen, will probably be replaced with playstation
(I really want to see this on the PS4 version)
they wouldn't put playstation there since they had nothing to do with the game. either it gets cut or replaced with something. or the nintendo part stays
And the youtube video, for lord knows what reason, lost all the views from today.
I give up, screw YT.

I'm gonna do everything within my power to get this. Somehow. Someway. My quest for this garage kit will last far longer than today.

LOOK AT HIS TINY LITTLE BUTT!
If they ever release these things anywhere else I'm going to have to get one and display it exclusively facing away. CHEEKS: UNITE UP!
It's what people called levels/stages in the 80s, probably because a lot of games played on a a static screen, like a board game.
Some people must have figured out how to unwatch, a useful ability on the internet!
