The Wonderful 101: Remastered goes up on Kickstarter
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
You better prepare yourself for the Wonderful 101 equivalent of Rise from the Ashes.
I expect the Wonderful 101 equivalent of Specter of Torment and nothing less.
I want that t-shirt shown in the latest update.
I hope The Yetee sells it on their site later on.

Anyone wanna help a Canadian dude out and snag me one of those posters at PAXEast?? I have not problem paying for shipping and whatnot 🙏🙏🙏
His point about the game having a surprising ratio of people who played it to people who loved it is an interesting one, because I've not seen a lot of people who played The Wonderful 101 and disliked it either.
For the record, I have played The Wonderful 101, and I love the game.
Caved and pledged for physical switch - loved it on wiiU
Ironically I thought the tutorial on the demo was much better and clearer than the one in the final game, I wonder if they will address that, and although the dual screen was fun for the parts that used it I just pray they do better than Ubisoft did with rayman legends when they ported the touch parts to PS4 and Xbox

Never seen this guy's stuff, but happy for anyone with a sizable following to be promoting this kickstarter. We need all the help we can get to get to those later goals.
Totally agree. It is one of my top 5 games ever, easily. It has a really tough barrier to entry, but everyone I know who has actually gotten into it has come away loving it.
I came to post this, too.
He makes a great point about 26-ish minutes in about how The Wonderful 101 has this reputation of being a very niche game, and that was only strengthened after it bombing so hard in sales, but it really isn't as niche as it looks. "Its bark is worse than its bite", he says, which is a nice way of putting it. It's a unique game, but it isn't this alien thing that just dropped out of space one day; if you've ever played an action game all your instincts about hitting enemies, dodging attacks, throwing some moves together in a stylish manner are all going to come in to play. It'll take you a little longer to get up to speed with it than your average character action game, but if you've ever enjoyed anything by Platinum or Hideki Kamiya you're going to feel at home here.

I can think of at least four that could make videos about it.
Matt's video gave me a serious urge to play it again.
Too bad that I already sold my Wii U copy 😭😭

Look at it this way, only two or so months until you can play it again!
Next social goal is to get this to 3730 RTs. It's a "membership reward upgrade" reward; I'm not sure which item it corresponds to but it's something more tangible again.
Latest update also reveals who sang the theme.
FORESTA sang the Japanese version, while the English version was a team of Jimmy Wilcox, Rob McElroy, and Bruce Blanchard.

To be honest, my experience has been the opposite. When Wonderful 101 clicks for someone they usually end up loving it, but I know tons of people who started it (or played the demo) and hated it, because they couldn't get into the controls at all and found It frustrating to play.
We knew that for a while, they were listed as the artists for the respective versions on the soundtrack.
This isn't technically new knowledge, but then I suppose even most fans of the game didn't buy the soundtrack back when it was sold on Sumthing.
Please retweet the pax east thing if you haven't already. With 20k people backed getting engagement out of 1/5th of them shouldn't be this difficult...
Went ahead and backed at the "Wonderful Tunes" level. Going in blind, but I love Platinum games and wanted to support them a bit more than just the base level. Wish I could make it to PAX and get some autographs.
You won't regret it. The OST is amazing (and so is the game).
Ah, perfect. So still some more time to go until then. Thank you very much!
So what exactly makes the combat and controls unique? I backed it because it's Platinum and I had always wanted to check this out, but at a glance, the gameplay looks like a character-action Anarcute
The combat is mostly standard Character Action fare. You have your enemies, your variety of weapons and moves, your dodge and blocks, and basically all that Platinum goodness.
However, the character you play as makes all the difference here. Or characters, as it is. You are the Wonderful 100 (pronounced One-double-oh), one hundred masked defenders of justice, and you control all of them at the same time. By drawing on the ground. With the right stick, a line of Wonderful Ones extends from the group, draw the corresponding shape with your line of heroes to unite into huge Unite morphs, basically your movesets, and take on your foes.
What this means is that mid fight, you'll be drawing with one hand, and inputting moves with the other, so your Wonderful Stinger comes out with the Sword, then you turn into a Hand to juggle the enemy, before becoming a tombstone and dropping through them, then becoming a gun to juggle them a bit DMC style.
It is extremely chaotic initially, but when it clicks, you will feel like you are actually controlling 100 super-heroes at the same time.
But it is better shown visually, so have a video:
In fact, have another:
It's kind of pathetic.
But realistically Platinum should have been clearer what the reward is for this stage, and not linking the tweet in today's update didn't help.
Part of me thinks about making it a promoted tweet, but that should be completely unnecessary considering we have over five times the requirement in backers alone.
I was really surprised by this game making it multiplatform because W101 its such a NINTENDO game at its roots.
If you've read or watch about development of the game, you'll know that it started as a Nintendo all stars game, they wanted to have Mario, Luigi, Peach, Link, DK Kong, Captain Falcon, Fox, all fighting alongside and appearently Nintendo thought this was very ambitious (lol smash tho) and rejected it. Eventually with this concept in mind they created original characters and thus W101 was born.

There's also numerous blatant Nintendo references and Easter eggs in the final game.
Kickstarters are always like this. Huge beginning, slow middle, and then a huge push near the end. Honestly, I'm amazed by the support for a game that sold less than 50k.
Sure, but right now it's slower than slow. I thought for sure we would get to 1.75 million by this week... weekend at the latest. Now it seems like it may not happen until nearly the end of the KS, making the 2 Mil the final goal people will need to push for rather than a goal beyond that... and I'm not sure that the 2 Mil goal is going to motivate a bunch of people to make a big final push.
But I guess we'll see.
Of course, I'm happy with how much success the KS has had already. This game deserves more love and attention.
Dunno what you consider incredibly expensive, but it's the tier I backed -- costs $324 USD before shipping. It was the last semi-reasonable tier pricing-wise imo considering there are quite a few that are thousands of dollars.
I mean it's expensive because I only want the game and the vinyl. I can't really afford that tier right
The Twitter mission is on hold now. They moved on to the next one. Give this Mega64 video 14,400 likes.
It's like not having turned in a paper by the time the next assignment started.
Something tells me it doesn't matter whether we complete the challenges or not and those upgraded rewards were planned from the beginning. No way there were only going to be 8 stickers instead of 101 if we didn't complete the challenges.
