The Wonderful 101: Remastered goes up on Kickstarter
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
I'll be satisfied with the campaign reaching the remix soundtrack and the second Luka campaign.
Yeah, the Toy set was included in the $326 tier before, but now with the new tiers, they're at $993. That's fucking ridiculous. 3x the amount. Feels like a complete ripoff for a few small toys.
Hmm I think it would have been better if they had announced the retail versions later and also to be on sale later on in the year.
I have backed this, ok an exclusive cover, but it does seem that they had this already to go anyway and it didn't need a kickstarter.

I will wait for the game to hit bomba prices once again before buying then.
Wow, I'd resigned myself to thinking it'd stalled out at $1.6 mil. Awesome work, everyone.
I'm kind of surprised they can release the game to backers first. I remember wondering why Bloodstained couldn't at least ship early so people could get their kickstarted game before (or at least at) the public release and not after, and the reasoning was that the B&M stores wanted everyone to stick to the same release date.
They had a deal with a publisher, whereas Wonderful is self-published by Platinum.
Technically speaking, Bloodstained did ship to backers earlier, but that was about a week to 10 days earlier.
Lol what does this even mean? I highly doubt they're going to give stores nearly the amount of copies Nintendo did, assuming it even gets a wide physical release.
Yeah but most KS use add-ons to piece meal extra items you might want, but not pay the higher tiers to get. This one has still not announced any sort of thing.
I mean this game will almost certainly be featured for deep discounts in the regular sales periods a few months from launch. Nothing about this game in particular, it's just the way this market works with the exception of Nintendo evergreens.
I'd still say that it's not always the best to assume on non AAA titles. It's possible, but there's tons of niche games that disappear in stock before they even get deep sales. Will this actually be printed as hefty? Maybe a smaller print? Who knows. Might be more niche via retail, than the KS performance suggests.
I dunno, it still stung to see Bloodstained and Indivisible hit half price by the holiday same year when the Switch version I backed either didn't exist yet or was a trash fire.
Different games, different publishers. Same with Shenmue 3. It just depends in the end what you would prefer; cheaper price, or making sure you get a physical copy at retail.
Platinum's twitter referred to the May release date as the "general release date," which implies backers still get it earlier.
2 million will be tough to hit, but no matter how much further this goes, it's still a huge success imo and I'm sure Platinum is happy.
The PS4 and PC ports literally would not happen if they didn't clear those tiers
I agree, I only did the kickstarter a few days ago, it certainly shouldn't be cheaper.
I don't know, it seems ready to go for PS4 and PC, why didn't they just do a kickstarter for those formats.
The resolution is absolute trash, but you can already see in the credits at the end the name of Nintendo in the second line after Platinum in the first one.
Who is ready to see the big ass logo of Nintendo in the intro of the PS4 version lol
This. The Switch copy was always going to happen, but the ports were goals they did not yet get to. People can still cancel their pledge and get one at retail, if they choose. This does have an exclusive backer cover, so depends what you want.
(In almost all KS I've done, the game costs more via KS than the later retail release). You pay for it to get made, thus the additional "taxes" on it, really.
Then sell it as a project to fund PC and PS4 ports. Don't sell it as "we can't do this at all without Kickstarter because we're a small indie studio and we just hope to even put out the Switch version, but we'd like to come to more platforms if this does well".
Messaging and timing are important. At least with general preorders being available already, people can cancel their pledges easily.
Oh I mean digital. No clue how physical stock/price dynamics work out.
$36 digital and $40 physical for kickstarter... and KS isn't taxed.
Its not cheaper.
The game is cheaper on KS for me, and you get all the DLC by default.
For backers.
So do backers actually get their copies a month early? That would be sweet.
Extra incentive to back
You did good !
Sounds like it !
Kamiya talked about improving some things like the UI and other stuff but I don't think they'll change the gameplay.
That's because they used the Nintendo Switch logo in the trailer. Sony and Valve are also credited there because of the PS4 and Steam logos being used. The only company actually credited for the game is PlatinumGames.
Mm, thought the trademark logos were all in the same line at the end seeing the nintendo one being small. My bad.That's because they used the Nintendo Switch logo in the trailer.

So IP completely sold then?
I'm glad we have a date, I can't wait!
I already backed the game, will get the Steam version.

I mean those are also a part of it but the fact that they barely explained what is actually different in these versions besides the consoles is kind of suspect.
Iirc Platinum co-owns the IP. I don't know how things work out there but at the very least, Nintendo's alright with Platinum self-publishing it.
Yeah thats what I thought, but then things like a cowoning should have a credit in a trailer like that. Its strange the way they have been in interviews sayin, oh yeah Nintendo were amazing, they let us do this, and then the question about the owning is "we cant really talk about that"
