I wonder if they addressed the screen real estate issues at all though, because there is going to be some SERIOUS "I can't fucking see my own characters" on handheld

Around 39€ for physical with just 5€ shipping is f'n crazy.

That's why I love Kickstarter. You can buy the shit you would buy anyway and get it cheaper than in stores. This time almost shadow drop even, only April! If you have the slightest interest in any way, you would be dumb to not back it here.

WAIT.

The FAQ section says steam.

Of course, we absolutely want to release The Wonderful 101: Remastered on platforms other than Nintendo Switch, Steam, and PS4 so that fans everywhere can play, but this is a challenging endeavor for our first foray into self-publishing. That's why we wanted to concentrate on these three initial hardware platforms.

However, we are absolutely listening, and if this campaign is successful enough to allow us the flexibility to port the game on additional platforms, we'd love to make it happen.

Wait, nevermind. That's the $250K tier. How did I not see that?

release by April?

So the game is basically done, this is just...marketing cost?

Interview with Platinum in which they discuss bringing the proposal to Nintendo (their comments are longer than what's in Zhuge's tweet; tldr they were fine with it) and their justification for the Kickstarter.
Can you elaborate on the status of the IP? Does Platinum now own it?

Inaba:
Unfortunately, we cannot comment on this matter at this time.
Hmmmm. I'm guessing the kickstarter funds will be used to buy the IP?

Will physical only be available through Kickstarter or will I be able to buy it after it's released?

So happy to see it's finally coming to modern platforms and is getting lots of support!

Those goal tiers make it seems suspiciously like those are prices Nintendo attached to bringing it to other platforms lol

Where are all the "This game is extremely niche no way it will succeed on kickstarter" people at now?

Kinda dumb to make a PC version a stretch goal, but it's obviously gonna reach that maybe even within the first 24 hours so no big deal.

It'll probably reach that by midnight (we're halfway there already and it's been 30 minutes).

That's what I'm saying. Sounds like a rather irrational request by Platinum that Nintendo paid and was not exclusive. How could they not oppose?
Yeah, what were Platinum expecting? Granted this was before Astral Chain likely became a surprise success at over 1m copies, but if I were Platinum I'd have leapt at the opportunity regardless of the obvious caveat of it still being Nintendo-exclusive... of a Nintendo-owned game.

Again, what was going through their heads?

So this really looks like Nintendo would have actually funded the port if they didn't want it to be on other platforms.
That's a weird choice from Platinum, but it fits with their goal of wanting to be independent. Nice from Nintendo to allow that in the end.
You should really read this post

edit: I see you saw my post :P
lol yeah. Thread is moving fast, I skipped a lot of posts.
So does this mean Nintendo still owns the IP?
Co-own, yes.

I suppose that physical editions would be shipped from Japan, am I right? That would include shipping fees + import fees. I think I will skip it at the moment, then. Maybe some physical copies will be available everywhere in the future.

This is actually pretty funny to see after reading the other thread where it's expected not to work, doom and gloom, W101 is dead yada yada.

I'm thinking of getting a physical copy for Switch and picking it up on Steam later down the line, but I dunno...

Not interested in this, as I didn't like it much on WiiU, but I'm happy seeing that it's successful. It's a game with a lot of heart.

At least Nintendo offered them the possibility of Kickstarter instead of simply blocking the ip.

Guys that means they were already doing it. They probably need the money to manufacture it.
