The Wonderful 101: Remastered goes up on Kickstarter
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Very, very tempted to get it for PS4 if it's ported in the end... I had it for WiiU and loved it, but I never finished it and sold it all out over 2 years ago. In many ways it was a special game. One of a kind.
They allowed Platinum to go multiplatform for the release if they funded it themselves. The original deal was they would fund and market the Switch version if it was exclusive, but Platinum wanted multiplat. Since Inaba blatantly refuses to comment on the ownership status, it's fair to say Nintendo still owns W101 in some capacity.
And after this story broke, after much pressure, Dangen promised they would return control of games to the devs effected.
They have still not honoured this promise.
Nintendo is allowing Platinum to release on other platforms.
They probably still do, they just let Platinum fund a multiplat port on their own.
So if the port is basically ready to go so soon, does this mean the game is only available to people to people who participate in the kickstarter, and they're just using this to directly allocate and handle pre-orders?
i don't want to sound like i'm backseat modding, but scummy actors have been banned for less. is it because he's in the industry? idk
Pikmin 3 and Xenoblade X come to mind.
Also Nintendo Land
Well they would be in control of any hypothetical sequel. Depending on how this release pans out, they could find themselves in a situation similar (albeit not exactly identical) to Bayonetta 2, where they have full or even just some degree of exclusivity on a sequel to a game where the first game went multiplatform.
So i selected the "Physical" pledge.
I'm a little confused with the stretch goal thing (i''ve not really done a kickstarter before).
Do i also get everything that is a stretch goal based on where the funding amount ends?
for example, it's already over the amount for steam, does that mean i get a steam key as well as my physical switch editiion?
Sorry if this question is stupid and noobish : /

They mentioned that they cut a deal with Nintendo to do this.
As someone who backed Bloodstained, I wouldn't say any of what you said with any kind of confidence. Bloodstained was on sale almost immediately, and there were store-backed incentives unavailable to KS patrons. By all means if you love the game and devs, back it, but don't expect value (or an early release for that matter).
As far as rarity goes, a sealed copy of the WiiU version might be rarer... ;)
I know ,right? Platnium better cancel the other ports besides Switch or they can kiss their business goodbye!
I hope this is pasta lol. Because if it isn't it is gonna be turned into one
His previous post is from December 13th. It's safe to say he's not coming back to this thread. Impeccable job derailing it, though!
lol good luck thinking the game will release for less than the asked pledge. And I don't see them over shipping either. I honestly hope it will be a limited physical release.
Xenoblade X and Fatal Frame 5 are both Wii U exclusive right now.
i'm getting PTSD flashbacks to the guy who made that essay in the Horizon Zero Dawn PC thread
Platinum are a very special developer. I can see why Nintendo would waive control to generate positive sentiment from Platinum, and further improve their relationship.

I am disgusted to see them trying to put first party Sega characters on other platforms. This should be Dreamcast exclusive. It feels so wrong to me. I would only give money if I knew it was going to stay below these "stretch goals" things.
What these console goals mean is that you will get the choice of a Switch or Steam (or soon PS4) key, not that you'll receive several keys (you still pledged for just one). For further stretch goals like DLC they already said all backers will get it if the goals are met.
They can only do this sort of thing as long as they have the outside investment which actually funds the game development. It's possible and perhaps probably that Tencent will want to publish their games in the future in some capacity. PG had to do some sort of deal with Nintendo to let this happen and perhaps that required them to not let an outside entity publish. There's a lot of info we don't know, so it's hard to draw many conclusions from this.
I think it's likely to remain isolated incidents, but yes, Kickstarter is now more of a marketing tool for games than a transformative way to fund transgressive ideas.
I express disappointment the fact Dangen is involved, but I would also guess the plans for this were made long before the Dangen stuff resurfaced recently since there's also a bit in the FAQ about how this was all planned out before they got the Tencent investment. (and they've been teasing W101 Switch for quite awhile)
Probably means the ports are done, if I was to assume. So this is the price for manufacturing and marketing stuff (besides the other rewards)
