The Wonderful 101: Remastered goes up on Kickstarter
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Eh, got to see how the dealing went, specially since the status of the IP ownership remains unclear, they probably though, "whatever we'll end up getting the game anyway".
Plus, it gauges interest in the franchise for PG and Nintendo.
There should be a 750k goal, something that's on the horizon and reachable for the audience and not too far away, this plus the rather disappointing new goals will make this hit a full break.
Bad decision from whoever made it.
They would need to buy the Bayonetta IP from SEGA and then the Bayonetta 2 rights from Nintendo.
That's legit not even worth the investment.
Also Nier is a Square Enix IP.

The interview is pretty clear that Nintendo was ok with a port as long as it was exclusive.
They accepted crowdfunding for multiplat because it was a flop. The big IF for a sequel implies it'd be successful this time (we're barely past the FW numbers in Japan for now).
I never said anything close to that so stop.
All I said was that this would encourage them to bring up a discussion with them about it. You turned that into Nintendo apparently losing it because it is even being asked.
I will leave this as my last reply on the matter.
It's pretty obvious: Switch
But it won't sell well anywhere I think.
Ok fuck it, im backing it.
Its a pity becuase what i really wanted is getting it physical with a physcial comic, but im not paying 124 euros for that. Will probably go for physical on switch and online comic and music.

Strange for them, but not unwelcomed. Hope with a new audience they have more posibilities for a future smash.
It's not for the 50.000, I just dislike kickstarter for companies but before somebody quotes me, I'm a backer and I love all of this. Kamiya is my hero, Platinum are a gift.
Nothing. They had no comment when asked about the ownership of the IP. In the same interview they did comment on Astral Chain being Coowned. Which is a bit odd.
That's my thought too. These could be unrelated stretch goals, or used to pay back a loan Platinum took out to publish the game.
Technically it sold most on Switch, then Steam and then PS4 based on the structure of the Kickstarter.
It will be for sale through the usual channels (who knows about physical, actually, but digital for sure). It will be more expensive than pledging on KS though.
I sure wish the dollar wasn't valued at twice what it was at the last time I forked out some money for a Kickstarter campaign.
Thanks Bolsonaro.
Thanks Bolsonaro.
Worth noting the PS5 will be backwards compatible too so you can replay it on there for years to come. Maybe the next Switch will be backwards compatible too. The backwards compatibility of the PS5 is what convinced me because it is a game I will be going back to for years.
If you back now you will be charged in March, so not too far away.
Switch > PS4 > PC first day
Switch > PC > PS4 after a year or two.
The goals are alright.
youll get a survey later asking about your address and version
There's actually another option that nobody seems to be mentioning or considering:
Nintendo: "We'll allow it, but you have to give us X% of the money the game makes, including sales on other systems".
I mean, they funded the game, it would make sense that at least some of the profit goes to them. Funding the game and then letting P* pocket the money from the ports to other systems seems kind of outrageously generous, even for Nintendo. Unless that was P*'s condition for footing the Switch porting bill...
At the end of the day it's all speculation unless they come out with the actual details of their agreement, and that's almost guaranteed to never happen.
Still Nintendo's:
I wish they gave another lease in life to games lost in time, like the CiNG games (Hotel Dusk, Another Code) so more people could experience them and a chance for third entries arose. But realistically, there is no active developer championing for these unlike PG for this :c
Idk, I would think the obvious response to this port and kickstarter would have been a no too. I'm not saying they will or won't. Honestly, I also believe it would be a no but if it doesn't hurt to ask then why in god's name wouldn't they. What is it that the old poster in the back of elementary school classrooms used to say? You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
I thought an Xbox port as one of the hidden stretch goals would have been a certainty, but it seems they're avoiding that platform entirely? That's surprising to me. I wonder if history between Platinum and Microsoft has played a role in that.
The sequel would need a comparable budget (more than the first Bayonetta game) which I doubt that a Kickstarter would ever accomplish unless you want an incredibly scaled down sequel.
There is also a reason why Nintendo doesn't seems to be involved on this, no logo likely anywhere near on this release. They don't care about the profits here but more about perception. If the average guy doesn't know that Nintendo was involved with the original game then the situation wouldn't be that different from the Bayonetta exclusive sequels they have been funding.
This of course assumes that the game passes the test and has an incredible performance in sales and maybe even a better Metacritic given how it's more on the 70s unlike the other PGs that they value more like Astral Chain and Bayonetta.
