The Wonderful 101: Remastered goes up on Kickstarter
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
As someone who backed for Switch physical I kinda see this as good news, sure it sucks I'm getting that version a bit later but being given a steam digital code is awesome since I was planning to buy it at some point on there anyway.
Really pleased with how Platinum have handled this.

I'd assume the digital release date hasn't changed, since the Japanese eShop page that went up yesterday still lists the June 11th release date for there.
(Also if anyone would want to trade my steam code for their PS4 code let me know since I already backed for switch and steam codes separately from my physical pledge. (As long as these aren't time limited codes until we get the physical version which is apparently possible.))
Steam codes are free to generate. Every other platform has to be paid for and takes longer. This is a nice freebie but it's also not costing them anything. However as another no PC guy this doesn't really change much for me.
Shame about the delay but I understand
Too bad my Laptop is garbage for gaming. It can't even run Bayonetta at a stable framerate, so TW101 is a pipe dream.

This is ridiculous. I could have accepted the physical releases to launch at the same date as the general releases but later? I'm starting to regret backing this up.
And no, I don't care about Steam so a code means nothing to me. At least give me a Switch code for God's sake.

Would have preferred a Switch code. Don't see myself playing this on PC. Will probably just sell the code.
Are you actually mad because a global pandemic delayed your video game and they gave you a free digital copy as an apology Jesus Christ
I'm not mad about the delay, that was understandable.
I'm mad because they say they're going to release physical versions for backers after the official release (and again, why should I care about a free code for a system that I don't use?).
Yes because the current production and distribution pipeline is fucked up.
that's a code you can sell or give away. That's hugely generous. This is basically the best delay ever by Kickstarter and it's not even their fault.
After so may kickstarters I should know by now that you don't back them to be able to play the results first (or even on time) lol. Especially as someone who seeks out physical copies.
I can imagine the uproar however that would occur if they were giving out EGS codes instead of steam :P

I agree, I have the PS4 physical on order, A switch code would be good, my PC won't run the game.
Maybe they could ask what code people wanted, my guess is a lot of people will just sell the Steam code, heck people will sell any of the codes most likely.
I have played the game on my WiiU so I'm not bothered about playing the game early.
I was sad I saw physical copies got delayed but then I actually read it again and saw I'm getting a free Steam code because of it. Not too bad.
Giving away free Steam codes is a good way to find 4 dollar keys on grey markets. I'm not a fan of this strategy tbh.
No they are releasing backer versions in late June and retail versions in July. The problem is that distribution networks are fucked right now so some folks are going to get it later. They don't really have control over that and they can't delay the retail to whenever the last backer gets their copy.
while I really would have preferred to play it on switch
I have a steamlink for couch gaming so I think this will actually be the best route. at least I'll get achievements (?)

User banned (1 week): Trolling. History of similar behavior.
what other physical game is getting delayed?
Any? Just this one?
Smells fishy....
I backed it and asked for a PC code.
It's fine, no reason to be mad when all this situation is happening because of global pandemic.
Wait, so you are simultaneously not mad and mad about a delay that you say is understandable? I'm really confused about why you're mad. You would be significantly happier if they just didn't give anybody anything?
How is this hard to understand? As a backer I was expecting to have this before the official release.
Delaying everything is understandable right now but I would have expected to get it before people who haven't contributed for it.
(Also, what's up with your latter point? That is what makes no sense).
TLOUII got delayed... this one at least is releasing in some form as promised and not just holding everything back to wait for physical.
nothing fishy here, just a global pandemic
Yeah this is where I'm at. I was torn between a Switch copy and a PC copy, so the fact that I'm now getting both is an absolute win in my eyes. It's a great response from Platinum.
Look I'm just going to believe the best in people and assume this is sarcasm
welp... I picked the digital + retail tier....
could have picked just retail! But hey i couldn't predict it, not gonna complain, lol, it's great for everyeone else

Conspiracy theorying a platinum remaster? lol. I can't tell what's sarcasm anymore.
Ugh. Bummed but understandable. Just wish we would get free download codes for the system we chose.
Maybe I'll just give mine to my sister since I dont game on pc

wake up to an email about the shipping being delayed. But also news that I'm getting a free steam key. That's fine with me yo
No one answered me. What other physical game was delayed? Digital is still releasing, but not physical. Can someone give me another example?
I mean I still haven't gotten my wattam physical version but played the digital version back in December..
