The Wonderful 101: Remastered is coming to Switch, Steam, and PS4 via Kickstarter

The campaign went up earlier this afternoon with a target of ~$50,000 (it's in yen) by March 6th for a Switch release. $250k was the threshold for a Steam release, and $500k was the goal for a PS4 version.

It's now at ~$810,000 with 31 days to go still

If you pledge ~$36 to the campaign you'll get a digital copy, and you'll get a physical copy for ~$41. Backers apparently get the game in April.

I was just curious if anyone had played it and their thoughts

Heard about the remaster the other day but I don’t know anything about it

 

[datboi81]

I’m more interested in the other Platinum games in this 4 games publishing process. Wonderful 101 looks cool, but not for me.

 

[Master Zik]

Wonderful 101 looks fun from the gameplay and added extra **** but more of the same overall.

What are the 3 other games?

Rumor: Nintendo requested Sora for Smash Bros., but Disney didn’t let it happen
Posted on February 7, 2020 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch

​

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate already has five DLC characters, but the fun isn’t stopping there. It was announced last month that another six fighters are set to be delivered by the end of 2021.
There’s always speculation as to who could be joining the game. Sora from Kingdom Hearts is one such character that’s been highly requested by fans, but it has yet to happen. Apparently, that isn’t due to a lack of interest on Nintendo’s part.

During a recent episode of the Kinda Funny Gamescast, one of the show’s current hosts and former Game Informer editor Imran Khan claimed that Nintendo “absolutely approached Disney about it once.” When asked if it’s Disney that’s preventing Sora from joining Smash Bros., Khan said, “Yes. Disney Japan specifically.”
Of course, Khan comments can’t be confirmed at this time. But if what he mentioned is true, Sora probably won’t be one of the fighters we’ll be seeing in the Fighters Pass 2 for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Sora would've been dope to have in the roster

Damn shame

Kinda figured this was always the case though

Can’t include Sora without characters like Donald or Goofy being that they’re so important to the series and Disney probably wasn’t cool with co-signing those properties for something they ain’t gonna profit off of

i think each studio get a % of their characters sell through as dlc

Well whatever it is I’m sure Disney would need a lot more than what the actual game studios are getting to feel appropriately compensated for using their stuff

I just don’t think they really give a damn about video games either

They're def not viewing Sora in Smash through the same lens as say Microsoft when they allowed Banjo in. They probably couldn’t care less about the significance it would hold in gaming history let alone understand it

nah it must be something else
cause hell disney licenses out there character to be on backpacks
and damn vans for that matter
i THINK it may have something to do with nintendo
and their partnership with universal
for super mario land in their theme parks
JUST my assumption

 

[Master Zik]

Keep pressing the matter like this with Disney and mess around and have Disney buy Nintendo .

They cant
Japanese companies can’t be majority owned by foreign country companies
Sorta like how China does it

Finished Luigi’s Mansion 3. Enjoyed it the entire time I was playing. Perfect balance of fun and challenging

More trash

Just hack it . I've been playing Minish Cap on my Switch the past couple of days. One of the few handheld Zeldas that I haven't played yet. Pretty good so far.

I need to pick this up still

 

[floodarea]

Even though we haven’t gotten a direct, the number of suto-announcements with these rating reveals have been basically a direct in themselves

Catherine will for sure be copped

Just got pokemon home. Haven’t played Pokémon since xy/oras and im pretty sure I gave both games away. Well when attempting to connect to bank turns out I have over 1300 Pokémon to transfer over. Which means I may have transferred over any pokes on value and what im assuming are a ton of breedjects (breeding rejects).
It’ll be fun to play with some of my Old competitive Pokémon!
