Update - Sat 1st Feb, 2020 15:45 GMT: Following on from yesterday's teaser, an anonymous source (via 4Chan), is claiming there will be an announcement for a Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version of The Wonderful 101, and it will be crowdfunded via Kickstarter.
GameXplain has now added to this – stating how it was able to confirm "some details" via its own source. This includes the supposed confirmation of a Switch and PlayStation 4 release, along with a Kickstarter launch. It's also done some digging around and discovered a Platinum Games Kickstarter page, but can't actually confirm whether it's real or fake at this point in time.
We'll add to this by saying we've had a similar confirmation from our own source, who wishes to remain anonymous.
Original article - Fri 31st Jan, 2020 11:35 GMT: We all know that Nintendo fans love a bit of PlatinumGames, and if there's one title that they'd love to see come to Switch, it's The Wonderful 101.
The Wii U version was critically acclaimed but sold poorly, so it's ripe for rediscovery on Nintendo's latest console – and PlatinumGames has been pretty cute about the chances of that happening in the past.
Now, it would seem that the studio is laying down some pretty major hints about the game coming to Switch – check out the following tweet, and pay close attention to the time and date on Hideki Kamiya's screen, as well as the console he has sat on his desk:
This isn't the first time that the studio has teased Switch owners with some Wonderful 101-style goodness – perhaps it's just a joke? Or, maybe there's more to it? PlatinumGames has recently gained investment from Chinese media giant Tencent and has stated that it has some big news coming early this year – could this be it?

There's going to be some people who care but there's so many more Wii u games I'd rather have ported and that includes EA games.
A Wonderful 101 Direct incoming?
An underappreciated gem. I'm not sure how Platinum would solve the game's heavy use of the touch screen commands, but I would double-dip for a Switch port in a heartbeat.
Looking forward to when there are 101 comments on this article, and 101 likes on this comment.
Lol. This is reminding me of the old Chris Jericho teasers on wwe tv
Would be fantastic if it happens, especially if 2020 in general clears up the remaining main 2013 Wii U games completely (Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, 3D World, Wind Waker HD, Sonic Lost World).
It’s a wonderful rumour I’ve heard 101 times
As long as they implement a left handed mode by allowing the controls to be flipped I dont mind. Same goes for pikmin 3 if it ever happens.
What's he doing up that time of night on a tuesday? ^_^;;
NEWSLETTER Platinum is releasing 101 games in 2020!!!! OMG
that specific October 1st is listed as a Tuesday (火) ,btw, so they probably set the clock to Oct 1 2019. Point being, prob not a tease on a Oct 1 2020 release date as well as it is a Thursday this year.
@1UP_MARIO Yeah, definitely heard about this game far too many times. Wish I could block the Rumour-tagged articles in general, not just this game.
It's gonna be multiplatform, not Switch exclusive. Since Nintendo turned down to publish it themselves and a third party publisher worked with Platinum instead. I told Nintendolife via email and provided my source but they didn't post it so guess I'm not trustworthy yet y'all will see what I mean very soon though
I hope so, I loved Wonderful 101 and would love to buy it and play it again
@PorllM are you sure? I could have sworn Nintendo published it on Wii U
@YozenFroghurt what about guys like me that bought it on Wii U and then sold our Wii U a year ago and would love to play it again on Switch?
@YozenFroghurt wouldn't people who deserted Nintendo during the Wii u days never really get to be classified as fans. Seems like casuals. I owned a Wii u. Actually two. Yet people on here think I'm sort of troll because I like my xbox. Btw I'm a multiple switch owner. Maybe I just like burning my money though. But I challenge the term fan when people gave up the chance to play Mario Kart 8, smash bros, and 3D world while they must have been playing a xbox or ps somewhere.
Would rather have 3D World and/or Mario Galaxy.
Loved Wonderful 101! The last half of the game really started to give off Gurren Lagann vibes - which I totally dig.
It's definitely a game that is easy to play, but tough to master. I actually had to watch a combat tutorial on YouTube in order to fully grasp the complex combo system that exists in the game as I was so tired of getting terrible scores.
All-in-all, it's a game that deserves to be released to a 52 million strong user base.
When the Switch came out, the Wonderful 101 was a game that I had some reservations about buying of it ever came to Switch. But it's been long enough now and teased enough that it's my most anticipated port now. I also just recently discovered that my Wii U copy was misplaced a couple years ago when we moved. So this will be a welcome release.
Wii U was awesome, really. Bulky, slow, all that (not unlike other systems then, but in a different way with more possibilities and less power). But it had an amazing first party line up actually, and some great third party exclusive gems (or with unique features and stuff). Isn't that why Nintendo fans are Nintendo fans?
I remember playing Zombi U and being very impressed by that game. Not its graphics, but the tension it builds when looking away to loot, moving through waist-high water, exploring an abandoned daycare, hospital,.. And occasionally storming a place with an AK and adrenaline rushing through my body because every step could be the last and dying was permanent.
And that was just a Ubisoft launch game. There was the promise of Platinum exclusives (Bayonetta 2 and W101) and first-party support, all I needed was there. Monster Hunter 3U with 3DS local wireless co-op, Miiverse, and some other great stuff was just a nice extra.
@leo13 They did on Wii U. But it sold terribly. Platinum came to them about publishing it for Switch and Nintendo turned it down thinking it wasn't going to be profitable enough, so they allowed Platinum to take the IP back
A third party publisher came in and offered a deal to help publish the remaster, and will be doing so on Switch, but on other platforms too.
I'm pretty certain of this - I posted it as speculation on ResetEra a couple weeks ago in response to a well known insiders hints about W101 - the insider PM'ed me saying I was on the right track and asked me to delete the post as it made their hints a bit too obvious.
Still could be wrong of course and I'm not the insider myself so can't guarantee anything - but wait and see
101?
In this age of DLC, it will be 201 by the end of the year.
I liked the original a lot... but there were some irritating little UI, control, and QOL items that I hope are fixed if it's ported (90 minutes of game between save points... inability to replay specific missions when score chasing... etc.). All are easily fixable and I would hope we get these (instead of a straight port).
They straight up posted Wonderful 101 the characters playing on Switch, I'd be so confused if they didn't bring something over to Switch. If Tokyo Mirage can get a second chance, anything is possible.
Also, I'm liking that Iron Giant figure at Platinum, though I shouldn't be surprised that the guys there have good taste, lol
I don’t need Mr. Ego to tell me to see the time on a computer screen.
I don't care as there is no reason to buy it a second time for a much higher price as a bonus.
The Wii U version were a low priced game, and a very late port will most likely cost 50-60$.
Upgraded games like Mario Galaxy, Endless Ocean, Wave Race, F-Zero GX and more would have much more value.
I wonder is Sony will have it as a PS5 release game.
I'm just glad I don't find much good in their games, seen as they have sold out to Sony now..
Those tiny cubicles don't look like a fun place to work
For whatever reason the Wonderful 101 game just did not connect with me at all. I got it for free and I wanted to like it but I just didn’t find much there to enjoy. I am happy for the people who wanted a port of it to the Switch. I’m hoping that eventually all Wii U exclusive games eventually make their way over to the Switch. The Wii U exclusive games should be able to find larger audiences and can be enjoyed by more people even if I did not personally care for them myself.
“We all know that Nintendo fans love a bit of PlatinumGames, and if there's one title that they'd love to see come to Switch, it's The Wonderful 101.”
Speak for yourself.
Nier: Automata for me.
Personally I would love to see a sequel instead.
@antdickens You must watch closely and then lock the article so it cannot change. I know that sounds tedius, so just make Zion do it. XD
I didn't get on with the gameplay, but loved the characters and story. Bringing it back without the touchscreen wouldn't be a bad thing and would give me a reason to upgrade and try to finish it.
Hope it happens. I really want to play the game. But I don’t own a WiiU.
@Ventilator The original game released for 60 bucks if I remembered correctly, the standard price of Wii U games. Like, I agree that ports shouldn't be priced at full, but W101 certainly wasn't a budget title on Wii U.
@Klunk23
I paid 30 bucks for Wonderful 101 on release, like i also did for Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Captain Toad TH which were all budget games on Wii U.
The ports of many year old games costs nearly twice as much on Switch.
Please give me a port
wonderful 101 is actually the only reason my Wii U is even hooked up right now
This is the only remaining game from the Wii U that I want to play that hasn't been ported to switch - make it happen Nintendo!
@Magician I realised pretty quickly that the shapes were easier and faster to draw with the joystick. But the cool first-person puzzle stages will be less cool without the gamepad.
@Ventilator Weird. The suggested retail for Donkey Kong was 50 bucks for sure, and wonderful 101 was definitely at least 50 (again, could've been 60) so you were able to get all of those games at a discount at launch. I don't remember Captain Toad but I think it may have been 40 bucks?
Edit: Ok, actually just looked to see that you're in Norway so we're talking about 2 different currencies here. Sorry, saw the 50-60 dollars statement and just assumed we were in the same country.
I've never doubted it's coming. Just been a matter of when!
@dew12333 Uh... 'sold out' to Sony? What? Platinum makes games for whoever pays them too, that's been their modus operandi forever, and they've released plenty of Switch titles. Not to mention they're actually going to start self-publishing some titles soon.
Also this isn't going to Sony, Wonderful 101 as an IP is owned by Nintendo.
@Magician The Wii U original was completely playable in Off-Screen mode without touching the touchscreen. They used PIP for the multiscreen sections, and there was a perfectly usable control setup to replace the touchscreen in the options. I'd assume we'll see the touch mode return for portable, and just limit TV mode to the analog stick method.
@Klunk23 NoA priced everything on Wii U the same meanwhile NoE had different price tiers (UK prices were: Selects tier at £20, a cheap new tier at £35, a mid new tier at £40, a high new tier at £50 and BotW at £60).
The entire Wii U catalog doesn't exist to me so bring them all over. It would be fun to play this from what I've heard.
@Klunk23 Suggested price is one thing, and what a retailer sells a game for is a different thing.
As for currency, i always use converted to US $ in posts.
300 NOK = ~30$
NOK to $ is easy. Just add a 0 to US$ price.
Edit: Like Grumblevolcano says. Wii U Games were overall alot cheaper in Europe than in USA.
Then what i paid for the games will make more sense to you.
@Ventilator @Grumblevolcano Oh, that makes sense. That definitely makes things more clear.
@Klunk23 Yup. I didn't know USA had about same price on all/most Wii U exclusives. It's confusing for Americans when i say that some exclusives were budget games.
Due to the official pricing in Europe on Wii U games, the 30 bucks games were intended to be sold for 30-40 bucks by Nintendo and not 50-60.
USA always got the best benefits from Nintendo, except for Wii U console which had most benefits in Europe.
Some exclusives released first in Europe.
Mario Kart 8 deal.. Choose 1 of 10 of mostly AAA games for free.
(I selected Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as the freebie as i already bought most of the other games)
Wasn't it only 1 of 3 games or something in USA on same deal?
Some games were physical only in Euroupe.
The best special editions of Wii U games were mostly in Europe. I bought them all including Bayonetta 2 First Print Edition and Fatal Frame 5 Special Edition (Project Zero - Black Maiden) .
@Ventilator I don't think I'll ever get over the lack of the Bayonetta 2 special edition here. Such a gorgeous package. And I remember that darned free game situation. We got 4 games, 2 of which I already had, and 1 of which was Wii Party U. Luckily I didn't have Pikmin 3 yet, but it definitely felt odd when you guys had 6 more games to pick from.
I missed the game on Wii U, so I have absolutely no issue with the game getting a second chance to shine on Switch!
@Klunk23 It sucks when you have only 4 games to choose from, and one of them is Wii Party U. Basically, you only had 3 games to choose from.
Europe had like 7-8 games of 10 games to choose from. Overall a bad list even with more options. Bssically only 3 of 10 is some kind of killer games, ignoring Zelda port which were a game i already bought on GameCube. Still bought it on Wii U.
Why were Nintendo Land one of them as it were bundled with Wii U?
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/04/mario_kart_8_club_nintendo_promotion_offers_a_free_wii_u_game
@Ventilator I guess it was for the like, %1 of Wii U owners who bought the White Wii U launch bundle which didn't come with the game?
One of the handful of games on Wii U I didn't get around to picking up. I'd be all over a Switch version.
@YozenFroghurt ....Who hurt you?
@Klunk23 according to who? Because of the art style it wasn’t a budget title? The game is worth $120 in my opinion. One of the best And most creative games I’ve played
@fafonio I wasn't calling the game a budget title? And by budget title, I was literally just referring to the actual price of the game being 60 bucks (here in NA), which would make it a full priced game instead of a budget title (which would be a game priced closer to 40 or 30 dollars). Also, I agree that the game is phenomenal, but Nintendo's choice to resell 5 or 6 year old games at full priced feels a little scummy. That being said, to get this game fully working on Switch mechanically it would probably take quite a bit of extra work which would help to justify the price point.
Its happening!!!!
@BranJ0 Huh...guess you never played Xenoblade Chronicles X...
@Klunk23 ohh ok man, sorry I misunderstood your comment
@Bizzyb uffff phenomenal game.... also one of the best on the WiiU
@fafonio That's ok! I had a feeling.
A 101 port would be good for people who missed it on the Wii U.
I'd like a Wonderful 102 though.
@PorllM Well. Platinum games released the photo along with the hints that something is up. I have to agree with everyone that The Wonderful 101 may be coming to the Switch, and the Switch only. If you look carefully at the picture, you can see a Switch there in the photo that they had chosen to release this statement. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Dino Crisis remake as well.
@Klunk23 I bought the black Premium edition of Wii U on impulse in a store. Only that version had Nintendo Land included.
I didn't even know Wii U were just launched back then, so i just took it with me when i found it stacked in a store. I were there just to buy a new laptop PC. Ended up with laptop under left arm and Wii U under right arm.
Premium edition had eShop discounts for 2 years too. I think it were around 20% off on all games for 24 months. You got a 5 bucks wallet card back after every 25 bucks you spent or something.
@Ventilator Well the Europe free list, 3D World, Tropical Freeze and Mario Kart 8 was pretty much the complete Nintendo published Wii U collection at the time (3D World and Tropical Freeze were too new to be included meanwhile the promo was for MK8 so those wouldn't be free). 3rd party games would need to be negotiated with the 3rd parties of which Nintendo really wasn't on good terms with 3rd parties at the time (you had situations like Ubisoft delaying the originally Wii U exclusive Rayman Legends to be a multiplatform game and Activision not releasing CoD DLC on Wii U until threatened with legal action and even then only released the free map).
So while the free list was rather weak, it was because the Wii U library in general was rather weak at the time.
@Bizzyb My brother played it, and it looks decent, but not really my cup of tea I'm afraid!
Kickstarter? Is money really that tight at Platinum?
Butbutbutbut there’s no PS4 or Xbox in his photo! How can he be teasing those?!? But there is a Neo Geo Mini! Neo Geo Mini port confirmed!!!
I’m not going to help fund anything on kickstarter
Crowd funding on Kickstarter makes me laugh.
Ugh, this is not the purpose of Kickstarter.
I own it for wiiU, played it for a couple hours and put it away. Not a very fun game at all.
As long as they don't ask more than $60 for the game on kickstarter, I don't really mind them doing it. It is easy to say we want the game on a survey, it's another to actually show it by committing money to back it.
@Grumblevolcano that would be awesome and a smart business move form Nintendo. I would easily double dip on two of those titles.
I feel certain I’ll back them. Curious about what tiers they will be, but I’ll pay like its a regular game at least. Plus, we, as those who played W101, know what its like and we can testify the game’s strengths and weaknesses. I do not mind helping in giving the W101 the second wind it deserves, after the Wii U era. Cant wait for others to see what they missed out on, underrated gem it is.
I never got to play the original so i really hope this is true.
@Shambo yeah I head zombie u was awesome. I still play my Wii U playing Star Fox at the moment got it for $10. Great game.
@Ryu_Niiyama that can happen if this port actually happens and sells well. But yeah I would love a sequel myself.
Hmm, the weirdest part about this entire Kickstarter rumor is the release for other consoles. The game (and even ip I think?) is owned by Nintendo, and thus they would have to approve of those releases.
Does anyone actually like hearing the words 'leak' and 'rumor' everytime they see something that's not 'news'. Everything seems to be, get this...
Fake news
W101 for Smash confirmed.
Color me skeptical. I would believe this rumor more if the other consoles weren't listed.
@JamesR That's what I thought! Why do they need a Kickstarter to release it?
The part where it says that The Wonderful 101 is coming to Switch, makes sense.
The part where it says it's coming to PS4 and XONE, doesn't, but who knows?
curious about this kickstarter with the whole tencent thing, seems like plays both ways to me
Don’t wanna be that guy, but I’m pretty sure that “report” is fake since Nintendo owns the Wonderful 101 IP.
Edit: Well looks like it’s true after all, but can we really say Liam “leaked” it just because he pointed out the “1:01” on the computer? If so, then that’s just pathetic.
I trust Liam Robertson 101%
why bother porting this game? It ain't going to sell again and it's not even that good. I'd rather have something else from Platinum Games.
The Kickstarter rumour is 101% true. Half the games media have been briefed on it
I wanted to love this game but it’s the last port I want from PlatinumGames. Madworld on the other hand...vanquish, I think it was called too. That would be nice.
Hope it comes..more platinum more better
Not sure why this game would come out on the PS4.
Those folks don't buy games that are creative and have good gameplay.
@Grumblevolcano Yes, you are right about that. Monster Hunter 3 were the only third party game on list.
Delaying Rayman Legends was stupid as Wii U version outsold all systems, and would sell even more on Wii U if it weren't delayed.
UBI were weird with Nintendo already on GameCube, and blamed it for poor sales 20 years ago too.
Also..UBI cancelled Steep for Switch in secret. You can't count on UBI on Switch at all except for ports of very old games.
Atleast Switch version is the only complete version of Rayman Legends ever as it includes all Xbox One/360 /PS3/PS4/PC exclusive characters too and some other new things not in other versions, but also a 1-2 new game modes exclusive to Switch.
@JuiceMan_V The Wonderful 101 will most likely sell more on PC than on PS4.
"An anonymous source, via 4chan" wow what great proof that this is real and not a lucky guess
Kickstarter is a great idea for The Wonderful 101.
That way, the 101 people who originally bought the game on Wii U can unite to (try to) get the game ported to current platforms.
Hang on, put the pitchforks and torches down a moment:
If some backer rewards are along the lines of "Put your Wonderful in game" or something, then a game where a ton of heroes come together makes unique sense on something like Kickstarter where a ton of backers come together for an arguably risky game.
"But if it's on Kickstarter, should I be worried about the game's quality?"
Ultimately, that's up to the amount you want to back. Personally, it's a Platinum game, so you will get "flash" for your buck and at least the content of the original. If you like Platinum's schtick, I'd say this will be a safer bet than other projects that will go unnamed.
Actually, I'll name one since it bricked consoles - Mighty No. 9.
They got their own spending cash now via third party investment, so....
Oh what the heck! throws confetti
@antdickens
Here ya go! The wonderful 101st comment. 😆
EDIT: Noooooooo... dangnabbit! 😆
@Ooyah I’m sorry, it was a selfish grab
@NinChocolate
But, but... MY LIFE'S WORK!!! 😆
@Ooyah you’re totally the sequel though! It’ll happen!
@NinChocolate
lol True!!! The Wonderful 102nd comment!
But, seriously mate... I was sitting here refreshing for 15 minutes to get comment number 101. pout 😂
Assuming this is true, would be a good way to open this game to a wider audience. I guess Nintendo would've let their ownership expire, can't blame em though.
Kinda funny too, for all the flack the Switch gets for Wii U ports/ports in general, the PS4 would be getting the exact same thing.
@Ooyah I didn’t even realize where the comment count was, my browser was stuck on 60 on the homepage. I got too excited to help myself!
@NinChocolate
Tee hee! Well, it gave us a fun little exchange. Cheers! 😊
Goes back into his box to wait for the next Wonderful 101 article. Next time... oh yes... 😆
If its not switch exclusive i wont bother
@Ooyah lol 👍
@Ventilator Surely Starlink and Mario + Rabbids proves you can count on Ubisoft a bit.
I would gladly buy this 2 more times for switch and ps4. This game is my all time favorite. It's my number 0 favorite game. Levels had plenty variety, the game was so colorful it hurt my eyes, and the boss battles were tiring (in the best way). I legit felt exhausted after winning them cuz they were so much. Combat could've been deeper, and a couple levels were very unwelcome but dude. This is the only game that tops dmc5 imo
This game was very cool but I'd rather have the Vanquish remaster on Switch, tbh. Or they could really mess people up by getting the go ahead to remaster Metal Gear Rising and port that over.
@ronb44 indeed it’s a masterpiece for me too. One of my all time favorites
@Doofenshmirtz they also have a offcial kickstarter page. Look it up on pushsquare if you want. Idc about the game anyway wether it comes or not.
@Zach then what is?
@mother_brain_85 why not lol? Not saying that you SHOULD but it but it seems weird to me that some people want a game, and when it goes multiplat they dont even want to play it.
@KoekiieWoekiie Raising funds for projects that would never get off the ground or get noticed without the platform, by individuals or very small companies who need this type of thing to launch whatever it is. It’s like when Zach Braff funded his crappy movie Wish I Was Here on the platform. He has the star power to raise that money the way it’s usually done in the industry. Same with Platinum.
@Zach there is some truth to that.
If I had a company who made a product that commercially failed and there seems to be a bit demand for it (and lets be honest... the people in comment sections are just a few in total game sales) I would not risk losing money again, no I would gauge intrest in through Kickstarter. Saves losing money and you hurt no one.
Also it seems that Nintendo does not have intrest in publishing this game themselves on Switch.
Also sorry for not sorting my text I’m on mobile.
@KoekiieWoekiie I highly doubt Nintendo has zero interest in supporting W101 coming to Switch. Maybe they think the timing isn’t right or something, but with Astral Chain proving a surprise success, I’m sure they would be happy to publish this too, if Platinum had it ready to go. And if as many indie studios etc find a way to publish the 100+ games we see on the eShop every week, Platinum could find a traditional way to fund this.
Not surprised Nintendo have no interest in funding a switch port. Game sold terribly bad on Wii U. It's extremely niche and Nintendo are not gonna throw money down the drain.
If Platinum bought the IP from Nintendo it must have been cheap.
I actually can see the Kickstarter project failing miserably. Apart from 101 diehards nobody is interested in this game.
@Magician You can play the majority of the game without ever interacting with the game pad screen. The only parts you can't are the parts where they split the attention between the game pad and the main screen, which could just be accomplished by how they did it in the original release. You could just press the minus button and have a smaller screen appear on the main screen you were using.
@Zach well monday we will see the answer to this all. If Nintendo still owns the ip and did not sell it or gave it back to platinum, there will be no kickstarter.
Ick, so Tencent gunna muck about my favorite new IP from the Wii U?
Nerthanks.
Oh, and let's not forget that Tencent is huge, invested so Platinum can have more freedom to even self publish, but needs Kickstarter. You cannot make this stuff up.
@HappyMaskedGuy Same. While wonderful 101 holds some sort of esteem, Nier: Automata is a bona fide masterpiece, and bumped the writer up to director of Astral Chain. Getting Nier into as many hands as possible should be the priority.
@Paraka tencent money is for new games. Platinum know themselves wonderful 101 is not a game that sells well. Using KS to fund any new port makes sense.
@kobashi100 - And crowdfunding a port makes Tencent free money off their investment. Essentially giving them money to give them money.
@kobashi100 I never played the Wii U game, but I remember hearing it was one of the games build around the gamepad. Redesigning the game to work around that is just one more obstacle to rerelease a commercial failure.
@PorllM Nintendo did not just publish the game. They financed it, which means it is Nintendo's IP. Though Nintendo could sell their rights to Platinum.. Platinum would not have the freedom to just see if Nintendo wanted to publish it and then just go somewhere else when they said no.
In some cases, Nintendo does simply publish titles but doesn't own the title... like with Daemon X Machina or Dragon Quest XI S, which they published in NA.
@roboshort yeah we literally know Platinum is putting it on Kickstarter now to get the funding to release themselves
@PorllM It's just a rumor. It is possible Platinum bought the IP from Nintendo. It just sounds really unlikely given Nintendo's history. You've never seen Pandora's Tower, Last Story, or a number of other Nintendo titles developed by external developers appearing on non-Nintendo systems.
@Dringo Not really as both are old games on Switch, and nothing new in 2-3 years, and nothing new is anounced.
Bethesda is the only major third party anouncing big new games for Switch. Doom Eternal next.
@kobashi100
Oh yeah, but Tokyo Mirrage Sessions sold so well, it clearly deserved a port.
@Ventilator Ubisoft hasn’t released a great deal in the last 12 months full stop. Over Christmas it was Just Dance and Ghost Recon, and one of those came to Switch.
It takes time to make these games. And I know of 2 Ubisoft games for Switch that are either unique or partially unique to the platform that people can look forward to. One is a sequel.
Surely Ubisoft commissioning unique Switch games targeted at the platform is more interesting than just ports? I love Bethesda’s support for Switch, but they haven’t gone out to create something new like Ubisoft have
@roboshort It’s more likely the rights to the IP have reverted to the studio. A bit like Alan Wake has with Remedy from Microsoft.
It is coming to Kickstarter
I'm a proud owner of a Wii U copy of this masterpiece. This is truly one the funniest games I've ever played. Quite difficult, too !
The gamepad was also well used, so a new version will eventually loose this feature.
But yeah, this licence HAS TO get some light again. It really deserves a second chance.
@Dringo The below is the the trademark to the Wonderful 101 in Japanese. It says Nintendo owns it. Just like they co-own the copyright to the game.
This all just doesn’t sound plausible to me. Why would Platinum have a Kickstarter for an old game when a new game makes much more sense? Why would Nintendo sell their rights to the game when they could make millions by releasing it on the Switch?Though one never knows

@roboshort Because Wonderful 101 is absolutely never going to make millions
@rushiosan i doubt their no investors are comfortable with them investing in a port of one of their biggest commercial failures. I suspect it’s Kickstarter or nothing
@SockJones I reckon it’s far and away their best game. Beautiful, enthralling and thought provoking. Love it.
@roboshort Nintendo make millions from wonderful 101?? Nah dude, the game flopped hard on Wii U and would be very niche on switch. Nintendo have no interest in the IP.
Just saw Jason Schreier replied to someone saying that this was fake on twitter.
He said this wont age well. And Jason is trustworty.
@AnnoyingFrenzy @KingBowser are you still skeptical?
@BrintaPap Yeah, is this the real life? Or is this fantasy?
@KingBowser86 Lucky you, you got comment #101. (It would’ve pained me if nobody acknowledged this)
@SteveDaSteve Appreciated! Funny, it said #99 when I posted.
